These are fabulous. A 'Dates' collection would be nice: today's date, tomorrow's, yesterday's, next Thursday, next Thursday week, next Thursday fortnight, this month ("July 2011"), this week, and so on.

I can't get add as URL feature to work in TE, any ideas?

You're in luck the next update of Nebulous Notes will have MarkDown preview! Just finished coding it today.

I have just a few Markdown snippets. Their main purpose is to avoid switching keyboards to type punctuation characters.

<ul>
<li>hz inserts a #␣ for first-level (h1) headings</li>
<li>hhz inserts a ##␣ for second-level (h2) headings</li>
<li>hhhz inserts a ###␣ for third level (h3) headings</li>
<li>sz inserts a *␣ for unordered list items</li>
</ul>

In every case, the open box character (␣) represents a space.

Most of my iOS TE snippets use z as the terminal character because it's easy to type and rare in real words. I have TE set to ignore case in abbreviations specifically to avoid the iOS auto-capitalization problem Chris Lawrence mentions in the first comment.

I generally avoid snippets that put the cursor in the middle of text because I find moving the cursor on an iPhone a pain in the ass. Still, Brett's link snippet looks pretty good, and I will be stealing it.

Awesome. Quick posting to Tumblr efficiency just increased massively.

Looks like there's a typo on the '' snippet though. At the moment it's "percent-L" rather than "percent-pipe". Just to let you know!

Thanks for sharing!

I use Elements to take notes in class. I prefer writing in dot point, and I find it a bit tedious finding the * every time, so my TE snippet is Mdp which simply puts a * followed by a space. Simple but effective. The uppercase M is important because iOS auto-capitalises the first letter of each new line, although come to think of it I could just have the snippet insert a new line before the star.
