Supported Blocks

Hello World 👋

This help article is written in Notion and is a part of support.helpkit.so powered by HelpKit.

Let's see what you can do with HelpKit 🚀...

Basic Blocks

Paragraph

You can write paragraphs like you normally would. The text you are currently reading is a paragraph. As you can see, all types of annotations are supported – bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, inline code, different text color, different text background or combinations of these.


Headings

All of the headings (H1, H2, H3) that are in Notion are supported by HelpKit

Here are the examples of how they look:

H1 Section

H2 Sub Section

H3 Sub Sub Section

 

Title


Bulleted List

You can also add lists as bullet points:

  • Item 1
  • Item 2
  • Item 3

Numbered List

Maybe you want them to be numbered. You can do that as well.

  1. Item 1
  1. Item 2
  1. Item 3

Quote

You can even add quotes to your post which looks like this.

"This is a quote".

Divider

You can even separate two blocks of content with a divider 👇


Callout

You can also make something standout by using a callout like this.

💡
A great way to emphasize your content

External Link

You can add external links that will get opened in a separate window.


Internal Link

You can also add an internal inline link to another help article that will smoothly transition to each other. Alternatively you can also use a page link to another help article like so:


Code Snippets

You can add your code snippets to your blog post. This might be very useful to you if you are writing technical blog posts.

const x = 2
let y = 1

You can also give your code block a caption and then it will appear automagically attached to the code. Your users also can copy and paste the code to their clipboard.

examples/code-block/with-a-caption-title.js
const object = {
		title: null,
		date: '01-01-2022'
}

object.title = 'Check out the name and copy to clipboard button at the top'

You can emphasize the caption text as well and make it feel like a real coding snippet.

examples/code-block/with-a-caption-title.js
const object = {
		title: null,
		date: '01-01-2022'
}

object.title = 'Check out the name and copy to clipboard button at the top'
 

Math Equations

You can also use Latex math equations via block equations:

 
 

Or also via inline math equations such as the hash within the transaction (point J. above) is in fact a Hash Chain structure (image 6), as it is built by the successive application of a hash function h(), n times to the input x and additional information :


Bookmarks

Easily add bookmarks to your blog post.


Media

Images

You can upload your own image (or paste any image url) and view that here.

Complex Layouts

You can even create some complex layouts of images, or any other Notion block really on your HelpKit knowledge base.

Nesting works just fine.

It is also responsive.

Videos

Want to show a youtube video on your help center article? You can do that. Most of the other popular video embeds work too.

 
💡
Please note that videos that are uploaded via Notion itself currently do not work. We are working on a solution to make this possible in the near-time future. If you need this feature, please reach out and let us know so we can prioritize it.
 

Synced Blocks

 

You can also use sync blocks to avoid content duplication. Sync blocks allow you to re-use the same notion blocks throughout all of your documents.

Conclusion

There is still a lot more you can do with your HelpKit powered knowledge base. If you have any feedback or want HelpKit to support an embed that isn't yet supported, reach out to me at dominik@helpkit.so
