DESCRIPTION

26       Zim  is  a  graphical text editor used to maintain a collection of wiki
27       pages. Each page can contain links to other pages,  simple  formatting,
28       and  images.  Pages  are  stored in a folder structure, like in an out‐
29       liner, and can have attachments.  Creating a new page  is  as  easy  as
30       linking  to  a nonexistent page. All data is stored in plain text files
31       with wiki formatting. Various plugins provide additional functionality,
32       like  a task list manager, an equation editor, a tray icon, and support
33       for version control.
