Hello,
I'm brand new to Joplin.
I'm coming from Evernote where I used to add checkboxes on my medium titles (H2).
It seems this is not possible with Joplin?
I saw that the notes could be tasks, in fact it's cool, the Evernote import created tasks for my notes which had a reminder
But what I want is not a checkbox next to the main title of the note, but the possibility of putting checkboxes in the titles of the content of a note (on H2 titles mainly).
Example in Evernote:
and in Joplin:
Moreover, even in normal text, it seems that checkboxes can be added as a list element only.
I handle tasks differently. I don't do them inside Evernote or Joplin. I use the Microsoft task manager. I find it to be very good, and it has tasks and subtasks and levels of tasks and priorities.
I suppose you could create a new notebook for each project and then a new note as type to-do for each item that needs to be accomplished, and that will solve the problem to a degree.
Using notes by sections of H2 titles as I use them would be too big a change.
I wouldn't have imagined doing this but since I moved from Evernote to Joplin, I've been trying to adapt my ways of doing things. Now it doesn't seem so complicated to me.
I'm also trying to get started with markdown, it also seemed unthinkable to me just the day before yesterday
If you are on a Windows machine, a workaround that works quickly could be:
Type ## for your h2 title (or "Control+Shift+2" on WYSIWYG)
Now press "win + ; "
Start typing "check"
Press "enter"
Also, you may want to have a look at the Admonition Markdown plugin to see if that would work for you. It basically adds some bold warning messages to your rendered page only but if you also download this amazing plugin called Joplin Enhancement, you can also see those messages in the MD view too (screenshot attached). If you do install Enhancement, make sure you uncheck all the features you may not want, as it does tons of other stuff too. One of the things I really like is that it also hides the links of MD.
For whatever reason you want this, the markdown syntax that works in my desktop Joplin installation (Linux, 2.14.20) is:
"- ## SomeText"
(That is: HyphenSpace##Space[Space]SpaceSomeText)
Concerning 1, that is the expected behavior of the markdown editor.
2. Indeed, that is the case in the TOC for me too.
3. I noticed that too, however, adding x in the markdown field propagates correctly into the viewer pane.
4. Not the case for me. In the markdown editor, if I modify the title text, the checkbox does not get unchecked in the viewer.
I suspect 2 and 3 are simply not covered by code logic as it is a rather exotic edge case. 4 is likely some OS idiosyncrasy.
