# Editor

> Edit documents with SoloEnt Markdown editor

SoloEnt editor is a standard Markdown editor that supports all editing features for Markdown files.

<Info>
  Other file formats may need to be converted to Markdown first. See [file format conversion](/essentials/file-format-conversion).

## Markdown syntax

For detailed syntax reference, see Markdown common syntax.

| Italic        | `_italic_`        | *italic*          |
| Strikethrough | `~strikethrough~` | ~~strikethrough~~ |

Split view allows you to view and edit multiple documents simultaneously, improving productivity.
