Neuron is a command-line app for managing a plain-text Zettelkasten.
While there is some overlap with zk
's features, both tools are actually useful when paired together:
zk
has powerful filtering and note generation capabilities- Neuron shines with its static website generation
Close integration with Neuron was thought through from the start when designing zk
. For example, Neuron's Folgezettel syntax is supported: [[[link]]]
, #[[link]]
and [[link]]#
.
But you can make your notebook even more tightly integrated with Neuron by:
- using the same settings as Neuron to generate the note IDs in the note configuration
[note] filename = "{{id}}" id-charset = "hex" id-length = 8 id-case = "lower"
- adding command aliases for your frequently used
neuron
commands[alias] serve = "neuron gen -wS" gen = "neuron gen -o public"
Emanote is neuron's successor. For Emanote-specific configuration, see https://emanote.srid.ca/start/resources/zk.
