christiaan,
thanks for your reply.
after looking at the wiki, downloading a template and messing around a bit, i
came up with a template that seems like it should do the trick, but there is
one hitch.
whereas, i can get the filename, without a path or extension by using:
<$fileName.lastPathComponent.stringByDeletingPathExtension/>
this does not work when it is in the template like this:
-----
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
# <$fileName.lastPathComponent.stringByDeletingPathExtension/>, p.
<$pageIndex.numberByAddingOne/> #
<$string?>
<$string/>
</$string?>
<$text?>
<$text/>
</$text?>
</[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
----
what have i done wrong?
the o/p i am looking for is:
-----
# <filename>, p. <pagenumber> #
text text text
-----
for each note.
so far, my test template, gives me everything i want except the filename.
thanks very much for your help.
kind regards,
david

Skim uses a template file for export of notes as text. You can
customize the template file that is used for the export. The Skim Wiki
has a full description of how to do this, look in the Tips & Tricks
section.
Be aware however that part of that description will change a little
bit for the next release, which should come out somewhere this week (I
hope).
