This project is discontinued. Please use tp-note instead. The code of tp-note is more generic, works with all markup languages (including Markdown).

Markup languages like reStructuredText are perfectly suited for quick note taking. Type your notes with your favourite editor, view and browse them with Chromium, Chrome or Firefox.

All you need is the so called rst-note ash-script, the python packages restview, docutils, pygments and any browser of your choice: Chromium, Chrome or Firefox.

This is the documentation of the bin/rst-note program. rst-note runs under Linux and Windows. 1. The script operates in four modes depending on it’s options (see ):

New note:

  • Creates a new context depending rst note file.

Edit notes:

  • Launches an editor.

View notes:

  • Launches a live-previewer (Firefox, Chrome of Chromium).

Sync filename:

  • Renames the filename to be in sync with the document’s title.

The project is hosted on [https://github.com/getreu/restructuredtext-notetaking].
