Core Workflow

Writing and Structure

Use markdown, sections, and clean document patterns to keep writing flexible as projects grow.

Writing and Structure

mdworkspace works best when you treat structure as something you can introduce gradually.

Start with plain markdown

Use markdown for:

  • Drafting
  • Outlining
  • Notes
  • Headings
  • Lists
  • Links

That keeps the source readable and portable from the start.

Use sections to control movement

Sections help when documents become large enough to rearrange:

  • Split with ---
  • Move related content together
  • Duplicate useful blocks
  • Collapse parts of the workspace that are not active right now

Keep documents easy to scan

Good habits:

  • Short section titles
  • Clear heading hierarchy
  • One job per section
  • Short paragraphs before adding structure

When to add richer blocks

Add richer blocks when the work starts acting like a system:

  • Tables for comparisons and tracked data
  • Boards for status and flow
  • Checklists for operational steps
  • Embeds when context needs external media

Next step

Apply the pattern in the live desktop surface.

Use the guide as the map, then turn it into a real workspace inside mdworkspace Desktop.
