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

  1. Click the table icon in the editor toolbar
  2. A default 3×3 table is inserted at your cursor
  3. 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

  1. Click the checklist icon (☐) in the toolbar, or
  2. 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:

  1. Selecting the list items
  2. 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.
