Urtext Core Library

This repository

This repository is the core Urtext library in Python. It has no user interface and requires an implementation in a text editor (see Implementations).

What Urtext Is

Urtext /ˈʊrtekst/ is an open-source syntax and interpreter for plaintext writing, research, documentation, knowledge bases, journaling, Zettelkasten, project/personal organization, note taking, a lightweight database substitute, or any other writing or information management that can be done in text format. See https://urtext.co for more information.

Implementations

Currently there are implementations for Desktop (Windows/Mac/Linux) using Sublime Text and iOS using Pythonista.

Sublime Text

The implementation in Sublime Text is a Sublime Text Package, with all dependencies, that also includes a syntax definition, themes, and default keybindings. Its repository is https://github.com/nbeversl/UrtextSublime.

It can be installed using Package Control, though it has its own package control channel.

Installation instructions are here: https://urtext.co/setup/sublime-text/.

iOS

There is an implementation for iOS using Pythonista. The repository for this implementation is at urtext_pythonista and utilizes Sublemon, a simple custom editor created just for this implementation that provides syntax highlighting and a custom keyboard.

An install script is available that downloads all dependencies in a single step. For instructions, see that repository or https://urtext.co/setup/ios-using-pythonista/.
