You can have an Apple Notes folder backed by IMAP which lets you get at the notes as `multipart/related; type="text/html"` emails (including media). I use it on my servers for family-controlled email allow/deny lists.
(Definitely more faff to deal with than something like Obsidian or Joplin's Markdown notes though.)
- beagle3 1y agoSince when? Last time I tried in iOS 16, notes backed by imap were plaintext only.
- zimpenfish 1y agoCan't give a definitive answer but my allow/deny list parser has always used `MIME::QuotedPrint` through `html2text` to convert them from MIME'd HTML into plain text and that was last updated September 2021. I've also got a test note from late 2020 which is also `text/html; quoted-printable` which suggests at least iOS 14 (I don't think the 15 alphas would have been out by then.)
