Zettlr

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ We are pleased to announce Zettlr 4.9.0. Two crucial changes: 1. No more annoying "Update failed" errors! 2. Updates Electron, so drops support for old macOS and Ubuntu, but also fixes a critical security vulnerability. Update highly recommended! github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

Another update: we have implemented a feature request, and from the next version onward, Zettlr is capable of rendering reference-style images, closing the gap to the CommonMark specification of Zettlr’s WYSIWYG mode.

Many have certainly noted that version 4.8.0 tends to give you way too many undesired "Update check" error messages. We have now found the issue and will release a new update soon-ish. Stay tuned!

+++ DOCUMENTATION UPDATE +++ We have updated the documentation to reflect the arrival of admonitions, and to document additional undocumented syntax such as attributes or fenced divs. docs.zettlr.com/en/syntax/

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ We are proud to present Zettlr 4.8.0. Most prominently, this release brings support for admonitions (or callouts/alerts) to the app. Make sure to read the changelog, and get the new update in the usual places in the coming days: zettlr.com/post/zettlr-...

Heads up! Are you using Ubuntu 17.04 or macOS 12 (Monterey)? Then the next-next update (not the coming one) will NOT work on your computer. Should you be using an old OS, make sure to update it to be able to use Zettlr AFTER the next version!

Did you know that Zettlr understands cross-references and aids you in referring to plots and tables inside your documents? The feature now has its own documentation page. Learn how to enable and use cross-references in your papers here: docs.zettlr.com/en/editor/cr...

+++ ANNOUNCEMENT +++ We have just launched a complete overhaul over Zettlr’s aging documentation. It is now based on Vue, much faster, more efficient, and just in general a better experience. Do you like the new design? Learn more and share your thoughts on our blog: zettlr.com/post/a-new-d...

Admonitions are coming to Zettlr! What has long been demanded finally makes its way into the app. There's some work still to be done, but the biggest part is done. See more at github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

After working around an odd bug of GitHub that their team has been unable to fix for more than a week, the Zettlr update API should now finally find the 4.7.0 update. To update, you can now check for updates from your app again, and Zettlr will offer you to update to 4.7.0.

Apparently there seems to be an issue with the GitHub API, which prevents the internal updater of Zettlr to show the new 4.7.0 update. Until that is fixed, you can just download the corresponding installer from the release page directly and install it manually. Sorry! github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

+++ NEW RELEASE +++ We’ve just released Zettlr 4.7.0! Key highlights: custom shortcuts, separate editor theme, and loads of little fixes and improvements! Get it now or within the coming days at the usual places! www.zettlr.com/download

Great news — the custom shortcuts implementation just got into the main development branch, meaning it’ll ship with the next update! Stay tuned, it’s not long out! Coming soon with Zettlr 4.7.0

While we Europeans are currently sweating, we're also building something great and often-requested: custom shortcuts! But to deliver the feature well, we'd love to hear: Which editor shortcuts would you like to customize? Drop your answer below and we'll see to fulfill many of your wishes!

Only a few more days … 👀

We have just released the possibly final beta release before we can move Zettlr 4.0 to stable! If you'd like to have a sneak peek to what we have in stock, take a look here 👇🏼 github.com/Zettlr/Zettl...

A recent feature we just added is Lua filters! The assets manager now exposes the Lua filters for your exports with Pandoc for easy management. Coming with version 4.0.

By popular demand, we have added in Zettlr 4.0 the ability to instantaneously toggle between a raw Markdown source-code editing experience, and a WYSIWYG writing experience. This toggle will be available in the statusbar.

For Zettlr 4.0, we decided to give the Zettelkasten workflow a little glow-up. We have streamlined the settings, and fully embrace the ability to set link labels for any internal link.

For Zettlr 4.0, we have put some extra effort in rewriting the citation parser. Now, your citations will be properly highlighted and detected. This improves performance, user experience, and implements more citation features. Oh, and the citation renderer now properly detects crossrefs!

One of the most-anticipated new features of the next release of Zettlr is a fully-rewritten table editor. No more data loss, easier insertion, and much more support for syntax highlighting, citations, math, and more!

Another new exciting feature of Zettlr 4.0 is a brand-new image and PDF viewer. Now you can cross-reference plots and research literature right within the app.

Nerd time. Zettlr is an open-source writing tool that I've used for years. It's great. Coolest feature: You can hyperlink your notes offline. Check it out.

Another place that has received a glow-up for the upcoming Zettlr 4.0 is the statistics window. We've improved the calendar view with a proper heatmap, and the chart view with a proper, readable bar chart that is easier to parse.

As Zettlr 4.0 starts into its beta phase, we have a lot new stuff coming for you. Over the next weeks, we will share one or two features a week to showcase what’s in store. Please share this post, follow us, and turn on notifications! 🎉 🔔

The first new feature of Zettlr 4.0 is a brand-new onboarding experience for new users, which allows changing some basic settings for first-time use. It also introduces new users to some of the core features of the app.
