H2 Customize Format - I don't like italic :)

I really would like to customize my header styles (other styles). H2 on VS Code and Github is not italicized and triggers my OCD on Agenda (to the point where I don’t use it). But Markdown lint complains about missing H2 or using H1 multiple times.

Any thoughts on this (I fully admit it feels like a me thing).

Thanks!

We would certainly like to give more control over styling in future. Not sure yet exactly what form it would take (eg customize every style or theme sets), but it has been on the roadmap for a long time. Other projects keep getting in the way :frowning_face:

I agree. The Italic H2 and H4 headings do not look very good.

A good comparison could be Bear Notes (beta v2) that allows any font to be chosen for the headings and body text, as well a separate font for the fixed-width.

I think Agenda needs to implement 3 options at least.

  • Font style & size for headings
  • Font style & size for body text
  • Font style & size for fixed-width.

The number of font choices may still remain restricted to the current ones (or maybe a few more)… but the choice of style (bold, italic,etc…) and size is a must.

Again we want to stay away from turning Agenda into a Word processor, but we can see how in the future you could configure themes perhaps and in that way give more control.

I think the ability to just choose fonts (and maybe relative sizes) does not tread towards a full word processor… :wink:

Bear Notes does provide a limited set of font editing features… and it is not becoming a word processor either.

I agree that Agenda should NOT become a full fledged word processor… but I do think it can gain a few more bits than it has today !

I respect your wish to „stay away from a word processor“ but what we mean is, that we have problems in feeling familiar with our markdown writtings and keeping the overview.

Very basic implementation (maybe just text size, maybe style like bold and italic) would be such a great solution!

I’m not sure if I necessarily vote for control, and certainly am not in the word processor camp, but I’d love opinionated headings that just aren’t italicized :joy:

I like descriptive sub-headings with control over bold/italics. That, does not a word processor make! :smiley:

Especially now with FOLDING, I need to be able to have BOLD H2 more than Italic.

And cool work to keep pace with folding in Notes - I looked at that in beta, and then Agenda has it, works for me.

Just need BOLD H2 :slight_smile:

What I’ve found is that H2 & H4 cannot be changed from italic but can be bold but not using the formatting pop-up. H1 & H3 can be made Italics but not changed from bold. Again using the menus or shortcuts. Surely bold or italics isn’t considered in designating a heading, but looks like it is.
