plug ins, I went with:

Highlighr

-It gives a variety of different highlighting colors

Footnote shortcut

-Helps keeps things clean for referencing in your notes.

Trash Explorer

-Helps quickly recover "trashed" notes

Templater

-Set up templates for quickly creating a template for basic assessment and note taking.

--I'm still looking into Nostr Writer and also into Dataview for better metadata organization as the note count grows.
