ConnectedText (also abbreviated as CT) is a Personal Wiki which runs on Windows, or on the MAC OS using a Windows emulator. Articles are written in plain text in CT's own markup language. When viewing articles they are styled by a standard HTML CSS file. The markup language contains many directives for classification and linkage and can also be scripted using the Python programming language.
Connected Text is very, very, very powerful, but not very intuitive or interactive. It has a separate viewing and editing mode so what you see when editing is not what you get when viewing. The program takes a lot of learning to be able to use it fluently.
The structure of the collection of articles can take whatever structure the user wants it to be, although most times it does end up looking like a web page.
Tables have to be thought through beforehand and carefully programmed, this is usually an iterative process.
It was designed by Eduardo Mauro. It stores topics in a SQL database, maintaining a complete revision history. It is possible to open several workspaces (Wiki's) at the same time. It includes full-text search and a graph navigator which show topic links.
