Notebook — a lab notebook that keeps itself legible

Notebook styles your markdown like a well-kept lab book: warm paper, ballpoint-blue rules, and dashed boxes where observations get taped in. Below is a complete sample rendered in it.

What does the Notebook theme look like?

This is a complete sample report rendered in Notebook — the exact output the editor downloads, embedded here unmodified.

Quarterly Growth Report

Written by an LLM in seconds — styled by markdown.style.

This is the markdown an AI assistant hands you: solid structure, zero design. The theme you are looking at is doing all of the visual work.

Highlights

Region Revenue Growth
EMEA 4.2M +14%
APAC 3.1M +22%
AMER 6.8M +9%

What drove the quarter

Net growth is computed per region as rate * (1 - churnShare) and rolled up weekly. The pipeline behind it:

export function netGrowth(rates: number[], churn: number[]): number {
  return rates.reduce((sum, r, i) => sum + r * (1 - (churn[i] ?? 0)), 0)
}

Numbers exclude the acquisition closed after the quarter cutoff.[1]


Full methodology lives in the reporting handbook.

What does every element look like in Notebook?

The same markdown building blocks, one by one: headings, tables, code, quotes, lists, and footnotes, exactly as Notebook styles them.

Table Structure GFM pipe syntax
Code Structure fenced block
List Structure ordered and plain

Code block

export function sum(nums: number[]): number {
  return nums.reduce((total, n) => total + n, 0)
}

Blockquote

Who is the Notebook theme for?

Experiment logs, research journals, and working notes — documents that grow daily and still need to read cleanly at review time.

Which themes pair well with it?

  • Lecture — Course notes, tutorials, and study guides
  • Slate — Specs, status updates, PRDs, and technical summaries
