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 and transclusions are not supported in Zettelmarkup.
- …
Smaller limitations
- Quoted attribute values are not yet supported in Zettelmarkup:
{key="value with space"}. - The file sub-command currently does not allow to output the raw zettel text and metadata.
- 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.
- …
Planned improvements
- Support for mathematical content is missing, e.g.
$$F(x) &= \\int^a_b \\frac{1}{3}x^3$$. - Render zettel in pandoc's JSON version of their native AST to make pandoc an external renderer for Zettelstore.
