Paragraph view with Nodal Sentences
I think it was either Tarjei or Olav who mentioned in Q and A the reason for their resistance to enacting this feature.
They basically felt the data structure of nodes was incompatible with the idea of paragraphs, that nodal data structures made more sense at the level of a sentence.
I think however you should still be able to create a solution that supported both outcomes.
A view/edting mode that parses sentences into nodes and allows them to be viewed in either paragraph or nodal modes.
Paragraph View
This is node one. This is node two. This is node three.
Nodal View
- #Par Break
- This is node one
- This is node two
- This is node three
You would have to think about how you would deal with child nodes
i.e.
Nodal View
- Par Break
- This is node one
- This is node two
- This is node two B
- This is node three
**Paragraph View **
This is node one. *This is node two. ...
- This is node two B
... This is node three.
But these issues are not insurmountable. That way you get the best of both worlds. Node=Sentence and Paragraph view. And maybe it would mean Tana were more likely to implement.
Best N
I like it when service providers get us the results we want.
We help people build relationships with providers who are improbable to resist you when you want a software feature and that feature can be created.
We help people manage content as usefully as they like.
Excellent idea! Similar to your suggestion you can also think of a "Page View" and "Node View" option for each node, but where in "Page View" each child node turns into a "block" similar to what we know from tools like Notion.
