Note Block
A note block is the atomic unit of a note — a paragraph, heading, list item, image, table, code block, callout, web clip, or task — each with its own ID, formatting, and slash-command shortcuts.
In depth
OpenCharts Notes is built on a custom block editor. Every block has a stable ID so cross-block features like comments, tasks, and version history can pin to specific content.
Custom block specs add platform features beyond the standard set — for example, the webClip block renders a collapsible card for clipped web content, with metadata, hover actions, and outline-sidebar integration.
Examples
- Heading + paragraph + bullet list
- Embedded code block with syntax highlighting
- Web clip card from the Chrome extension

Notes Editor
The Notes Editor is the OpenCharts rich-text workspace — a polished block editor with slash commands, themes, inline AI, version history, real-time collaboration, and exports to DOCX, PDF, Markdown, HTML, and JSON.
Slash Command
A slash command is a /-triggered menu inside Notes that inserts a block, runs an action, or opens an inline AI prompt — e.g. /heading, /todo, /clip, /ai.
Web Clip Block
A web clip block is a special Notes block that renders a clipped web page or selection as a collapsible card with the source URL, favicon, clipped date, and re-clip / open / delete actions.
