Q: What is a textpack file?

The Textpack format is part of the TextBundle standard ( http://textbundle.org/ ). It's a container that allows you to store markdown documents together with images as a single file. This is a zip file, containing a markdown file with all the images used in the document.

Question 6

How to work with Tags?

Accepted Answer

Tags are one of the basic tools for organizing documents. When working with tags in Keepmark, you can start by defining a list of tags for a given workspace, or simply create them by assigning to documents right away. All tags assigned to documents will be visible in the application's side-bar, allowing you to quickly filter the list of documents to selected subjects.

Tags on sidebar

The tags component in the side panel makes it easier to get to the documents you need at the moment. Over time the number of tags can be overwhelming, so the component is enhanced with a tag search engine and the ability to group tags as you wish. The view allows you to select multiple tags in a list - so you don't have to browse the list of documents for each tag separately.

A single tag can have various properties. The most important distinction is its name, and that is the one assigned to documents or tasks. To make working with tags easier, you can assign it to a selected group. If you want to create a new group, simply enter its name.

You can assign keywords to tags. Keywords help in automatically selecting tags for a given document, or task. With keywords associated with a tag, Keepmark will make better suggestions for tags too when assigning them to documents.
