CherryTree VS OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown

I am started using CherryTree. (There is a screenshot here.)

I wonder if an extensible editor (example: Atom) could do both of those things with Markdown files. Assuming by styling you mean things like being able to highlight and custom-style some text, even in a typically text-only view of a markdown file. It wouldn't be a big surprise if that could be done...somehow. Collapsible points ought to be doable for sure.

Personally I use other methods for styling within markdown, for example emoji, tags, link formatting with brackets (for things that are not really links), etc.

I also take any list that's longer than 8-10 items and break it up by category or reorganize it so it's less visually overwhelming.

Otherwise you may find it helpful to look into more rich-editor-style notetaking solutions like cherrytree or Notecase Pro. The latter is proprietary but I used it for years and was very happy with it. Good luck in your search.

I'm kinda surprised no one mentioned cherrytree yet.

I use FocusWriter. It's a lightweight, full-screen app that does more than enough for a manuscript. I used to use Google Docs with Wavemaker, which has a lot of extra functions like cards and timelines, etc. Docs slowed down a lot with a lot of open windows or really long docs, however. And with WFH the sync isn't that important to me anymore. For notes lately I've been using CheeryTree. All these are free.

CherryTree for a general note-taking database. As an Application Packager I can't remember PowerShell scripts I wrote two weeks ago, so saving my recipes in here is priceless.

How do you keep track of/document everything? I have been using Cherry Tree. It is a fancy open source note taking program that lets you keep notes in a tree like structure.

Thank you! Yes, I used https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown and included vulnerability details, as well as how to fix the vulnerability and it got lengthy which I think was unnecessary, but I tried to make it nice and be thorough. I probably should've put more time in trying to fix the other issues I had but oh well.

I am in the process of redacting my report. In fact, I have already documented all 10 machines and all exercises in the lab. However, i have still a question regarding the expected content of it, as the official template as well as some famous templates such as this one mention a whole introduction section containing among all introduction, objectives, requirements, methodologies...

Here a good starting point: https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown

Also you can take a look at the OSWE Exam Report Template in Markdown I you prefer to avoid Word.

I wrote my reports in Markdown using the format here. I researched more about pandoc and decided to convert my Markdown documents to docx first, edit them in LibreOffice (Page Breaks, better Table of Contents), and export them to PDF for submission Test your report conversion before the exam. This helped me figure out issues with my report conversion before the exam (issues with special characters in my terminal), and switch to a system that works. Another good report format can be found here, this one provides resources

However things I did do right was to right the whole thing in markdown in obsidian. I used flameshot to get all my screenshots and converted the markdown to a pdf with eisvogel using this GitHub as a template https://github.com/noraj/OSCP-Exam-Report-Template-Markdown
