Cite Paragraphs, Stay Connected

Announcement - Citation (1)

Great ideas shouldn’t get lost in the noise.

With Paragraph Citation, you can give credit where it’s due — without breaking the flow.

Don’t stress about gathering insights, remixing ideas, or weaving together collaborative documentation; this feature lets you pull in the exact paragraph you need, complete with source details.

No more copy-pasting. No more chasing down links.

Just clean, traceable citations that bring context with you wherever you write. And when others reference your work, you’ll see it in action, helping you stay connected to the conversations your notes inspire.

Enhancing HackMD for you

At HackMD, we believe the little things make a big difference in your workflow.

Paragraph Citation adds that extra layer of seamless collaboration, making it easier to save time and share note insights. When others cite your note, you can discover who’s building on your work through citation cards. It’s a simple way to connect thoughts and help knowledge spread and grow.

We’re continuing to build tools that empower you to create, edit, and collaborate with confidence and ease.
