Why Use Jrju?
Jrju was designed for speed and simplicity. Most computer users understand how to use plain text to express themselves (email for example). Jrju ups the ante only slightly, adding a heirarchical structure to a collection of plain text notes. Consider the following:
- Plain text is universal. Notes can be taken anywhere, anytime, on any type of computing device.
- The JTX markup format is easy to learn. A novice can learn the rudiments in five minutes or less.
- Jrju scales well. Notebooks grow in complexity as more content is added. Memory available to run the program is the only limitation on notebook size.
- Jrju takes over the burden of creating and maintaining hypertext links. Hypertext authoring becomes more natural and robust.
- Jrju was written in Perl. Perl interpreters are available for most computers at no charge.
