Calc Blocks

Perform inline calculations anywhere in your notes with the @calc prefix. Results update live as you type.

Calc blocks let you do arithmetic directly inside your Markdown notes. No need to switch to a calculator or spreadsheet — just type an expression and see the result inline.

Basic Syntax

Start a line with @calc followed by an expression:

@calc 1920 * 1080
= 2,073,600

@calc 2500 / 12
= 208.33

The = line is written by MoreInfo and updates automatically whenever you change the expression above it.

Supported Operations

Operation Syntax Example
Addition + @calc 100 + 42
Subtraction - @calc 200 - 37
Multiplication * @calc 4 * 5
Division / @calc 20 / 4
Exponentiation ^ @calc 2 ^ 10
Parentheses (...) @calc (3 + 4) * 2
Percentages % @calc 200 * 15%

Named Variables

Define a variable on one line and reference it in subsequent @calc expressions in the same note:

@calc rate = 85
@calc hours = 160
@calc rate * hours
= 13,600

@calc rate * hours * 0.3
= 4,080

Variables are scoped to the current note. Renaming or deleting the definition line removes the variable.

Unit Conversions

MoreInfo understands common unit conversions:

@calc 5 km in miles
= 3.11 miles

@calc 72 °F in °C
= 22.22 °C

@calc 10 stone in kg
= 63.5 kg

Why Inline?

Keeping calculations in your notes means the context and the result live together. Months later, you can see not just the answer but the reasoning behind it — which numbers you used and why. When the inputs change, update the expression and the result updates with it.
