Notes

Author:  Vincent, Silver Hand

Full and due credit to the original author: Andersen, Silvermoon

Versions beyond 1.4a:

Notes is a fantastic mod that fills a needed niche.  Since the original author seems to have abandoned the project and since it is too lovely a rose to let wither, I've taken over "keep alive" support for the mod.  No new features are currently planned and any that may find their way into it will be on an 'as time allows' basis as this is not the only mod I maintain.

Summary:

Notes keeps track of notes in an easy-to-use GUI. Raid leaders and raid assistants can print notes to raid chat.  Notes marked as "sync" will  synchronize notes that are printed by someone else using the notes mod who set their note to 'sync'.

Furthermore, any note can be executed as a LUA script and called via a macro.  The macro script necessary to execute the Notes script is easily visible.  This

essentially makes a nearly unlimited macro length.  Notes can also hook into the OnUpdate and OnEvent calls that WoW makes while playing for easy Add-On Development.

Thanks to Salamengel and Merphle (Author of LuaPad)  for inspiration. Thanks to Sumul and Shinsplitter for suggestions.

use /notes to show the GUI

Features:

* Multiple notes and easy navigation

* Lock notes

* Revert changes to last time the GUI was shown

* Fully functional LUA mode/macro editor

* Note synchronization

---

Note: Printing a note will stagger the information printed so raiders have a time to read the entire note as you print it.  If you type a message while a note is being printed, syncing will not work.

Note: Notes will not sync via whispers or channels between versions 1.1x and 1.2+

        * Changed the "Go to" page button to link back to the table

                of contents page if you are currently looking at a page

                > Pressing enter after manually typing in a page will

                  still navigate to that page

        * The Table of Contents page is a scrollable list of page links,

                which should make book navigation much better

        * Raid syncing will no longer report an error to people in your

                guild who are in different raids

                the page itself is not set to sync

        * Notes that exist must be flagged as sync to

                overwrite it with new data.  Notes that are

                not marked sync will not be overwritten

        * Able to sync multiple notes simultaneously now

                (Still only one note can be synchronized at

                at a time per person)

        * Fixed undo functionality

        * Sync notes uses the new CHAT_MSG_ADDON channel

        * The LUA - Setup note is now executed on start up
