9.1 Note Files ↑

9.1.9 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 Text Edit Note command under the Note menu 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 Reload Note command to see the results of your external edits within Notenik.

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