TextFold 0.10.27

Your notes stay on their passages when a PDF is converted again.

Notes on a PDF converted again

A PDF's paragraphs are numbered by their place. When you pressed Convert accurately on a PDF you had already marked, the new text could have more or fewer paragraphs, and a highlight or a question stayed on its old number: it then showed on another paragraph. Now each note finds its passage in the new text, as after a refold of a Markdown document.

• A paragraph that is still there, word for word, keeps its notes.
• An edited one is found by the words you marked.
• A note whose passage is gone stays, marked as not found.

In Obsidian, it is under Settings › Community plugins › Browse: search for TextFold Bridge. With the desktop app, set the plugin's Links › Open links in to TextFold app.
