Import

Import and format guide

Simply Zone reads any plain-text (.txt) file. A little formatting helps it detect sections and entries accurately.

Basic requirements

  • Plain .txt format only, saved as UTF-8.
  • Separate entries with a blank line.

Section detection

Simply Zone finds sections automatically when titles stand on their own line in capitals.

  • Put each section title in CAPITALS on its own line.
  • Supported formats include SECTION I, SECTION ONE, and 01 MY SECTION TITLE.
  • For mixed files, use an all-caps title above each group (for example, SHOPPING).

Optional: table of contents

  • Include a CONTENTS section listing the section titles.
  • A table of contents improves section-detection accuracy.

Exports from other apps

  • Most apps can export a plain-text file; that export is what to import here.
  • Headers, footers and separator lines are removed automatically on import.

Example

Put together, it looks like this:

SECTION ONE

The first line of the example, kept short enough
to read comfortably on a phone.

A blank line starts a new block.

SECTION TWO
