Create a personal knowledge base and share your knowledge with your peers.
|
|
|
|
Wowchemy web framework empowers you with one of the most flexible note-taking capabilities out there.
|
|
|
|
Create a powerful knowledge base that works on top of a local folder of plain text Markdown files.
|
|
|
|
Use it as your second brain, either publicly sharing your knowledge with your peers via your website, or via a private GitHub repository and password-protected site just for yourself.

## Mindmaps
|
|
|
|
Wowchemy supports a Markdown extension for mindmaps.
|
|
|
|
With this open format, can even edit your mindmaps in other popular tools such as Obsidian.
|
|
|
|
Simply insert a Markdown code block labelled as `markmap` and optionally set the height of the mindmap as shown in the example below.
|
|
|
|
Mindmaps can be created by simply writing the items as a Markdown list within the `markmap` code block, indenting each item to create as many sub-levels as you need:
|
|
|
|
<div class="highlight">
|
|
<pre class="chroma">
|
|
<code>
|
|
```markmap {height="200px"}
|
|
- Hugo Modules
|
|
- wowchemy
|
|
- blox-plugins-netlify
|
|
- blox-plugins-netlify-cms
|
|
- blox-plugins-reveal
|
|
```
|
|
</code>
|
|
</pre>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
```markmap {height="200px"}
|
|
- Hugo Modules
|
|
- wowchemy
|
|
- blox-plugins-netlify
|
|
- blox-plugins-netlify-cms
|
|
- blox-plugins-reveal
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Anh here's a more advanced mindmap with formatting, code blocks, and math:
|
|
|
|
<div class="highlight">
|
|
<pre class="chroma">

## Highlighting
|
|
|
|
<mark>Highlight</mark> important text with `mark`:
|
|
|
|
```html
|
|
<mark>Highlighted text</mark>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Callouts
|
|
|
|
Use [callouts](https://docs.hugoblox.com/reference/markdown/#callouts) (aka _asides_, _hints_, or _alerts_) to draw attention to notes, tips, and warnings.
|
|
|
|
By wrapping a paragraph in `{{%/* callout note */%}} ... {{%/* /callout */%}}`, it will render as an aside.
|
|
|
|
```markdown
|
|
{{%/* callout note */%}}
|
|
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
|
|
{{%/* /callout */%}}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
renders as
|
|
|
|
{{% callout note %}}
|
|
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
|
|
{{% /callout %}}
|
|
|
|
Or use the `warning` callout type so your readers don't miss critical details:
|
|
|
|
{{% callout warning %}}
|
|
A Markdown aside is useful for displaying notices, hints, or definitions to your readers.
|
|
{{% /callout %}}
