Math rendering seems arbitrary and sometimes behaves in unwanted ways. Getting out of preview also seems arbitrary. In my case, text following a simple line such as
Xh @ Y $/h = Y$
renders everything following Y in math mode. Not sure what triggers the math rendering but it it annoying and affects readability.

Please add an option to autosave documents when edited, so that I do not have to explicitly click the save button. If anything, I would want a revert button to undo autosaved changes since I last clicked the save button. It's more likely that I want the document saved when I exit, and very infrequently, I want to revert those changes when I mess up my document.

I have tried the current development version. In my opinion, the new "Combined preview and directory pane"-feature is impractical for the workflow. Can you please make it optional via settings?

I am using Zettlr under Windows 10, and I am experiencing the infamous ASCIIbetical vs Natural sort order issue in the Zettlr preview pane. Windows Explorer implements Natural sort order, but it seems Zettlr is offering only ASCIIbetical or filesize. For info on this, see Sorting for humans, and here for a solution in JavaScript. The precise details of my issue are below.

I have a document made up of several sections, named like this (I've missed out intermediate files):

§0 Introduction.md
§10 Of modernity....md
§20 The Table of Dreams.md
§30 The degradation of language.md.
… …
§100 Pizza, birra, faso (1997).md
§110 Mundo grúa (1999).md
§120 Cultured_Cities.md
§130 Works Cited.md

When I look at these files in Windows File Explorer, they are in Natural order (when ordering by title). However, when I look at them in the Zettlr document preview, the order is ASCIIbetical, i.e. 0, 10, 100, 110, 120, 130, 20, 30. When I hover over the top of the pane, there are two buttons, one showing A-Z, which gives the non-natural order. The other shows increasing line sizes, and that one gives what I think is an ordering by file size.

Lastly, with a PowerShell one-liner I can easily compile all the *.md files to a single document in Natural order with pandoc, but I'd like to be able to see them in Natural order in Zettlr, otherwise it is difficult to work with the files! Clearly this should be a user-selectable option, because not all filesystems implement Natural sorting order.

To be clear, I think the JavaScript solution for sorting the array of files is:

var collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, {numeric: true, sensitivity: 'base'});
var myArray = ['1_Document', '11_Document', '2_Document'];
console.log(myArray.sort(collator.compare));

… but I haven't tested it.

Description

When Zettlr is open and showing a document in a project directory, and if another process mass-updates files (e.g. mass-reverting uncommitted changes in git, mass-updating files using find + sed in a bash shell, etc.), Zettlr seems to get overwhelmed with the number of changes, and deletes some of the files. Fortunately I have not lost files, because I have git running on my important markdown folder.

Reproducing

Method 1: Have a git-controlled directory with a Zettlr project containing a large number of files in directories and subdirectories (I don't know how many required to reproduce, but I have more than 20). One of the files should be open in Zettlr. Each file should have a minor change you don't care about. Use git / GitHub desktop, to revert all changes at once. Zettlr asks if you want to reload the currently open file. Its screen fills with "File changed by external process" (or similar message). Shortly after, check in Git, and some of the files (not all) will have been deleted subsequent to the revert.

Method 2: Have a set of 20 or so utf8 markdown files with a BOM in a project directory that is open in Zettlr (with one of the files open in editor). Using a bash shell (I'm using WSL), run
find -iname \*.md -type f -exec sed -i '1s/^\(\xef\xbb\xbf\)\?//' {} +
(This removes the BOM, if present, on all files.) Zettlr detects the change and asks to reload current file, while its display fills with messages about changed files. Check in Git. Apart from the changes to each file, you will see that some of the files are also deleted.

The deletions do not occur if Zettlr is closed.

Expected behaviour

Reload the currently open file, and not touch the others.

Platform

• OS: Windows 10
• OS Version: 1803
• Zettlr Version: 0.20

Additional information

I only tested under Windows. I reproduced it when mass-updating in three scenarios: mass-updating with GitHub Desktop; mass-updating using the WSL bash shell; mass-updating files using a PowerShell script. In each case, the deletions occur only while Zettlr is open.

Workaround

Remember to close Zettlr before doing mass operations on files!

