[SUPPORT] Newbie's questions

[pbek]

Thank you for your kind words!

In this issue you mentioned enabling "breaks: true" to see the effects of "two spaces and a new line" to show a markup white line.
#1062 (comment)

Markdown-it isn't used for HTML generation for quite a while anymore.

But the two spaces do work...
Can you please describe what you expected, what the actual behavior was, and step by step what you did?

And can you please post the output from the debug settings that you can copy when you get into the settings dialog in QOwnNotes and head over to the Debug section of it?

The second question is just an advise about what is/are the suggested external viewer/viewers under MS Windows.

Viewer in what way? Editing Markdown files? VScode would do...

BTW Is there an hotkey to toggle between edit panel and preview panel ? I'm now working with the two panels open, but I would be nice to have also only the preview panel when reading files. That's why I'm asking for a suggested external viewer...

Usually you would create a workspace with the preview and one without it. And then use the shortcut to switch to the previous workspace. 😉

Thanks @pbek for your prompt reply !

It worked beautifully, I created three workspaces: Edit, Dual Panel and Preview and it's perfect now.

But the two spaces do work... Can you please describe what you expected, what the actual behavior was, and step by step what you did?

I'm under Win10 and the two spaces seem not to work on my setup.
Here two screenshots of my latest test: in the first one I added
after the title section, in the second one there's a sequence of Shift+Enter followed by Enter, but nothing changes on the preview pane.

And can you please post the output from the debug settings that you can copy when you get into the settings dialog in QOwnNotes and head over to the Debug section of it?

Sure, please find them in the attached text file.

With the Workplaces toggling solution I solved, but is there a Markdown viewer only app to your knowledge ? Like a light pdf viewer, maybe a portable app, so you can visualize markdown documents "on the fly" or share your documents with others easily ?

Thanks again, talk to you soon,
V.

It appears you want to create several blank lines between the content.

I typically use <br/>. And that appears to be working in your example.

A discussion:

Create two blank lines in Markdown

The Preview itself gives one a good idea what it will look like. If others have a Markdown editor, they probably have a preview, so you could just send them the Markdown file. If others don't ... PDF. From the menu: Note - Export - Export note as PDF (preview).

Can you please post an example Markdown text, that you used? I can make them out in your screenshot.
Have you turned off highlighting of trailing spaces?

Otherwise, try this (first line has two spaces at the end!):

Line1  
Line2

I'm not using Windows that often. 😊
QOwnNotes also shows a preview on the fly, you can export them as PDF or HTML and you can share them directly via your Nextcloud instance.
