Epsilon Notes - version 2.27 News

[Eugene]

According to some Internet buzz, Google+ might close one day. I invite everyone to join to a better platform at https://groups.google.com/forum/m/#!forum/epsilon-notes

You can post questions and pictures there. Most importantly, you can search through the forum easier than in Google+, and it has a more flexible subscription scheme.

Now, in the latest release 2.27(17):

# File Manager

* Files and folders starting with a dot are hidden (to show them, check the box in the Preferences).
* The first lines of text files are read into small boxes. Now it looks neater than before (see the File Manager in the picture. Activate it in the Preferences).
* The file size is shown next to the timestamp (Activate it in the Preferences).

# Yaml Export

Yaml export - to export text to html automatically after editing:

---
export: html
...

or

---
export: php
...

If you use this Yaml, the file will be automatically exported to Html after editing it. You can use this feature to sync your html content with internet.

# Experimental tags

Four additional tags: :en-date:, :en-time:, :en-path: and :en-file: have been added.

These are temporary tags. I need advice on how to do it better. A proposal was to use {DATE}, {TIME} etc., but I'm not sure if these are universal implemenrations, so custom tags are proposed for the time being until a use case is proposed, which is also used in other Commonnmark apps.

These tags can be used if you set up automatic export of your articles in html to Internet and need to add data about when your file was changed last time.

Example, as seen on the picture:

<small><center>

++**Last time the file was changed on :en-date: at :en-time:**++

</center></small>

Hi Eugene,

Can and will the contents of the old Google+ Forum be exported and archived? 

I started using Epsilon Notes after Google announces that Google+ will be shutdown, so never got round to join the old forum and have no idea what's in there.

If there are useful usage discussions for EN that are relevant  for future users, might want to archive them somewhere, so new users can refer to them.

I found that I could read the EN Google+ forum without signing up. There are indeed useful discussions that are valuable to new users and I'm still picking through them. 

Not sure how long it would stay that way. If Google is going to do away with the forum, then I think it's worth archiving them in some form for your future users.

Jack JN, Google anounced it will keep Google+ until August 2019.
I think I will copy some messages from there to EN's site, some Q&A section.
If there are are any questions, everyone is invited to post them to this forum.
The topics for discussion are any questions on:

Epsilon Notes, Markdown, Html, Css, Javascript, JQuery, MathJax, Regex ;-)
