====== QOwnNotes ====== | ====== QOwnNotes ====== |
**QOwnNotes** (QON) is a program for organising and syncing 'notes' / text files. By default it uses [[language:markdown]], but you can use plain ol' TXT files too. It can convert them to [[form:PDF]] and [[language:html]] (but the markup is a bit ugmo). It has built-in support for syncing to [[owncloud]] and [[nextcloud]]. You can pretty easily extend it's functionality with scripting. Styling the HTML previews is a pain! | **QOwnNotes** (QON) is a program for organising and syncing 'notes' / text files.

I use it a lot!, and sync stuff between computers and my phone with [[syncthing]]. | I use it a lot!, and sync stuff between computers and my phone with [[syncthing]]. |

**2020 Update:** I feel like I would be better served by something else. I don't actually care about [[language:markdown]], so loo at the preview (except for tables). The main feature I like having is the list of all my notes on the left, and the easiness of searching and creating notes. Also the lack of support for [[form:todo.txt]] really bugs me. Still, I don't want to waste time searching for something new now. | **2020 Update:** I feel like I would be better served by something else.

| **2021 Update:** Still using it daily. I don't use [[todo.txt]], but do wish it handled not-markdown text files. |

| ==== Styling ==== |
| |
| You can insert [[html]] into [[markdown]]; so you could, for example, add a ''<style>'' element with whichever rules you want, and wrap anything you want to gussy-up in html, use classes, whatever. Note the preview panel [[https://doc.qt.io/qt-5/richtext-html-subset.html#css-properties|only supports a limited set]] of [[css]] (and HTML). |

| ==== Wiki ==== |
| |
| Noticed some new extensions to help with using QON as a personal wiki: |
| |
| * [[https://dohliam.github.io/qownnotes-scripting/scripts/wiki-links.html|Wiki Links]] - [[docuwiki]]-like syntax for linking to other notes. |
| * [[https://dohliam.github.io/qownnotes-scripting/scripts/backlinks.html|Backlinks]] - Show notes that link to current note. |
| * [[https://github.com/qownnotes/scripts/tree/master/in-note-text-tagging|In-note Text Tagging]] - QON already supports tags, but this lets you write them in the notes. I think I've changed my syntax to use ''@:[tag]'' instead of just ''@[tag]''. |
