PlugIns: Below is a list of the PlugIns that initially come with QuickNote and what they do. PlugIns only work on the current text selected. • Capitalize Sentences Will capitalize the first letter of the first word of each sentence. • Capitalize Words Will Capitalize The First Letter Of Each Word. • Convert %Hex [e.g., %09 = Tab] This will convert any hex symbols (e.g., “%09”, “%0D”, “%0A”, etc.) into the appropriate character (e.g., “%09” = the tab character, “%0D” = the return character, “%0A” = the linefeed character). This is useful if you receive MIME encoded email which will convert certain characters into the hex symbols. • Convert CRs to CR/LFs Will convert every CR (the return character) into a CR/LF (return/line feed) character combination for system such as DOS that use the CR/LF in text files. • Convert CRs to LFs Will convert every CR (the return character) into a LF (line feed) character for system such as DOS that use line feeds in text files. • Convert LFs to CRs Will convert every LF (line feed) into a CR (the return character) character for converting text from systems such as DOS that use line feeds in text files. • Convert spaces to 1 space Will convert multiple spaces into one space. • Make lowercase Will convert selected text to all lowercase. • Make Smart Quotes Will convert any " or ' characters into a “” or ‘’ character. • Make Smart Quotes Dumb Will convert any “” or ‘’ characters into a " or ' character. • Make UPPERCASE Will convert selected text to all UPPERCASE. • Phone Letters to Numbers Will convert any uppercase characters into numbers for phone dialing (e.g., 1-800-CALL-MEE will be converted to 1-800-2255-633). • Phone Number Dialer This will produce tones that can actually dial a phone number for you using the internal speaker of your Macintosh (or external speakers if you have any). You must hold the mouth piece of your phone close to the speaker of your Macintosh to be able to use this feature. A phone number will dial only if the first character selected is a number. Also, the comma character will pause dialing for one second. • Strip This is useful if you receive email and your email program does not know how to display html tags sometimes sent via email. Basically, it removes any text between and including the < and > characters. Here’s an example: “
Hello! How are you today? ” after selecting the text above, and running the Strip on it you would get this: “ Hello! How are you today? ” • Strip Control Characters Will remove any characters with an ASCII value less than 32 (except for tabs, returns and form feeds). • Strip CR/LFs Will remove any line feed characters and will then follow the same rules as Strip CRs (defined below). • Strip CRs Will remove the return characters and replace them with spaces only if the next line after a CR does not begin with a space or tab character (and if there are at least 40 characters in the line before the CR). You can change the Minimum Line Length from 40 to whatever you like if you hold down the option key while selecting this PlugIn. • Strip Leading Spaces Will remove any spaces from the beginnings of any lines in the selected text. • Strip LFs Will remove any line feed characters from the selected text.
