/list A bullet list item
/numbered A numbered list item
/todo A task item
/checkbox A standalone checkbox
/quote A blockquote prefix
/hr A horizontal rule
/table A starter table
Command Inserts

/datetime Date and time
/link A link template
/image An image template
/code A fenced code block

Commands that insert a template park the cursor where you will actually type. /link leaves it in the link text, not after the closing bracket.
