How to use the editor at read.cash
The editor is pretty simple and tries to get out of your way as much as possible. But, don't let the simplicity fool you - it allows you to do a lot.
Headings, subheadings
Adding headings and subheadings is simple - just click H1 (header), H2 (subheading) or type a hash (#) followed by a space at the beginning of the line, like this:
Bold, italics, links
To make something bold, italic or a link to somewhere, just select some text and you'll see a context menu:
Click B to make it bold (or you can also press Ctrl+B/Cmd+B), I for italics (Ctrl+I/Cmd+I).
"Add link" to make a link (it should be Ctrl+K/Cmd+K, but we haven't implemented it yet).
Underline is Ctrl+U/Cmd+U.
You can also use markdown shortcuts, like **bold** or *italic*.
Strike-through is ~strike-through~.
Images
To insert an image - just drag-n-drop it to the empty space or click the image button in the toolbar.
Clipboard support
The other very convenient way to insert an image is by pasting it from the clipboard. Just copy the image to the clipboard and press Ctrl+V or Cmd+Von Mac.
Embeds
We currently support YouTube, Vimeo, Streamable, lbry.tv videos and SoundCloud embedding, but we'll add more integration later. Just paste the URL of the video into the text:
Alternatively you can click the "video" button in the toolbar.
Lists
To make a list - start a paragraph with a dash and a space - or an asterisk and a space (* ) - that should make a list like this:
Improve the editor
Improve it some more
Never stop improving
To make a numbered list - start with a number, a dot and space: 1. , like this:
The most important part
Second most
...the others
Code
There are two kind of code markup: inline (for stuff like variable names, etc...) and code block (for long pieces of code).
Inline code
To make an inline reference, like this: variableName - just type a backtick (`), then the name, then another backtick. Or select some text and click < > in the popup menu:
Code blocks
To make a code block:
Code blockJust type three backticks (```), then type or paste your code. Or you can click <> on an empty space:
Block quotes
"Adding a block quote is pretty easy." - read.cash authors
To add a block quote - start a line with > .
Saving the article
You can always press Ctrl+S or Cmd+S to save your article or click Save as Draft at the top of the editor.
Publishing the article
When you're ready - press the Publish button at the top of the editor.
To Do items
You can also add "To Do items", like this:
Boil the teapot
Fry the eggs
Take out the garbage
Just type [ ] at the beginning of the line.
You can even drag them to move.
Images
You can also position images on your screen.
You can also add shadow to the image - it makes some content better. Though it mostly works great if you have white background and some padding.
Final notes
We understand that our editor is not perfect. There are quirks. There is some missing functionality. But as we're also the ones who are using it - we're definitely going to improve it as much as possible.
