You can get a lot of the export features (pdf, html, ePub, LaTeX, docX) with markdown if you just use pandoc [1]. Pandoc’s description from their website is, “If you need to convert files from one markup format into another, pandoc is your swiss-army knife... Pandoc is free software, released under the GPL.” It truly is an amazing program to me. I use it all the time for my school assignments. It’s a command line tool and for the most part you can write ‘pandoc -s <input-file-name> -o <output-file-name>‘ and it will guess how to convert it based on extension. I do my markdown editing with visual studio code, because it has a previewer that also supports LaTeX math mode in the markdown (vs code does the LaTeX math mode through KaTeX.) Pandoc also supports latex math mode in markdown so I can export math related assignments to pdf and such quickly.

- skierscott 9y agoWhere does Apple Notes store it’s files? What format are they in?
- fny 9y agoThey're stored in an sqlite file at ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Notes/NotesV7.storedata (version number might be different.) The data stored all over the place in the DB. For example, you can extract HTML body of a note with the following query: "select ZHTMLSTRING from ZNOTEBODY".
- kitsunesoba 9y agoYep. They probably use Core Data (which is a layer on top of SQLite) internally instead of straight SQLite, but either way it ends up on disk as an SQLite file. A lot of standard Apple apps do this.
- Numberwang 9y agoPandoc is crap software. All the bugs makes it unusable for anything complicated.
- paultopia 9y agoWhat bugs? I've been using pandoc for years (admittedly mostly for markdown --> pdf/html/docx, sometimes with bibtex and interesting latex tweaks) and never run into a bug.
- Numberwang 9y agoput a table in your documents, see what happens.
- jessaustin 9y ago...unusable for anything complicated. I thought we were talking about taking notes and then displaying them? How could that be complicated?
- auxbuss 9y agoDisproof: The recent release of Scrivener use Pandoc for their 847-page manual[0]. It's a complicated something. [0] https://www.literatureandlatte.com/learn-and-support/user-guides https://www.literatureandlatte.com/learn-and-support/user-gu...
