ciao Reakforblue "... if I can ever become comfortable with CSS and TW as a whole" CSS is as flexible in TW as it is anywhere. But we have been poor at making it easy to innovate with it. It is still cumbersome. Just MO TT On Thursday, 1 August 2019 12:04:33 UTC+2, Reaktorblue wrote: > >

The OneNote that's currently in circulation is being webified, if you can call it that. Just like most other Microsoft products. I don't know if it would be possible to get those records into TW but if I can ever become comfortable with CSS and TW as a whole, I'd probably abandon the whole

OneNote is now bundled with Windows 10 and that's pretty much the version you get. I'm an Office 365 Insiders subscriber and OneNote is no longer part of that package. One of the biggest issues I take with OneNote is that the UI is not configurable at least not at this current point in time.

Agree In OneNote's favour, over the years, its got better at not being quite so proprietary. In its early versions it was heavily linked into other Microsoft products. It is mature software now and does a bunch of things needed in a more open way. I think the "bottom-line" in TW is maybe "WE

There is no WYSWIG editing. The toolbar is nice, but not the same. It makes things a lot easier when you don't have to toggle back and forth. You can embed images, but at the cost of slowing your TW down. With the extension, it inserts HTML code which is noisy and pretty much impossible to

For me personally, I use OneNote a lot. In fact, I use OneNote much more than TiddlyWiki. The two biggest reasons being that changes to the browser don't break functionality and that it's ready to go out of the box with no need for configuration. TiddlyWiki on the other hand is so much more
