10/22/2023 0 Comments Ia writer code syntax highlightingBear has an excellent web clipper and support cut and pasting html (including images) and converts it automagically into markdown.Bear seemed to be the sweet spot for me, they have a beautiful mobile client, wiki link support (but no Piping), PDF export (but no page numbers), multi-level tags (which are shown as a folder structure with a document appearing in more than one folder at the same time, if you tagged them appropriately) and multi-word tags.Obsidian also support front-matter yaml but won’t recognize tags inside them.I miss exporting, multi-level tags (again I wouldn’t need a static folder structure anymore), image captions, multi-word tags, and a good mobile client.I love heading folding (but would prefer if obsidian would remember the current state when switching to another note). Showing me linked and unlinked mentions are nice, but I think roams solution showing them below the current note is better. Dependency Graphs are nice but not as important to me.I love that obsidian automagically updates links when I rename or move a file.With this, you can write fully understandable sentences and have important aspects linked. I like the implementation of wiki links and I love the possibility to give the link another name the linked file has.Using Front-Matter YAML is nice for hiding classification information from getting into the final document - for example, you could put the tags into this section or the source or additional references or internal notes.I hate that iA Writer doesn’t support multi-word tags and dashes in a tag.I’m missing multi-level tags (which could replace folders completely for me) and hate the location of the find bar.Therefore I don’t use linking between notes in iA at all. Third, if you rename or move the linked file the link will not be updated automatically. Secondly, iA Writer will always open a new window instead shown the note in the current window. If you are using the URL Command, iA Writer will always open, even if you use the note with another application. The biggest complaint I have with iA Writer is the lack of an application-independent linking method between notes.In Bear for example you can start on your computer and continue writing on your tablet because the sync is done while switching devices. iCloud Sync is not as robust as in other apps, sometimes sync take much longer than expected.They have a nice looking and excellent working iOS Client for both mobile and tablet.You can use captions for images ( !(image.jpg) - which will be nicely rendered italic and centered below the image, you can create a TOC on the fly, and pages are numbered. I also love iA Writer for their beautiful PDFs.Even sub- and superscript are easy to use (not that I’m using them very often) iA Writer also has good Math and Table Support as well as excellent working footnotes (with various ways to implement them), link references, and definition lists.You just put each chapter in an own file and link them together in a master file. That really helps to structure large documents. I love iA Writer for its robust markdown implementation which supports really nice simplifications like dropping a csv file into a markdown to create a table when rendering it into a pdf - something no other application can do (as far as I know), the same goes for source code or text files. Not sure what the final solution will be. I’m constantly meandering between different tools because none of them could really fulfill my needs on its own.
