Wiki links and extract

Wiki links connect notes inside a space. Extract turns a selection into a new note and leaves a link behind. The Rich ribbon covers common formatting while you write.

Create a wiki link

1. Place the cursor where you want the link.
2. Type [[.
3. Start typing a note name.
4. Pick a match from autocomplete, or finish the target and type ]].

Examples:

[[Project plan]]
[[Project plan|Plan]]
[[Project plan#Timeline]]
![[diagram.png]]

• [[Note]]: link to a note
• [[Note|alias]]: show custom link text (alias)
• [[Note#Heading]]: jump to a heading in that note
• ![[file]]: embed an image or note content

Autocomplete lists notes and files in the space. Choose a row to insert a valid target. Broken targets stay visible as links you can fix later.

Extract selection to a note

Extract works in Rich mode.

1. Select the text you want to move.
2. Use the Rich ribbon control Extract to note, or run Extract to Note from the command palette / menu.
3. Confirm the new note name and location in the Extract to Note dialog.

Glyph creates a new Markdown file with the selected content, removes that content from the current note, and inserts a [[wiki link]] to the new note in its place.

Use extract when a section outgrows the parent note, or when you want a reusable linked page.

Rich ribbon basics

With a selection (or while typing) in Rich mode, the ribbon gives you:

• Bold and Italic
• Text color and Clear color
• Text highlight and Clear highlight
• Link controls for standard links
• Extract to note when a selection is ready to split out

Slash commands cover headings, lists, callouts, and more. The ribbon covers inline style and extract. Color and highlight also appear in the slash menu as Color: and Highlight: items.

Footnotes

Glyph recognizes Markdown footnotes such as:

Claim with a source.[^source]

[^source]: Full citation or note.

You type footnote markers and definitions yourself. Glyph does not insert footnote syntax for you from a menu.

Click a footnote marker or definition to navigate between the reference and its definition. That is click navigation only: editing still happens by changing the Markdown (in Rich or Raw) as normal text.

Workflow sketch

1. Draft in Rich with the ribbon for bold, italic, color, and highlight.
2. Link related notes with [[ as ideas connect.
3. Extract long sections with Extract to Note so each topic has its own file and a [[link]] back.
4. Add footnotes by hand when you need citations; click them to jump while reading.

Keep wiki targets inside the same space so autocomplete and navigation stay reliable.
