VNote is open source, and available on Github. There are documents in several languages. • English • Simplified Chinese() • Japanese() The main documentation for the site is organized into a couple of sections: • User Documentation • Advanced Documentation • Developer Documentation • About VNote User Documentation 1 VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 2 User Documentation CHAPTER 1 Why VNote 1.1 What is VNote VNote is a Vim-inspired Note-taking application, designed specially for Markdown. It is not yet just another Mark- down editor. VNote is designed to be a powerful Markdown editor with sweet note management, or a note-taking application with pleasant Markdown experience. VNote is free, and open source. You could get VNote for Linux, Windows, and macOS. 1.2 Why Another Markdown Wheel 1.2.1 Insights About Markdown Markdown, as a simple mark language, unlike rich text, was born with a gap between edit and read. There are about three ways to handle this gap: 1. As one extreme, some editors just treat Markdown as plain text. Users may lose themselves in the messy black characters. It is hard to keep track of the information of the note. 2. Most Markdown editors use two side-by-side panels to edit and preview Markdown notes simultaneously. It makes things easier since users could see a pleasant typesetting and layout while editing the text. However, two panels may occupy the whole screen and users keep moving eyes left and right, which will be a big distraction. 3. As another extreme, some editors convert the Markdown elements in place immediately after the typing, which makes editing Markdown just like editing rich text document in Word with some shortcuts. This may conflict with what Markdown is intended to be. Since most editors choose the second way to handle the gap, people always think of preview when it comes to Mark- down. It may be a MISUNDERSTANDING about Markdown. Designed as a simple mark language, Markdown is intended to help to keep track of the information of the text when editing and provide a beautiful typesetting when reading after being converted to HTML. 3 VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 1.2.2 Tradeoff: VNote’s Way VNote tries to minimize the gap and provide the best-effort WYSIWYG for Markdown via tuned syntax highlights and some other features. By helping to keep track of the content, there is no need to preview or alter the text immediately after being typed. 4 Chapter 1. Why VNote CHAPTER 2 Getting Started VNote is distributed on Linux, Windows, and macOS. You could always download standalone packages from the Downloads page. It is recommended to download and use the stable releases of VNote. If you prefer to use some latest features of VNote, you could try the latest continuous build from master branch. Besides the standalone packages, some package managers may already package and distribute VNote, such as AUR, and homebrew cask. 2.1 Main Interface Here is a snapshot of VNote’s main interface. 5 VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 2.1.1 Menubar and Toolbar VNote provides some settings via Menubar at the top of the window and provides some handy shortcuts via Toolbar right below the menubar. Place mouse over the menu item or button, there is a tooltip or status tip to help illustrating the function of that item or button. 2.1.2 Notebooks, Folders, and Notes VNote uses Notebooks, Folders, and Notes hierarchy for note management. The left-side panel is used to navigate through your notebooks, folders, and notes. At the first time you launch VNote, you will be prompted to create your first notebook. A notebook corresponds to a directory in your file system. You should choose an empty directory as your Notebook Root Folder. All the contents of this notebook will be stored whthin the Notebook Root Folder. Once you have a notebook, you could create folders in this notebook. VNote supports infinite levels of folders. The bottom panel at the left side will list all the notes of current folder. You could create a new note via the context menu. 2.1.3 Content Area The middle area which occupies most of the space is the Content Area, which is used to read and edit notes. VNote supports opening multiple notes by tabs. 6 Chapter 2. Getting Started VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 2.1.4 Tools Dock Widget At the right-side panel, there are multiple tools to facilitate your reading and editing, such as Outline and Snippets. 2.2 Ready To Go That is it! Now you could read, edit, and mange your notes in VNote! 2.2. Ready To Go 7 VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 8 Chapter 2. Getting Started CHAPTER 3 Build VNote You need Qt 5.9 to build VNote from source. 3.1 Get the Source Code of VNote VNote’s source code is available on Github. You could download the ZIP archive of the code. Please be aware of that VNote depends on some submodules, so you should also download the source codes of these modules. The recommended way is using git like this: git clone https://github.com/tamlok/vnote.git vnote.git cd vnote.git git submodule update--init 3.2 Get Qt 5.9 You could get the standalone Qt SDK from Qt Downloads. For users in China, you could speed up the download via the TUNA Mirrors. 3.3 Windows On Windows, you need Visual Studio 2015 or above to compile VNote. Open Qt Creator and open vnote.git\VNote.pro as project. Now you are ready to tune and compile VNote! 3.4 Linux In Ubuntu, you could get Qt 5.9 from PPA like this: 9 VNote Documentation, Release 1.11.1 sudo add-apt-repository ppa:beineri/opt-qt591-trusty -y sudo apt-get update -qq sudo apt-get -y install qt59base qt59webengine sudo apt-get -y install qt59webchannel qt59svg qt59location qt59tools qt59translations source /opt/qt*/bin/qt*-env.sh Then compile and install VNote like this: cd vnote.git mkdir build cd build qmake ../VNote.pro make sudo make install 3.4.1 Fcitx If you use Fcitx as the input method, you need to copy the missing library libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so to Qt’s plugin directory. To find the place of libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so, you could execute: fcitx-diagnose | grep libfcitxplatforminputcontextplugin.so If there is no such lib, you may need to install and configure Fcitx for Qt5 correctly before continue. Then you need to copy the lib to Qt’s plugin directory: <path_to_Qt_installation_directory>/5.9.3/gcc_64/plugins/platforminputcontexts/ 3.4.2 OpenSSL VNote needs openSSL 1.0 for networking. To verify if it has been setup correctly, you could check for updates

