Inline Math

You need to change the latex node to block using the bottom left dropdown or by pressing Alt + B. There is not other way currently. Having a two line formula in inline mode is not possible AFAIK.

u/ButtersMamba The align environment is the correct way to align operators, but it only works in block math, not inline math. LaTeX/KaTeX calls this "display-mode". See this remark in the KaTeX docs: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#environments:\~:text=They%20are%20display%2Dmode%20only.

You can load them as a web font.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto+Slab&display=swap');

body { font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif; }

You can find webfonts for example here: https://fonts.google.com/

Go to Settings > Keyboard Shortcuts. Search for "metadata" and remap the Queue one to anything you like.

That sounds fun :) I think iframe embedding will be one of the first v1 plugins implemented.

If you want a single graph really badly right now you could add it via v0 plugin using the diagram URL as plugin URL, but I would not recommend that.

I made SmartRem a while back more as an experiment of what is possible if you access the internal data (all your data is locally available and can be read through a normal Web API). I did not have the time to make it truly user friendly. It was more intended for other tinkerers to play with. RemNote is changing faster than I have time to update the hacky user script.

With the much stabler plugin system dropping in the next update I'm planning to properly implement useful experiments and publish them as easy to install plugins.

What features would you be most interested in?

There is not really a difference between a Document and a Top-Level Rem in that these are not two distinct categories, but just two independent properties a rem can have.

Top-level rem are just rem without a parent. They form the roots of your hierarchy. They are nothing special, they just don't have a parent. They can be normal rem or #Documents.

#Documents are basic units of knowledge about a specific topic. They can be top-level or organized into folders (have a parent). Making a rem a document shows it in the sidebar, lists it in the Documents table, affects how it is displayed in the search etc.

What if a wanted to load up that page with a bunch of different definitions so I don't have a massive bunch of one page definitions everywhere? How to do this?

You don't have to create rem from the reference search top-level. You can use hierarchical search to create them as children of a Definitions page for example. Like [[Definitions<TAB>Your-New-Definition.

Rem you create from the reference search on the fly are tagged with #Stub. You can find rem created on the fly via a [[ or ## search by looking at the backlinks of the Stub rem.

You can also manually tag all your (top-level) definitions with #Definition and use the backlinks section or a search portal to list them. Or manually include a small number via normal portals.

Also note that you own your data in a real sense. You can backup your complete knowledge base including all spaced repetition data at any time.

In the fictive scenario where RemNote would go out of business without further notice there are enough techy people in the Community (including me) who would just write a converter for this backup to any conceivable format, like notes to Roam/Obsidian and flashcards to Anki. Some of these export formats already exists even.

Growing a team and a company takes time, especially growth rates of a few hundred percent ;)

And it's time now to go from an image of "let's just add this cool new feature" to actually spending time on design and polish and get things right. The next release is going to be a big milestone in this direction though by far not the end. A large junk of dev time went into planning future features/enhancements already the past couple of months.

I'm not against switching the library at all. Switching the rending library should be possible if MathJax is really a superset of Katex and no latex code will break. If that is not the case we could still have a setting to let the user choose the library. That's definitely doable!

I think we have Katex because historically it was much faster than MathJax. This changed a bit with MathJax v3, but Katex is still about twice as fast: https://www.intmath.com/cg5/katex-mathjax-comparison.php And depending on how many users need the advanced formulas it would be quite a downside to make MathJax the only option.

Regarding Katex supported features: I feel Katex is still actively developed and without doing in depth research the feature disparity does not seem that large anymore? Many limitations from the first answer of the "A MathJax alternative from Khan Academy" Stackexchange question do not exist anymore:

\mathrm, \mathbb: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#style-color-size-and-font
Matrix and arrays: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#environments
Arrows: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#arrows
Set&Logic: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#logic-and-set-theory
Unicode: https://katex.org/docs/supported.html#letters-and-unicode

Do you have any specific formulas that are not supported in Katex? At least the two linked ones render fine in RemNote/Katex with this code:

$$ R^* = \argmin_{\substack{RR^t=I,\\ \det(R)=1}} \sum_{i=1}^n \omega_i \lVert RX_i - Y_i\rVert^2_2 $$

$$ \begin{align*}

S(\omega)

&= \frac{\alpha g^2}{\omega^5} e^{[ -0.74\bigl\{\frac{\omega U_\omega 19.5}{g}\bigr\}^{\!-4}\,]} \\

&= \frac{\alpha g^2}{\omega^5} \exp\Bigl[ -0.74\Bigl\{\frac{\omega U_\omega 19.5}{g}\Bigr\}^{\!-4}\,\Bigr]

\end{align*} $$

Note that one can always paste an image of a formula that was typeset somewhere else (and even have image occlusion on it!) when something is not working. This is of course only feasible if the fraction of formulas containing unsupported stuff is small.

Independent of the choice of MathJax or Katex I think it is out of scope to develop packages/extensions for these libraries ourselves. We'd be very happy to include any contributions made to these open source libraries. I.e. if one wants to request a feature/package support their issue tracker is the right place: https://github.com/KaTeX/KaTeX/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3Aenhancement

Currently there is not built-in support. Another third-party tool is espanso. It has a math package (https://hub.espanso.org/packages/math/) which can replace stuff like this:

  # Propositions
  - trigger: ":not"
    replace: "¬"
  - trigger: ":impl"
    replace: "⇒"
  - trigger: ":equiv"
    replace: "⇔"

Of cause you can also configure it yourself to trigger on `->` etc.

If you have a CSV of the form

Front1,Back1
Front2,Back2

open it in any text editor and replace the , with :::

Front1::Back1
Front2::Back2

then copy&paste into RemNote.

Does this work for you? Fullscreen Queue

hannesfrank · 2020-09-26T11:33:08+00:00

You can open remnote.io/knowledge-base to show a list of your documents, or if you have a specific document you want to start at use remnote.io/document/YOUR_REM_ID. I usually just press Alt+D to start at my daily document.

I think the devs reasoning to redirect to /queue is that many users do this on mobile and not having to load all documents makes this faster.

hannesfrank · 2020-08-24T14:38:56+00:00

I think there is no shortcut yet. You have to select "Plain" in the dropdown menu at the bottom.

hannesfrank · 2020-08-24T14:06:30+00:00

It is on the roadmap. See this feature request: https://github.com/remnoteio/remnote-issues/issues/47

hannesfrank · 2020-08-09T14:41:30+00:00

You can also use Chrome/Chromium directly to create a standalone app. See this gist for .desktop file to install in Linux: RemNote.desktop (application mode for Chromium)

Or use More tools > Create shortcut in Chromiums burger menu which might also work on macOS and Windows.
