Vint Prox<p>I'm still not out of the rabbit hole of searching for an <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/PersonalKnowledgeManagement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalKnowledgeManagement</span></a> software. 🐰</p><p>I'm gonna give a second try to <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fosstodon.org/@zettlr" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>zettlr</span></a></span> tomorrow! Their docs are *surprisingly* user-friendly and they claim to stick to the pure <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/CommonMark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CommonMark</span></a> where probable. It's all the while being nice to researchers with citing, inline usage of <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/TeXLaTeX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TeXLaTeX</span></a>, <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/MermaidJS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MermaidJS</span></a>, and pop-over <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/footnotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>footnotes</span></a>.

In fact, almost anything that closely follows the common spec and is <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/FreeSoftware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FreeSoftware</span></a> might suffice already.
