[[Personal knowledge management|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_knowledge_management]] involves collecting, classifying, storing, searching, retrieving, assessing, evaluating, and sharing knowledge as a daily activity.
It's done by most individuals, not necessarily as part of their main business.
It's essential for knowledge workers, such as students, researchers, lecturers, software developers, scientists, engineers, architects, etc.
Many hobbyists build up a significant amount of knowledge, even if they do not need to think for a living.
Personal knowledge management can be seen as a prerequisite for many kinds of collaboration.

Zettelstore is software that collects and relates your notes (""zettel"") to represent and enhance your knowledge, supporting the ""[[Zettelkasten method|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zettelkasten]]"".
The method is based on creating many individual notes, each containing one idea or piece of information, which are related to each other.
The method is based on creating many individual notes, each with one idea or piece of information, that is related to each other.
Since knowledge is typically built up gradually, one major focus is a long-term store of these notes, hence the name ""Zettelstore"".

Zettelstore supports the following design goals:

; Longevity of stored notes / zettel
: Every zettel you create should be readable without the help of any tool, even without Zettelstore.
: It should not hard to write other software that works with your zettel.
: It should be not hard to write other software that works with your zettel.
: Normal zettel should be stored in a single file.
  If this is not possible: at most in two files: one for the metadata, one for the content.
  The only exceptions are [[predefined zettel|00001005090000]] stored in the Zettelstore executable.
  The only exception are [[predefined zettel|00001005090000]] stored in the Zettelstore executable.
: There is no additional database.
; Single user
: All zettel belong to you, only to you.
  Zettelstore provides its services only to one person: you.
  If the computer running Zettelstore is securely configured, there should be no risk that others are able to read or update your zettel.
: If you want, you can customize Zettelstore in a way that some specific or all persons are able to read some of your zettel.
; Ease of installation
: If you want to use the Zettelstore software, all you need is to copy the executable to an appropriate file directory and start working.
: Upgrading the software is done just by replacing the executable with a newer one.
; Ease of operation
: There is only one executable for Zettelstore and one directory, where your zettel are stored.
: If you decide to use multiple directories, you are free to configure Zettelstore appropriately.
; Multiple modes of operation
: You can use Zettelstore as a standalone software on your device, but you are not restricted to it.
: You can install the software on a central server, or you can install it on all your devices with no restrictions on how to synchronize your zettel.
: You can install the software on a central server, or you can install it on all your devices with no restrictions how to synchronize your zettel.
; Multiple user interfaces
: Zettelstore provides a default [[web-based user interface|00001014000000]].
  Anyone can provide alternative user interfaces, e.g. for special purposes.
  Anybody can provide alternative user interfaces, e.g. for special purposes.
; Simple service
: The purpose of Zettelstore is to safely store your zettel and to provide some initial relations between them.
: External software can be written to deeply analyze your zettel and the structures they form.
; Security by default
: Without any customization, Zettelstore provides its services in a safe and secure manner and does not expose you (or other users) to security risks.
: If you know what you are doing, Zettelstore allows you to relax some security-related preferences.
: If you know what use are doing, Zettelstore allows you to relax some security-related preferences.
  However, even in this case, the more secure way is chosen.
: The Zettelstore software uses a minimal design and uses other software dependencies only is essential needed.
: There will be no plugin mechanism, which allows external software to control the inner workings of the Zettelstore software.

=== The curious user
You just want to check out the Zettelstore software

* Grab the appropriate executable and copy it to any directory
* Grab the appropriate executable and copy it into any directory
* Start the Zettelstore software, e.g. with a double click[^On Windows and macOS, the operating system tries to protect you from possible malicious software.
  If you encounter a problem, please refer to the [[Troubleshooting|00001018000000]] page.]
  If you encounter a problem, please take a look on the [[Troubleshooting|00001018000000]] page.]

Since there is no such thing as the one Linux, there are too many different ways to automatically start Zettelstore.

* One way is to interpret your Linux desktop system as a server and use the [[recipe to install Zettelstore on a server|00001003600000]].
** See below for a lighter alternative.
* If you are using the [[Gnome Desktop|https://www.gnome.org/]], you could use the tool [[Tweak|https://wiki.gnome.org/action/show/Apps/Tweaks]] (formerly known as ""GNOME Tweak Tool"" or just ""Tweak Tool"").
  It allows to specify application that should run on startup / login.
* [[KDE|https://kde.org/]] provides a system setting to [[autostart|https://docs.kde.org/stable5/en/plasma-workspace/kcontrol/autostart/]] applications.
* [[Xfce|https://xfce.org/]] allows to specify [[autostart applications|https://docs.xfce.org/xfce/xfce4-session/preferences#application_autostart]].
* [[LXDE|https://www.lxde.org/]] uses [[LXSession Edit|https://wiki.lxde.org/en/LXSession_Edit]] to allow users to specify autostart applications.

If you use a different desktop environment, it often helps to to provide its name and the string ""autostart"" to google for it with the search engine of your choice.

Yet another way is to make use of the middleware that is provided.
Many Linux distributions make use of [[systemd|https://systemd.io/]], which allows to start processes on behalf of a user.

The configuration file, specified by the ''-c CONFIGFILE'' [[command line option|00001004051000]], allows you to specify some startup options.
These cannot be stored in a [[configuration zettel|00001004020000]] because they are needed before Zettelstore can start or because of security reasons.
For example, Zettelstore needs to know in advance on which network address it must listen or where zettel are stored.
An attacker that is able to change the owner can do anything.
Therefore, only the owner of the computer on which Zettelstore runs can change this information.

  A value of ""0"" (the default) disables it.
  The administrator console will only be enabled if Zettelstore is started with the [[''run'' sub-command|00001004051000]].

  On most operating systems, the value must be greater than ""1024"" unless you start Zettelstore with the full privileges of a system administrator (which is not recommended).

A Zettelstore must store its zettel somehow and somewhere.
In most cases you want to store your zettel as files in a directory.
Under certain circumstances you may want to store your zettel elsewhere.

An example is the [[predefined zettel|00001005090000]] that come with a Zettelstore.
An example are the [[predefined zettel|00001005090000]] that come with a Zettelstore.
They are stored within the software itself.
In another situation you may want to store your zettel volatile, e.g. if you want to provide a sandbox for experimenting.

To cope with these (and more) situations, you configure Zettelstore to use one or more __boxes__.
This is done via the ''box-uri-X'' keys of the [[startup configuration|00001004010000#box-uri-X]] (X is a number).
Boxes are specified using special [[URIs|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier]], somehow similar to web addresses.

Under certain circumstances, it is preferable to further configure a file directory box.
This is done by appending query parameters after the base box URI ''dir:\//DIR''.

The following parameters are supported:

|= Parameter:|Description|Default value:|
|type|(Sub-) Type of the directory service|(value of ""[[default-dir-box-type|00001004010000#default-dir-box-type]]"")

|worker|Number of worker that can access the directory in parallel|7
|readonly|Allow only operations that do not create or change zettel|n/a

=== Type
On some operating systems, Zettelstore tries to detect changes to zettel files outside of Zettelstore's control[^This includes Linux, Windows, and macOS.].
On other operating systems, this may be not possible, due to technical limitations.
Automatic detection of external changes is also not possible, if zettel files are put on an external service, such as a file server accessed via SMB/CIFS or NFS.

While the number of zettel should be easily calculable by a user, the number of bytes might be a little more difficult.
While the number of zettel should be easily calculable by an user, the number of bytes might be a little more difficult.

Metadata consumes 6 bytes for the zettel identifier and for each metadata value one byte for the separator, plus the length of key and data.
Then size of the content is its size in bytes.
For text content, its the number of bytes for its UTF-8 encoding.

If one of the limits are exceeded, Zettelstore will give an error indication, based on the HTTP status code 507.

This is equivalent to call it this way:
```sh
mkdir -p ./zettel
zettelstore run -d ./zettel -c ./.zscfg
```
Typically this is done by starting Zettelstore via a graphical user interface by double-clicking its file icon.

It is s simplified variant of the [[''run'' sub-command|00001004051000]].

First, this sub-command checks if it can read a [[Zettelstore startup configuration|00001004010000]] file by trying the [[default values|00001004051000#c]].
If this is the case, ''run-simple'' just continues as the [[''run'' sub-command|00001004051000]], but ignores any command line options (including ''-d DIR'').[^This allows a [[curious user|00001003000000]] to become an intermediate user.]


If no startup configuration was found, the sub-command allows only to specify a zettel directory.
The directory will be created automatically, if it does not exist.

This sub-command is used to create a hashed password for users to be authenticated.
This sub-command is used to create a hashed password for to be authenticated users.

It reads a password from standard input (two times, both must be equal) and writes the hashed password to standard output.

The general usage is:
```
zettelstore password IDENT ZETTEL-ID
```

``IDENT`` is the identification for the user that should be authenticated.
``ZETTEL-ID`` is the [[identifier of the zettel|00001006050000]] that later acts as a user zettel.

See [[Creating a user zettel|00001010040200]] for some background information.
See [[Creating an user zettel|00001010040200]] for some background information.

An example:

```
# zettelstore password bob 20200911115600
Password:
   Again:
credential: $2a$10$1q92v1Ya8Too5HD/4rKpPuCP8fZTYPochsC6DcY1T4JKwhSx8uLu6
user-id: bob
```

This will produce a hashed password (""credential"") for the new user ""bob"" to be stored in zettel ""20200911115600"".

You should copy the relevant output to the zettel of the user to be secured, especially by setting the meta keys ''credential'' and ''user-id'' to the copied values.

Please note that the generated hashed password is tied to the given user identification (''user-id'') and to the identifier of its zettel.
Changing one of these will prevent the user from being authenticated with the given password.
Changing one of those will stop authenticating the user with the given password.
In this case you have to re-run this sub-command.

The administrator console is a service accessible only on the same computer on which Zettelstore is running.
It allows an experienced user to monitor and control some of the inner workings of Zettelstore.

You enable the administrator console by specifying a TCP port number greater than zero (better: greater than 1024) for it, either via the [[command-line parameter ''-a''|00001004051000#a]] or via the ''admin-port'' key of the [[startup configuration file|00001004010000#admin-port]].

After you enable the administrator console, you can use tools such as [[PuTTY|https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/]] or other telnet software to connect to the administrator console.
In fact, the administrator console is __not__ a full telnet service.
It is merely a simple line-oriented service where each input line is interpreted separately.
Therefore, you can also use tools like [[netcat|https://nc110.sourceforge.io/]], [[socat|http://www.dest-unreach.org/socat/]], etc.

