text markup - restructuredtext, markdown, orgmode

Beitrag von gautxori »

I wish MPE would recognize some lightweight markup language. *orgmode would rock*, but markdown or restructuredtext would be handy:
- to start with, I'd suggest that it would be implemented when displaying text in several 'notes' fields,
* on the mobile phone, in MPE Notes and MPE Tasks applications
* on the desktop application (description text for appointments, or notes)
Implementing the most common markups (*...*, _..._, ~...~, ...) should not be that difficult; easier than a previous request from me. It would be a matter of changing/upgrading some display or input box widgets.

- next step: it would rock if you could "redesign" the MPE organizer (calendar + notes + tasks + ...) so that all data could be managed from a text file, in some markup language. orgmode has features to create many different document structures, for either authoring (lists, tables, text markup, ...) to TODO management.
* you could start by enabling some option to dump all the data you log to files in a format consistent with these markup languages.
* PlantUML could help you "prettify" the display of some advanced features: mindmaps, gantt diagrams, mathematical expessions, ... At least it would provide some ideas on how to do it (together with graphviz).

[BTW, this bbb could also benefit from markup language... and this message would have been pretty-printed]
