Placeholder note

Placeholder — replace with real content. This markdown note exists to prove the dynamic Notes listing and the markdown pipeline work — and, now, to show that a note can carry pictures too. Three kinds of image drop into the flow, each framed to suit what it is.

First, a scanned pencil sketch — the sort of thing torn from a notebook, photographed or scanned, and taped in. It keeps a slight tilt so it reads as a physical scrap, not a screenshot.

Second, an inline SVG — a vector figure, authored by hand or generated. Because it is vector it stays crisp at any size and prints clean; a hairline grid signals that it is precise rather than sketched.

Third, a photograph — matted like a print, with a caption line across the bottom border. Use it for objects, places, and anything a sketch or diagram would flatten.

A note can also hold a small table, typed straight into the column. It keeps the typed face, and its rules are drawn in pencil — so it sits on the page rather than floating above it.

Table 1 — media a note can hold.

Captions carry the voice: a handwritten aside for sketches, a typed line for prints and diagrams.
