Keep a pasted note whole, and search the notes from the app
Two things found by using this on real notes. **The paste.** Copying out of Apple Notes put most of the note on the floor. WebKit wraps a copied selection in a single span carrying the computed style of everything in it — `font-weight: 700` included — with the real blocks nested inside. The serializer read that span as inline, so every line collapsed into one paragraph and every word came out bold; switching to the Markdown view then showed what little had survived, which is what "most of the text was gone" was. And because the boldness came from a foreign span's style rather than a tag, the bold button could not remove it. The rule now is that an element holding blocks is a block whatever its tag, and that a container's style is not emphasis — only a span wrapping a single run of text is. A paste this editor cannot read at all (some engines withhold the clipboard from the event) is tidied afterwards instead, but only if something actually arrived, so an empty paste still costs nothing. **The search.** A Suche tab over the user's own notes, reading the files rather than the index: notes reach the index only on a full crawl, so a lesson written this morning would not be findable this morning, which is most of what anyone searches their own notes for. A result names the lesson it matched in, not the day, for the same reason the index indexes day notes per section. Tapping one opens that day in the editor. Driven in Firefox against the real app with a proxied session: the paste, six switches between the two views, bold and unbold on pasted text, the search, and opening a result. 386 unit tests, 114/115 smoke.
