Write notes in a simple, natural syntax, then turn them into interactive slides, timelines, org charts, web pages, or even LaTeX.
Use the bar at the top of the screen to pick your view — it defines how your note looks and how others can interact with it.

# Use cases
Here are a few ways you can bring your ideas to life:

{Giving a talk?}
Convert your note into a polished slideshow in one click.

- [Beautiful by default] Instantly preview your slides with a light, elegant theme that looks great right out of the box.
- [Presentation mode] Press `F` (or use the on-screen button) to go fullscreen and start presenting in seconds.
- [Clicker-friendly] Use the left/up arrows to go back and right/down arrows (or a click) to move forward — fully compatible with standard clickers.
- [Stay oriented] A breadcrumb-style headings navigation path anda subtle slide counter help you and your audience stay on track.

{Taking meeting minutes?}
Jotting down meeting notes or planning deadlines? Watch your note evolve into a smart timeline, automatically laying out your entries as calendar-style events.
- [Vertical timeline] View all your meetings in a clean, scrollable timeline, neatly grouped by month.
- [Interactive calendar] Explore your entries by date with an intuitive, built-in calendar view.
- [Downloadable invites] Instantly access a calendar-ready link for each event you create.
- [Simple syntax] Just name a heading like `DD/MM/YYYY - Your title here`, and it’s automatically integrated into your timeline and calendar.

*Tip*: mark an entry as cancelled by naming it `DD/MM/YYYY - Cancelled` and it’ll appear clearly tagged across your views.

{Writing a paper?}
Drafting a paper or thesis? Keep it simple — write in plain text, and let Quintessence generate clean, compile-ready LaTeX for you.
- [Heavy lifting handled] All the LaTeX overhead is taken care of, so you can focus on writing, not formatting.
- [Smart list support] Checkboxes, radio buttons, and definition lists are automatically translated into proper LaTeX syntax.
- [Structured output] Your note is formatted as a polished report, complete with headings, sections, and an automatically generated table of contents.
- [Copy-ready output] Generate perfectly formatted LaTeX you can copy and paste straight into your preferred LaTeX platform.

{Blog post or article?}
Turn your notes into a beautiful, interactive webpage. Collapsible sections and a dynamic outline make navigation a breeze.
- [Polished layout] Automatically formatted with clean, modern styling for maximum readability and impact.
- [Instant outline navigation] An automatically generated outline lets you jump directly to any heading or subheading with a single click.
- [Grid view option] Switch to a dynamic grid layout where each section becomes an interactive tile for quick scanning.

{Organisation chart}
Planning team structures or reporting relationships? Instantly turn your content into a clear, visual org chart — perfect for planning, reporting, or onboarding. No diagramming tools needed.
- [Collapsible nodes] Click on any person to fold or unfold their subordinates for easy navigation.
- [Clear hierarchy] Visualise the organisation as a top-down tree, with reporting lines clearly indicated.
- [Highlight roles] Quickly focus on a department, team, or individual to see responsibilities at a glance.
