# Creating discourse nodes The extension makes it easy to factor parts of your notes into formal of a discourse graph (claims, evidence, etc.). Simply select the text you want to turn into a formal discourse graph node (e.g., QUE, CLM, EVD), then press hotkey (default is `\`, but you can edit this in the extension config page) to open up the refactor menu, and press appropriate shortcut key (e.g., E for evidence); system will create new page with the text as title and appropriate metadata and boilerplate sections.
