you customize your notes, including:</para>

the note is a toolbar with several buttons and text. Directly below this

toolbar is the content area of the note. This is illustrated in <xref linkend="new-note"/>.</para>
374
<para>The note can be edited by clicking in the content area and using
375
the keyboard to add and remove content. The first line is considered the
376
title of the note. By default this is populated with the text

<quote><literal>New Note <replaceable>N</replaceable></literal></quote>.
378
The title is changed by clicking in the content area on the first line
379
and using the keyboard to change the title. By default, focus is given
380
to the content area upon creation of a new note, so you can immediately

472
with the mouse and click the <guibutton>Link</guibutton> button to
473
create a new note with the title <quote>FinalExam</quote>. A link will
