    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 kn...

    Hey Rudolf
    Thanks for jumping on board
    I'm not familiar with that in Notion.
    Could you post some screenshots perhaps.

    2. Format Date Fields in Build In Title
    Nathan Price Nathan Price Jul 26, 2023

    I think being able to include a formatting setting on any date element would be best.
    Also a default format - i.e. US or European
    Then the ability to modify it in the reformat it in the "Build title" section would be great. i.e

    ${Date|hh:mm}

    This is way to much information.

    Today, Wed, Apr 05, 01:00:00 PM - Today, Wed, Apr 05, 02:00:00 PM

    Do we really need the seconds here?

    This would be a great setting to have

    Wed, Apr 05, 1-2pm

    Or on a date page,

    1-2pm
    1pm-2pm

    It'd be a little like excel where you can just apply the appropriate formatting but then still access the more detailed data underneath if required.

    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.