After connecting to the administrator console, there is no further authentication.
It is not needed because you must be logged in on the same computer where Zettelstore is running.
You cannot connect to the administrator console if you are on a different computer.
Of course, on multi-user systems with untrusted users, you should not enable the administrator console.
Of course, on multi-user systems with encrusted users, you should not enable the administrator console.

Zettelstore is a software that manages your zettel.
Since every zettel must be readable without any special tool, most zettel have to be stored as ordinary files within specific directories.
Typically, file names and file content must comply with specific rules so that Zettelstore can manage them.
Since every zettel must be readable without any special tool, most zettel has to be stored as ordinary files within specific directories.
Typically, file names and file content must comply to specific rules so that Zettelstore can manage them.
If you add, delete, or change zettel files with other tools, e.g. a text editor, Zettelstore will monitor these actions.

Zettelstore provides additional services to the user.
Via the built-in [[web user interface|00001014000000]] you can work with zettel in various ways.
Via the builtin [[web user interface|00001014000000]] you can work with zettel in various ways.
For example, you are able to list zettel, to create new zettel, to edit them, or to delete them.
You can view zettel details and relations between zettel.

In addition, Zettelstore provides an ""application programming interface"" ([[API|00001012000000]]) that allows other software to communicate with the Zettelstore.
Zettelstore becomes extensible by external software.
For example, a more sophisticated user interface could be built, or an application for your mobile device that allows you to send content to your Zettelstore as new zettel.

It is allowed that the file name contains other characters after the 14 digits.
These are ignored by Zettelstore.

Two filename extensions are used by Zettelstore:
# ''.zettel'' is a format that stores metadata and content together in one file,
# the empty file extension is used, when the content must be stored in its own file, e.g. image data;
  in this case, the filename contains just the 14 digits of the zettel identifier, and optional characters except the period ''"."''.  
  in this case, the filename just the 14 digits of the zettel identifier, and optional characters except the period ''"."''.  
Other filename extensions are used to determine the ""syntax"" of a zettel.
This allows to use other content within the Zettelstore, e.g. images or HTML templates.

For example, you want to store an important figure in the Zettelstore that is encoded as a ''.png'' file.
Since each zettel contains some metadata, e.g. the title of the figure, the question arises where these data should be stored.
Since each zettel contains some metadata, e.g. the title of the figure, the question arises where these data should be stores.
The solution is a meta-file with the same zettel identifier, but without a filename extension.
Zettelstore recognizes this situation and reads in both files for the one zettel containing the figure.
It maintains this relationship as long as these files exist.
It maintains this relationship as long as these files exists.

In case of some textual zettel content you do not want to store the metadata and the zettel content in two different files.
Here the ''.zettel'' extension will signal that the metadata and the zettel content will be stored in the same file, separated by an empty line or a line with three dashes (""''-\-\-''"", also known as ""YAML separator"").
Here the ''.zettel'' extension will signal that the metadata and the zettel content will be put in the same file, separated by an empty line or a line with three dashes (""''-\-\-''"", also known as ""YAML separator"").

=== Predefined zettel

Zettelstore contains some [[predefined zettel|00001005090000]] to work properly.
The [[configuration zettel|00001004020000]] is one example.
To render the built-in [[web user interface|00001014000000]], some templates are used, as well as a [[layout specification in CSS|00000000020001]].
To render the builtin [[web user interface|00001014000000]], some templates are used, as well as a [[layout specification in CSS|00000000020001]].
The icon that visualizes a broken image is a [[predefined GIF image|00000000040001]].
All of these are visible to the Zettelstore as zettel.

One reason for this is to allow you to modify these zettel to adapt Zettelstore to your needs and visual preferences.

Where are these zettel stored?
They are stored within the Zettelstore software itself, because one [[design goal|00001002000000]] was to have just one executable file to use Zettelstore.
But data stored within an executable program cannot be changed later[^Well, it can, but it is a very bad idea to allow this. Mostly for security reasons.].

To allow changing predefined zettel, both the file store and the internal zettel store are internally chained together.
If you change a zettel, it will be stored as a file.
If you change a zettel, it will be always stored as a file.
If a zettel is requested, Zettelstore will first try to read that zettel from a file.
If such a file was not found, the internal zettel store is searched secondly.

Therefore, the file store ""shadows"" the internal zettel store.
If you want to read the original zettel, you have to delete the zettel (which removes it from the file directory).
Now we have two places where zettel are stored: in the specific directory and within the Zettelstore software.

=== Boxes: alternative ways to store zettel
As described above, a zettel may be stored either as a file inside a directory or within the Zettelstore software itself.
As described above, a zettel may be stored as a file inside a directory or inside the Zettelstore software itself.
Zettelstore allows other ways to store zettel by providing an abstraction called __box__.[^Formerly, zettel were stored physically in boxes, often made of wood.]

A file directory which stores zettel is called a ""directory box"".
But zettel may be also stored in a ZIP file, which is called ""file box"".
For testing purposes, zettel may be stored in volatile memory (called __RAM__).
This way is called ""memory box"".

Other types of boxes could be added to Zettelstore.
What about a ""remote Zettelstore box""?

The following table lists all predefined zettel with their purpose.

The content of most[^To be more exact: zettel with an identifier greater or equal ''00000999999900'' will have their content indexed.] of these zettel will not be indexed by Zettelstore.
You will not find zettel when searched for some content, e.g. ""[[query:european]]"" will not find the [[Zettelstore License|00000000000004]].
However, metadata is always indexed, e.g. ""[[query:title:license]]"" will find the Zettelstore License zettel.

A zettel consists of two parts: the metadata and the zettel content.
Metadata gives some information mostly about the zettel content, how it should be interpreted, how it is sorted within Zettelstore.
The zettel content is, well, the actual content.
In many cases, the content is in plain text form.
Plain text is long-lasting.
However, content in binary format is also possible.

This is called ""[[parsed zettel|00001012053600]]"", also retrieved with the [[endpoint|00001012920000]] ''/z/{ID}'', but with the additional query parameter ''parseonly''.
Such a zettel was read and analyzed.
It can be presented in various [[encodings|00001012920500]].[^The [[zmk encoding|00001012920522]] allows you to compare the plain, the parsed, and the evaluated form of a zettel.]

However, a zettel such as this one you are currently reading, is a ""[[evaluated zettel|00001012053500]]"", also retrieved with the [[endpoint|00001012920000]] ''/z/{ID}'' and specifying an encoding.
The biggest difference to a parsed zettel is the inclusion of [[block transclusions|00001007031100]] or [[inline transclusions|00001007040324]] for an evaluated zettel.
It can also be presented in various encoding, including the ""zmk"" encoding.
Evaluations also applies to metadata of a zettel, when appropriate.
Evaluations also applies to metadata of a zettel, if appropriate.

Please note, that searching for content is based on parsed zettel.
Transcluded content will only be found in transcluded zettel, but not in the zettel that transcluded the content.
However, you will easily pick up that zettel by following the [[backward|00001006020000#backward]] metadata key of the transcluded zettel.

Although you are free to define your own metadata, by using any key (according to the [[syntax|00001006010000]]), some keys have a special meaning that is enforced by Zettelstore.
See the [[computed list of supported metadata keys|00000000000090]] for details.

Most keys conform to a [[type|00001006030000]].

; [!author|''author'']

; [!created|''created'']
: Date and time when a zettel was created through Zettelstore.
  If you create a zettel with an editor software outside Zettelstore, you should set it manually to an appropriate value.

  This is a computed value.
  There is no need to set it via Zettelstore.
  
  If it is not stored within a zettel, it will be computed based on the value of the [[Zettel Identifier|00001006050000]]: if it contains a value >= 19700101000000, it will be coerced to a date/time; otherwise the version time of the running software will be used.
  If it is not stored within a zettel, it will be computed based on the value of the [[Zettel Identifier|00001006050000]]: if it contains a value >= 19700101000000, it will be coerced to da date/time; otherwise the version time of the running software will be used.

  Please note that the value von ''created'' will be different (in most cases) to the value of [[''id''|#id]] / the zettel identifier, because it is exact up to the second.
  When calculating a zettel identifier, Zettelstore tries to set the second value to zero, if possible.
; [!created-missing|''created-missing'']
: If set to ""true"", the value of [[''created''|#created]] was not stored within a zettel.
  To allow the migration of [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]] to a new scheme, you should update the value of ''created'' to a reasonable value.
  Otherwise you might lose that information in future releases.

  This key will be removed when the migration to a new zettel identifier format has been completed.
; [!credential|''credential'']
: Contains the hashed password, as it was emitted by [[``zettelstore password``|00001004051400]].
  It is internally created by hashing the password, the [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]], and the value of the ''ident'' key.

  It is only used for zettel with a ''role'' value of ""user"".
; [!dead|''dead'']
: Property that contains all references that does __not__ identify a zettel.
; [!expire|''expire'']
: A user-entered time stamp that document the point in time when the zettel should expire.
  When a zettel expires, Zettelstore does nothing.
  When a zettel is expires, Zettelstore does nothing.
  It is up to you to define required actions.
  ''expire'' is just a documentation.
  You could define a query and execute it regularly, for example [[query:expire? ORDER expire]].
  Alternatively, a Zettelstore client software could define some actions when it detects expired zettel.
; [!folge|''folge'']
: Is a property that contains identifier of all zettel that reference this zettel through the [[''precursor''|#precursor]] value.
; [!folge-role|''folge-role'']

  Basically the inverse of key [[''folge''|#folge]].
; [!predecessor|''predecessor'']
: References the zettel that contains a previous version of the content.
  In contrast to [[''precursor''|#precurso]] / [[''folge''|#folge]], this is a reference because of technical reasons, not because of content-related reasons.
  Basically the inverse of key [[''successors''|#successors]].
; [!prequel|''prequel'']
: Specifies a zettel that is conceptually a prequel zettel.
  This is a zettel that occurred somehow before the current zettel.
  This is a zettel that occured somehow before the current zettel.
; [!published|''published'']
: This property contains the timestamp of the last modification / creation of the zettel.
: This property contains the timestamp of the mast modification / creation of the zettel.
  If [[''modified''|#modified]] is set with a valid timestamp, it contains the its value.
  Otherwise, if [[''created''|#created]] is set with a valid timestamp, it contains the its value.
  Otherwise, if the zettel identifier contains a valid timestamp, the identifier is used.
  In all other cases, this property is not set.

