Differences between notes taken in L5 and the iPad App

When I take notes on L5 Mac, it snips a bit of the highlight text and then I annotate it. When I do the same thing on the iPad/iPhone app, it snips the entire highlighted text. (see screenshot below, the top is L5 Mac, the bottom is iPad/iPhone)

Is there a way to adjust this so that the desktop and ipad apps are consistent with each other?

No. The "full text" version on mobile is considered a bug/limitation/yet implemented feature. FYI - the "quote" line is actually the "title" of the note, and can be changed (manually) to anything you would like. Many users want the full quote all the time… I agree with the desire, but believe it should be in a new field, (preferably with a new "quote only" view).

I am running the latest Mac version (stable) and iPad 3.2.4RC3 and am still experiencing this bug. I have just noticed it as I am using highlighting more. I guess I don't really have a preference either way, I just want it to be consistent.

However, after much consideration, I would agree with alabama that the full highlighted text should be in a separate data entry from the title.

I raised a post about this a few days ago in the 'suggestion forum'. I also hope they bring clippings to the iOS platform as well. There are uservoice voting items for the clippings at least.

I highlight the full text I want to see in my note, then copy that to the clipboard. Then I highlight just the portion to use as the note title and create the note. I put the cursor into the body of the blank note text and paste the original text into the note. Last, I add my own notes and content.

This iOS bug was written up a while back; I'll see if I can track down the status of it.