It would be nice to have forward and backward navigation keys (mouse forward/backward)

I find that some characters which get automatically entered (for example, when I type `, a matching ` gets inserted automatically after cursor position) give me more trouble than benefit: I often have to edit them afterwards, which can get twiddly, and kinda interferes with my "flow" of writing. Personally, I'd prefer to disable this feature; I'm a fast typer, so it's not a trouble for me to enter the matching characters by hand.

Since this can be done relatively easily in pandoc, it shouldn't be difficult to add it as an option in Zettlr. Currently, projects can only be compiled into pdf format from inside Zettlr. What I would like is for Zettlr optionally to run a command like this for me:

pandoc -s "Intro.md" "chap1.md" "chap2.md" "chap3.md" "chap4.md" "Conclusion.md" -o My_Book.docx -f markdown -t docx --standalone --top-level-division=chapter --toc

(I'm aware pandoc ignores some of those options with docx format, it's more of a wishlist!) OK, I'm lazy, I could just run it myself in pandoc, but since Zettlr is aimed at Arts and Humanities researchers, most of my colleagues and students would freak out if you ask them to run a command-line program. And most publishers unfortunately want work submitted as docx, and won't accept pdf for obvious reasons.

This is for a new Feature.

When writing taks list

- [ ] Buy milk
- [x] Buy bread
- [ ] Buy eggs

Would be great to preview it as checkboxes that we could check/uncheck only by clicking each task

• Buy milk
• Buy bread
• Buy eggs

The documentation isn't very clear on how to import images into a file in Zettlr. I'm using a Windows PC for reference.

https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/userinterface#_open-editors

Useful for keeping documents regularly edited available for easy access. I would prefer that it be a separate section above the preview pane, so that you can scroll through open/pinned documents and the preview pane separately.

I've been exploring Zettlr, and it looks like it could be exactly what I've been looking for as a research/writing application. The one problem I'm running into is the display. I have an older, non-widescreen monitor (19" I think) set at 1024x768 resolution, and the editor just doesn't display well on it. The amount of writing space is limited, especially given the generous margins. The lines of text display at only about seven words long, and I have to close the tree view and zoom out once or twice to get to something more usable.

I'm also finding the text itself a bit on the pale side. The lines are thinner to start with than in some fonts, and once I've zoomed out they appear closer to medium grey than to black. If some accommodation could be made to systems like mine it would make the app a lot more accessible.

It would make what each button does a lot clearer to me while editing.

Description

Similar to #14, I'm getting these errors across each directory, and each file in a directory upon opening Zettlr, or when adding any new directories. The error continues:

Uncaught Exception:
Error: watch /home/jacklenox/Documents/Zettlr ENOSPC
    at _errnoException (util.js:1024:11)
    at FSWatcher.start (fs.js:1386:19)
    at Object.fs.watch (fs.js:1412:11)
...

(Let me know if you'd like full output. I can't copy/paste for some reason.)

Reproducing

It happens when opening Zettlr with any directory opened, or when adding new directories to Zettlr.

Expected behaviour

No errors.

First of all congrats for this awesome app!

I encountered a problem when previewing images because they get scalled to all window app full width.

This is a problem when makeing a document with small images.

Could you make that the images maintain their oriiginal height and width, and don't resize them to a bigger size than original ?

Of course, images may be down resized if they are bigger than the window width but please don't scale them to a bigger size.

I've recently discovered Zettlr, and I'm trying to use it to organize multiple, dispersed files I have into an academic book, i.e. to use Zettlr rather like Scrivener. I love the concept and what has been achieved so far with your project. One issue I've encountered at the outset: I need to rework articles and book chapters that have endnotes, and I want to work on different sections of these documents as different markdown files in a project folder, while keeping the references in a separate file in the same folder. This currently works when compiling the project to a PDF (although the endnotes all become footnotes) but of course the tooltip is empty, and it's not possible to export just a section, say, to Word with its endnotes/footnotes.

