Hello all,
I wanted to try and figure out a way to make cornell note templates for my classes. I would like to recreate something like this in anytype. Cornell Note Taking — The Best Way To Take Notes Explained | Goodnotes Blog Does anybody know a way to do this? Does anytype suppot vertical dividers? I really like the vertical design and would prefer that to a parallel design.
Any help or tips would be appreciated. I am just now learnign the ropes to anytype.
Something like this?
No vertical bar between the 2 columns, but you can propose a Feature Request (I wish I had this).
Yes, like that! I will have to propose a vertical bar. It could be very simple to implement. How were you able to set up two “rows”? I think that will work enough for me. Also, would you mind sending me that template? It pretty nice.
Here’s how to do the same
I suggest to directly create a new types to define relations and template which are a good match (and will allow this type to evolve without any problems).
Apply next step to your new type, or in the default type if you don’t want to create a specific one.
On the type, add relations you want
– Here, I’ll create “Cornell date” as date relation and “Cornell tag” as tag relation
(Actually, it’s better to name relationships specifically, AT doesn’t limit their scope)
Create a template
– Let the title empty (you cannot underline it but you can choose a text color or a background color)
– Enter the Relation menu (icone 
on the top right)
– Uncheck (clic the star) Object type and Descriptin to hide them from template
– Check Cornell date to add it to the top of your template
In the body
– add the horizontal bar by typing ---
– type /relation to add your “Cornell tag”
– Create the second column : put your cursor the line under, select the block and drag it to the right (or left)
of the top block
– Put another horizontal bar under (its can help to see where the “2 columns” ends)
– Now you can easily add “Questions” and color background if you want
– same for Key thoughts, here with the Callout format
– same for Summary, with bold (or subheading) and center if you wan
Gret, you can custom more (by the “layout” menu, visible by moving the mouse above the title : center the title, …)
When you’re good, close the template page and go back to your type .
Now, have fun with it 
And here the template 
You can import it with Protobuf format (I haven’t checked if it works properly):
