Frequently Asked Questions
What is the proper format for Tana Paste?
The proper Tana Paste format starts with the header %%tana%%, followed by nodes that begin with a dash and space (- ). Child nodes are indented with two spaces. References use double brackets [[like this]], fields use double colons (Field name:: value), and tags use the hash symbol (#tag).
How does the structure detection work?
The converter automatically analyzes your content to identify if it’s JSON data, code blocks, Markdown formatted text, or a list structure. Based on the detected type, it applies the appropriate formatting rules to maintain the original hierarchy when converted to Tana format.
Can I format code blocks in Tana?
Yes! Our converter automatically recognizes code blocks and formats them with triple backticks (“`). It even attempts to identify the language for proper syntax highlighting. This ensures your code maintains its formatting and is easily readable when viewed in Tana.
How do tags work in Tana?
Tags in Tana (called supertags) help categorize and organize information. They’re created using the # symbol (like #project). For multi-word tags, you can use brackets: #[[project management]]. Our converter helps you properly format tags for your main node.
