Ability to use certain markdown features in notes such as asterisk and hyphens can automatically create a bullet.

  • Yes, this would be great! Three taps on an iPad to make a bullet point really slows down my note taking. I would love to do it all from my keyboard.

    I would be more interested in this if personal books could also be in Markdown format.

    Orthodox Bishop Alfeyev: "To be a theologian means to have experience of a personal encounter with God through prayer and worship."; Orthodox proverb: "We know where the Church is, we do not know where it is not."

  • Markdown, with the ability to link resources and verses, is a stellar suggestion.
  • I'd love the ability to get my notes in Markdown format. I'd be even more pleased if anchor links opened in the app. 
  • absolutely markdown in notes!!!
  • Fantastic Suggestion. With Markdown the possibilities are endless!

    I use Obsidian as my main note-taking app and markdown is a game changer. Mainly because of the inline formatting abilities and backlinking. I would LOVE to see this feature in Logos!!

    It'd be great if Notes, Sermon Editor, and Clippings all had the same text editing toolbar and behaviors so that the experience would be consistent throughout the app (and same goes for mobile apps). For the automatic lists, this could be a boolean (on/off) option in a menu to accommodate users who don't want the behavior, but I'd prefer it on.

    This would put Logos in Present in terms of text editing... Sermon Builder is painful because of the old-fashioned way of doing certain things. Please, implement this ASAP!

    It would be amazing if our note editor was fully compatible with Obsidian! 
  • Please! This would be awesome! Many increasingly common editors use Markdown, which easily allows rich text editing, not to mention importing from those note-taking apps. I have quite a few notes in markdown apps that I'd like to import, and I'm more likely to use a note-taking app if it has markdown capabilities.
  • Also using # to have Header 1,2,3..., dividers and / to open command droplist as we have in other based text apps.
  • Full Markdown support would be awesome across all user text-based features!
  • Yes, we need markdown in all Texteditors in Logos.

    This is one of my most significant needs in Logos right now. I am so heavily invested in markdown in other tools that it keeps me from using Logos for things I would otherwise do. 

    The interoperability of my notes in other tools would be killer. And, markdown is just easier to use than the present formatting toolbars, especially on mobile. They are often slow and unpredictable on my devices.
  • Yes!

    *.md syntax would provide an easy text-based, form to create formatted note content and would easily LaTeX to other formats if needed.
  • Cross-posting from the markdown in Sermon Builder because it's needed here too:
    Absolutely this! I use Markdown in Obsidian and so many other apps, it's definitely my go-to way to write any kind of notes or document these days.

    @Dain Deutschman  This is exactly why I came here this morning! I just started using Obsidian this week and thought, "This would be incredible in Logos Notes!"

    My one main fear of going all-in all-the-time on Logos Notes is the fear of ever losing my notes. It would be great to know everything was cross-compatible with markdown. An easy export of all Logos notes to .md files and I'd have the perfect backup of everything in case of a rainy day. This is a huge draw toward Obsidian! I don't like all my files having to live on someone else's servers if they don't have to.

    I love being able to write in **markdown** instead of having to use keyboard shortcuts or formatting ribbons. It saves time! Also, it would be great to be able to import/export notes in markdown format to/from Logos Notes.

    Logos could have its grading system redesigned to be more useful. I've started using the Obsidian software for grading notes with links between notes, so I thought it would be wonderful if Logos notes worked like Obsidian or Notion, which also creates links between notes.

    For those who don't know Obsidian yet, I suggest you look for good videos of it on YouTube. Obsidian uses the markdown format, which allows you to import and export notes to other services. It aims to create a neural network of information, connecting it logically and creating links with existing files.

    The idea is to have a notes system that acts as a "second brain". The notes are linked and interrelated in a fantastic index system, then it presents all the notes in a graphic system reminiscent of a neural network that is very similar to Logos' "Psalm Explorer" tool (which would already help in this process).

    If Logos had this function of making links between notes and sermons, we could build our entire life of notes, studies and sermons in a way that everything could be classified, interconnected and more easily located whenever we need to remember a note or subject. Imagine it all in one place and the power it would bring to Logos.

    Maybe, who knows, since everything you type in Obsidian is saved as simple .txt files to make it more compatible and exportable, Logos could have the function of letting Obsidian access your notes, or vice versa.

    I am another Obsidian user who continues to use Obsidian as my primary notes repository instead of Logos because they are in a future proof text format and because you can link notes to other notes, a complete game changer. 

    Using the Obsidian engine within Logos would be amazing. The most important piece would be linking notes to other notes using double brackets.

    I also liked the "Notescraps" app that Logos offered years ago. It would be fun if we could display our notes in "Notescraps" view. Markdown would be fun as well.
