Here is a list of some shortcomings of Zettelstore. They are planned to be solved.
Serious limitations
- Content with binary data (e.g. a GIF, PNG, or JPG file) cannot be created nor modified via the standard web interface. As a workaround, you should put your file into the directory where your zettel are stored. Make sure that the file name starts with unique 14 digits that make up the zettel identifier.
- Automatic lists are not supported in Zettelmarkup.
- …
Smaller limitations
- Quoted attribute values are not yet supported in Zettelmarkup:
{key="value with space"}
. - The horizontal tab character (U+0009) is not supported.
- Missing support for citation keys.
- Changing the content syntax is not reflected in file extension.
- File names with additional text besides the zettel identifier are not always preserved.
- Some file systems differentiate filenames with different cases (e.g. some on Linux, sometimes on macOS), others do not (default on macOS, most on Windows). Zettelstore is not able to detect these differences. Do not put files in your directory boxes and in files boxes that differ only by upper / lower case letters.

Planned improvements
- Support for mathematical content is missing, e.g.
$$F(x) &= \\int^a_b \\frac{1}{3}x^3$$
