6.1 Note Files  ↑

6.1.9 Use of a Text Editor

All of your Notenik files are plain text files that can be opened, viewed and edited with a text editor. BBEdit is one such product, and a basic version is available for free.

Notenik has a couple of menu commands that make it easy to open a file in your preferred text editor.

Use the Note > Text Edit Note command to open the currently displayed note in your default text editor. When you’re done with your external edits, and have saved the file, use the Note > Reload Note command to see the results of your external edits within Notenik.

Use the Collection > Text Edit Collection’s Template file command to open the Collection template file in your preferred text editor. When you are done with your external edits, use the Collection > Reload Collection command to see the results of any changes made.
