My pluses had been converted to space characters. So earlier, I made a test note that looked like this (click to embiggen):Īnd then I waited, and after about a minute, the note had mysteriously changed to look like this: However, you can also create list items using asterisks.

So far this is a problem limited to the plus characters that are used to initiate list items. What has been driving me crazy since switching to using Dropbox for my syncing is that my Markdown keeps disappearing. In Markdown you can write a bullet point list like this: + item 1: link to ()Īnd with the appropriate Markdown-to-HTML tool - often an included feature in many of the text editors that work with Markdown - this text will render as: In a nutshell, this is a plaintext format which can be easily converted into HTML, but is often very convenient even if you don't mean to convert to HTML. One final point to make is that I often write many of my notes in the excellent Markdown format. An important point to note - no pun intended - is that you can still sync notes via Simplenote in addition to syncing via Dropbox. This means that you can store all of your notes in Dropbox which in turn means that they can then be accessed by even more apps (especially on the iOS platform, Notesy and Byword being my two favorites at the moment). Rather than storing the notes in a single database file, I used the option in nvALT to instead store each note as a separate text file.
Recently, I made a change to how I worked with my notes. This makes it easy to have your notes accessible from the web, or from a wide range of iOS, Android, and desktop clients. Making this tool even more useful is the fact that nvALT can sync all of the notes with the Simplenote service. I write a lot of short text notes, and for many years I have been storing these notes in the fantastically useful nvALT application on my Mac (this is a fork of the almost-as-useful Notational Velocity application).
