Field notes
The application uses semantic pagination for Markdown documents exceeding 8,000 lines or 500 KB, while retaining linked outline, search, formulas, and reading position. Its conversion pipeline covers office files, PDFs, HTML, LaTeX, web material, and scans; citation workflows can draw from a neighboring BibTeX library. The page also describes platform-specific local OCR through Windows WinRT and macOS Apple Vision, keeping scanned material inside the desktop workflow.
