    Funny you should mention!

    I'm not much of a programmer or designer at all, but probably my most popular thing is the "EightFiveZero" theme I made for Zim, which the author of Zim linked to from the wiki and makes me almost feel like a real programmer or something.

    Ahah, I found the tables! You have to go into Zim's settings and enable them as an addon in there. Ty, I thought there was no support whatsoever (other than putting pictures of tables in https://github.com/jaap-karssenberg/zim-wiki/wiki/Create-a-t... ).

    Indeed it still seems a bit limited. Nothing like Firefox's in-built table editor used to be (this is the one in Thunderbird, which is quite nice). I wish they hadn't removed that feature :|

    Treesheets is a beautiful program, but I'm too much of a pen-and-paper + plaintext notes person to appreciate it properly.

    2. Once you're there, click the "wiki" word down in the grey footer. A checkmark will appear next to the word "wiki."

    3. Double-click a paragraph and edit. Ctrl-s saves. The page you edited will gain a yellow halo. The yellow indicates that your changes are only being saved in your browser's local storage for now. (If you have your own site and are logged in, changes will be saved on the server.)

    I run my own Federated Wiki (fedwiki) server. You can also just run it locally (which I do sometimes). It requires nodejs. I was a bit fussy with my server setup and have lighttpd as reverse proxy (I think that's the correct terminology) and 'supervisor' as nodejs babysitter, but most (all?) of that is not strictly necessary. fedwiki can just run on its own and serve its own pages.