  It can be used for [[sorting|00001007700000]] zettel based on their publication date.

; [!role|''role'']
: Defines the role of the zettel.
  Can be used for selecting zettel.
  See [[supported zettel roles|00001006020100]].
  If not given, it is ignored.
; [!sequel|''sequel'']
: Is a property that contains identifier of all zettel that reference this zettel through the [[''prequel''|#prequel]] value.
; [!subordinates|''subordinates'']
: Is a property that contains identifier of all zettel that reference this zettel through the [[''superior''|#superior]] value.
; [!successors|''successors'']
: Is a property that contains identifier of all zettel that reference this zettel through the [[''predecessor''|#predecessor]] value.
  Therefore, it references all zettel that contain a new version of the content and/or metadata.
  In contrast to [[''folge''|#folge]], these are references because of technical reasons, not because of content-related reasons.
  In most cases, zettel referencing the current zettel should be updated to reference a successor zettel.
  The [[query reference|00001007040310]] [[query:backward? successors?]] lists all such zettel.
; [!summary|''summary'']
: Summarizes the content of the zettel using plain text.
; [!superior|''superior'']
: Summarizes the content of the zettel.
  You may use all [[inline-structued elements|00001007040000]] of Zettelmarkup.
: Specifies a zettel that is conceptually a superior zettel.
  This might be a more abstract zettel, or a zettel that should be higher in a hierarchy.
; [!syntax|''syntax'']
: Specifies the syntax that should be used for interpreting the zettel.
  The zettel about [[other markup languages|00001008000000]] defines supported values.
  If it is not given, it defaults to ''plain''.
; [!tags|''tags'']
: Contains a space separated list of tags to describe the zettel further.
  Each Tag must begin with the number sign character (""''#''"", U+0023).
; [!title|''title'']
: Specifies the title of the zettel.
  If not given, the value of [[''id''|#id]] will be used.
; [!url|''url'']
: Defines a URL / URI for this zettel that possibly references external material.
: Defines an URL / URI for this zettel that possibly references external material.
  One use case is to specify the document that the current zettel comments on.
  The URL will be rendered special in the [[web user interface|00001014000000]] if you use the default template.
; [!useless-files|''useless-files'']
: Contains the file names that are rejected to serve the content of a zettel.
  Is used for [[directory boxes|00001004011400]] and [[file boxes|00001004011200#file]].
  If a zettel is deleted, these files will also be deleted.

Values of this type are just a sequence of character, possibly an empty sequence.

An EString is the most general metadata key type, as it places no restrictions to the character sequence.[^Well, there are some minor restrictions that follow from the [[metadata syntax|00001006010000]].]

=== Allowed values
All printable characters are allowed.

=== Query comparison

Values of this type denote a numeric integer value.

=== Allowed values
Must be a sequence of digits (""0""--""9""), optionally prefixed with a ""-"" or a ""+"" character.

=== Query comparison
[[Search operators|00001007705000]] for equality (""equal"" or ""not equal"", ""has"" or ""not has""), for lesser values (""less"" or ""not less""), or for greater values (""greater"" or ""not greater"") are executed by converting both the [[search value|00001007706000]] and the metadata value into integer values and then comparing them numerically.
Integer values must be in the range -9223372036854775808 … 9223372036854775807.
Comparisons with metadata values outside this range always return a negative match.
Comparisons with metadata values outside this range always returns a negative match.
Comparisons with search values outside this range will be executed as a comparison of the string representation values.

All other comparisons (""match"", ""not match"", ""prefix"", ""not prefix"", ""suffix"", and ""not suffix"") are done on the given string representation of the number.
In this case, the number ""+12"" will be treated as different to the number ""12"".

Values of this type are [[String|00001006033500]] values, interpreted as [[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]].

=== Allowed values
All printable characters are allowed.
There must be at least one such character.

=== Query comparison
Comparison is done similar to the full-text search: both the value to compare and the metadata value are normalized according to Unicode NKFD, ignoring everything except letters and numbers.
Letters are mapped to the corresponding lower-case value.

For example, ""Brücke"" will be the prefix of ""(Bruckenpfeiler,"".

=== Sorting
To sort two values, the underlying encoding is used to determine which value is less than the other.

Uppercase letters are typically interpreted as less than their corresponding lowercase letters, i.e. ``A < a``.

Comparison is done character-wise by finding the first difference in the respective character sequence.
For example, ``abc > aBc``.

Each zettel is given a unique identifier.
To some degree, the zettel identifier is part of the metadata.
Basically, the identifier is given by the [[Zettelstore|00001005000000]] software.

Every zettel identifier consists of 14 digits.
They resemble a timestamp: the first four digits could represent the year, the next two represent the month, followed by day, hour, minute, and second.
They resemble a timestamp: the first four digits could represent the year, the
next two represent the month, following by day, hour, minute, and second.

This allows to order zettel chronologically in a canonical way.

In most cases the zettel identifier is the timestamp when the zettel was created.

However, the Zettelstore software just checks for exactly 14 digits.
Anybody is free to assign a ""non-timestamp"" identifier to a zettel, e.g. with a month part of ""35"" or with ""99"" as the last two digits.
Anybody is free to assign a ""non-timestamp"" identifier to a zettel, e.g. with

[[Zettel identifier|00001006050000]] are typically created by examine the current date and time.
By renaming the name of the underlying zettel file, you are able to provide any sequence of 14 digits.

To make things easier, you must not use zettel identifier that begin with four zeroes (''0000'').

All zettel provided by an empty zettelstore begin with six zeroes[^Exception: the predefined home zettel is ''00010000000000''. But you can [[configure|00001004020000#home-zettel]] another zettel with another identifier as the new home zettel.].

However, some external applications may need at least one defined zettel identifier to work properly.
Zettel [[Zettelstore Application Directory|00000999999999]] (''00000999999999'') can be used to associate a name to a zettel identifier.
For example, if your application is named ""app"", you create a metadata key ''app-zid''.
Its value is the zettel identifier of the zettel that configures your application.

Any document can be thought of as a sequence of paragraphs and other [[block-structured elements|00001007030000]] (""blocks""), such as [[headings|00001007030300]], [[lists|00001007030200]], quotations, and code blocks.
Any document can be thought as a sequence of paragraphs and other [[block-structured elements|00001007030000]] (""blocks""), such as [[headings|00001007030300]], [[lists|00001007030200]], quotations, and code blocks.
Some of these blocks can contain other blocks, for example lists may contain other lists or paragraphs.
Other blocks contain [[inline-structured elements|00001007040000]] (""inlines""), such as text, [[links|00001007040310]], emphasized text, and images.

With the exception of lists and tables, the markup for blocks always begins at the first position of a line with three or more identical characters.
List blocks also begin at the first position of a line, but may need one or more identical character, plus a space character.
[[Table blocks|00001007031000]] begin at the first position of a line with the character ""``|``"".
Non-list blocks are either fully specified on that line or they span multiple lines and are delimited with the same three or more character.
It depends on the block kind, whether blocks are specified on one line or on at least two lines.

If a line does not begin with an explicit block element, the line is treated as a (implicit) paragraph block element that contains inline elements.
If a line does not begin with an explicit block element. the line is treated as a (implicit) paragraph block element that contains inline elements.
This paragraph ends when a block element is detected at the beginning of a next line or when an empty line occurs.
Some blocks may also contain inline elements, e.g. a heading.

Inline elements mostly begin with two non-space, often identical characters.
Inline elements mostly begins with two non-space, often identical characters.
With some exceptions, two identical non-space characters begins a formatting range that is ended with the same two characters.

Exceptions are: links, images, edits, comments, and both the ""en-dash"" and the ""horizontal ellipsis"".
A link is given with ``[[...]]``{=zmk}, an image with ``{{...}}``{=zmk}, and an edit formatting with ``((...))``{=zmk}.
A link is given with ``[[...]]``{=zmk}, an images with ``{{...}}``{=zmk}, and an edit formatting with ``((...))``{=zmk}.
An inline comment, beginning with the sequence ``%%``{=zmk}, always ends at the end of the line where it begins.
The ""en-dash"" (""--"") is specified as ``--``{=zmk}, the ""horizontal ellipsis"" (""..."") as ``...``{=zmk}[^If put at the end of non-space text.].

Some inline elements do not follow the rule of two identical character, especially to specify [[footnotes|00001007040330]], [[citation keys|00001007040340]], and local marks.
These elements begin with one opening square bracket (""``[``""), use a character for specifying the kind of the inline, typically allow to specify some content, and end with one closing square bracket (""``]``"").

One inline element that does not begin with two characters is the ""entity"".
It allows to specify any Unicode character.
The specification of that character is put between an ampersand character and a semicolon: ``&...;``{=zmk}.
For example, an ""n-dash"" could also be specified as ``–``{==zmk}.

The backslash character (""``\\``"") possibly gives the next character a special meaning.
This allows to resolve some left ambiguities.
For example, a list of depth 2 will begin a line with ``** Item 2.2``{=zmk}.
An inline element to strongly emphasize some text that begins with a space will be specified as ``** Text**``{=zmk}.
An inline element to strongly emphasize some text begin with a space will be specified as ``** Text**``{=zmk}.
To force the inline element formatting at the beginning of a line, ``**\\ Text**``{=zmk} should better be specified.

Many block and inline elements can be refined by additional [[attributes|00001007050000]].
Attributes resemble roughly HTML attributes and are put near the corresponding elements by using the syntax ``{...}``{=zmk}.
One example is to make space characters visible inside a inline literal element: ``1 + 2 = 3``{-} was specified by using the default attribute: ``\`\`1 + 2 = 3\`\`{-}``.

To summarize:

* With some exceptions, block-structural elements begins at the for position of a line with three identical characters.
* The most important exception to this rule is the specification of lists.
* If no block element is found, a paragraph with inline elements is assumed.
* With some exceptions, inline-structural elements begin with two characters, quite often the same two characters.
* With some exceptions, inline-structural elements begins with two characters, quite often the same two characters.
* The most important exceptions are links.
* The backslash character can help to resolve possible ambiguities.
* Attributes refine some block and inline elements.
* Block elements have a higher priority than inline elements.

A description list is a sequence of terms to be described together with the descriptions of each term.
Every term can be described in multiple ways.
Every term can described in multiple ways.

A description term (short: __term__) is specified with one semicolon (""'';''"", U+003B) at the first position, followed by a space character and the described term, specified as a sequence of line elements.
If the following lines should also be part of the term, exactly two spaces must be given at the beginning of each following line.

