2002 2003 2004 Michal Rudolf &FDLNotice; 31/03/2003 0.10 &knowit; is an application to help you keep, edit and maintain notes. KDE KnowIt notes manage edit tree hierarchy HTML &kapp; is a simple tool for managing notes. It is similar to TuxCards, but designed for KDE 3.x. Notes are organized in tree-like hierarchy, texts are stored in RichText format, so bold, italic and underline fonts are supported, as well as various text colors and unordered lists. &kapp; development depends on user's feedback! If you have suggestions or want to help developing &kapp;, have a look at the &kapp; page to see what is still to do. The main screen of &knowit; is divided into two parts: on the left you can see the notes hierarchy (tree-like), on the right you can find the text of the current note. You can browse and manage notes in the tree view and edit them in the edit view. Here's a screenshot of &kapp; Screenshot You can use standard KDE shortcuts for editing text. Unordered lists are supported: just start the line with *. You can also use List submenu of Edit menu to get all available list formats. Enter inserts a new paragraph (as in HTML there is an empty line between two paragraphs) - if you just want a line break, use Ctrl+Enter instead. You can use shortcuts for adding notes. If the notes tree is active, just press Ctrl+Enter to add a same-level note following the current one, Insert to add a child-note and Delete to delete the current note. Notes menu or popup menu (accessed by right-clicking on the list) contains many commands for managing notes. Most of them have shortcuts assigned, for others you could assign them yourself. You can create links in notes. Links will be displayed below the note text. There are two kinds of links: external (to any file or URL) - click on it, and it will be opened in appropriate application, and internal (to another note) - click on it, and note with appropriate title will be displayed.

File ChangeLog in source package contains information about changes in previous versions. Newest version of &knowit; can be found at knowit.sourceforge.net. Updates will probably be announced on Freshmeat and apps.kde.com. I use KDE 3.1 for both developing and testing &knowit;. As far as I know, it should work in both KDE 3.2 and KDE 3.0 without any problems. I doubt that it would compile in KDE 2.x - but I have no access to older KDE versions to check it. Anyway, any information about &knowit; in KDE 2.x would be welcomed. In order to compile and install &knowit; on your system, type the following in the base directory of the &knowit; distribution: % ./configure % make % make install Since &knowit; uses autoconf and automake, you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the autor. &documentation.index;
