Let me give some examples. You could replace the <$text> section in the default template(s) with the following.
1. If you don’t need the text attributes for the anchored or markup notes in the export (e.g. a plain text template), you can replace it with: <$textString?> <$textString/> </$textString?> 2. If you want the text attributes in anchored notes, but don’t need it for markup (it is generally not reliable anyway) you could do: <$text?> <$text/> <?$text?> <$textString?> <$textString/> </$textString?> </$text?> 3. If you want to keep attributes in anchored notes and markup: <$text?> <$text/> </$text?> <$selection?> <$selection.attributedString/> </$selection?> HTH, Christiaan > On 27 Jun 2019, at 00:31, Peter Olin <[email protected]> wrote: > > Awesome Christiaan, > thank you! > Peter > > On Wed, Jun 26, 2019 at 10:50 PM Christiaan Hofman <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > >> On 26 Jun 2019, at 21:07, Peter Olin <[email protected] >> <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: >> >> Hi all, I'm becoming a frequent user and fan of Skim, thanks for a great >> piece of software.
