So far I have tried:
GSNotes: - Too propriatory
- Can not export to anything other than GSNote format. Been burnt that way too many times...
Jreepad: - Pre alpha software.
- Only works with plain text note, no linking
MyInfo: - Propriatory format
- Can import files, but only 1 at a time
- Moving text between nodes looses all of the formatting information.
- Internal links to other nodes appear as "file::Bless#7" to link to a node called "Bless" which is just ugly.
- Export to HTML looses all of the link information and just displays the text "file::Bless#7" with no link...
Treepad- Propriatory format
- Good import facility
- HTML import ignores stylesheets
- Moving data between nodes is easy
- Good hyper linking facilities
- Export to HTML refers to all hyperlinks as "nodeid://317" rather than converting them to href links
- Importing HTML that has been exported does not keep the "nodeid://317" link elements.
- Adding a link turns html into rtf.
The Journal- Proriatory format
- no way to export to any other format.
What I am looking for is a way to have the whole of the
SRD plus any other class / feat/ spell information I haev in one easily searched place.
Having everything as one big 2000 page doc file is a pain and I have never found a HTML system that is searchable over multiple files.
what I am looking for are the following features:
- Ability to import data from HTML files and keep the formatting (this includes stylesheets
- Ability to create a new html node from a stylesheet and template
- Ability to search over all of the nodes.
- Ability to link to nodes
- Ability to dump the whole lot as a set of HTML pages (including stylesheets and links)
- Abiltiy to move information around between nodes and not loose information (i.e. move the Bless spell from the SpellsA-B node into it's own node easily and retain formatting).
- Abiltiy to drag and drop selected text into a new node
- And most importantly: Auto hyper linking. I want any occurance of the word "bless" to be linked to the node "bless".
Treepad is close but it does not satisfy the stylesheet/template requirements and it handles links badly. If it did not convert html to rtf when I added a link I would consider writing some perl to add the links in for me
And yet another word from our sponsors
