For Zettlr 4.0, we have put some extra effort in rewriting the citation parser. Now, your citations will be properly highlighted and detected. This improves performance, user experience, and implements more citation features.
Oh, and the citation renderer now properly detects crossrefs!

Another place that has received a glow-up for the upcoming Zettlr 4.0 is the statistics window. We've improved the calendar view with a proper heatmap, and the chart view with a proper, readable bar chart that is easier to parse.

The holiday season is upon us. As we collectively think about what do get for our families, why not also give a bit to the apps we use every day?
A monthly donation to Zettlr is sustainable: you will never lose access to it, even if you cancel! Your app – your data.

The benefits of domain knowledge: I'm currently in a paper submission phase and the journal has a word limit of 10k. But Zettlr didn't allow viewing the total word count across an entire project.
Now it does.
(Coming with the next update, hopefully before Christmas — we have a TON in store!)

It's not the content I normally post, but after this weekend I finally managed to finish up a very large project.
The last thing that I needed to do was read an image from the clipboard, and I cannot NOT share with you the insane amount of work that takes.