Regarding the tooltip, I'm guessing it would be relatively simple -- a case of adding some code at https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/blob/develop/source/renderer/zettlr-editor.js#L545 to search the contents of a specified file for the reference note. The filename pattern would ideally need to be user-specified, as it is language dependent (e.g., I might want a filename matching /#\d+.?references/i in English, but /#\d+.?referencias/i in Spanish, or I might want /\d+.endnotes/i).

Regarding exporting a document section with notes from the references file, I imagine it's a little more complicated and would be a separate but related issue.

By the way, as an academic working in the arts (with some knowledge of JS coding), the subtle reference to Rancière on the Zettlr home page brought a smile to my face :-) .

It would be nice if Zettlr would support the markdown interchange format Texbundle, see http://textbundle.org/

Hi,
I would suggest to add syntax highlighting feature in markdown code blocks.

Hello.

I would love if this app had support for mathematical equations using LaTeX's syntax, where two dollar signs are user for inline equations: $ your formula $. And four are used for paragraph equations.

$$
your formula
$$

An example of this can found in typora.

I have a directory opened from my DropBox folder and each time any file that is saved, Zettlr throws me a message:

The current file has been modified remotely. Replace in editor ? And i only edit it from Zettlr

This popup message is very annoying when editing several files, because i must accept the alert each time.

Perhaps a configuration option to accept/cancel allways automatically ?

If I have say, three headings like:
# Heading 1
## Heading 2
# Heading 3

It should show under the TOC as this:

1. Heading 1
   1.1. Heading 2
2. Heading 3

Currently the full stops after the ordinals are missing.

Hey,

I've now received error reports from multiple persons that relate to so-called ENOSPC-errors; mainly on Linux systems, but there were instances of these errors occurring on Windows (thanks to @damien122 for reporting this in issue #13).

While I was always unsure as to why this happens, because I never experienced these errors on any platform, and they seemed to be completely random, I now know why they occur.

The errors are related to the hard-coded maximum amount of file handles that can be opened simultaneously by an app on each operating system. As has been written in this thread on StackOverflow, one could manually increase the amount of files.

But as this is unfeasible for all systems, and I don't want to mess with environment variables, there are two options:

1. Simply notifying the user that the current directory simply contains too many files for the chokidar-plugin to use and that the directory will therefore not be monitored and external changes cannot be reflected by the app.
2. Which I deem the better one: Throwing out chokidar in favor of a complex implementation of "pulses" that are sent through the directory trees every like 30 seconds to re-scan the contents and reflect potential changes and simply fs.watch() the currently opened file directly.

Any thoughts on that?

It's fine to grey-out the backslash itself, but the character following it is a literal and therefore is intended to be what it is. For example, if I write myname\@myuniversity.ac.uk currently Zettlr greys out both the backslash and the @ sign. Now I realize I probably don't need to write @ as a literal, but pandoc seems to do it anyway when converting from other formats. Maybe a better case is this (sentence entirely fictional):

L.P. Hartley wrote that "\[t\]he past is a foreign country; they do things differently \[…\]". You will rightly complain that this quotation is incomplete, but that is my point.

Again, maybe I don't need to put the backslashes in, because it's not interpreted as an href, but pandoc puts them in to avoid ambiguity, and the result is I can hardly see the greyed out brackets in Zettlr, and they're peppered through the work I'm converting.

Thanks for your help.

Allow documents in folders and subfolders to be sorted chronologically or by title as a single list. This is different from the current organizational scheme, which keeps documents grouped by their subfolders.

When I try to install/update current deb package via "dpkg --install Zettlr-linux-x64-0.15.2.deb", I get the following error message:

I downloaded it serveral times with different browsers, tried to install it with gdebi, nothing works. So i assume the deb package ist corrupted.

Hi. I've recently started working on implementing a zettelkasten system and discovered your app a few weeks ago been indecisive on what to use but this is pretty much what I've been looking for.

Though there are two issues that while not game-breaking are bit annoying for my zettelkasten workflow.

The first and the main one is a problem with file sorting and subfolders. I am a noob so maybe I just missed something, but while we can sort files #4 now they are still nested under subfolders if there are any. I use timestamps like 20181001174801 in file names for sorting purposes and for ID purposes.

