[Zim-wiki] automatic styling nightmare

2012-06-18 Thread nomnex
I don't want to be rude, but bullet list and numbered list
auto-formatting in Zim, completely screw my notes for some times. I hate
these kind of automatic kitchen list styling in a word
processor, unless I can disable them, and define my own custom list
styles.

How can I disable both of them? Eventually could these styling be made
optional (e.g. in the preferences).

I need to write procedure notes with number and bullets

1. do this

* include object 1.a
* include object 1.b

* include object 2.a
* include object 2.b

2. then do that

3. if it fail, then to that

There are empty lines between the numbered items  there are bullet
items in between. Manual formatting is fine. When I force the bullet
list and number list feature of Zim the page is all mixed up on refresh.

I don't want to use verbatim text.

Thank you,
nomnex

If I try this I do not see an issue. The parser will not understand it
as a single list, but the numbers are preserved as typed.

Can you open a bug report and attach an example page ? That way I can
see what exactly goes wrong and investigate.

Jaap

Oh, I got it, I have to remove the formatting of the text first (Ctrl
+9). Then I can use manual formatting. I was editing the text in the
numbered list directly, with interesting result...

I guess I am fine now.

[Zim-wiki] Symbol insertion more conveniently?

2012-06-18 Thread Yu
Hello!

The symbol auto-insertion feature seems to depend on having a
whitespace before (and after) the text-to-be-replaced. Is there a way
to circumvent this?

E.g. I can write the formula
  〈 α | H | ψ 〉
by typing
  \lang \alpha | H | \psi \rang

However, if I want to write it as
  〈α| H |ψ〉
then I have to add a good deal of cursor movement.

Is there some way to avoid this?

If not, would it be possible to implement an option to make `\' start
sort of an insertion mode? I was thinking along the lines of Lyx in
Math mode:
- \ starts the insertion of a special character, in LyX even including
completion.
- The next space-press doesn't insert a whitespace but causes
insertion of the symbol.
- A literal \ is still available by typing \\.

For Zim, a literal space would implicitly still be available by
pressing space twice.


king regards, Yu
