File Formats

Markdown stores formatting as plain text, which means your notes stay readable, diffable, and portable no matter what opens them. That's the format Zelares's editor is built around: every document you write or import is plain .md, so nothing you create is ever locked to a single app.

Other document formats are not documented as supported yet. Convert them to .md before adding them to the editor.

Naming tips

  • Use clear names such as README.md, Meeting Notes.md, or Product Plan.md.
  • Keep internal links stable by avoiding unnecessary renames after other notes link to the file.
  • Use folders to organize related Markdown files during import.
