A New Manual In AsciiDoc

Part 5

Meanwhile, the new year is already a few days old and the last holidaymakers are now also busy working again.

Of course, I took it down a notch over the holidays and worked mainly on administrative things for the new year. I also did some work on the website for the upcoming Merlin Project 8.1 release.

From this, the attentive reader can immediately see that I haven't written quite a lot on the new manual ... actually nothing at all 🤷‍♂️.

Reactions to previous posts

Nevertheless, I would like to respond to some mails that reached me after the fourth part. Many people are very interested in the variables and text substitutions. So this time I would like to give an important tip.

Our Price Guarantee

A brief information about our pricing policy:

The price for an existing, uncancelled Merlin Project subscription always remains the same - even if we raise the price for new customers.

You only get this price guarantee with us!

Merlin Project now also supports Noteplan

At the latest with version 3, Noteplan has become a serious representative of Markdown-based note-taking apps.

With the flexibility of Markdown - which lets you quickly write text and create tasks - the app also offers some options for recording and organizing tasks. Add tags and mentions very easily, speeding up your workflow with natural language typing and auto-completion of tags, mentions, and links.

The reason I got in touch was due to numerous requests from Merlin Project customers who also use Noteplan for further documentation: They were looking for an easy way to hand over their data.

That's how I met the owner and main protagonist this year; Eduard Metzger lives and works in Panama, so he enjoys not only the good weather there, but also an excellent infrastructure. As a result, he always makes a very relaxed impression in our conversations.

Thanks to our AppleScript interface we were able to realize a simple data transfer. A free sample script can be downloaded here.

A New Manual In AsciiDoc

Part 4

This week it finally worked again. My plan with the blocked time phases in the calendar went off. I was able to write almost continuously on Wednesday.

In the process, I noticed a few little things in AsciiDoc that I want to share with you.
