This page is written to provide a short explanation of the organization of this wiki and provide some guidance for the owner to manage new students in the future.
<aside> 💡 Notion has several different types of "blocks" that can be used to format the page in a specific way. Below are some of the blocks (and how to make them) that I find most useful. Feel free to explore more on your own for formatting. This is a "callout block."
</aside>
*1.In-line tables — /table
| Example | Example 2 |
|---|---|
| Simple table | Just strings |
Embedded page (subpage) — /page
/link to page or highlight text & ctrl+k (can also be used for external websites)@page name, an option will pop up to create a mention (in-line) to the page.Notion has a powerful databases feature that allows you to add additional details to an entry, add and sort by tags or other metadata. In fact, each entry can be treated as an entirely new page! This is perfect if you want to present many pieces of information in one place, then expand on each with more information or be able to filter.
Databases can be presented in different “views,” such as a list, table, gallery, kanban board, or even as a calendar if appropriate. A table is generally the most versatile. It is important to note that a single database can have multiple views, so for example you can have three table views that filter only a specific tag, and a kanban board that organizes them all, and a simple gallery to get an overview of everything available at once.
#, ##, or ###These will also link automatically to a /table of contents. You can also transform a header into a toggle block by putting a > and pressing space at the start of a header block.
↑ That's a divider — /divider
If you want to insert an equation, you can type using LaTeX formatting. Either in-line using $$y=mx+b$$or /equation, or on a whole new line with /block equation
$$ \rho=\frac{m}{V} $$
And there are many more! Click the + button on the left side of a block (or type /) to see all the options.
