I recently upgraded to Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.04 and it comes with some changes. Zim wiki is now completely python and much faster and clearly cleaner and more attractive. Thunderbird 3 is also very nice. Upgrade went easily, but some questions were difficult, like: "The quantum entanglement of multiple simultaneous realities has caused a Gamma Ray Burst, continue, Yes or No".
It seems that the equation references in Zim are slightly different and so I devised this little tidbit to bring harmony back to the universe of Zim, Zimpy, and perhaps python itself. The point of this is to take {{./Dir/equation_xx}} and convert it to {{./equation_xx}}. I could have used grep, sed, awk or C, but python is a clean language and I think it is more understandable when viewed by others.
