Writing in markdown format is definitely essential to my plain text note taking workflow. ![]() ![]() Your notes remain in portable readable plain text and can be easily exported to fully formatted HTML or RTF. Markdown syntax is easy to type and readable to people who are unfamiliar with markdown. I highly recommend you take a look at writing with markdown if you have not ventured down that path already. Once tags are added, this is how your entry will look. This allows you to add tags to your files or edit existing tags. In addition to filename tagging you can also use nvALT’s built in tagging system with the keyboard shortcut ⌘⇧T mentioned above. If you want to find all your running lists you can search for runx and not worry about reference files that contain the word “run” cluttering up your search results. Why the “x”? The x is purely to represent that it is a tag. If you’re a list person as I am, then keeping a bunch of files like runx-blog-topic-ideas, runx-bucket-list, runx-girl-baby-names, or runx-mmorpg-character-names around can be quite handy. If I’m learning how to use a new text editor or solving a difficult technical problem, I almost always have nvALT open and am jotting down notes, copying and pasting reference material into a refx-thing-im-figuring-out text file. The tags I most commonly use myself are refx and runx. Naming your notes with a tagx-filename scheme gives you a bit of “meta data” right in the filename for easy search and use even outside of nvALT.