The description of a term is given with one colon (""'':''"", U+003A) at the first position, followed by a space character and the description itself, specified as a sequence of [[inline elements|00001007040000]].

To specify a (sub-) section of a zettel, you should use the headings syntax: at
the beginning of a new line type at least three equal signs (""''=''"", U+003D), plus at least one
space and enter the text of the heading as [[inline elements|00001007040000]].

```zmk
=== Level 1 Heading

====== Level 4 Heading
======= Level 5 Heading
======== Level 5 Heading
:::

=== Notes

The heading level is translated to an HTML heading by adding 1 to the level, e.g. ``=== Level 1 Heading``{=zmk} translates to ==<h2>Level 1 Heading</h2>=={=html}.
The heading level is translated to a HTML heading by adding 1 to the level, e.g. ``=== Level 1 Heading``{=zmk} translates to ==<h2>Level 1 Heading</h2>=={=html}.
The ==<h1>=={=html} tag is rendered for the zettel title.

This syntax is often used in a similar way in wiki implementation.
However, trailing equal signs are __not__ removed, they are part of the heading text.

If you use command line tools, you can easily create a draft table of contents with the command:

```sh
grep -h '^====* ' ZETTEL_ID.zettel

To signal a thematic break, you can specify a horizontal rule.
This is done by entering at least three hyphen-minus characters (""''-''"", U+002D) at the first position of a line.
You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]], although the horizontal rule does not support the default attribute.
Any other characters in this line will be ignored.

If you do not enter the three hyphen-minus character at the very first position of a line, they are interpreted as [[inline elements|00001007040000]], typically as an ""en-dash"" followed by a hyphen-minus.

Tables are used to show some data in a two-dimensional fashion.
In zettelmarkup, tables are not specified explicitly, but by entering __table rows__.
Therefore, a table can be seen as a sequence of table rows.
A table row is nothing but a sequence of __table cells__.
The length of a table is the number of table rows, the width of a table is the maximum length of its rows.

:::example
| a1 | a2 | a3|
| b1 | b2 | b3
| c1 | c2
:::

=== Header row
If any cell in the first row of a table contains an equal sign character (""''=''"", U+003D) as the very first character, then this first row will be interpreted as a __table header__ row.
If any cell in the first row of a table contains an equal sing character (""''=''"", U+003D) as the very first character, then this first row will be interpreted as a __table header__ row.

title: Zettelmarkup: Zettel Transclusion

A zettel transclusion is specified by the following sequence, starting at the first position in a line: ''{{{zettel-identifier}}}''.

When evaluated, the referenced zettel is read.
If it contains some transclusions itself, these will be expanded, recursively.
When a recursion is detected, expansion does not take place.
Instead an error message replaces the transclude specification.

An error message is also given, if the zettel cannot be read or if too many transclusions are made.
The maximum number of transclusion can be controlled by setting the value [[''max-transclusions''|00001004020000#max-transclusions]] of the runtime configuration zettel.

If everything went well, the referenced, expanded zettel will replace the transclusion element.

For example, to include the text of the Zettel titled ""Zettel identifier"", just specify its identifier [[''00001006050000''|00001006050000]] in the transclusion element:
For example, to include the text of the Zettel titled ""Zettel identifier"", just specify its identifier [[''00001006050000''|00001006050000]] in the transclude element:
```zmk
{{{00001006050000}}}
```
This will result in:
:::example
{{{00001006050000}}}
:::

Please note: if the referenced zettel is changed, all transclusions will also change.

This allows, for example, to create a bigger document just by transcluding smaller zettel.

In addition, if a zettel __z__ transcludes a zettel __t__, but the current user is not allowed to view zettel __t__ (but zettel __z__), then the transclusion will not take place.
To the current user, it seems that there was no transclusion in zettel __z__.
This allows to create a zettel with content that seems to be changed, depending on the authorization of the current user.

---
Any [[attributes|00001007050000]] added to the transclusion will set/overwrite the appropriate metadata of the included zettel.
Of course, this applies only to those attributes, which have a valid name for a metadata key.
Of course, this applies only to thoes attribtues, which have a valid name for a metadata key.
This allows to control the evaluation of the included zettel, especially for zettel containing a diagram description.

A query transclusion is specified by the following sequence, starting at the first position in a line: ''{{{query:query-expression}}}''.
The line must literally start with the sequence ''{{{query:''.
Everything after this prefix is interpreted as a [[query expression|00001007700000]].

When evaluated, the query expression is evaluated, often resulting in a list of [[links|00001007040310]] to zettel, matching the query expression.
The result replaces the query transclusion element.

: The resulting list will be a numbered list.
; ''MINn'' (parameter)
: Emit only those values with at least __n__ aggregated values.
  __n__ must be a positive integer, ''MIN'' must be given in upper-case letters.

An inline-zettel block allows to specify some content with another syntax without creating a new zettel.
This is useful, for example, if you want to embed some [[Markdown|00001008010500]] content, because you are too lazy to translate Markdown into Zettelmarkup.
Another example is to specify HTML code to use it for some kind of web front-end framework.

Like all other [[line-range blocks|00001007030000#line-range-blocks]], an inline-zettel block begins with at least three identical characters, starting at the first position of a line.
As all other [[line-range blocks|00001007030000#line-range-blocks]], an inline-zettel block begins with at least three identical characters, starting at the first position of a line.
For inline-zettel blocks, the at-sign character (""''@''"", U+0040) is used.

You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]] to the beginning line of a verbatim block, following the initiating characters.
You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]] on the beginning line of a verbatim block, following the initiating characters.
The inline-zettel block uses the attribute key ""syntax"" to specify the [[syntax|00001008000000]] of the inline-zettel.
Alternatively, you can use the generic attribute to specify the syntax value.
If no value is provided, ""[[text|00001008000000#text]]"" is assumed.

Any other character in this first line will be ignored.

Text following the beginning line will not be interpreted, until a line begins with at least the same number of the same at-sign characters given at the beginning line.

Most characters you type is concerned with inline-structured elements.
The content of a zettel contains is many cases just ordinary text, lightly formatted.
Inline-structured elements allow to format your text and add some helpful links or images.
Sometimes, you want to enter characters that have no representation on your keyboard.

; Text formatting
: Every [[text formatting|00001007040100]] element begins with two same characters at the beginning.
  It lasts until the same two characters occurred the second time.
  Some of these elements explicitly support [[attributes|00001007050000]].

; Literal-like formatting
: Sometimes, you want to enter the text as it is.
: Sometime you want to enter the text as it is.
: This is the core motivation of [[literal-like formatting|00001007040200]].

; Reference-like text
: You can reference other zettel and (external) material within one zettel.
  This kind of reference may be a link, or an images that is display inline when the zettel is rendered.
  Footnotes sometimes factor out some useful text that hinders the flow of reading text.
  Internal marks allow to reference something within a zettel.
  An important aspect of all knowledge work is to reference others work, e.g. with citation keys.
  All these elements can be subsumed under [[reference-like text|00001007040300]].

=== Other inline elements
==== Comment
A comment begins with two consecutive percent sign characters (""''%''"", U+0025).
It ends at the end of the line where it begins.

==== Backslash
The backslash character (""''\\''"", U+005C) gives the next character another meaning.
* If a space character follows, it is converted into a non-breaking space (U+00A0).
* If a space character follows, it is converted in a non-breaking space (U+00A0).
* If a line ending follows the backslash character, the line break is converted from a __soft break__ into a __hard break__.
* Every other character is taken as itself, but without the interpretation of a Zettelmarkup element.
  For example, if you want to enter a ""'']''"" into a [[footnote text|00001007040330]], you should escape it with a backslash.

==== Entities & more
Sometimes it is not easy to enter special characters.
If you know the Unicode code point of that character, or its name according to the [[HTML standard|https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/named-characters.html]], you can enter it by number or by name.

Regardless which method you use, an entity always begins with an ampersand character (""''&''"", U+0026) and ends with a semicolon character (""'';''"", U+003B).
If you know the HTML name of the character you want to enter, put it between these two characters.
If you know the HTML name of the character you want to enter, put it between these two character.
Example: ``&`` is rendered as ::&::{=example}.

If you want to enter its numeric code point, a number sign character must follow the ampersand character, followed by digits to base 10.
Example: ``&`` is rendered in HTML as ::&::{=example}.

You also can enter its numeric code point as a hex number, if you put the letter ""x"" after the numeric sign character.
Example: ``&`` is rendered in HTML as ::&::{=example}.

According to the [[HTML Standard|https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/syntax.html#character-references]], some numeric code points are not allowed.
These are all code point below the numeric value 32 (decimal) or 0x20 (hex) and all code points for [[noncharacter|https://infra.spec.whatwg.org/#noncharacter]] values.

Since some Unicode characters are used quite often, a special notation is introduced for them:
Since some Unicode character are used quite often, a special notation is introduced for them:

* Two consecutive hyphen-minus characters result in an __en-dash__ character.
  It is typically used in numeric ranges.
  ``pages 4--7`` will be rendered in HTML as: ::pages 4--7::{=example}.
  Alternative specifications are: ``–``, ``&x8211``, and ``&#x2013``.

Text formatting is the way to make your text visually different.
Every text formatting element begins with two identical characters.
Every text formatting element begins with two same characters.
It ends when these two same characters occur the second time.
It is possible that some [[attributes|00001007050000]] follow immediately, without any separating character.

Text formatting can be nested, up to a reasonable limit.

