&kapp; is a simple tool for managing notes. It is similar to
|
|
<ulink url="http://tuxcards.sourceforge.net">TuxCards</ulink>,
|
|
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
|
|
<ulink url="http://knowit.sourceforge.net">&kapp; page</ulink>
|
|
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.

<para>
|

You can use standard KDE shortcuts for editing text. Unordered lists are
|
|
supported: just start the line with <keycap>*</keycap>. You can also use
|
|
<guimenu>List</guimenu> submenu of <guimenu>Edit</guimenu> menu to get all
|
|
available list formats.

|

<para>
|
|
<keycap>Enter</keycap> inserts a new paragraph (as in HTML there
|
|
is an empty line between two paragraphs) - if you
|
|
just want a line break, use <keycap>Ctrl+Enter</keycap> instead.

<para>
|
|
You can use shortcuts for adding notes. If the notes tree is active,
|
|
just press <keycap>Ctrl+Enter</keycap> to add a same-level note following
|
|
the current one, <keycap>Insert</keycap> to add a child-note and
|
|
<keycap>Delete</keycap> to delete the current note.

<para>
|
|
<guimenu>Notes</guimenu> 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.

<para>

You can create links in notes. Links will be displayed below the note
|
|
text. There are two kinds of links: <emphasis>external</emphasis> (to
|
|
any file or URL) - click on it, and it will be opened in appropriate
|
|
application, and <emphasis>internal</emphasis> (to another note) - click
|
|
on it, and note with appropriate title will be displayed.

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:
|
|
<screen width="40">
|
|
<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput>./configure</userinput>
|
|
<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput>make</userinput>
|

<prompt>%</prompt> <userinput>make install</userinput>
|

</screen>

</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Since &knowit; uses autoconf and automake, you should have no
|
|
trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report
|
|
them to the autor.</para>
