Format Your Page

Closot is built to get ideas out of your head and onto the page. Once they're there, you have a full set of tools to organize and structure them exactly the way you think 📐

Columns

Creating Columns

Columns let you place content side by side on the same line. There are two ways to create them.

Insert a column layout directly. Type / and choose the number of columns you want — Closot provides 2 Columns, 3 Columns, 4 Columns, and 5 Columns as ready-made layouts. Five columns is the maximum.

Drag an existing block into place.

1. Hover over any block to reveal the ⋮⋮ handle in the left margin
2. Click and drag the block to the right of another block
3. Follow the blue vertical guide that appears — drop when it spans the content area
4. Repeat to add further columns, up to five across the page width

note

Columns work on tablet but not on phone. On mobile, content in right-hand columns simply stacks below the left column content.

Removing Columns

1. Hover the block in the right column, grab the ⋮⋮ handle
2. Drag it back to the left until the blue guide spans the full page width
3. Drop it to remove the column layout

To delete an empty column: click ⋮⋮ on it and select Delete.

tip

Resize columns by hovering over the shared edge between two columns — a gray vertical drag handle appears. Drag it left or right to adjust proportions.

Tabular Content

Closot doesn't have a plain, non-database table block. Whenever you need rows and columns, you use a database — which gives you filtering, sorting, and per-row pages for free.

To add one inline, type /list and press Enter. Then:

Action	How
Add a row	Click New page at the bottom of the database
Add a column	Click + to the right of the last property header

See Intro to Databases for the full picture.

Headings

Adding Headings

Four ways to create a heading:

1. Hover a new line → click + → select your heading size
2. Type /h1, /h2, or /h3 and press Enter
3. Use Markdown at the start of a line: # for H1, ## for H2, ### for H3, followed by a space
4. Type your content first, then press Cmd/Ctrl + / and choose a heading size

Table of Contents

A table of contents makes long pages much easier to navigate, letting readers jump directly to any section.

Table of Contents Block

Insert as a standalone block anywhere on your page:

• Hover a new line → click + → select Table of contents
• Or type /toc and press Enter

note

Indented headings won't appear in the table of contents block.

The block stays in sync with your headings — as you add, rename, or remove sections, the entries update automatically.

---

Dividers

A divider draws a horizontal line across the page, giving readers a clean break between sections.

Type --- (three hyphens) at the start of a line and Closot converts it into a divider as soon as you finish typing.

note

Dividers are created through Markdown rather than the / menu — searching the block menu for "divider" returns no results.

Once inserted, a divider behaves like any other block: grab its ⋮⋮ handle to move it, or select it and press Backspace to remove it. See Keyboard Shortcuts for the full set of Markdown shortcuts.
