Report it to onemark@neux.studio if you found one.

• footnotes in Live Mode. However it works well if you import a whole md file with footnotes.

FAQ

What happens if I open a note created by OneMark on mobile or other devices?

• The note will show perfectly on other devices.
• You can edit it on your phone as normal notes.
• When you want to modify or export the markdown source where OneMark is installed, it will detect all modifications and change the md source correspondingly. That is so called ‘editable in bidirectional ways’.

Shortcut keys F5 and F8 conflicts with OneMore or other software?

Use any modifier key, for example Alt + F5.

Why can’t I type code block ``` in OneNote?

This is because `` is auto-corrected to spaces in OneNote. You can stop it either in the tooltip, or in File-Options-Proofing-AutoCorrect Options.

<xxx> disappear after rendering.

OneMark supports html tags, so <xxx> will be treated as html tags. Just wrap it in `` as inline code.

How to import local images?

• The easiest is inserting images in OneNote way. OneMark will export those images with md file when exporting markdown.
• If there is a md file with local images in the correct location, Import Markdown will automatically loads these images.
• You can use absolute file path to load a image, for example ![](C:\Documents\test.png)
• If you want to set a working directory and load images via relative path, just using Export Markdown. It will prompt a dialog to save the md file. After that, OneMark would use that path as the working directory.

Can I insert list/blockquote/code block in table?

Yes, you can do that in OneMark. However, this is not supported in most markdown editors. So when exporting markdown it will not be compatible with others.

Can I open a same note in two OneNote windows?

No. OneMark will stop working in that case.

Why __text__ is underlined, not bold?

__text__ looks like underline to me. Besides we already have **text** to make it bold. 😃

If I directly modify a math equation generated from LaTeX using OneNote math tools, will the markdown source be automatically updated?

Currently no. If you want to maintain data consistency strictly, you must switch it back to source code mode by Ctrl + , to modify a LaTeX. That’s the only exception for in-place modifications.

How does F5 (Convert Paragraph) work?

• It simply reads continuous plain lines above current cursor, until reaches a table/block or a rendered markdown line.
• So you have to put the cursor at the end carefully, not between the paragraphs to be converted. Unless you intend to.
• If current cursor is in a table cell or a block, it will only render the current cell. You could use this feature to paste some texts into a code block and press F5 to highlight them.
