KJots has two basic items used to organize your notes - “Books” and “Pages”.
You can create a number of books in KJots, and each book can contain a number of pages, where you actually type your notes. Each book should be given a name (so you can find what you are looking for), as should each page. Although you aren't forced to give a page a name, it is sensible to do so.
To create a new book, use Ctrl+Shift+N or the menu entry ->, and you will be prompted to enter a name for the new book.
The name of the new book should now appear in the left part of the window. If you want the book to be in your “Bookmarks”, use Ctrl+B or the menu entry ->. You can even organize your bookmarks in separate folders just as you probably do in Konqueror.
If you want to have your books in a different order, you can simply drag and drop the book to the place where you want it to be.
Maybe you have noticed that there is no “Save” anywhere. This is not an error, KJots saves your books and pages automatically, so you will never lose that small note you write when you are on the phone and need to write down something in a hurry.
You can also export an entire book as a text file or as a html file, using ->. You will be then prompted to enter a location for the file to be saved. The format of an example saved book is shown below:
############ # First page ############ Remember to go to the shops! ############# # Useful code ############# 10 PRINT "HELLO WORLD" 20 GOTO 10 ################ # The third page ################ This is the third page and is an example for KJots.
Remember that the dialog where you are prompted for a filename is a standard KDE dialog. That means it is just as easy to store the file on your local hard disk as it is to save it on a web server, ftp server or USB memory stick. So you can export as html and save it on a webserver, this way you always have your notes available to you.
