Far not all applications need SQLite. And SQLite is a bit fatty. In most cases built-in Sciter's NoSQL DB is enough, see: https://github.com/c-smile/sciter-js-sdk/tree/main/docs/md/s... .

There is no standard way of representing HTML in clipboard on Linux/GTK. Unfortunately. Even plain text has multiple, conflicting formats. Sciter definitely puts text in GTK clipboard. And it works as far as I can tell, proof: https:&

No. Sciter was born from my old WYSIWYG editor that I did for EverNote. Here is the story: https://sciter.com/10-years-road-to-sciter/ and here with photo: https://notes.sciter.com/2017/09/11&

You just highlighted problems of Markdown. HTML supports wide range of applications. Even basic HTML provided more semantic value. You can use it as for articles as for structured documentation. As it supports hierarchical structure + class
