Rich blocks

Rich blocks add structure to a note without leaving Markdown. Each one degrades to readable text in any other editor, so your notes never depend on Scaffold to make sense.

Toggles

A toggle hides its content until you open it. Start it with :::toggle followed by the label, and end it with :::.

:::toggle Packing list
- Tent and pegs
- Stove, two gas canisters
:::

• Write :::toggle+ to make the toggle start open.
• Anything can go inside: lists, code, images, even other blocks.
• Scaffold also reads HTML toggles written as <details><summary>Label</summary>…</details>.

Callouts

Callouts highlight a passage. They are block quotes whose first line names a type in brackets, followed by an optional title.

> [!tip] Before you leave
> Check the forecast for the ridge, not just the valley.

• The type picks the colour and icon, for example note, tip or warning.
• Add + or - after the brackets to make the callout foldable: > [!info]- Details starts folded, > [!info]+ Details starts open.
• In other editors a callout reads as an ordinary quote.

Embeds

Notes, headings and files

Put ! in front of a wikilink to show the target inside the current note instead of linking to it.

![[Garden plan]]
![[Garden plan#Spring]]
![[diagram.png]]

Images, audio, video and PDF files from your vault are shown inline. Embedding a database note, such as ![[Projects/Projects.md]], shows its default view read-only; if that is not available in your build it falls back to the ordinary note embed.

Web embeds

:::embed https://video.example/watch?v=ridge
:::

Web embeds are click-to-load. Scaffold shows a card with the address, and nothing from that site is fetched until you click it. Then:

• Only https: addresses are loaded, inside a sandboxed frame that sends no referrer.
• For well-known video hosts, Scaffold switches to the host’s privacy-friendly embed address.
• Any other address is shown as a link card instead of a frame.

Embeds never load on their own: not when a note opens, not in search results, not in exports.
