Re: [Zim-wiki] Creating new pages from a template
Thanks Jaap, Dev pace is what it is - your speed of support/response is very helpful. Another way to handle this case might be a Copy Subtree / Paste Subtree on tree node context menu (which is how I do this in KeyNoteNF). I can do a scripted solution, but won't go there while I'm mainly on Windows!

A .bat file should work fine I think :) Adding a copy option that allows also copying child pages sound like a good idea as well.

To change my system text editor to Geany, I simply deleted the file defaults.list in my home directory Path: ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list The next time I select ToolEdit Source, Zim gives me the choice to set a default text editor. Does it work for you? I did not have the file ~/.local/share/applications/defaults.list .

[Zim-wiki] Subscript / superscript
Hello all! I really enjoy using Zim for writing my notes. As I am doing a lot of Chemistry related things I would like to use superscript/subscript. Is it possible to perform this in Zim and if it is, how? regards Andrej ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki Post to : zim-wiki@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zim-wiki More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
Re: [Zim-wiki] Subscript / superscript
Andrej,
(Jaap - correct me if I'm wrong on this...)
If you use the _{} or ^{} methods, you might need to do a CTRL-R
(reload) to see the sub/super/scripts. I have reload wiki markup on
the fly checked as true under preferences, but this is one of the few
markups where it seems that I have to reload manually regardless.
As always, Jaap - much appreciation for a great app.
- Kurt

Sure, they are in the Format menu or you can type them as _{..}
and ^{...}. Probably you will want to assign key bindings for the
menu item if you use them a lot - see the manual for details.

Yes, reload will work for sure. If it doesn;t work on the fly, you can
put in a bug report for that - must have overloked it when adding the
patterns.
