Printing online notes using templates
Published April 3, 2007
Quick Notes includes a collection of print templates, which allow notes to be displayed in a printer friendly format. You can print a single note, all notes included in a selected folder, or all notes from Quick Notes application using the same template:

Every print template design includes personalization variables; i.e. a placeholder that corresponds to a note property (note subject, attached file names, date, note author, etc.). When a user clicks Notes -> Print from Quick Notes main window and selects notes to print and a template, variables from the selected templates are substituted with the corresponding note properties. Thus, the note templates shown above were based on the following design:

Every template is customizable and can be modified in a built-in HTML editor. To use the editor you do not need to have HTML or webpage design skills. The default templates included in Quick Notes are listed on Notes -> Print Templates page. Click on a template to modify it. The list on the right shows all substitution variables that can be added to the template. They include placeholders for a folder name, note subject, note content, attached file list, content author, and date and time of a note creation/modification. Click on a variable to add it to your template design.
You can also create your own print template. Click Add Template (from the Notes -> Print Templates page) and design your own template in HTML editor by placing substitution variables in the space provided. Your new template will be added to the Print Templates list.
