Tables & Checklists
Insert and edit tables and interactive checklists in your notes with the Krokanti Notes rich text editor.
Krokanti Notes supports rich tables and interactive checklists — two of the most useful formatting tools for organizing information and tracking tasks.
Tables
Inserting a Table
- Click the table icon in the editor toolbar
- A default 3×3 table is inserted at your cursor
- Click any cell and start typing
Adding Rows and Columns
Right-click inside any table cell to open the table context menu:
- Add row before / Add row after — insert a row above or below the current row
- Add column before / Add column after — insert a column to the left or right
- Delete row — remove the current row
- Delete column — remove the current column
- Delete table — remove the entire table
Press Tab to jump to the next cell. Press Tab in the last cell of the last row to automatically add a new row at the bottom.
Table in Markdown
In source view (click <> in the toolbar), tables use standard Markdown syntax:
| Name | Role | Status |
|---------|-----------|---------|
| Alice | Engineer | Active |
| Bob | Designer | Active |
| Carol | Manager | Remote |
The first row is the header row. Columns are separated by |, and rows are separated by newlines. Column widths are adjusted automatically.
Formatting Inside Tables
You can use bold, italic, inline code, and links inside table cells. Avoid nesting block-level elements (headings, lists) inside cells.
Checklists
Inserting a Checklist
- Click the checklist icon (☐) in the toolbar, or
- In source view, type
- [ ](dash, space, bracket, space, bracket, space) at the start of a line
Using Checklists
Click any checkbox to toggle it between checked (✓) and unchecked (☐). The check state is saved automatically.
- [x] Buy groceries
- [ ] Call dentist
- [x] Finish report
- [ ] Read book chapter
In the grid/card view of your notes, checklists are interactive — you can tick items directly from the card without opening the full note.
Nesting Checklist Items
Indent checklist items with two spaces to create sub-tasks:
- [ ] Launch product
- [x] Write copy
- [x] Design mockups
- [ ] Set up analytics
- [ ] QA testing
Converting Lists to Checklists
You can convert a regular bullet list to a checklist by:
- Selecting the list items
- Clicking the checklist icon in the toolbar
Each bullet becomes a checkbox item.
Checklist Statistics
At the bottom of the editor, the stats footer shows a task completion summary for notes that contain checklists — e.g., "3 / 7 tasks done". This updates as you check items off.
