Is there a way to export an outline with notes attached to nodes using the _note attribute in OPML.

Is there a way to export an outline with notes attached to nodes using the _note attribute in OPML. The current set up (which I'm guessing is to allow collaborative notes) won't be recognized as notes in other outliners.

    Hello, could you please tell me which 'other outliner' you're mentioning? So we could check.
    Thanks!

    I tested Workflowy, Tree for OSX, and Outlinely, and I'm told CarbonFin Outliner all uses _note attribute for notes attached to outline nodes. I can paste an example if you would like or you could try it yourself.

    Hello Andrew, 
    It looks like using _note attribute implies that there is only one note for a list item. In Checkvist you can add as many notes as you wish. We can export all notes as a single list item, by joining their text with a line break. Would it work for you?

    I wouldn't like to lose the information.

    I see. Yeah, a line break or ------ horizontal line marker like in markdown would work for me if the notes were combined and then given a _note attribute. That would allow me to export them into other programs.

    Maybe it could be a checkbox to tick on export for OPML?

    That would be great!

Any Toggl users here?

Any Toggl users here? I'm putting together an integration so the toggl (Chrome extension) button ( https://github.com/toggl/toggl-button ) is displayed for tasks on a Checkvist list. It's dead simple (a few lines of javascript), but I'm slightly torn on the best way to handle one aspect: whether or not toggl is shown for a particular list. It can't be always-on, as it adds too much clutter for non-projecty lists (who wants a timer button for the carrots on their grocery list?). What I have now is that if any task on a list is tagged #toggl, then all tasks on that list will have the toggl button. A few alternatives I canvassed were: - display toggl buttons only on subtasks of a task tagged with #toggl - display toggl buttons only on focused (hoisted) tasks - find some other way to indicate that all of a list's tasks should have the button, eg. something encoded in the list's name I think what I have now is the most convenient of these (I don't want to hav...