The problem is that if I have notes "2017" "2018" "2019" "2020" "2021" (with 2019 and 2020 in a subfolder) it looks like this

"Folder"

"2017"
"2018"
"2021"

"Subfolder"

"2019"
"2020"

I want all notes in all subfolders of a given folder be in a single list so that I can fully use the sorting by timestamps. It would be nice if there was a setting for preview pane to list just the files and sort them as if there weren't subfolders.

It seems to be possible to work around this with virtual directories though it would be nice if it weren't necessary. Using this method would also be quite hassle with larger number of files, there doesn't seem to be a way to select multiple files at once, or maybe again I am a noob and just missed something.

The second lesser issue is with tags. Since you are familiar zettelkasten you may have seen some people use tags like ##sometag instead of #sometag for overview notes and special stuff.

The way it is now Zettlr will recognize a tag but it will ignore the first hashtag so this is the result ##sometag. You can get around this by putting the whole thing in global search but It would be good if Zettlr recognized these tags, these tags should othewise act like normal tags.

On another note I just want to say that I've tested the app 10 000 dummy md files (in a single folder) and it worked quite good did the same with 20 000 still worked quite good, today I tested it with 30 000 and searched for "the" in every file and while of course it did take some time it worked.

I've tested up to 20 000 QOwnNotes Atom, VSCode and Rene's sublimeless Zk.

Zettlr and QOwnNotes seemed to have best perfomance (though it took a little while for QOwnNotes to launch with that many files it ran smooth afterwards) similar with Zettlr at 30 000.

Currently I can't find the functionality to search and replace with Zettlr. Maybe it's possible somehow through Regexp but alas, I have no grasp of those :D

Maybe CMD/CTRL+F to search normally (visualize how many results somewhere).

CMD+Shift+F or CMD+Shift+H (as in VSCode) to open Search and Replace.

Is this hard to implement? If you point me where the search functionality is defined, I might try to do a pull request.

Also, are you in need of localization help?

Example: I have a book project with several chapters. Each chapter has its own footnotes numbered sequentially from 1 to xx. When I export the project to PDF in Zettlr, footnotes from later chapters get assigned to footnote reference markers from earlier chapters.

I realize this is more of a pandoc issue, but it would be a major show stopper for your target audience, so it's worth working around if possible. #42 might mitigate, but it doesn't solve the problem of how to get the separate chapters into Zettlr and renumber all footnotes in the first place. Also, most books by most publishers, especially edited books, restart footnote numbers per chapter. So I think this is a separate issue from #42..

Workaround 1: Under the hood, Zettlr could assign a unique chapter identifier to each note, since notes don't have to be numeric only.

Workaround 2: Use the pandoc option of writing a footnote inline using the syntax:

Some text^[Text of footnote.]

Drawback is that footnotes can't have more than one paragraph, and they clutter up the main text. Advantage is ease of writing and editing footnotes. I've tested this option, and pandoc produces correctly numbered foot-of-the-page footnotes when exporting the project.

As this is a severe "bug", I think the Export function should throw up a specific warning about footnotes needing to be unique, until Zettlr can handle this automatically.

It would be nice if it where possible to add writing targets to folder and files (word counts that should be reached).

Description

In Zettlr file (a) I create a link to another Zettlr file (b) using either the path or the ID.
The link turns green, confirming the path (or ID) is valid.
Clicking on the text with link, in file (a), opens the (link_path_or_ID) as text in file (a) but does not open file (b) as expected.

Using Zettlr 0.20.0 on Linux Mint 18.1

I would love to see a navigation area for tags in the tree view. It could include all tags used in all files in the current root folder.

Each tag could contain each other tag it is combined with. So for example:

File1.md tagged with t1, t2
File2.md tagged with t2
File3.md tagged with t2, t3

The tag tree could look like this:

|- t1
| |-t2
|-t2
| |-t1
| |-t3
|-t3
| |-t2

Clicking on a tag could issue a corresponding search for this tag / tag combination.

This is tremendously useful to structure information collected with the Zettelkasten methodology.

Absolutely love this project. I am simply annoyed I didn't know about it earlier.