  • Markdown: Syntax
    Markdown Syntax | Fall 2021-22 Markdown: Syntax ● Overview ❍ Philosophy ❍ Inline HTML ❍ Automatic Escaping for Special Characters ● Block Elements ❍ Paragraphs and Line Breaks ❍ Headers ❍ Blockquotes ❍ Lists ❍ Code Blocks ❍ Horizontal Rules ● Span Elements ❍ Links ❍ Emphasis ❍ Code ❍ Images ● Miscellaneous ❍ Backslash Escapes ❍ Automatic Links Overview Philosophy Markdown is intended to be as easy-to-read and easy-to-write as is feasible. Readability, however, is emphasized above all else. A Markdown-formatted document should be publishable as-is, as plain text, without looking like it's been marked up with tags or formatting instructions. While Markdown's syntax has been influenced by several existing text-to-HTML filters -- including Setext, atx, Textile, reStructuredText, Grutatext, and EtText -- the single biggest source of inspiration for Markdown's syntax is the format of plain text email. To this end, Markdown's syntax is comprised entirely of punctuation characters, which punctuation characters have been carefully chosen so as to look like what they mean. E.g., asterisks around a word actually look like *emphasis*. Markdown lists look like, well, lists. Even blockquotes look like quoted passages of text, assuming you've ever used email. Inline HTML Markdown's syntax is intended for one purpose: to be used as a format for writing for the web. Markdown is not a replacement for HTML, or even close to it. Its syntax is very small, corresponding only to a very small subset of HTML tags. The idea is not to create a syntax that makes it easier to insert HTML tags. In my opinion, HTML tags are already easy to insert.

  • Why Scholars Should Write in Markdown
    A Why scholars should write in Markdown Stuart M. Shieber With few exceptions, scholars would be better off writing their papers in a lightweight markup format called Markdown, rather than using a word-processing program like Microsoft Word. This post explains why, and reveals a hidden agenda as well.1 MICROSOFT WORD IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR SCHOLARLY ARTICLE PRODUCTION Before turning to lightweight markup, I review the problems with Microsoft Word as the lingua franca for producing scholarly articles. This ground has been heavily covered. (Here’s a recent example.) The problems include: Substantial learning curve. Microsoft Word is a complicated program that is difficult to use well. Appearance versus structure. Word-processing programs like Word conflate composition with typesetting. They work by having you specify how a document should look, not how it is structured. A classic example is section headings. In a typical markup language, you specify that something is a heading by marking it as a heading. In a word-processing program you might specify that something is a heading by increasing the font size and making it bold. Yes, Word has “paragraph styles”, and some people sometimes use them more or less properly, if you can figure out how. But most people don’t, or don’t do so consistently, and the resultant chaos has been well documented. It has led to a whole industry of people who specialize in massaging Word files into some semblance of consistency. Backwards compatibility. Word-processing program file formats have a tendency to change. Word itself has gone through multiple incompatible file formats in the last decades, one every couple of years.

