If you want to make it a background script, try re-using the code of the tasklist plugin for accessing the index. No zim's "@" syntax does not predate the twitter convention. But you will find there are older systems using "@" for tags as well. Main reason I choose this syntax is that in HTML "#" is used for anchors, which is a feature we still want to add to zim. > Also, I noted some discussion of tables.

No need to have one-size-fits all in this respect. See previous discussion on this list, as well as various syntax related feature requests in the bug tracker. Regards, Jaap
