Saving time in Notes.

compunk · April 26, 2019

As far as I know, the text is saved as soon as I type it in notes.
It works very fine.

However when I write down numbered list with blank lines made using [Shift+Enter], click another notes and return to previously edited notes, the blanks lines are gone.

For example...

What I want to make:

1. AAA

2. BBB

3. CCC
----------------------

At first I write:

1. AAA
<-- this is a blank line made with Shift+Enter, in HTML <br>
2.BBB
<-- this is a blank line made with Shift+Enter, in HTML <br>
3.CCC

However, after some while, when I re-open the note, it is :

1.AAA
2.BBB
3.CCC

or

1.AAA

2.BBB
3.CCC

As a result, I have to do [Shift+Enter] again

Do I have to wait for some seconds to save the edited?

That's not really the proper way to add spacing to numbered lists in formatted text — technically that'd be something you'd do in HTML via CSS, not with markup. In Zotero, you can go to the Config Editor in the Advanced pane of the preferences, search for extensions.zotero.note.css, set it to something like li { margin-bottom: 1em; }, and then restart Zotero.

But if you really want to do it with markup in the note itself, you can press Shift-Enter and then add a space and it should save.
