Use of a Text Editor | Notenik Knowledge Base

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. Also, starting with Version 19.3.0, Notenik will prompt you to reload the note when you return to 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. Also, starting with Version 19.3.0, Notenik will prompt you to reload the collection when you return to Notenik.