The following characters begin a text formatting:

* The low line character (""''_''"", U+005F) emphasizes its text.
** Example: ``abc __def__ ghi`` is rendered in HTML as: ::abc __def__ ghi::{=example}.
* The asterisk character (""''*''"", U+002A) strongly emphasized its enclosed text.
** Example: ``abc **def** ghi`` is rendered in HTML as: ::abc **def** ghi::{=example}.
* The greater-than sign character (""''>''"", U+003E) marks text as inserted.
** Example: ``abc >>def>> ghi`` is rendered in HTML as: ::abc >>def>> ghi::{=example}.
* Similarly, the tilde character (""''~''"", U+007E) marks deleted text.
* Similar, the tilde character (""''~''"", U+007E) marks deleted text.
** Example: ``abc ~~def~~ ghi`` is rendered in HTML as: ::abc ~~def~~ ghi::{=example}.
* The circumflex accent character (""''^''"", U+005E) allows to enter super-scripted text.
** Example: ``e=mc^^2^^`` is rendered in HTML as: ::e=mc^^2^^::{=example}.
* The comma character (""'',''"", U+002C) produces sub-scripted text.
** Example: ``H,,2,,O`` is rendered in HTML as: ::H,,2,,O::{=example}.
* The quotation mark character (""''"''"", U+0022) marks an inline quotation, according to the [[specified language|00001007050100]].
** Example: ``""To be or not""`` is rendered in HTML as: ::""To be or not""::{=example}.
** Example: ``""Sein oder nicht""{lang=de}`` is rendered in HTML as: ::""Sein oder nicht""{lang=de}::{=example}.
* The number sign (""''#''"", U+0023) marks the text visually, where the mark does not belong to the text itself.
  It is typically used to highlight some text that is important for you, but was not important for the original author.
** Example: ``abc ##def## ghi`` is rendered in HTML as: ::abc ##def## ghi::{=example}.
* The colon character (""'':''"", U+003A) marks some text that should belong together. It fills a similar role as [[region blocks|00001007030800]], but just for inline elements.
* The colon character (""'':''"", U+003A) mark some text that should belong together. It fills a similar role as [[region blocks|00001007030800]], but just for inline elements.

There are some reasons to mark text that should be rendered as uninterpreted:
* Mark text as literal, sometimes as part of a program.
* Mark text as input you give into a computer via a keyboard.
* Mark text as output from some computer, e.g. shown at the command line.

=== Literal text

Examples:
* ``==The result is: 42==`` renders in HTML as ::==The result is: 42==::{=example}.
* ``==The result is: 42=={-}`` renders in HTML as ::==The result is: 42=={-}::{=example}.

Attributes can be specified, the default attribute has the same semantic as for literal text.

=== Inline-zettel snippet
To specify an inline snippet in a different [[syntax|00001008000000]], delimit your text with two at-sign characters (""''@''"", U+0040) on each side.

You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]] immediate after the two closing at-sign characters to specify the syntax to use.
Either use the attribute key ""syntax"" or use the generic attribute to specify the syntax value.
If no value is provided, ""[[text|00001008000000#text]]"" is assumed.

Examples:
* ``A @@-->@@ B`` renders in HTML as ::A @@-->@@ B::{=example}.
* ``@@<small>@@{=html}Small@@</small>@@{=html}`` renders in HTML as ::@@<small>@@{=html}Small@@</small>@@{=html}::{=example}.

To some degree, an inline-zettel snippet is the @@<small>@@{=html}smaller@@</small>@@{=html} sibling of the [[inline-zettel block|00001007031200]].
For HTML syntax, the same rules apply.

=== Math mode / $$\TeX$$ input
This allows to enter text, that is typically interpreted by $$\TeX$$ or similar software.
The main difference to all other literal-like formatting above is that the backslash character (""''\\''"", U+005C) has no special meaning.
Therefore it is well suited to enter text with a lot of backslash characters.
Therefore it is well suited the enter text with a lot of backslash characters.

Math mode text is delimited with two dollar signs (""''$''"", U+0024) on each side.

You can add some [[attributes|00001007050000]] immediate after the two closing at-sign characters to specify the syntax to use.
Either use the attribute key ""syntax"" or use the generic attribute to specify the syntax value.
If no syntax value is provided, math mode text roughly corresponds to literal text.

There are two kinds of links, regardless of links to (internal) other zettel or to (external) material.
Both kinds begin with two consecutive left square bracket characters (""''[''"", U+005B) and end with two consecutive right square bracket characters (""'']''"", U+005D).
Both kinds begin with two consecutive left square bracket characters (""''[''"", U+005B) and ends with two consecutive right square bracket characters (""'']''"", U+005D).
If the content starts with more than two left square bracket characters, all but the last two will be treated as text.

The first form provides some text plus the link specification, delimited by a vertical bar character (""''|''"", U+007C): ``[[text|linkspecification]]``.
The text is a sequence of [[inline elements|00001007040000]].
However, it should not contain links itself.

The second form just provides a link specification between the square brackets.
Its text is derived from the link specification, e.g. by interpreting the link specification as text: ``[[linkspecification]]``.

=== Link specifications
The link specification for another zettel within the same Zettelstore is just the [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]].
To reference some content within a zettel, you can append a number sign character (""''#''"", U+0023) and the name of the mark to the zettel identifier.
The resulting reference is called ""zettel reference"".

If the link specification begins with the string ''query:'', the text following this string will be interpreted as a [[query expression|00001007700000]].
The resulting reference is called ""query reference"".
When this type of reference is rendered, it will typically reference a list of all zettel that fulfills the query expression.
When this type of references is rendered, it will typically reference a list of all zettel that fulfills the query expression.

A link specification starting with one slash character (""''/''"", U+002F), or one or two full stop characters (""''.''"", U+002E) followed by a slash character,
will be interpreted as a local reference, called __hosted reference__.
Such references will be interpreted relative to the web server hosting the Zettelstore.

If a link specification begins with two slash characters (called __based reference__), it will be interpreted relative to the value of [[''url-prefix''|00001004010000#url-prefix]].

To specify some material outside the Zettelstore, just use a normal Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) as defined by [[RFC\ 3986|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc3986]].

Both contain a reference specification and optionally some text.
In contrast to a link, the specification of embedded material must currently resolve to some kind of real content.
This content replaces the embed specification.

An embed specification begins with two consecutive left curly bracket characters (""''{''"", U+007B) and ends with two consecutive right curly bracket characters (""''}''"", U+007D).
The curly brackets delimits either a reference specification or some text, a vertical bar character and the link specification, similar to a link.

Inline-mode transclusion applies to all zettel that are parsed in a non-trivial way, e.g. as structured textual content.
For example, textual content is assumed if the [[syntax|00001006020000#syntax]] of a zettel is ""zmk"" ([[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]]), or ""markdown"" / ""md"" ([[Markdown|00001008010000]]).

Since this type of transclusion is at the level of [[inline-structured elements|00001007040000]], the transclude specification must be replaced with some inline-structured elements.

First, the referenced zettel is read.
If it contains other transclusions, these will be expanded, recursively.
When an endless recursion is detected, expansion does not take place.
Instead an error message replaces the transclude specification.

The result of this (indirect) transclusion is searched for inline-structured elements.

* If only a [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]] was specified, the first top-level [[paragraph|00001007030000#paragraphs]] is used.
* If only an [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]] was specified, the first top-level [[paragraph|00001007030000#paragraphs]] is used.
  Since a paragraph is basically a sequence of inline-structured elements, these elements will replace the transclude specification.

  Example: ``{{00010000000000}}`` (see [[00010000000000]]) is rendered as ::{{00010000000000}}::{=example}.

* If a fragment identifier was additionally specified, the element with the given fragment is searched:
** If it specifies a [[heading|00001007030300]], the next top-level paragraph is used.

   Example: ``{{00010000000000#reporting-errors}}`` is rendered as ::{{00010000000000#reporting-errors}}::{=example}.

** In case the fragment names a [[mark|00001007040350]], the inline-structured elements after the mark are used.
   Initial spaces and line breaks are ignored in this case.

   Example: ``{{00001007040322#spin}}`` is rendered as ::{{00001007040322#spin}}::{=example}.

** Just specifying the fragment identifier will reference something on the current page.
** Just specifying the fragment identifier will reference something in the current page.
   This is not allowed, to prevent a possible endless recursion.

* If the reference is a [[hosted or based|00001007040310#link-specifications]] link / URL to an image, that image will be rendered.

  Example: ``{{//z/00000000040001}}{alt=Emoji}`` is rendered as ::{{//z/00000000040001}}{alt=Emoji}::{=example}

If no inline-structured elements are found, the transclude specification is replaced by an error message.

To avoid an exploding ""transclusion bomb"", a form of [[billion laughs attack|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack]] (also known as ""XML bomb""), the total number of transclusions / expansions is limited.
To avoid an exploding ""transclusion bomb"", a form of a [[billion laughs attack|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Billion_laughs_attack]] (also known as ""XML bomb""), the total number of transclusions / expansions is limited.

A citation key references some external material that is part of a bibliographical collection.

Currently, Zettelstore implements this only partially, it is ""work in progress"".

However, the syntax is: beginning with a left square bracket and followed by an at sign character (""''@''"", U+0040), the citation key is given.

In its simplest form, a search expression just contains a string to be searched for with the help of a full-text search.
In its simplest form, a search expression just contains a string to be search for with the help of a full-text search.
For example, the string ''syntax'' will search for all zettel containing the word ""syntax"".

If you want to search for all zettel with a title containing the word ""syntax"", you must specify ''title:syntax''.
""title"" denotes the [[metadata key|00001006010000]], in this case the [[supported metadata key ""title""|00001006020000#title]].
The colon character (""'':''"") is a [[search operator|00001007705000]], in this example to specify a match.
""syntax"" is the [[search value|00001007706000]] that must match to the value of the given metadata key, here ""title"".

A search term allows you to specify one search restriction.
The result [[search expression|00001007700000]], which contains more than one search term, will be the applications of all restrictions.

A search term can be one of the following (the first three term are collectively called __search literals__):
* A metadata-based search, by specifying the name of a [[metadata key|00001006010000]], followed by a [[search operator|00001007705000]], followed by an optional [[search value|00001007706000]].

  All zettel containing the given metadata key with an allowed value (depending on the search operator) are selected.
  All zettel containing the given metadata key with a allowed value (depending on the search operator) are selected.

  If no search value is given, then all zettel containing the given metadata key are selected (or ignored, for a negated search operator).
* An optional [[search operator|00001007705000]], followed by a [[search value|00001007706000]].

  This specifies a full-text search for the given search value.

  However, the operators ""less"" and ""greater"" are not supported, they are internally translated into the ""match"" operators.

A search operator specifies how the comparison of a search value and a zettel should be executed.
Every comparison is done case-insensitive, treating all uppercase letters the same as lowercase letters.

