aasvg VS Zettlr

> I think so-called ASCII-art is more in the spirit of Markdown.

If you're simply doing a less on a file, then sure. But if you want to do a 'render' on the Markdown and convert it to another format (HTML, PDF) then having a mechanism that can translate ASCII to something graphical could be useful.

In some ways this is what the DOT language does in Graphviz:

I'm not sure if there's a way to have both ASCII art and it be renderable to graphics. Closest that I could find:

I wanted to apply this theme (https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/discussion/3211) to my Zettlr, as these preset themes are kind of an eye sore. But, while it changes the toolbar and surrounding menus, it does not apply any changes whatsoever to the editor.

I can't recommend the Zettlekasten Method enough: https://zettelkasten.de/introduction/

You can do it with index cards or you can use software to practice the method and grow your note collection. I now prefer Zettlr (https://www.zettlr.com) after using Joplin (https://joplinapp.org), which are both FOSS.

One of the core strategies of the Zettlekasten Method is to link notes to each other. That's how knowledge grows: connections and synthesis (internalization/application of the connections)

Here's a 3-year-old video on the method that serves as a good primer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFZHuWLA09M

Zettlr - Price: Free (with optional donations) Markdown editor for Mac that features a user-friendly interface and advanced features for writers.

I discovered recently [logseq](https://logseq.com/) and it's beautiful. I use quite a lot Zettlr for taking notes on concepts and ideas but I have to say that logseq has become my starting point for daily, short, notes and tasks. I need to work on an integration with Zettlr however, I like the possibility of the latter to organize and connect the texts, especially convenient when writing essays.
