Plain Text, Rich Text, Formatted Note, or Markdown?

Hi @BLUEFROG,

I’d be curious to learn more about the well defined group structure you are using, and was wondering if you may be able to share a bit more details, as I have started a few month back to use Markdown exclusively for any self produced text in DT3 (aiming to make do without external editors) and am trying to figure out the best way of storing the images.

The options tried so far are:

  1. Grouping the Markdown document with a sub-group containing the images
  2. Creating a sub-group with the images on the same level as the Markdown document without grouping the the two
  3. Creating and using one dedicated group for images per database

Would you mind sharing how you generally store them?

What I’m also quite curious about is how you link to the image. From your post it appears you might be using a folder/file path, is that correct? If yes, is there a specific reason to prefer that way over using the DT3 item link?

In my trial and error process I’ve currently settled on using the DT3 item link, mainly to keep things flexible and ensure links don’t get broken should I move folders or files around in/restructure the database.

Thanks!
