Level 5* DTLow 5,735 Posted May 10, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted May 10, 2021 Evernote currently provides an integrated note editor There are no choices; the editor is wysiwyg, and the note format is enml/html Personally, I'm comfortable accessing and editing markup code (Mac Legacy platform) but I don't want to see the code in general use I"m an html fan; I find markdown syntax too limited Link to comment

Level 5* Metrodon 2,184 Posted May 12, 2021 Level 5* Share Posted May 12, 2021 I think most "normal" people don't have a clue what markdown is and so building a fairly complex feature that will be used by a very small percentage of the user base probably isn't the best way to spend cash. 2 Link to comment
buckethead 216 Posted May 12, 2021 Share Posted May 12, 2021 I tried Bear out on iOS and Mac a year or so ago and could not stand using markdown for formatting. I did not like seeing the syntax within my notes and much prefer the wysiwyg Evernote Editor. I think @Metrodonhas it correct in that more folks have no clue what markdown is (I did not till trying Bear out) and would find it a cluttering mess in their notes. The few markdown'ish style shortcuts that EN has implemented (#, ##, ### for headings is what I am thinking of) are great - though I do not think more are needed. 1 Link to comment

I often have to use a wiki software which, like Evernote, does not allow you to see the code that is actually being created. However, this wiki software also has other weaknesses, chief among which is the way it changes pasted text (changing spaces or dashes to visually similar Unicode characters). You can imagine how annoying that is if you're trying to share a couple of shell commands. Fortunately Evernote is much better here. I've never seen it modify anything in pasted text. Link to comment
