Type the displayed passage in order. Backspace corrects the last character. Paste is disabled. Escape pauses. Control or Command plus Enter restarts. Leaving the input pauses the timer.
How to practise markdown typing
Read punctuation as part of the target. Hashes, asterisks and backticks are meaningful characters in the examples, while bracketed text and a parenthesised path form a link-shaped string. No link in the typing surface is opened. Whitespace normalisation means the lesson does not assess list indentation or line-based rendering.
What to check after a run
Check pairs of markers and the path after a label. Do not omit markup simply because the words would remain readable without it.

1. Find the pattern
# Sample notes **Draft title** *Review pending* `card-014` [Practice library](/practice)
2. Connect the movement
## Paper map review **Keep:** the short title. **Check:** the wider caption. `version: 2` [Original sample](/practice/markdown-typing)
3. Apply it in context
### Comparison notes The **blue draft** has a short introduction; the *grey draft* has a wider index. Copy the reference `MAP-028` before reviewing [the sample page](/practice). These markers are inert transcription targets, not an active document editor.
