Can we NOT displaying titles of notes in the table? #3

Closed kit-zeason closed 10 months ago

kit-zeason commented 1 year ago

Thank you first for the excellent extension that offers me a novel way to manage and collect INFOs scattered in numerous notes within my Zotero base.

Here, I wanna know is it possible to NOT displaying the title of all collected notes in the summary table. In practice, I both need a title to label my note and directly copy the contents in a table column to another. This two needs, however, clashes each other if the titles are included in the table: what we want is usually the content IN the note, not the title (which is just the indiciator for me to locate the target note).

Displaying titles in the summary table, as a result, may pollute the summarized contents so that the user has to spend time on removing these them before formal use, and it is an uncessary loss of efficiency. I think if we could make the titles (at least the first H1 header) disappear, the workflow would be more fluent.

Thank you for any potential response! Anyway Ze-Notes is still an excellent extension and I'll keep using it.

Hi! Thank you for your feedback and sorry for the delay.

  1. I have hard time locating what you mean by "the title of all collected notes in the summary table". It would help if you could provide some screenshot.

  2. If you mean you use HTML formatting for all your notes and would like to remove all H1, then there is not much I can do for the moment. Maybe adding some kind of filters in the settings in the future?

  3. By the way, anything you write inside these <<...>> in a note will NOT be displayed in the summary table (only for notes not pdf annotations). 01 label-note-tag 1

Hi! Sorry for replying late, because it takes time for me to recollect how I did that before :p. And yes, that’s what I mean. Consider the picture below:

Just forget the Chinese headers, which is a tag for me labeling notes with information needed to be collected by Zenotes in the future. I use this table to generate literature review automatically. Anyway, the contents in red circles are the title of my notes, which format like:

@.***

This is somewhat annoying because when I make such a table, I just want the information from notes, not their titles. These information would self-organize into a formal paragraph introducing the selected literature, and this introduction should not include the note titles. Even the name of this column is already filled by the tag’s name, so that the existence of note titles becomes more redundant.

Why I still spend a lot of time to recollect this scene because I adopted a solution after the last feedback based on Quicker, an automation marco editor on windows:

  1. Force every note that might be summarized by Ze-notes has the same title;
  2. Copy and paste the table from Ze-notes;
  3. After pasting it, use Quicker marco to delete all titles.

So clumsy, right? And I found that your solution, e.g. putting the title in <<...>> really works. That makes me more clumsy then ☹. I’ve already recorded this solution in my notes, informed it to my teammates, and designed an other Marco to make this action more convenient. Everything goes smoother now.

Anyway again, it maybe better if we can choose not presenting note titles in settings, but the recent solution is workable. Your plugin does provide us a very convenient solution for collecting information scattered in numerous papers. It’s already embedded deeply with my workflow now. My teammates and I greatly appreciate your work. Many, many thanks.

Have a nice day!

This is addressed in the latest version. You can update the plugin from Zotero.

Head to ZeNotes > Settings > Global settings In "filter html (replace)", input "h1:nth-of-type(1)" to replace the first occurrence of "h1". image
