Supported Formatting

Everywhere Admire lets you write more than a line, it is the same rich text editor: playbook pages, Meeting agendas and notes, development plans, skill and AI Coach descriptions. Content is Markdown underneath, so the usual syntax works as you type it, and what you write stays readable if it is ever exported or read by an AI tool.

There are two ways to reach the formatting rather than typing it:

• Select text for a floating bar of the inline options.
• Type / for a menu of the blocks you can insert. Keep typing to filter it.

Text and blocks

Available in every editor.

What	How
Headings	#, ##, ###, or the / menu. Levels 1 to 3.
Bold, italic, underline, strikethrough	The floating bar, the usual keyboard shortcuts, or **bold** and _italic_.
Lists	- for bullets, 1. for numbers, / for a checklist. Any list can be switched to another type at any depth.
Quotes	> at the start of a line.
Links	Paste a URL onto selected text, or use the floating bar.
Code	Backticks for inline code, or a fenced block from the / menu. Blocks are syntax highlighted.
Tables	The / menu inserts a 3x3 table with a header row.
Callouts	GitHub-style alerts: > [!NOTE], > [!TIP], > [!WARNING], and so on.
Horizontal rule	---, or the / menu.

A few shorthands are rewritten as you type: -> and <- become arrows, -- becomes an em dash, and << >> become guillemets. Nothing else is auto-corrected, and none of it fires inside code or a diagram.

Pictures, diagrams and video

What	How
Images	Paste or drag one straight in, or pick a file from the / menu.
Mermaid diagrams	A fenced block tagged mermaid renders as a diagram. Wide ones are scaled to fit, and the expand control opens them full screen to zoom and scroll.
YouTube	Paste a video URL.

A Mermaid block is written as an ordinary fenced block with the language set to mermaid, so this:

```mermaid
flowchart LR
  Draft --> Review --> Published
```

renders as:

flowchart LR
  Draft --> Review --> Published

See the Mermaid syntax docs for the diagram types available.

Linking to things in Admire

What	How
Playbook pages	Type [[ and search. The link renders as a chip that opens the page.
People	Type @ and pick someone. The mention shows their current name, so it stays right after a rename.
Question sets	The / menu, in a Meeting’s agenda. A line that holds only the card is what asks that question set at the Meeting.
Badges	The / menu. A small label for tagging a line, for example a status or an owner.
Commitments	The / menu. A checklist item badged as something the person is committing to.

Not every editor offers every block

The blocks in this last group reference other records, so they are offered only where that makes sense. Playbook pages, Meeting notes, development plans and your organization’s business context get all of them. Descriptions on a person, a team or a job role are deliberately self-contained, so they keep the text, lists, tables, callouts, code and plain links above and nothing else. Question sets are offered in a Meeting’s agenda alone.

Reading what somebody else wrote

Content written in an editor that had a block yours does not still renders wherever it is read. A mention of somebody who has since left, or a link to a playbook page you cannot see, reads as plain text rather than disappearing.
