Recently I tried if there are alternatives to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zettlr.com\/\">zettlr<\/a>, but unsuccessfully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Zettlr<\/strong> is a very good md editor, open source and customizable, WYSIWYG but respectful of your control of code. Its mayor limit is that cannot recognize symlinks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Typora<\/strong> has almost all the pros of Zettlr (except the automatic replacement of &#8220;), and can recognize symlinks, but it&#8217;s not open source. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>MdSilo<\/strong> is not too bad: wysing, open source, can open symlinked files. A bit elementar, no much customizable.<br><strong>MarkFlowy<\/strong> seems very good. Very interesting. Open source, it can read symlinks, and is more customizable than MdSilo, even less than Zettlr. But some doubts about its respect of your <em>privacy<\/em> (its auth certificate was seen as malicious by Firefox).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other md editors are <strong>far worse:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"215\" class=\"wp-image-3438\" style=\"width: 150px;\" src=\"https:\/\/digitalia.culturanuova.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gabbia-ucceli.png\" alt=\"gabbia\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digitalia.culturanuova.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gabbia-ucceli.png 348w, https:\/\/digitalia.culturanuova.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/gabbia-ucceli-210x300.png 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>Many of them don&#8217;t allow you to open not only symlinked files, but <strong>any<\/strong> existing external file.
