Re: [Zim-wiki] seeing unformatted pages

[Colin Tedford]

I don't think there's a way to view the "raw" version in Zim, but "Edit
Source" in the Tools menu will open the current page in an external text
editor so you don't have to copy and paste.

Some prior art for linking to arbitrary text (on websites, which I would

I think Sebastian wants to link to headings (as one can do, for example, at
WIkipedia), not any word. As far as I know this isn't possible, but I hope
I'm wrong because it would be useful.

Re: [Zim-wiki] 3 Suggestions

[Colin Tedford]

I support all of these ideas, but especially maximum content width -- I
wish more apps had this (and margins).

I would find a colored index tree useful, too. I used to use Wikidpad which
let me set icons in the index tree, and I missed that when I moved to Zim.

(Of course, any of these could be plugins. If I ever finally learn Python I
will try to write a maximum content width plugin for Zim [and Geany] if
it's not already done :) )

Re: [Zim-wiki] Formatting

[Colin Tedford]

I would love a way to just limit the width of the body without having to
fiddle with window size or go fullscreen (maybe a template/style thing I
could change). I'll live without it (as I do in other programs, sigh), but
figured I'd mention while the topic was open.

Summary + table of contents like Wikipedia does? Link to long texts from
elevator pitch pages?

I'm not sure what effect you mean, but if you mean a show/hide thing where
you click on a bit of text and it expands to show more text you could use
the "details"/"summary" html elements. To my sad surprise Firefox doesn't
support them yet, but there is a javascript shim. I use this for
transcripts of comics on my site and find it very useful.

That said, I favor keeping it Zim-simple.

If you're not using (for example) mark (aka highlight, Ctrl+U) for anything
else on the site, you could set its exported HTML style to be italic
instead of highlighted and use that.

Ah, OK, just apply any other format then. I would use verbatim, but bold or

Out of curiosity, why don't you want them linked? Are they examples that

Re: [Zim-wiki] (no subject)

[Colin Tedford]

The only way I know is to not set links in italic. The slashes disappear
because Zim uses "//" to mark the beginning and end of italics (see what
happens when you type "//http://";). Also, Zim only supports simple
formatting; even if the slashes didn't disappear, applying italic
formatting to a link would unlink it (as making a link bold does now).

Re: [Zim-wiki] Is there a way of changing the tag symbol?

[Colin Tedford]

Now I'm super curious why it links the way it does!

Having a colon ("one:two") triggers autolink because it indicates Zim
page hierarchy; having at least some other symbols too prevents it
("one:two#" or "one/two:three"). This doesn't explain why a bunch of
those symbol-laden lines are linked, or why the colon-free line
starting with "d_|_g" is linked. I don't have any practical need to
know why but I sure hope someone can explain it anyway!

But yeah, verbatim should do it for you.

Paul,

You're not alone in wanting that but so far no one has coded it up. Ugur
Murat wants it and has done coding in related areas so I've been hoping
they might do it someday. If I ever actually learn Python then I'll do it
if no one else has (don't hold your breath, though ;)

It seems like common practice on the web is to use CSS to add some space

Yeah, it indexes everything out of the box. I'm just restricting it to

> Not sure, which search you are referring to. The main search or the

The main search. Currently if I search for @Murat it will show me a list of
pages that contain that tag:

> 1 - Journal:2014:07:16

What I'd like (at least optionally) to see in addition is the line
containing the tag, like you might see in a web search:

> 1 - Journal:2014:07:16
>> 2014-07-16@03:45 // #checkout @Murat's current implementation of the
auto completion plugin for #ZimWiki (latest post, attachment
autocompletion.py): https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/1322201

I'm mainly using tags to make it easier to find things in my journal /
personal log, which consists of many small entries. Each entry is a single
line of up to paragraph length. Currently I enter them in files outside of
Zim and periodically import them (I'm still working out my system); in Zim
I put the entries for each day on that day's Calendar/Journal page. When I
search for a tag I would like to see a collection of these little entries
instead of having to click through to a bunch of journal pages and find
them within the pages. I would also find this sort of preview useful for
the occasional tags I use on "normal" Zim pages.

Out of curiosity I (re-)installed the Task List plugin (I tried it out a
while back, before my current log/journal experiments) and it basically
does what I want! A non-Todo-oriented plugin could reuse Task List code if
someone wanted to do that, but for now I can just "misuse" Task List by
putting checkboxes on my entries and telling Task List to index "1 -
Journal". Thanks for pointing me in that direction!

Every time I think I've bumped against a limit of Zim, I end up even more
impressed with it -- what a great program!

Re: [Zim-wiki] Autocompletion plugin

Ooh, I haven't had a chance to try it yet but that sounds exciting!

In that thread you mentioned Workflowy having both @ and # tags, which is
something I'd love to have in Zim. It seems like it should be easy to do as
a little plugin, but I'm not a programmer* so maybe not.

I'd also love to see previews in tag searches (for example of the line the
tag is on), but that sounds harder. I don't know how other people place
their tags, but I often put them near the content they apply to (as opposed
to all together at page bottom or top).

*(though if anyone wants to point me to some novice resources, I'd like to
try to learn at least enough to cobble something together when things like
this come up)
