@hyde I usually pick between straight HTML, Markdown, or an SSG depending on the depth of the project I'm taking notes on. I haven't been in school since learning Vim, but I've seen blog posts of people using LaTeX in NeoVim to take live notes in class, which I find impressive. I've written some LaTeX myself, but not usually for knowledge management. Is any of that something you'd be interested in?

@hyde I use the obsidian.nvim plugin. Obsidian itself is not required (indeed, I hardly ever use it), but it provides tools to maintain a folder of notes that is compatible with Obsidian's systems, such as linked notes, yaml metadata, tags, and note aliases. It provides completion for note links — probably its most useful feature. The original maintainer's version was quite opinionated, the currently maintained fork is gradually becoming less-so.

@hyde I'm in a stage where I don't really know what I'm doing, I'm only sure I want Markdown for readability without a parser and portablity. Currently trying to setup obsidian.nvim, but that may change in the future. What I actually lack is an organization system that works for me, the tool will be easier to find after that. 🙂

@hyde I do this but in probably the least interesting way: a folder with markdown files in it, that I happen to edit with neovim. Links to other notes are just `[.md]` (when I remember).

@hyde I am team #AsciiDoc, so I am using #Antora since a while for rendering. With the extension #lunr search this gives me a very good experience. I am also using #Obsidian privately, because there is a comfortable app for Android and I can sync my notes using Git. I tried #Neorg, but did not have the patience to dive deeper into that. #Fediverse #notes #Vim #neovim #blog #writing #plaintext #mastodon

@hyde I do... for more than 20 years From scratch. My own syntax My own macros My own index and links system. Certainly not the best (nothing standard) and very messy but i can't find other tools more suited to my needs (and when something miss, i can simply add it).