The following are allowed search operator characters:
* The exclamation mark character (""''!''"", U+0021) negates the meaning.
* The equal sign character (""''=''"", U+003D) compares on equal content (""equals operator"").
* The tilde character (""''~''"", U+007E) compares on matching (""match operator"").
* The left square bracket character (""''[''"", U+005B) matches if there is some prefix (""prefix operator"").
* The right square bracket character (""'']''"", U+005D) compares a suffix relationship (""suffix operator"").
* The colon character (""'':''"", U+003A) compares depending on the on the actual [[key type|00001006030000]] (""has operator"").
  In most cases, it acts as a equals operator, but for some type it acts as the match operator.
* The less-than sign character (""''<''"", U+003C) matches if the search value is somehow less than the metadata value (""less operator"").
* The greater-than sign character (""''>''"", U+003E) matches if the search value is somehow greater than the metadata value (""greater operator"").
* The less-than sign character (""''<''"", U+003C) matches if the search value is somehow less then the metadata value (""less operator"").
* The greater-than sign character (""''>''"", U+003E) matches if the search value is somehow greater then the metadata value (""greater operator"").
* The question mark (""''?''"", U+003F) checks for an existing metadata key (""exist operator"").
  In this case no [[search value|00001007706000]] must be given.

Since the exclamation mark character can be combined with the other, there are 18 possible combinations:
# ""''!''"": is an abbreviation of the ""''!~''"" operator.
# ""''~''"": is successful if the search value matched the value to be compared.
# ""''!~''"": is successful if the search value does not match the value to be compared.

A context directive calculates the __context__ of a list of zettel identifier.
It starts with the keyword ''CONTEXT''.

Optionally you may specify some context details, after the keyword ''CONTEXT'', separated by space characters.
These are:
* ''FULL'': additionally search for zettel with the same tags,
* ''BACKWARD'': search for context only though backward links,
* ''FORWARD'': search for context only through forward links,
* ''COST'': one or more space characters, and a positive integer: set the maximum __cost__ (default: 17),
* ''MAX'': one or more space characters, and a positive integer: set the maximum number of context zettel (default: 200).
* ''MIN'': one or more space characters, and a positive integer: set the minimum number of context zettel (default: 0).
  Takes precedence over ''COST'' and ''MAX''.

If no ''BACKWARD'' and ''FORWARD'' is specified, a search for context zettel will be done though backward and forward links.

The cost of a context zettel is calculated iteratively:
* Each of the specified zettel hast a cost of one.
* A zettel found as a single folge zettel or single precursor zettel has the cost of the originating zettel, plus 0.1.
* A zettel found as a single sequel zettel or single prequel zettel has the cost of the originating zettel, plus 1.0.

After you have [[learned|00001007903000]] the basic concepts and markup of Zettelmarkup (paragraphs, emphasized text, and lists), this zettel introduces you into the concepts of links, thematic breaks, and headings.

=== Links
A Zettelstore is much more useful, if you connect related zettel.
If you read a zettel later, this allows you to know about the context of a zettel.
[[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]] allows you to specify such a connection.
A connection can be specified within a paragraph via [[Links|00001007040310]].

* A link always starts with two left square bracket characters and ends with two right square bracket characters: ''[[...]]''.
* Within these character sequences you specify the [[zettel identifier|00001006050000]] of the zettel you want to reference: ''[[00001007903000]]'' will connect to zettel containing the first steps into Zettelmarkup.
* In addition, you should give the link a more readable description.
  This is done by prepending the description before the reference and use the vertical bar character to separate both: ''[[First Steps|00001007903000]]''.

You are not restricted to reference your zettel.
Alternatively, you might specify a URL of an external website: ''[[Zettelstore|https://zettelstore.de]]''.
Alternatively, you might specify an URL of an external website: ''[[Zettelstore|https://zettelstore.de]]''.
Of course, if you just want to specify the URL, you are allowed to omit the description: ''[[https://zettelstore.de]]''

|= Zettelmarkup | Rendered output | Remark
| ''[[00001007903000]]'' | [[00001007903000]] | If no description is given, the zettel identifier acts as a description
| ''[[First Steps|00001007903000]]'' | [[First Steps|00001007903000]] | The description should be chosen so that you are not confused later
| ''[[https://zettelstore.de]]'' | [[https://zettelstore.de]] | A link to an external URL is rendered differently
| ''[[Zettelstore|https://zettelstore.de]]'' | [[Zettelstore|https://zettelstore.de]] | You can use any URL your browser is able to support

[[CommonMark|https://commonmark.org/]] is a Markdown dialect, an [[attempt|https://xkcd.com/927/]] to unify all the different, divergent dialects of Markdown by providing an unambiguous syntax specification for Markdown, together with a suite of comprehensive tests to validate implementation.

Time will show, if this attempt is successful.

However, CommonMark is a well specified Markdown dialect, in contrast to most (if not all) other dialects.
Other software adopts CommonMark somehow, notably [[GitHub Flavored Markdown|https://github.github.com/gfm/]] (GFM).
But they provide proprietary extensions, which makes it harder to change to another CommonMark implementation if needed.
Plus, they sometimes build on an older specification of CommonMark.

Zettelstore supports the latest CommonMark [[specification version 0.31.2 (2024-01-28)|https://spec.commonmark.org/0.31.2/]].
Zettelstore supports the latest CommonMark [[specification version 0.30 (2021-06-19)|https://spec.commonmark.org/0.30/]].
If possible, Zettelstore will adapt to newer versions when they are available.

To provide CommonMark support, Zettelstore uses currently the [[Goldmark|https://github.com/yuin/goldmark]] implementation, which passes all validation tests of CommonMark.
Effectively, Markdown and CommonMark are super-sets of HTML.
Internally, CommonMark is translated into [[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]].
Internally, CommonMark is translated into some kind of super-set of [[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]], which additionally allows to use HTML code.[^Effectively, Markdown and CommonMark are itself super-sets of HTML.]
Since Zettelmarkup supports HTML content only at the block level via [[Inline Zettel|00001007031200]], most uses of HTML within a CommonMark zettel are not translated as expected.
Instead, inline level HTML is translated into [[literal text|00001007040200#literal-text]] with a [[generic attribute|00001007050000]] set to ``html``.

Therefore, Zettelstore itself will not pass the CommonMark test suite fully.
However, no CommonMark language element except inline HTML will fail to be encoded as HTML.
In most cases, the differences are not visible for a user, but only by comparing the generated HTML code.
This Zettelmarkup super-set is later [[encoded|00001012920500]], often into [[HTML|00001012920510]].
Because Zettelstore HTML encoding philosophy differs a little bit to that of CommonMark, Zettelstore itself will not pass the CommonMark test suite fully.
However, no CommonMark language element will fail to be encoded as HTML.
In most cases, the differences are not visible for an user, but only by comparing the generated HTML code.

Be aware, depending on the value of the startup configuration key [[''insecure-html''|00001004010000#insecure-html]], HTML code found within a CommonMark document or within the mentioned kind of super-set of Zettelmarkup will typically be ignored for security-related reasons.

Your zettel may contain sensitive content.
You probably want to ensure that only authorized persons can read and/or modify them.
Zettelstore ensures this in various ways.

=== Local first
The Zettelstore is designed to run on your local computer.

It is up to you.

If someone is authenticated as the owner of the Zettelstore (hopefully you), no restrictions apply.
But as an owner, you can create ""user zettel"" to allow others to access your Zettelstore in various ways.
Even if you do not want to share your Zettelstore with other persons, creating user zettel can be useful if you plan to access your Zettelstore via the [[API|00001012000000]].

Additionally, you can specify that a zettel is publicly visible.
In this case, nobody has to authenticate themselves to see the contents of the note.
In this case no one has to authenticate itself to see the content of the zettel.
Or you can specify that a zettel is visible only to the owner.
In this case, no authenticated user will be able to read and change that protected zettel.

* [[Visibility rules for zettel|00001010070200]]
* [[User roles|00001010070300]] define basic rights of a user
* [[User roles|00001010070300]] define basic rights of an user
* [[Authorization and read-only mode|00001010070400]]
* [[Access rules|00001010070600]] define the policy which user is allowed to do what operation.

=== Encryption
When Zettelstore is accessed remotely, the messages that are sent between Zettelstore and the client must be encrypted.
Otherwise, an eavesdropper could fetch sensitive data, such as passwords or precious content that is not for the public.
Otherwise, an eavesdropper could fetch sensible data, such as passwords or precious content that is not for the public.

The Zettelstore itself does not encrypt messages.
But you can put a server in front of it, which is able to handle encryption.
Most generic web server software allow this.
Most generic web server software do allow this.

To enforce encryption, [[authenticated sessions|00001010040700]] are marked as secure by default.
If you still want to access the Zettelstore remotely without encryption, you must change the startup configuration.
Otherwise, authentication will not work.

All data used for authenticating a user is stored in a special zettel called ""user zettel"". 
All data to be used for authenticating a user is store in a special zettel called ""user zettel"". 
A user zettel must have set the following two metadata fields:

; ''user-id'' (""user identification"")
: The unique identification to be specified for authentication.
; ''credential''
: A hashed password as generated by the [[``zettelstore password``{=sh}|00001004051400]] command.

A user zettel may additionally contain metadata that [[overwrites corresponding values|00001004020200]] of the [[runtime configuration|00001004020000]].

A user zettel can only be created by the owner of the Zettelstore.

The owner should execute the following steps to create a new user zettel:

# Create a new zettel.
# Save the zettel to get an [[identifier|00001006050000]] for this zettel.
# Save the zettel to get a [[identifier|00001006050000]] for this zettel.
# Choose a unique identification for the user.
#* If the identifier is not unique, authentication will not work for this user.
# Execute the [[``zettelstore password``|00001004051400]] command.
#* You have to specify the user identification and the zettel identifier
#* If you should not know the password of the new user, send her/him the user identification and the user zettel identifier, so that the person can create the hashed password herself.
# Edit the user zettel and add the hashed password under the meta key ''credential'' and the user identification under the key ''user-id''.

# Retrieve all zettel, where the meta key ''user-id'' has the same value as the given user identification. If the list is empty, authentication fails.
# From above list, the zettel with the numerically smallest identifier is selected.
  Or in other words: the oldest zettel is selected[^This is done to prevent an attacker from creating a new note with the same user identification].

If a user is authenticated, an ""access token"" is created that must be sent with every request to prove the identity of the caller.
If an user is authenticated, an ""access token"" is created that must be sent with every request to prove the identity of the caller.
Otherwise the user will not be recognized by Zettelstore.

If the user was authenticated via the [[web user interface|00001014000000]], the access token is stored in a [[""session cookie""|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTTP_cookie#Session_cookie]].
When the web browser is closed, these cookies are not saved.
If you want the web browser to store the cookie for the lifetime of that token, the owner must set ''persistent-cookie'' of the [[startup configuration|00001004010000]] to ''true''.
If you want web browser to store the cookie as long as lifetime of that token, the owner must set ''persistent-cookie'' of the [[startup configuration|00001004010000]] to ''true''.

