Mixed Media Gallery Demo

Yes — a note can include a gallery/slider-style section using markdown + embedded media.

What this demo shows

  • A hero image placeholder
  • A mock mixed-media gallery section
  • Examples of image, video, PDF, and external link embeds in one note

Generated placeholder image

Use these embeds together in a single note:

PDF slide

Video slide

Downloadable file / asset tile

How it works

  • Notes support markdown images directly.
  • Notes also support file embeds using the {{file:url|name|mime}} format.
  • That lets one note hold mixed media types.
  • If you want a true swipeable slider UI, that depends on the frontend renderer for the note view. This note demonstrates the content structure that powers it.

Next iteration ideas

  • Add 6–10 generated images for a fuller carousel
  • Use branded thumbnails for each asset type
  • Add captions under each media item
  • Build a cleaner HTML-based custom slider note if you want a richer presentation
