Snippets with links and formatting

[ruiguerreiro]

Hello everyone,

 

I was trying to create a couple Snippets for things I often use in Evernote, and I'm having some trouble getting the Snippet to do what I need. Mainly these two things:

 

1. links - I would like to include a link to one specific Evernote note in my snippet, but I don't want the link itself, but a phrase that contains the link. So I want the following second example, not the first one:

1. http://www.alfredforum.com/
2. Visit Alfred's forum

Is that possible?

 

2. formating - In another snippet I would like to include a short check list, and a couple bullet points. When I copy and paste these from Evernote into the snippet builder in Alfred, I get the following:

 

[ ] check1

 

[ ] check2

 

- bullet1

- bullet2

 

And of course, when I use the snippet in Evernote, I get the same thing, and not the usual Evernote checkboxes and bullet points.

Is there a way to get the correct formatting for these types of things?

 

Thank you so much, and I hope I was able to explain what I mean,

 

Rui

No on all counts. Alfred only supports plaintext snippets and you need rich text for what you want to do.

Hi deanishe,

 

Yeah, I was afraid that would be the case

 

Thank you so much, anyway.

I dunno if it's worth the price to you, but Typinator can do pretty much everything you'd ever want from a snippet expander.

Oh yes, I will do that. Thank you for the tip
