Jaap, I just discovered two issues that have led to major dataloss for me:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/585300
https://bugs.launchpad.net/zim/+bug/585301
Is there any way of getting these into the release? I'm serious, this
is a Zim dealbreaker for me. I love Zim, but this just cost me
literally years of notes that I am going to have to piece together
from encrypted backups of Zim and Knowit (what I used before Zim).
I'm sorry but both issues are design limitation of using wiki syntax.
Any characters that are meaningful in the wiki formatting need to be
escaped in order to use them verbatim. This is what the verbatim
style is for. So code snippets like the shell commands in this case
need to be inserted as verbatim text in zim.
One way to fix this for you is to create a small script that goes over
the notebook pages and wraps any lines that start with $ in a
verbatim block like this:
'''
$ shell scrip example here
'''
This will cause zim to show this code verbatim and restore your
content as intended.
Regards,
Jaap
Thanks, Jaap. One of the advantages of Zim is to collect snippets
for use latter. If I cannot simply Alt-Tb into Zim, middle-click to
paste the snippet, and then Atl-Tab out without worrying that my data
will be mangled, then I cannot use it.
Why not make the auto-parsing of wikicode optional?
