I'm a game developer, and I enjoy using Open Office Writer for note taking. The
better I get at taking notes efficiently, the more formatting I use. In my
current set of notes, I've been using formats for key words, such as days of
the week. (Monday, Thursday, etc). I've made those bold and pink, and stats
changes (+5 HP) are bold and orange.
One of the things I thought of that would really help me out is the ability to
designate, document specific preferably, certain words (such as Monday) or
phrases (such as '+n HP') to automatically have their formats updated to a
format of my choosing as I type, so I don't have to break the flow to update
them, and if I decide something should be a keyword, later, like 'Money', I can
fix them more easily.
I'm aware there are certain workarounds that make this possible, but those
aren't limited to just one document, and it's a little more complicated to set
up than I'm comfortable with. I'd enjoy seeing a dedicated option for such a
feature.
I don't need anything more fancy than font (size, bold, italic) and text color,
but justification might also be a nice one for phrases like 'Chapter n'.
It's not the most ground breaking thing, but just an idea I had.
Thanks for taking the time to read this.
