CHERRYTREE(1)
πΈ CHERRYTREE(1) β the girlies' guide to cherrytree πΈ
okay bestie, listen up π this is the manual page for cherrytree, sitting all pretty in the General Commands Manual section. it's a whole vibe, it's iconic, and we're gonna read it together. grab a snack π
β¨ NAME β¨
cherrytree β a hierarchical note taking application π
that's it. that's the name. she's a note-taking app and she's structured. periodt.
π SYNOPSIS π
cherrytree [-V] [-N] [filepath [-n nodename] [-a anchorname] [-x
export_to_html_dir] [-t export_to_txt_dir] [-p export_to_pdf_path] [-P
password] [-w] [-s]]
so the way you run her is you say cherrytree, and then optionally you start stacking flags like it's a fit check π
. there's the little lonely ones β -V, -N β and then there's a whole filepath situation that unlocks its own little squad of options: -n nodename, -a anchorname, -x export_to_html_dir, -t export_to_txt_dir, -p export_to_pdf_path, -P password, -w, and -s. all of them live inside that one bracket family, so mind your nesting, queen π
π DESCRIPTION π
okay so cherrytree is a hierarchical note taking application, and she's not doing the bare minimum, no ma'am. she's giving:
- rich text βοΈ
- syntax highlighting ποΈ
- images handling πΌοΈ
- hyperlinks π
- import/export with support for multiple formats π¦
- support for multiple languages π
- and more. yes, more. she's an overachiever and we love that for her π
like literally, whatever you're trying to do with notes, she probably already thought of it. main character energy, no cap.
π AUTHOR π
cherrytree was written by Giuseppe Penone <giuspen@gmail.com> and Evgenii Gurianov <https://github.com/txe>. absolute legends, both of them π«Ά
and this manual page? written by Vincent Cheng <Vincentc1208@gmail.com>, for the Debian project β and, as the page says, it may be used by others too. so if you're someone else using it: hi, you're welcome, slay π
ngl the AUTHOR section has two authors for the software and one for the docs, which is honestly so valid β building the thing and writing about the thing are two different jobs and both deserve their flowers πΈ
okay that's the whole page, you read it, you understood it, you ate that up π₯ now go take some hierarchical notes, bestie. this was cherrytree 0.99.49, from September 2022 β and your girl Vincent Cheng put this page together. mwah π bye!! π¦β¨
