1. Knowledge Base Overview
This Knowledge Base provides detailed user instruction and reference for all Notenik functionality.

You will find that this Knowledge Base is all text, without any screen shots. If you’d like to see what things look like as they are described, I would urge you to download Notenik from the Mac App Store, and follow along within the app itself.
The Knowledge Base is organized into a number of distinct sections.
If you’re new to Notenik, it’s best to start with the Application Overview for a general orientation.
Once you’ve downloaded Notenik and are ready to start using it, it’s worth reviewing the Intro to the User Interface.
Then you’ll probably be ready to learn about Creating and Tailoring a Collection of Notes.
Once you’ve created a Collection for yourself, you’ll be ready to perform some Common Tasks.
The body of each Note is formatted using Markdown, and the Notenik Markdown parser has lots of custom extensions, so you’ll want to understand how this works.
If you’re interested in understanding how Notenik stores its notes on disk, then you’ll want to read the section on Files and Folders.
Much of the power and flexibility of Notenik comes from its Field Labels and Types, so you’ll want to acquaint yourself with these possibilities as you advance.
There are many different options when it comes to Getting Data Into and Out of Notenik, so be sure to review this section if you want to easily import, export, share and/or publish your Notes.
Notenik also has multiple schemes for Integration with other applications.
For the ultimate flexibility in formatting and exporting your Notes, you will want to take advantage of Merge Templates.
And then, for repeated complex operations including filtering and sorting, you will want to make use of Script Files.
The Putting It All Together section has a series of articles describing how you can combine various Notenik functions for specific usage scenarios.
The Reference section contains a variety of information pages that you might find useful from time to time.
And finally, at the very end, you’ll find a complete Version History of the application, with the latest changes coming first.
