To select a note with fuzzy search and edit it (needs [fzf](https://github.com/junegunn/fzf)):
```sh
./notes.sh -l | fzf --tac --with-nth="2..-1" | xargs -o ./notes.sh -e
```
## Aliases
In day-to-day usage, you likely won't type the long commands for editing notes.
Just put the following aliases into `~/.bashrc` to make things easier:
```sh
# Type "nn" to create a new note
alias nn="notes.sh -n"
# Type "ne" to look up and edit an existing note
alias ne="notes.sh -l | fzf --tac --with-nth="2..-1" | xargs -o notes.sh -e"
```
## Publishing notes to HTML
If you want to publish your notes to the web, you can use a simple converter from
Markdown to HTML that I wrote, which is similar in spirit to notes.sh (simple, single-file script).
You can find it here: [markdown.awk](https://git.sr.ht/~knazarov/markdown.awk).
With it, you can do the following:
```
notes.sh --export <note id> | markdown.awk > result.html
```
