Note Taking

EmoTracker lets you attach Markdown-formatted notes and item references to individual locations. Notes are always available and require no configuration. They are saved and restored with your tracker save file.

A small pencil icon appears next to each location in the location list. The icon is white when the location has no notes, and highlighted in the active colour when at least one note exists.

Opening the notes panel

Click the pencil icon next to any location to open its notes panel. The panel floats next to the icon and stays open until you click elsewhere or close it.

Adding a note

Click Add note at the bottom of the notes panel. A new empty note appears with a text input area.

Writing notes in Markdown

Note text supports standard Markdown formatting. Some useful examples:

Syntax Result
**bold** bold
*italic* italic
`code` code
- item bullet list item
[link text](url) clickable hyperlink

While editing, you see the raw Markdown source. Once you commit the note, it is displayed as rendered HTML.

Pinning items to a note

Each note can have one or more tracker items attached to it as a visual reference. The item's current icon is shown alongside the note text.

To add an item to a note, click the item capture slot (the small box on the right side of the note row) and then click the item in the tracker grid you want to attach. To remove an attached item, click on it in the note row.

This is useful for leaving reminders like "come back here when you have the Hookshot" — attach the Hookshot to the note so the reminder is visually clear.

Deleting a note

Click the trash icon on the left side of the note row to delete it. Deletion is immediate and cannot be undone.

Saving and loading

Notes are serialised as part of EmoTracker's save file and are restored automatically when you load a save. Notes are cleared when a new pack is loaded or the current pack is reloaded.
