Hello,
When using paste text as list, it will import the same way as when importing a .txt file. This means each new line in the text file creates a new topic. If a line starts with a tab, this creates a child topic.
DynaList doesnât have Tab as an option when exporting, so I canât export an outline. Can this be added please? This ought to be trivial.
SimpleMind is by far not the only app that likes Tab characters to represent indenting.
So true
what even are you showing? a mac app? I want to get this done on ipad. I donât think there is a trivial answer.
I doubt itâs trivial since Dynalist uses markdown. Most plaintext markup languages disappear Tab.
But I think SimpleMind imports opml. You could try that.
Yes import OPML works, to create a new outline. Not nearly as smooth as copy and paste, in fact it takes a 30s task and makes it a 5 min task because I need to go through dropbox and do a whole bunch of work to get opml in place as needed.
Thatâs not great. Itâs never more than 30 seconds for me, and some programs accept opml being pasted in.
But not all opml imports are equal.
Thatâs the stock text editor on Mac, yeah. The Windows one works the same. Find > Replace.
I donât have an iPad with me, but Iâm sure most âtext editorâ apps have the feature. Find and Replace is as basic as it comes. But, maybe not, I notice iOS isnât a great OS for actual work.
Try this:
