![]() I feel like I’ve established what I like about Typora. ![]() The quickness makes it even a very real option for taking live (math) notes during a lecture even if that includes having to write math syntax. And I really really like Typora for this. It so much easier on the hands if there’s no need to frequently move them up to the number row to get a slash and type weird commands. So given that and my need to use a lot of math in this third and final summary, I switched back to Typora.Īnd while notion might offer a more broad selection of features than Typora - partly because they just don’t stick to markdown and extend their format in their own way - using Typora is just so much more comfortable than notion. Now having to type /math every few words to insert an inline math part that might very well only be a few characters long does get old really fast (at least for me). But when it came to the third Summary i was going to write, this one even with the ability to take it to the exam, it should just so happen, that the subject matter was very math focused. This is fine for normal text content, because usually you will only need some paragraphs of pure text, maybe a little formatting here and there and then some headers in between. However it did very well for the Summaries I wrote and of course it does calm one’s mind to know that all the hard work is already saved in the cloud instead of only on one’s unstable personal computer.Īll this comes with one caveat, the way notion makes you use “commands” to format your content. It is admittedly an absolutely amazing site with a ton of features which I will probably never have a use for. In the past “Lernphase” I have used notion.so for two of my Summaries. The main thing that makes Typora so attractive to me however, is and always will be the ease of use when it comes to the math rendering described above. There’s of course the standard markdown shortcuts like ` for code mode or ``` for multi-line code blocks with optional syntax highlighting or underlining, bold and italic. ![]() One can even do multi-line math blocks with $$. If you type in a $a second $ will automatically be inserted after the cursor and the content in between them will be rendered as LaTeX math. This is accompanied by some rather useful shortcuts, like Ctrl+1 will give you a “Heading 1” level, Ctrl+2 will be a “Heading 2” and so on up until 5. (That is unless you mess around with the Themes and maybe create some export specific rules…). Meaning that the end result will look exactly like what you are typing up on your screen. So first of all Typora is a “markdown editor” with a “What you see is what you get” (WYSIWYG) approach. ![]()