  • Latex-Test 2016-09-05
    latex-test 2016-09-05 Ken Moffat 1 Introduction, or my history with LATEX A frustrating but sometimes educational experience. It is easy to forget that TEX is at heart an old-school programming language, with a lot of additional macros added over the years, and many different options. Like all programming languages, it takes a long time to achieve any level of competence. One day in February 2014, somebody noticed that our (BLFS) build of texlive did not build all of the package (and so, anybody who be- gan by installing the binary install-tl-unx still had programs which were not built from source). I had no experience of this [ insert profanities here ] typesetting system, and my initial attempts to try to use it found many exam- ples which perhaps worked when they were posted, but did not work for me. Eventually, I found a few routines which gave me a little confidence that some of it worked. Getting a working version of xindy to build was fun. Eventually I came back to this, got more of it working, and even- tually got it all working from source (although on one of my ma- chines the binary version of ConTeXt failed - that CPU did not sup- port some SSE options that the contributed binary used, but such is life and anyway we prefer to build from source!). The tests are now here to check that a new version works. Along the way, I have discovered that I really dislike much of TEX it- self, and LATEX too is a bit problematic: • The Fonts are ugly.

Jun IIO 1,* and Shusaku OHGAMA 2 1Socio-informatics Dept. Faculty of Letters, Chuo University, 742-1 Higashinakano, Hachioji-shi, Tokyo, Japan 2Information Technology Dept. Information Systems Div., Sumitomo Electric Industries, Ltd., 4-5-33 Kitahama, Chuo-ku, Osaka-shi, Osaka, Japan *Corresponding author Keywords: Open-source software, LibreOffice, OpenOffice, Productivity suites. Abstract. There are many guidebooks which offer some instruction of using productivity suites, and most of them focus on Microsoft's Office (MS-Office,) because it is the dominant products in the market. However, we have some other productivity suites, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice, as the alternative of MS-Office. Therefore, we investigated whether such software could be used properly, within the content of the guidebooks which are widely used. In this paper, the results of our investigation show that the interoperability of such software has already reached a tolerable level from a practical perspective. Introduction Recently, we can find in bookstores many books for reference that provide guidelines on how to operate productivity suites. However, most of them only focus on Microsoft's Office suites (MS-Office,) because it has the largest market share in the world in the productivity software market. On the other hand, there are some other options, such as LibreOffice and Apache OpenOffice. In recent days, persons in businesses face some problems in using these productivity suites.

  • Aligning Intent and Behavior in Software Systems: How Programs Communicate & Their Distribution and Organization
    © 2020 William B. Dietz ALIGNING INTENT AND BEHAVIOR IN SOFTWARE SYSTEMS: HOW PROGRAMS COMMUNICATE & THEIR DISTRIBUTION AND ORGANIZATION BY WILLIAM B. DIETZ DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2020 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Vikram Adve, Chair Professor John Regehr, University of Utah Professor Tao Xie Assistant Professor Sasa Misailovic ABSTRACT Managing the overwhelming complexity of software is a fundamental challenge because complex- ity is the root cause of problems regarding software performance, size, and security. Complexity is what makes software hard to understand, and our ability to understand software in whole or in part is essential to being able to address these problems effectively. Attacking this overwhelming complexity is the fundamental challenge I seek to address by simplifying how we write, organize and think about programs. Within this dissertation I present a system of tools and a set of solutions for improving the nature of software by focusing on programmer’s desired outcome, i.e. their intent. At the program level, the conventional focus, it is impossible to identify complexity that, at the system level, is unnecessary. This “accidental complexity” includes everything from unused features to independent implementations of common algorithmic tasks. Software techniques driving innovation simultaneously increase the distance between what is intended by humans – developers, designers, and especially the users – and what the executing code does in practice. By preserving the declarative intent of the programmer, which is lost in the traditional process of compiling and linking and building software, it is easier to abstract away unnecessary details.

It works fine on my Windows 7. However, I believe that the problem is caused by font substitution mechanism and perhaps on your system, you have some font that takes precendence for some glyphs, but does not contain other characters.
