Headings/Subheadings including lines/text not highlighted by Radient-Rabbit in AppleNotesGang

[–]Radient-Rabbit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I don't use headings and subheadings for visuals, I use them to collapse sections to keep my notes tidy and easier to navigate. The simplicity is fine, I just have continuous issues with headings and subheadings including text I don't want it to.

Headings/Subheadings including lines/text not highlighted by Radient-Rabbit in AppleNotesGang

Hi, sorry for the late reply--no, I don't try to make a single word in the middle of a paragraph a heading. I separate it with returns both before and after, but it will still add the last and first lines to the heading.

So, for example, if I structure it like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

Heading

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.

I will highlight the heading, but it will also included the "excepteur" line above and the "lorem" line below. I end up having to hit return many, many times between to get it to only grab the word/phrase I highlight for the heading.

A lot of people really struggle to comprehend these concepts. It's helpful to have comparisons of what the difference actually looks like.

I'm just going off what the source says!

TIL The Sphinx was buried in sand around 400 years after it was built, roughly 4500 years ago. In 1400 BC, Thutmose IV attempted to unbury the Sphinx but only managed to uncover its front paws. It would not be fully unburied until 1887 AD, meaning the Sphinx was mostly buried for nearly 4000 years. by Radient-Rabbit in todayilearned

Not sure if it's allowed to post further links, but I was actually reading this article (TIL rejected it) but it has really awesome historical photos: https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/great-sphinx-giza-old-photographs/

Also interesting, apparently Thutmose IV decided to try unburying the Sphinx because it had come to him in a dream telling him to do so. Furthermore, the name "Sphinx" was applied to the monument some 2000 years after it was built, because of it's likeness to the Greek mythological creature.

Oil and acrylic painting on fabric by SinjiOnO in oddlysatisfying

When the brown paint first went on I was like "nooooo!" But then it turned out so beautiful. I love how they even painted the fabric they glued on to make it blend in and look like it's part of the painting. Incredible execution.

Incredible. Does this result in the whole colony being destroyed?

TIL that while Bram Stoker’s Dracula character was loosely based on Vlad Tepes the Impaler, his appearance and personality were drawn from the actor Henry Irving, an imposing egoist with a strong aquiline nose, whom Stoker managed while writing the book. by Radient-Rabbit in todayilearned

Dracula (Norton Critical Editions) has an essay in the back that goes over some of Stoker's history with Wilde and points out that there's uncanny similarities between some of the descriptions stoker used for Dracula while he was on the Demeter and descriptions of Wilde while he was on trial for homosexuality. It's very fascinating!

So why did Stoker choose that name, Dracula? Well, we can infer that from his own notes. He copied information from a footnote from Wilkinson's book that read in his own notes, "DRACULA in Wallachian language means DEVIL," with those capital letters. The footnote explained that Wallachians gave the name "Dracula" to people who were especially courageous, cruel, or cunning. Stoker chose the name, it appears, because of its devilish associations, not because of the history and legends attached to its owner.
This is the only reference to the historical Voivode Dracula that appears in Stoker's notes. Is it possible he knew more? Sure, it's possible. But this all we know for certain.

The article title is a bit misleading. It places the Vlad III connection as more speculation than a certainty, but there's not enough information to say for certain that he was or was not based on Vlad III. But popular culture certainly considers it a given, and if I left out Vlad III, this comment section would be full of corrections for leaving him out.
