A zettel representation can be encoded in various formats for further processing.
These formats can be retrieved via the [API](00001012000000):

* [html](00001012920510)
* [md](00001012920513)
* [shtml](00001012920525)
* [sz](00001012920516)
* [text](00001012920519)
* [zmk](00001012920522)

The following encodings are only meaningful for [parsed](00001012053600) zettel, but not for [evaluated](00001012053500) zettel:

* [data](00001012920528)
* [plain](00001012920531)
