I made a great discovery the other day. I use [Study Notes] extensively - as I am reading I will write notes into study notes. The other day I was considering if there was a way in E-sword to gather all [Study Notes] that address the same topic. In other software/websites - using tags would be a typical approach to do this.

 

Then I realized that there is nothing stopping me from doing that in E-sword even if it is not a native feature. So - I basically created a new [Topic Note] file where I keep track of all the #hashtags I use - example:

#healer - God is a healer and longs for us to work with him in that.

#kingdomofgod - teaching on the Kingdom of God - key components.

etc...

 

Then - simply - in my [Study Notes] - I will mark them by using one or more hashtags - simply putting them into the text (usually at the bottom). The final piece of the puzzle then is that if I want to see all [Study Notes] on #healer - I simply go to [Study Notes] search and search for #healer - and whola - all [Study Notes] with that #hashtag show up in less then a second.

 

The weak part of this is mispelling the hashtag - but that is not a big issue for me. As long as I keep track of what hashtags I am using in a central location - the rest is easy and convenient.

 

Hope this is helpful for someone.

 

Much grace! Agust

(Attached is an example of a search - note that I use Icelandic - #græðarinn means #healer in icelandic :-) ).

Hashtags are a great idea. Thanks for sharing this with us.

That is a great discovery 

 

your Idea of a central location

 

you can create a list of your hashtags as a topx and open them in the REF Library so you can have the topx editor open and taking notes  then copy and paste your tag from the reference window (you can use the paste into Topic note icon highlite the tag you want)

 

and you can always add a tag to the list by opening the topx in the topic editor

Same idea. I generally use square brackets. [likethis] then search for a exact match.

 

ie. [sin] [election] [grief]

After re-reading it, I think I understand how to implement. Thank you.
