# Writing Notes
Notes are simple text files with some extra flavor, in the shape of Markdown syntax and support for extra properties (see [[note-properties]]).
## Foam Syntax
Foam uses standard markdown, with a few added twists:
- the title of a note (e.g. in the [[graph-visualization]]) is given by precedence based on:
- the `title` property (see [[note-properties]])
- the first `# heading 1` of the file
- the file name
## Markdown Syntax
With markdown we can style our notes in a simple way, while keeping the document a simple text file (the best way to future-proof your writings!).
You can see the formatted output by running the `Markdown: Open Preview to the Side` command.
Here is a high level overview of Markdown, for more information on the markdown syntax [see here](https://commonmark.org/help/).
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
### Heading 3
#### Heading 4
##### Heading 5
###### Heading 6
