What is Markdown?

In case you didn't know, the editing feature in Summarify uses a powerful formatting language called Markdown. While you may see it as a simple text summary editor, Markdown allows you to add formatting like bold, italics, headings, lists, and even links to your summaries. It's a great way to personalize and enhance your text with just a few simple symbols.

Here are some basic Markdown examples:

• Bold Text:
  **This is bold text** displays as This is bold text.

• Italic Text:
  *This is italicized text* displays as This is italicized text.

• Headings:

# Heading 1 
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4

• Lists:

- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3

• Links:
  [Click here](https://www.example.com) will create a clickable link.

Note: Right now summarify only supports the above markdown formats

How to Use the Text Summary Editing Feature

1. Navigate to the History Tab:
   To begin editing a summary, first go to the History tab. This tab contains all of your previously summarized YouTube videos.

2. Choose a Summary to Edit:
   Select the summary you'd like to edit. Tap on the menu button located in the top-right corner of the summary card.

3. Tap "Edit Summary":
   From the dropdown menu, tap "Edit Summary." This will open the summary, and you can begin editing the text.

4. Edit the Summary:
   Use the editor to adjust your text as needed. You can add emphasis, structure, or links with Markdown to make your summary clearer and more engaging.

   

5. Preview Your Edits:
   Tap on the magnifying glass icon in the center of the edit menu. This will show you a preview of how your edits will appear once the text is rendered.

   

6. Save or Export Your Edits:
   After making your changes, you can:

   • Save Edits: Keep the summary with your new changes for later.
   • Export Edits: Export the summary directly as a PDF or raw text by tapping the export button.

By using this editor, you have full control over how your YouTube summaries look and feel before sharing or saving them.
