Markdown shortcuts, in Sinhala

Type the Markdown syntax you already use and AkuruLiyo applies the formatting live, the same way Notion and Obsidian do:

  • # , ## , ### for H1, H2, H3
  • **bold**, *italic*, ~~strike~~
  • - or 1. for bulleted and numbered lists
  • `inline code` and triple-backtick fenced code blocks
  • > for blockquotes

You can mix Singlish words anywhere inside that syntax. The conversion runs on each word — the Markdown tokens stay as Markdown, your Singlish becomes Sinhala. So # mage lipiya renders as a Sinhala H1, මගේ ලිපිය, with the heading already applied.

Export to where you publish

The File menu has two Markdown exits: Copy as Markdown for pasting into another tool, and Download as .md for keeping the file. The output is clean CommonMark — headings as #, lists as - / 1., links as [text](url). Nothing AkuruLiyo-specific. The same string opens correctly in Obsidian, Notion (paste as Markdown), VS Code, GitHub READMEs, Hugo / Eleventy / Astro site generators, and any other Markdown-aware tool.

A few audiences this is built for: tech bloggers writing Sinhala posts for a static-site blog; university students taking lecture notes in Markdown; founders writing internal docs that mix Sinhala prose with English code identifiers. For a broader look at the editor (formatting, lists, etc.) the Sinhala text editor page has more detail. For just the conversion behaviour, see Singlish to Sinhala.

Frequently asked questions

Which Markdown features are supported?
Headings (H1–H3), bold, italic, strikethrough, inline code, fenced code blocks, bulleted lists, numbered lists, links, and blockquotes. The full CommonMark feature set used by Obsidian and Notion.
Can I paste the exported Markdown into Obsidian?
Yes. The export is plain CommonMark, so Obsidian, Notion (via paste-as-Markdown), VS Code, GitHub, and Hugo all read it directly. The Sinhala text travels as Unicode.
Can I import a Markdown file I already have?
Yes — paste the contents into the editor and AkuruLiyo parses the Markdown into formatted content. A dedicated Open .md file picker is on the v2 roadmap.
Does the Markdown stay Markdown if I switch documents?
The document model is structured, so what you see is always a formatted document — the Markdown is a serialisation, not the storage format. Export to .md at any time and the output is fresh.
Does this work for non-Sinhala Markdown too?
Yes. The Markdown layer is language-agnostic. You can write pure English notes here if you want — the Singlish conversion only fires on words that look like Singlish.
