While SilverBullet is aimed at primarily text-based content, life can not fully be represented in text always. Therefore, SilverBullet supports documents. Documents, like Pages ultimately are — once again — just files on disk. Using plugs, documents of specific file types can also be viewed and edited.
To create a document, you have a few options:
All options will prompt you for a file name to use to store the document, and then include the document as an embedded image (if it was an image) or link to the file.
Using Ctrl-o
you can open the document navigator, which will display all documents in your Silverbullet space. You can either:
- Delete or rename documents for which no Document Editor is available (indicated by the grey hint)
- Open and view documents for which a Document Editor is available (indicated by the blue hint)
Documents can be linked to in two ways:
* Via the regular link syntax: [link text](document.pdf)
. URLs here are relative to the page, so on a page named MyFolder/Hello
, [link text](document.pdf)
would refer to a document stored in MyFolder/document.pdf
.
* Via the wiki link syntax: [document.pdf](document.pdf)
. These paths are absolute and relative to your space’s root, just like regular page links. That is: on a page MyFolder/Hello
a document link [document.pdf](document.pdf)
would link to the file document.pdf
in the space’s root folder.
Media can also be embedded using the #Linking syntax, but prefixed with an !
:
Images, videos, audio and PDFs are currently supported.


These follow the same relative/absolute path rules as links described before.
In addition, media can be sized using the following syntax:
* Specifying only a width: 
or 
* Specifying only a height: 
or 
* Specifying both width and height: 
or
