Incidentally, for techies just coming to Markdown, also check out the Quiver app, which is a great programmer/scientist notebook, allowing you to write a document with cells that can be either Markdown, plain text, code, or a diagram format. I don’t know how long it will remain free, but don’t let the “beta” status scare you off I’ve rarely encountered a bug in well over a year of frequent usage. Typora also has solid MathJax support, so it can handle LaTeX-style math. I second the recommendation of Typora (I previously used MacDown and similar editors). If the above issuses have not been not worked on, I don’t feel like upgrading soon. I do still use DT2 every day, and I’m generally quite content with it, and I would be willing to pay for an upgrade.īut it looks like I get very little for much money: very restrictive (2 Computers to use it from, third one costs a fortune extra, now DT2 will then be unusable soon, as the licence will be revoked) and 75% of new price for an upgrade… My Question is: has any of this improved in DT3? Probably another “blame it to some third party library” type of thing. You could add x-devonthink:// links, but they are only clickable in preview not in edit … all together very clumsy. The wiki-Links do only work in edit and are gone in preview. No WYSIWYG, you have to switch between Preview or edit. But unfortunately, Markdown has alsways been treated as a third class resident in DT. And the “source code” ist human readable without any tool, if need be. But sorry, I pay my money for DT which claims it would work it RTF, I don’t see any point in fighting with apple over wether TextEdit is a cool RTF Editor or not.įor my own notes I prefert Markdown anyway, as ist more lightweight. You might say “file a report with Apple”. Opening a File with complicated layout – like one made by Nisus Writer (and I can only guess MS Word as well) – it will just throw away anything it does not understand without a warning.
And that is … well … like opening your file with TextEdit. TL DR is that Devon can’t do anything about it as it’s using Apples RTF Library. In 2016 I filed a bug report, about losing data whit RTF Files. I don’t share my personal notes anyway but it’s nonetheless important that the format is not app- or platform-specific. I prefer RTF (not RTFD) - editing is user-friendly and WYSIWYG and it’s fully supported by macOS.