What I absolutely need in an editor is the ability to handle footnotes and you have that integrated nicely. It's not markdown's greatest strength but it's too often neglected. I have to suggestions for your consideration:

1. Please, please add a shortcut for footnotes. I use them so often and I prefer not to leave the keyboard for them if possible. It does not appear that you have Ctrl+Alt+F linked to anything (and that's MS Word's shortcut) and it would be great to be able to insert it quickly.

2. This one is a much bigger ask, but here we go. Since you aim (Thank you!) for the humanities, you know that we use a lot of notes. If at all possible, it would be great to be able to have the footnotes in a sidebar and not right below the text. That would be an improvement even on MS Word in my opinion.

Thank you greatly for this project.

Hello Nathan,

Unfortunately, there is no good way to keep these items separate, and it focuses more on how I think of the scope of Zettlr. So this will be a longer post, and hopefully can spur further discussions as separate topics when focusing more on implementation. The overarching theme in this post is that we should treat documents as tasks, so that we can have Zettlr help you better manage when you work on and review documents.

Unlike many apps that are trying to solve problems of editing text or introduce a novel but difficult technology, I think of Zettlr as a tool focused on facilitating the writing process, and features built into the app should be built around that.

The most comparable app I can think of which takes a very similar approach (with a slightly larger scope) on mobile devices is Matcha (http://www.matchaapp.com/), and I and the developer have spent a lot of time thinking through different features of the app, some of which might also translate well to Zettlr, and I thought I would add them here.

But first, I'll focus a bit on tabbed view, which we had started discussing in issue #9. I like apps that present documents that may be relevant to me for what I am doing. That is the very reason why I dislike the way tabs are usually used, to keep all documents that might be of interest open. You ultimately end up with any document from any context that might be of importance, and it becomes a mess. Tabs are not designed for context, but for quick access to everything. They deter you from staying focused.

A file tree kind of works that way, but still does not filter the document list enough. Any document of relevance to a context would be located in the folder of consideration, and the few documents of importance are scattered amongst them. Explicitly identifying the few documents of importance helps you quickly shift between important documents needed in a context. Marking documents as starred with metadata (starred: yes is added at the top of the document as a multimarkdown metadata) addresses this somewhat, but the importance of a documents changes with respect to time and with respect to other documents and folders. So instead, I propose a pin to metadata be recognized in Zettlr (which we had started implementing in Matcha). Here are some examples:

pin-to: morning
pin-until: 2018-03-31
pin-to: folder(project1)
pin-to: document(task-list.markdown)
pin-between: 2018-02-26 to 2018-03-31
pin: always

This metadata could show the documents in a calendar view, at the top of the preview pane in specific folders, or in something like a research sidebar we discussed.

Basically, you are able to say when a document should be considered as important, and when it is, it would be emphasized by Zettlr. To make it easier to cross-reference documents and folders in metadata and while writing, we also have considered allowing users to add a user-assigned label/short-hand to the file name or metadata. For example, in the file name "[ShortFileName] - fullFileName.md", you could use [ShortFileName] as an alias to refer to the document "[ShortFileName] - fullFileName.md" within a markdown file, with the following syntax (ex. "pin-to: [[ShortFileName]]"). You can do the same thing with folders, and chain labels/short-hand together to make reference from other folders quick ([ShortFolderName][ShortFileName].

Similarly, I noticed that Zettlr had a pomodoro timer. It's an interesting scope added to Zettlr, that could be extended further. I would suggest adding more features to enable Zettlr to enable Zettlr to suggest documents to work on. Treat documents like tasks, that can be assigned to checklists and a calendar. You could have Zttlr to show you documents you need to finish in the next week, and documents that you should review in the morning, or on a certain date.

Any way to resize inserted images?

Description

Text in the "code blocks" is sometimes over-eagerly formatted (as Markdown). Those blocks should rather be exempt from any formatting, other than making the font fixed width.