If the web browser remains inactive for a period, the user will be automatically logged off, because each access token has a limited lifetime.
The maximum length of this period is specified by the ''token-lifetime-html'' value of the startup configuration.
Every time a web page is displayed, a fresh token is created and stored inside the cookie.

If the user was authenticated via the API, the access token will be returned as the content of the response.
Typically, the lifetime of this token is shorter, e.g. 10 minutes.
Typically, the lifetime of this token is more short term, e.g. 10 minutes.
It is specified by the ''token-lifetime-api'' value of the startup configuration.
If you need more time, you can either [[re-authenticate|00001012050200]] the user or use an API call to [[renew the access token|00001012050400]].

If you remotely access your Zettelstore via HTTP (not via HTTPS, which allows encrypted communication), you must set the ''insecure-cookie'' value in the startup configuration to ''true''.
If you remotely access your Zettelstore via HTTP (not via HTTPS, which allows encrypted communication), you must set the ''insecure-cookie'' value of the startup configuration to ''true''.
In most cases, such a scenario is not recommended, because user name and password will be transferred as plain text.
You could use such a scenario if you know all parties that access the local network where you access the Zettelstore.

For every zettel you can specify under which condition the zettel is visible to others.
This is controlled with the metadata key [[''visibility''|00001006020000#visibility]].
The following values are supported:

; [!public|""public""]
: The zettel is visible to everybody, even if the user is not authenticated.

  This is for zettel with sensitive content that might irritate the owner.
  Computed zettel with internal runtime information are examples for such a zettel.

When you install a Zettelstore, only [[some zettel|query:visibility:public]] have visibility ""public"".
One is the zettel that contains [[CSS|00000000020001]] for displaying the [[web user interface|00001014000000]].
This is to ensure that the web interface looks nice even for not authenticated users.
Another is the zettel containing the Zettelstore [[license|00000000000004]].
The [[default image|00000000040001]], used if an image reference is invalid, is also publicly visible.
The [[default image|00000000040001]], used if an image reference is invalid, is also public visible.

Please note: if [[authentication is not enabled|00001010040100]], every user has the same rights as the owner of a Zettelstore.
This is also true, if the Zettelstore runs additionally in [[read-only mode|00001004010000#read-only-mode]].
In this case, the [[runtime configuration zettel|00001004020000]] is shown (its visibility is ""owner"").
The [[startup configuration|00001004010000]] is not shown, because the associated computed zettel with identifier ''00000000000096'' is stored with the visibility ""expert"".
If you want to show such a zettel, you must set ''expert-mode'' to true.

It is possible to enable both the read-only mode of the Zettelstore __and__ authentication/authorization.
Both modes are independent of each other.
Both modes are independent from each other.
This gives four use cases:

; Not read-only, no authorization
: Zettelstore runs on your local computer and you only work with it.

: Zettelstore is accessed remotely.
  You need authentication to ensure that only valid users access your Zettelstore.
; With read-only, no authorization
: Zettelstore presents its full content publicly to everyone.
: Zettelstore present publicly its full content to everybody.

: Nobody is allowed to change the content of the Zettelstore, and only specific zettel should be presented to the public.

The API (short for ""**A**pplication **P**rogramming **I**nterface"") is the primary way to communicate with a running Zettelstore.
Most integration with other systems and services is done through the API.
The [[web user interface|00001014000000]] is just an alternative, secondary way of interacting with a Zettelstore.

=== Background
The API is HTTP-based and uses plain text and [[symbolic expressions|00001012930000]] as its main encoding formats for exchanging messages between a Zettelstore and its client software.

There is an [[overview zettel|00001012920000]] that shows the structure of the endpoints used by the API and gives an indication about its use.

=== Authentication
If [[authentication is enabled|00001010040100]], most API calls must include an [[access token|00001010040700]] that proves the identity of the caller.
* [[Authenticate a user|00001012050200]] to obtain an access token
* [[Authenticate an user|00001012050200]] to obtain an access token
* [[Renew an access token|00001012050400]] without costly re-authentication
* [[Provide an access token|00001012050600]] when doing an API call

=== Zettel lists
* [[List all zettel|00001012051200]]
* [[Query the list of all zettel|00001012051400]]
* [[Determine a tag zettel|00001012051600]]

Authentication for future API calls is done by sending a [[user identification|00001010040200]] and a password to the Zettelstore to obtain an [[access token|00001010040700]].
This token has to be used for other API calls.
It is valid for a relatively short amount of time, as configured with the key ''token-lifetime-api'' of the [[startup configuration|00001004010000#token-lifetime-api]] (typically 10 minutes).

The simplest way is to send user identification (''IDENT'') and password (''PASSWORD'') via [[HTTP Basic Authentication|https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7617]] and send them to the [[endpoint|00001012920000]] ''/a'' with a POST request:
```sh

If you do not want to use Basic Authentication, you can also send user identification and password as HTML form data:
```sh
# curl -X POST -d 'username=IDENT&password=PASSWORD' http://127.0.0.1:23123/a
("Bearer" "eyJhbGciOiJIUzUxMiJ9.eyJfdGsiOjEsImV4cCI6MTY4MTMwNDA4OCwiaWF0IjoxNjgxMzA0MDI4LCJzdWIiOiJvd25lciIsInppZCI6IjIwMjEwNjI5MTYzMzAwIn0.qIEyOMFXykCApWtBaqbSESwTL96stWl2LRICiRNAXUjcY-mwx_SSl9L5Fj2FvmrI1K1RBvWehjoq8KZUNjhJ9Q" 600)
```

In all cases, you will receive a list containing three elements with all [[relevant data|00001012921000]] needed for further API calls.
In all cases, you will receive a list with three elements that will contain all [[relevant data|00001012921000]] to be used for further API calls.

**Important:** obtaining a token is a time-intensive process.
Zettelstore will delay every request to obtain a token for a certain amount of time.
Please take into account that this request will take approximately 500 milliseconds, under certain circumstances more.

However, if [[authentication is not enabled|00001010040100]] and you send an authentication request, no user identification/password checking is done and you receive an artificial token immediately, without any delay:

("Bearer" "freeaccess" 316224000)
```

In this case, it is even possible to omit the user identification/password.

=== HTTP Status codes
In all cases of successful authentication, a list is returned, which contains the token as the second element.
A successful authentication is signaled with the HTTP status code 200, as usual.

Other status codes possibly sent by the Zettelstore:
Other status codes possibly send by the Zettelstore:

; ''401''
: Authentication failed.
  Either the user identification is invalid or you provided the wrong password.
; ''403''
: Authentication is not active.

Zettelstore maintains some internal data to allow faster operations.

One example is the [[content search|00001012051400]] for a term: Zettelstore does not need to scan all zettel to find all occurrences for the term.
Instead, all words are stored internally, with a list of zettel where they occur.

Another example is the way to determine which zettel are stored in a [[ZIP file|00001004011200]].
Scanning a ZIP file is a lengthy operation, therefore Zettelstore maintains a directory of zettel for each ZIP file.

All these internal data may become stale.
This should not happen, but when it comes e.g. to file handling, every operating system behaves differently in very subtle ways.

A zettel representation that is a [[s-expression|00001012930000]], syntactically similar to the [[Sz encoding|00001012920516]], but denotes [[HTML|00001012920510]] semantics.
It is derived from a XML encoding in s-expressions, called [[SXML|https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SXML]].

It is (relatively) easy to parse and contains everything to transform it into real HTML.
In contrast to HTML, SHTML is easier to parse and to manipulate.
For example, take a look at the SHTML encoding of this page, which is available via the ""Info"" sub-page of this zettel: 

Internally, if a zettel should be transformed into HTML, the zettel is translated into the [[Sz encoding|00001012920516]], which is transformed into this SHTML encoding to produce the [[HTML encoding|00001012920510]].

=== Syntax of SHTML
There are only two types of elements: atoms and lists, similar to the Sz encoding.

A list always starts with the left parenthesis (""''(''"", U+0028) and ends with a right parenthesis (""'')''"", U+0029).
A list may contain a possibly empty sequence of elements, i.e. lists and / or atoms.
Before the last element of a list of at least two elements, a full stop character (""''.''"", U+002E) signal a pair as the last two elements.
Before the last element of a list of at least to elements, a full stop character (""''.''"", U+002E) signal a pair as the last two elements.
This allows a more space economic storage of data.

An HTML tag like ``< a href="link">Text</a>`` is encoded in SHTML with a list, where the first element is a symbol named a the tag.
The second element is an optional encoding of the tag's attributes.
Further elements are either other tag encodings or a string.
The above tag is encoded as ``(a (@ (href . "link")) "Text")``.
Also possible is to encode the attribute without pairs: ``(a (@ (href "link")) "Text")`` (note the missing full stop character).

=== Syntax of lists
A list always starts with the left parenthesis (""''(''"", U+0028) and ends with a right parenthesis (""'')''"", U+0029).
A list may contain a possibly empty sequence of elements, i.e. lists and / or atoms.

Internally, lists are composed of __cells__.
A cell allows to store two values.

=== Syntax of numbers (atom)
A number is a non-empty sequence of digits (""0"" ... ""9"").
The smallest number is ``0``, there are no negative numbers.

=== Syntax of symbols (atom)
A symbol is a non-empty sequence of printable characters, except left or right parenthesis.
Unicode characters of the following categories contain printable characters in the above sense: letter (L), number (N), punctuation (P), symbol (S).
Unicode characters of the following categories contains printable characters in the above sense: letter (L), number (N), punctuation (P), symbol (S).
Symbols are case-sensitive, i.e. ""''ZETTEL''"" and ""''zettel''"" denote different symbols.

=== Syntax of strings (atom)
=== Syntax of string (atom)

A string starts with a quotation mark (""''"''"", U+0022), contains a possibly empty sequence of Unicode characters, and ends with a quotation mark.
To allow a string to contain a quotation mark, it must be prefixed by one backslash (""''\\''"", U+005C).
To allow a string to contain a quotations mark, it must be prefixed by one backslash (""''\\''"", U+005C).
To allow a string to contain a backslash, it also must be prefixed by one backslash.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FF are encoded by the sequence ""''\\xNM''"", where ''NM'' is the hex encoding of the character.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FFFF are encoded by the sequence ""''\\uNMOP''"", where ''NMOP'' is the hex encoding of the character.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FFFFFF are encoded by the sequence ""''\\UNMOPQR''"", where ''NMOPQR'' is the hex encoding of the character.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FF are encoded by by the sequence ""''\\xNM''"", where ''NM'' is the hex encoding of the character.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FFFF are encoded by by the sequence ""''\\uNMOP''"", where ''NMOP'' is the hex encoding of the character.
Unicode characters with a code less than U+FFFFFF are encoded by by the sequence ""''\\UNMOPQR''"", where ''NMOPQR'' is the hex encoding of the character.
In addition, the sequence ""''\\t''"" encodes a horizontal tab (U+0009), the sequence ""''\\n''"" encodes a line feed (U+000A).

