Evernote 10.91.1 windows - Quote block bug


Recommended Posts

Again a new buggy and untested function. Quote blocks not working when exporting to pdf, or sharing, or exporting to html...

I don't think this is a bug, it's likely not fully implemented in areas outside of the note editor yet. It's a very new feature. Give them some time to implement the new functionality in more places.

Besides implementation, basically no explanation. I guess if you use other editors that have "quote blocks" you know. So basically just a section of text indented and with a bar down the left side, to highlight a quotation?

If one is producing formatted documents for presentation or publication, not something Evernote was ever strong on or meant to be strong on, I can see the value of it, and then it obviously ought to appear in PDFs. I use Evernote basically for notes to myself, and I rarely quote anything so earthshaking that it needs more than bold and/or italics to call attention to it. I give the feature a grade of "Meh" for my personal use, while hoping it gets better for others.

My feeling is, nice to have will I use it, probably not. Do I expect a brand new feature to be implemented everywhere, no. Would I say this is another bug, no. Probably just not implemented yet. I'm going to cut them a break on this one, and granted the code blocks had a bug but they fixed that right away, so I must say Bending Spoons has been getting better.

It matches the block quote in Markdown down to the “> “ short cut like “- “ and “# “.

I think, like many things in EN, people will find interesting and creative uses for it which were not necessarily intended. The code syntax highlighting is a case in point. Although people who use code blocks  for code lgenerally love it, people who used it as a plain text block are up in arms.

I find it useful but the “auto” guessing of type is not very good and I think it would make a lot of sense for it to just default to plain text and let us change if we want to.

No, it's not.