Reproducing

Type the following markdown into Zettlr:

# Problems in code blocks
```
Some Markdown is still parsed in code blocks. Especially problematic for
comments in scripting languages:
# this gets converted to a heading

Instead of being formatted fully with fixed-width, fixed-size font, some areas of the block get formatted with variable-size and variable-width font. More details are present in the text of the block above, as well as in the attached screenshot further below. Specifically, what I noticed:

• lines starting with # are formatted as headings;
• on lines starting with whitespace (indented lines), the whitespace width does not match the width of non-whitespace characters in the fixed-width font;
• URLs are formatted with variable-width font, and different font size & color.

Expected behaviour

All the text in the ```-fenced area should be formatted purely with fixed-width font, with non-variable font size.

Platform

• OS: Ubuntu Linux
• OS Version: Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS
• Zettlr Version: 0.19.0
• Screen Resolution [only necessary if the bug is relating to the GUI]

A Distraction-free mode would keep the focus on the editor and hide other unnecessary UI elements until you exit the mode. User could select to dim text not in the same sentence or paragraph as the cursor is currently on while this mode is active.

Sometimes a file gets changed and Zettlr doesn't detect it. Would be cool to have an option to reload files.

It would be great if you could show a preview of images or tables added tot the document within the editor. Not sure what the best way to approach it would be, though. I was thinking of a tiny unobtrusive button next to images and tables you could click for a preview, or maybe hovering over it.

I noticed Zettlr regularly needs to send data over the internet protocols.

Q1: What Regular Data is Sent from us by Zettlr via internet?

Q2: is it sent by secure protocls

Q3: What user data do you keep?

I have disabled data transfer by Zettlr with the Comodo Firewall until I find out what data is being transferred..

Thanks.

Will be tackled together with the TextBundle-Support. Zettlr should receive CriticMarkup-Abilities making it easy to comment/annotate documents just as in Word or LibreOffice.

I'm interested in having the ability to follow links in Markdown documents, especially links to other Markdown documents that are contained in the same directory.

I have a set of Markdown documents that I keep notes in, and they have links to each other in them. I also have a table of contents Markdown document that links to all of the others.

Currently, I can do this with Visual Studio Code and Notepad++. For Notepad++ the "open file" command (ctrl + j by default) will follow markdown links.

I would much prefer to use an actual Markdown editor (like Zettlr) for these documents.

Thanks!

Please enable URLs in the document to be clickable so it is easy to open up the linked website.

For example, Dropbox, OneDrive, and Documents Folder can all be available in the Sidebar.

Description

Footnotes are not displayed properly when there is a […](...) link in the same sentence.

Reproducing

Paste the following real-world example textually into a new Zettlr document:

This is a form of *bricolage*, to use the term Jacques Derrida adopted from Claude Lévi-Strauss.[^1] Indeed, it aims to make the *bricolage* process explicit, a form of [autopoietic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autopoiesis) writing.

[^1]: Derrida, Jacques, “Structure, Sign and Play in the Discourse of the Human Sciences”, *Writing and Difference*, trans. by Alan Bass (London: Routledge, 2005 \[1967\]), pp. 351-70 (360ff).

In Zettlr, visually it looks like this:

Expected behaviour

Show the footnote correctly, and not assume it is part of the hyperlink.

Platform

Pandoc creates a table of contents for a markdown file (using the switch --toc), in which internal document links look like this:

[Tangos, photography, and film](#tangos-photography-and-film)

It would be brilliant if Zettlr were able to follow such links. It would need to use the same algorithm as pandoc for omitting punctuation, etc., but since Zettlr already has the logic to search for tags, it's really just a case of adapting the existing logic with a dynamically constructed regex successively matching a # and then the parts between the hyphens along the same line.

On a similar vein, but in this case linking to other files, it is a bit surprising that Zettlr can follow a link to another file constructed with Wiki-style links like this:

[[My awesome markdown file]]

… but it can't follow a link with a more standard markdown syntax like this:

(The greatest document of all)[My awesome markdown file]

In fact I can't get it to follow relative hyperlinks at all, no matter how I construct them. Could the second syntax be supported, and ideally also support actual relative hyperlinks of the type
(link)[my subdirectory/my file.md]?

It would be great to have a pane to the right of the editor that could show attachments like pdfs and images that exist in the same folder and subfolders of the document open. Double clicking on the attachment would open it in the system viewer.

It would be nice to have a menu or button for changing the root folder instead of using ctrl+o as a shortcut.
