Bookends notecard vs PDF note

Post by Demogorgon »

Could someone please explain the advantage and disadvantages of each?

People have already mentioned that "PDF notes can contain multiple paragraphs while Bookends notecards cannot." I have solved that problem by using <p> instead of newline to make multi-paragraph Bookends notecards.

Thanks in advance.

Bookends notes reside in the database.

PDF notes reside in the PDF.

That's the difference, and the implications thereof (for searching, formatting, emailing, etc).

Hello can you show me how you do this please? I've tried to use combinations of <p> and </p> but haven't been able to create multi paragraph notecards. Thanks.

The break between notecards occurs when there are 2 returns in a row. If you want to have multiple empty lines in a notecard, precede the return with a space. E.g.,

text
<space> return
<space> return
more text
