Welcome to xettel’s documentation!
xettel is a Zettelkasten management software backed by xapian.
xettel provides a way to store your Zettels in a Zettelkasten that allows
for full-text search using xapian as its backend. The interface xettel
provides searching is similar to that of notmuch. One of the core design
principles of xettel is to be completely agnostic as to the format the
end-user stores their Zettels in. Should they wish to store their Zettels in an
exotic format, say, .docx, if they are able to provide a class that extracts
the information for xettel, they will be able to use the software just like
with simple markdown files.
Beyond providing a search interface, xettel also provides ways to export the
Zettels in another format, for instance, .html, health checks such as
weak-connectivity of the whole Zettelkasten and can also produce a map of the
links.
