Gnote
open-in-new
<h2 id="history-and-uses">History and uses</h2> <p>Gnote was created as a clone of <a href="/facts/Tomboy_(software)/b5HCveoo">Tomboy</a> written in <a href="/facts/C%252B%252B/Et0F2qn9">C++</a>, to remove the dependency on <a href="/facts/Mono_(software)/PlyeJxRS">Mono</a>. Its release caused a minor controversy when the creator was accused of having an anti-Mono agenda. This prompted him to explain that Gnote was written as an exercise in porting Mono applications and that it provides a note-taking application for environments that are unable to fit the Mono framework.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:2" href="#fn:2"><sup>2</sup></a> The program is included in <a href="/facts/Fedora_(operating_system)/LJ2ocge5">Fedora</a>,<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:3" href="#fn:3"><sup>3</sup></a> which dropped Mono from the <a href="/facts/Live_CD/J4bpHUs1">Live CD</a> installation disc, due to lack of space.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a> </p><p>Some Linux-compatible hardware platforms are not officially supported by Mono, and thus cannot run Tomboy or other Mono software. On these platforms and any other, Gnote can be used as a drop-in replacement for Tomboy. </p><p>Since version 3.5, Gnote has used GNOME version numbering scheme.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:5" href="#fn:5"><sup>5</sup></a> </p> <h2 id="features">Features</h2> <p>Some of the editing features supported by Gnote include: </p> <ul><li>Link to other notes</li> <li>Style text (bold, italic, strikeout, highlight)</li> <li>Change font size</li> <li>Create bulleted lists</li> <li>Undo and redo</li></ul> <h2 id="plugins">Plugins</h2> <p>Gnote supports plugins that add functionality: </p> <ul><li>Print individual notes</li> <li>Sticky Notes importer</li> <li>Export single notes to <a href="/facts/HTML/sSc3fT78">HTML</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Bugzilla/Inos49JP">Bugzilla</a> links</li> <li>Fixed width text</li> <li><a href="/facts/Tomboy_(software)/b5HCveoo">Tomboy</a> importer</li> <li>Backlinks, to see which notes link to the current note</li> <li>Underline text</li> <li>Insert timestamp</li> <li>Table of content</li></ul> <h2 id="see-also">See also</h2> <ul> <li>Free and open-source software portal</li></ul> <ul><li><a href="/facts/Comparison_of_note-taking_software/27dWExtb">Comparison of note-taking software</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Personal_wiki/zqjWzpKV">Personal wiki</a></li> <li><a href="/facts/Wiki_software/zNRxq6GV">Wiki software</a></li></ul> <h2 id="references">References</h2> <ol> <li id="fn:1"><p>Figuière, Hubert (July 27, 2009).
