ToText is a collection of bash scripts for using an annotation system with md files. It builds upon the desktop wiki GitHub - zim-desktop-wiki/zim-desktop-wiki: Main repository of the zim desktop wiki project. The md files are describing every given file on your file system. The created md file is showing up in zim. So you can search and annotate a file in zim wiki. Some scripts connect zim with the file manager [dolphin](Dolphin - KDE Applications) and the web browser firefox. The scripts are working on Linux machines like Ubuntu, Archlinux, Fedora, Suse. The scipts begin with the shortcut tt for ToText. For updates see the CHANGELOG-JOURNAL.md file. The ToText uses the following tools:

• wget

• xidel

• scrot

• sed

• zenity and yad

• firefox addon external application

• firefox addon zim clip

• noweb - noweb.py repository

• mypaint
