Desktop: Remove <div, p, etc tags> from a note overview under "All notes"

[nikolayhg]

Problem: Currently if a note contains html tags like div, p, b, they are shown in the overview of the note under "All notes". But this information is not useful as an overview. Screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/0RF5JEb.png

Suggested Solution: Strip away all tags in the overview of a note under "All notes". Add space before every text content after the first found text content.

The thing is, the notes list doesn't understand "extensions". It doesn't know it's dealing with an HTML note, for example. So it has no "right" to strip away any text. What if you're editing some HTML code in your note?

The solution in the future would be to offer some sort of "preprocessor" extension for the notes list. But we're a far way from that.

Is it possible for the currently active editor to offer/hold the overview and "All Notes" to query the editor for it?

[mobitar]

No that's not possible. But even if it were I don't think it would suffice. What if the current editor is Markdown, but HTML notes are shown in the list? We would need to keep all editors in memory in that case..

ok, thanks for replying! Feel free to close the issue, if not relevant to remain open.

Makes no difference to me..closing issues can become an unhealthy addiction ;) Best to treat all issues as discussion posts and not a todo/issue.

@mobitar how about hiding the overview of every note? I think this would lead to simplicity, elegance, faster looking up with the eyes. Most of the time I am not interested in the overview, just the title. Even the tags are too much information for me and would be great if I could hide them too.

[mobitar]

Yup, you can do this now:

Hi Mobitar, any idea when hiding Note Preview will reach the android version of SN (maybe like on short/mid/longterm?) Cheers

[mobitar]

I'd say somewhere on the mid range. Working on a lot of important architectural stuff right now so the "nice-to-haves" are taking a temporary back seat.

Ok, thanks for the info mobitar

v3 now takes care of this. Be sure to edit your marked up notes at least once so new previews get updated.