Zettel in a [[Sz encoding|00001012920516]] are represented as a [[symbolic expression|00001012930000]].
To process these symbolic expressions, you need to know, how a specific part of a zettel is represented by a symbolic expression.

Basically, each part of a zettel is represented as a list, often a nested list.
The first element of that list is always a unique symbol, which denotes that part.
The first element of that list is always an unique symbol, which denotes that part.
The meaning / semantic of all other elements depend on that symbol.

=== Zettel
A full zettel is represented by a list of two elements.
The first elements represents the metadata, the second element represents the zettel content.

A single metadata (""metadatum"") is represented by a triple: a symbol representing the type, a symbol representing the key, and either a string or a list that represent the value.

The symbol depends on the [[metadata key type|00001006030000]].
The value also depends somehow on the key type: a set of values is represented as a list, all other values are represented by a string, even if it is a number.

The following table maps key types to symbols and to the type of the value representation.

|=Key Type<| Symbol<| Value<
| [[Credential|00001006031000]] | ''CREDENTIAL'' | string

=== Welcome Zettel
* **Problem:** You want to put your Zettelstore into the public and need a starting zettel for your users.
  In addition, you still want a ""home zettel"", with all your references to internal, non-public zettel.
  Zettelstore only allows specifying one [[''home-zettel''|00001004020000#home-zettel]].
  Zettelstore only allows to specify one [[''home-zettel''|00001004020000#home-zettel]].
* **Solution 1:**
*# Create a new zettel with all your references to internal, non-public zettel.
   Let's assume this zettel receives the zettel identifier ''20220803182600''.
*# Create the zettel that should serve as the starting zettel for your users.
   It must have syntax [[Zettelmarkup|00001008000000#zmk]], i.e. the syntax metadata must be set to ''zmk''.
   If needed, set the runtime configuration [[''home-zettel''|00001004020000#home-zettel]] to the value of the identifier of this zettel.
   If needed, set the runtime configuration [[''home-zettel|00001004020000#home-zettel]] to the value of the identifier of this zettel.
*# At the beginning of the start zettel, add the following [[Zettelmarkup|00001007000000]] text in a separate paragraph: ``{{{20220803182600}}}`` (you have to adapt to the actual value of the zettel identifier for your non-public home zettel).
* **Discussion:** As stated in the description for a [[transclusion|00001007031100]], a transclusion will be ignored, if the transcluded zettel is not visible to the current user.
  In effect, the transclusion statement (above paragraph that contained ''{{{...}}}'') is ignored when rendering the zettel.
* **Solution 2:** Set a user-specific value by adding metadata ''home-zettel'' to the [[user zettel|00001010040200]].
* **Discussion:** A value for ''home-zettel'' is first searched in the user zettel of the current authenticated user.
  Only if it is not found, the value is looked up in the runtime configuration zettel.
  If multiple user should use the same home zettel, its zettel identifier must be set in all relevant user zettel.

  In general, the mapping must follow the pattern: ``(ROLE . ID)``, where ''ROLE'' is the placeholder for the role, and ''ID'' for the zettel identifier containing CSS code.
  For example, if you also want the role ""configuration"" to be rendered using that CSS, the code should be something like ``(set! CSS-ROLE-map '(("zettel" . "20220825200100") ("configuration" . "20220825200100")))``.
* **Discussion:** you have to ensure that the CSS zettel is allowed to be read by the intended audience of the zettel with that given role.
  For example, if you made zettel with a specific role public visible, the CSS zettel must also have a [[''visibility: public''|00001010070200]] metadata.

=== Zettel synchronization with iCloud (Apple)
* **Problem:** You use Zettelstore on various macOS computers and you want to use the same set of zettel across all computers.
* **Problem:** You use Zettelstore on various macOS computers and you want to use the sameset of zettel across all computers.
* **Solution:** Place your zettel in an iCloud folder.

  To configure Zettelstore to use the folder, you must specify its location within your directory structure as [[''box-uri-X''|00001004010000#box-uri-x]] (replace ''X'' with an appropriate number).
  To configure Zettelstore to use the folder, you must specify its location within you directory structure as [[''box-uri-X''|00001004010000#box-uri-x]] (replace ''X'' with an appropriate number).
  Your iCloud folder is typically placed in the folder ''~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs''.
  The ""''~''"" is a shortcut and specifies your home folder.

  Unfortunately, Zettelstore does not yet support this shortcut.
  Therefore you must replace it with the absolute name of your home folder.
  In addition, a space character is not allowed in a URI.
  In addition, a space character is not allowed in an URI.
  You have to replace it with the sequence ""''%20''"".

  Let us assume, that you stored your zettel box inside the folder ""zettel"", which is located top-level in your iCloud folder.
  In this case, you must specify the following box URI within the startup configuration: ''box-uri-1: dir:///Users/USERNAME/Library/Mobile%20Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs/zettel'', replacing ''USERNAME'' with the username of that specific computer (and assuming you want to use it as the first box).
* **Solution 2:** If you typically start your Zettelstore on the command line, you could use the ''-d DIR'' option for the [[''run''|00001004051000#d]] sub-command.
  In this case you are allowed to use the character ""''~''"".

  ''zettelstore run -d ~/Library/Mobile\\ Documents/com\\~apple\\~CloudDocs/zettel''

  (The ""''\\''"" is needed by the command line processor to mask the following character to be processed in unintended ways.)
* **Discussion:** Zettel files are synchronized between your computers via iCloud.
  It does not matter, if one of your computers is offline or switched off.
  Is does not matter, if one of your computer is offline / switched off.
  iCloud will synchronize the zettel files if it later comes online.

  However, if you use more than one computer simultaneously, you must be aware that synchronization takes some time.
  It might take several seconds, maybe longer, that the new version of a zettel appears on the other computer.
  It might take several seconds, maybe longer, that new new version of a zettel appears on the other computer.
  If you update the same zettel on multiple computers at nearly the same time, iCloud will not be able to synchronize the different versions in a safe manner.
  Zettelstore is intentionally not aware of any synchronization within its zettel boxes.

  If Zettelstore behaves strangely after a synchronization took place, the page about [[Troubleshooting|00001018000000#working-with-files]] might contain some useful information.

This page lists some problems and their solutions that may occur when using your Zettelstore.

=== Installation
* **Problem:** When you double-click on the Zettelstore executable icon, macOS complains that Zettelstore is an application from an unknown developer.
  Therefore, it will not start Zettelstore.
** **Solution:** Press the ''Ctrl'' key while opening the context menu of the Zettelstore executable with a right-click.
   A dialog is then opened where you can acknowledge that you understand the possible risks when you start Zettelstore.
   This dialog is only presented once for a given Zettelstore executable.
   This dialog is only resented once for a given Zettelstore executable.
* **Problem:** When you double-click on the Zettelstore executable icon, Windows complains that Zettelstore is an application from an unknown developer.
** **Solution:** Windows displays a dialog where you can acknowledge possible risks and allow to start Zettelstore.

=== Authentication
* **Problem:** [[Authentication is enabled|00001010040100]] for a local running Zettelstore and there is a valid [[user zettel|00001010040200]] for the owner.
  But entering user name and password at the [[web user interface|00001014000000]] seems to be ignored, while entering a wrong password will result in an error message.
** **Explanation:** A local running Zettelstore typically means, that you are accessing the Zettelstore using an URL with schema ''http://'', and not ''https://'', for example ''http://localhost:23123''.
   The difference between these two is the missing encryption of user name / password and for the answer of the Zettelstore if you use the ''http://'' schema.
   To be secure by default, the Zettelstore will not work in an insecure environment.
** **Solution 1:** If you are sure that your communication medium is safe, even if you use the ''http:/\/'' schema (for example, you are running the Zettelstore on the same computer you are working on, or if the Zettelstore is running on a computer in your protected local network), then you could add the entry ''insecure-cookie: true'' in your [[startup configuration|00001004010000#insecure-cookie]] file.
** **Solution 1:** If you are sure that your communication medium is safe, even if you use the ''http:/\/'' schema (for example, you are running the Zettelstore on the same computer you are working on, or if the Zettelstore is running on a computer in your protected local network), then you could add the entry ''insecure-cookie: true'' in you [[startup configuration|00001004010000#insecure-cookie]] file.
** **Solution 2:** If you are not sure about the security of your communication medium (for example, if unknown persons might use your local network), then you should run an [[external server|00001010090100]] in front of your Zettelstore to enable the use of the ''https://'' schema.

=== Working with Zettel Files
* **Problem:** When you delete a zettel file by removing it from the ""disk"", e.g. by dropping it into the trash folder, by dragging into another folder, or by removing it from the command line, Zettelstore sometimes does not detect the change.
* **Problem:** When you delete a zettel file by removing it from the ""disk"", e.g. by dropping it into the trash folder, by dragging into another folder, or by removing it from the command line, Zettelstore sometimes did not detect that change.
  If you access the zettel via Zettelstore, an error is reported.
** **Explanation:** Sometimes, the operating system does not tell Zettelstore about the removed zettel.
   This occurs mostly under MacOS.
** **Solution 1:** If you are running Zettelstore in [[""simple-mode""|00001004051100]] or if you have enabled [[''expert-mode''|00001004020000#expert-mode]], you are allowed to refresh the internal data by selecting ""Refresh"" in the Web User Interface (you can find in the menu ""Lists"").
** **Solution 1:** If you are running Zettelstore in [[""simple-mode""|00001004051100]] or if you have enabled [[''expert-mode''|00001004020000#expert-mode]], you are allowed to refresh the internal data by selecting ""Refresh"" in the Web User Interface (you find it in the menu ""Lists"").
** **Solution 2:** There is an [[API|00001012080500]] call to make Zettelstore aware of this change.
** **Solution 3:** If you have an enabled [[Administrator Console|00001004100000]] you can use the command [[''refresh''|00001004101000#refresh]] to make your changes visible.
** **Solution 4:** You configure the zettel box as [[""simple""|00001004011400]].
