Ideas for Using Sublime Text for Notes

#1

I’ve been using Sublime Text 3 to takes notes for several months now.
I keep a folder stored in Dropbox, which gets synchronized across all my systems.
In the “Notes” folder, I have created multiple folders - titled by category, for example:

projects
tasks
work

And in each of these folders, I store notes, titled by the specific type of content.
The notes are all written in markdown with YAML headers.

To search for content, I just use “Find in Files.” My intent was that it would be ‘wiki-ish’, so I could link between documents and view in a web browser, but that really doesn’t work.
Any suggestions how to adjust or improve this technique?

Have you had a look at http://www.marked2app.com of Brett Terpstra?

You can even link files with amongst others the special directive <<[file/path] to show in one view only.

I edit this documents on Windows, OSX, and Linux - it looks like marked2app is OSX only :frowning:

Have you tried something like pandoc? Granted you would have to do some setup as pandoc will effectively build the pages for you. I’m not sure how it would work out for you though. You could, I suppose, write something that reads the headers, and creates a table of contents of sorts for you. Then you could build with that. This SO answer may be relevant (stackoverflow.com/questions/4779 … iple-files). In the examples for pandoc I saw gitit. Don’t know if that might work better.

You may also want to take a look at mdwiki (which is likely what you want :smile:).

I love you. I had started trying to build something like mdwiki awhile back, but between work and everything else, never finished it up. EXACTLY what I wanted. Thank you so much.
