Hey,
I'm working on an add-in that will sync "To Do"-tags with a CalDAV-Server,
making them available on iPhones and Mozilla Thunderbird. Unfortunately
OneNote is making this very hard for two reasons:
1. <Meta>-elements can't be childs of <Tag>-elements, so they wouldn't
move with a <Tag>-element or be deleted if the user moves the <Tag> to
another <Outline> or even <Folder>. That means that <Tag>-Elements are hard
to identify uniquely, unless there's a good way to extend the OneNote
XML-Schema (for example: namespaced attributes)?
2. It seems that OneNote returns an error every time I try to add a new
namespace to a OneNote XML document. After trying to identify existing tags
uniquely (this would be my favorite solution), I wondered if I could
implement something along the lines of the built-in <OutlookTask>, but it
seems that OneNote actively prohibits additional namespaces in its XML.
So my question is this: does anyone have the right incantations or any ideas
on how to attach metadata to OneNote <Tag>-Elements or at least store your
own XML-Data in OneNote XML files?
Thank you and best regards.
