Hey there, I have a question.
in my editor my imported notes have like spaces that don't take up space? like two words are run together so that search no longer works but if you cursor across it stops 2 times in this null zone - is it possible to globally replace these nulls or whatever they are? thanks.
it's probably a zero-width space or some similar unicode character.
try using this website to identify the specific character in question: What Unicode character is this ?
once you know what the character is, you may be able to use regex find/replace in the markdown editor's search bar to quickly replace them with normal spaces
How did you import these notes? Do you have an example we could use to replicate this?
Md Exporter from one note
How can I see each character? In my display? I don't see any characters
If you copy a section of text that contains these characters and use the site suggested by @bwat47 (above) it will tell you what each unicode character is, such as this zero-width space example.
You can now see in this example that there is an invisible unicode character in each word and you can also see what that unicode character is.
Normally the Joplin built-in importer is more reliable. With these broken notes you seem to have and all the duplicates, would it make sense to delete everything and re-import it again?
