    Ok cool, scenario: I'm often writing a lot of company/place/etc names in as
    [[Microsoft]]
    [[Melbourne]]
    and then I autogenerate all the notes to flesh out later, then manually go and lowercase them all.

    Is this version difference anything to worry about?
    npx dendron --version
    = 0.95.1
    dendron --version
    = 0.84.0

    It means you have an old version installed globally, you'll want to upgrade it
    npm install --global @dendronhq/dendron:latest
    (I think) or uninstall it

    Doing some custom theme mods, before I go too far down the rabbit hole I'm guessing
    font-family
    can't be from an import such as from Google Fonts or whatever yet?

    Did you mean by hand? I think there are some VSCode snippets you can use. They should show up with autocomplete. You can also do it with templates: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/GelEQPZrSgr3CK9y10Nrg/#template-variable-replacement

    You could link the fonts with a custom header: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/YsEvJdnP5egPF1M6uvMBh/

    Yes, by hand. I'm compiling a list of different things happening on different days.. and in Confluence I used to type // and it adds current day. Was wondering if there is something similar. Thanks for an idea regarding snippets!

    Hello, I believe the lookout note command (CTRL+L) might have changed? I cannot use it to find existing notes, just to create new ones. Also, there's a bunch set of options, but I haven't found any information about it in the last release notes

    I think calling the doctor fixed my problem -> I used fix default configs and it is now working. ๐Ÿ˜•

    I have been going through the documentation because I'm wondering how to implement a feature i had in Obsidian. I want it so that every time I create a daily note, an active goals note is embedded into said daily note. I had a daily note template that linked to an active goals template if that makes sense.

    You can set up templates for notes by setting up a schema IIRC

    After a bit of playing around with the files I figured it out. I created a template and schema for daily notes, then created a current goals note which I linked at the top of the daily notes template ๐Ÿ‘

    When I add a task note reference the link and added decorations all get the same color. Is it possible to configure the decorations to be white for example.

    Question on note hierarchies: TLDR: What works best for you:
    meeting.date.project
    notes or
    project.meeting.date
    note? Recent versions introduced the option of creating meeting notes, which is a great addition. By default notes are created with the following pattern:
    meet.yy-mm-dd
    which is very sensible (I tend to add a title after the date, though, so it is more meaningful to me and easier to find). However, prior to that feature, I was creating meeting notes based on dates as childs of other note types (i.e. projects, people...) the rationale for that was to have all information regarding a project or a person nested to the parent item. Now, I'm starting to ask myself what approach works better, and I don't have a clear answer, as I can see pros and cons to both. I know there are not universal answers to the question, but I'd love to hear your opinions and what could be the best one for you.

    Are there any plans to add different types of notes/admonishments? I use quotes, notes, warnings and I wish I could differentiate them.

    Hi. Is there a way to get rid of this? I would like to have more space for the text. Besides, there is an unused space at the right of the text column.

    It's been a year or more since I initially set up snippets, so I don't remember the details. But I do know that I can currently type the prefix and it will immediately pop up with a pane of suggested expansions. I did just think of one possibility for why you're not seeing this. If you use
    @
    as the initial character of your snippet prefix (i.e.
    @td
    to automatically add today's date), Dendron might interpret the
    @
    as a user name? I've been meaning to go back and make all my snippets start with a
    ;
    for precisely this reasonโ€ฆย but so far I've just turned Dendron's user features off. ๐Ÿ˜…

    Maybe? Here's one that works for me in Dendron. I added it to my
    global-snippets.code-snippets
    file:
    Copy code
    "today's date": {
        "prefix": "@td",
        "scope": "markdown,yaml,json",
        "description": "Add today's date in YYYY-MM-DD format",
        "body": [
            "$CURRENT_YEAR-$CURRENT_MONTH-$CURRENT_DATE",
        ],
        }

    One of the things I have an issue with in Todoist is their use of @ symbol being a "label" and can't change that. By now the social media zeitgeist is here and @ means an entity, so I'm constantly context switching. There's so many other special characters to choose from - why must we overload @? (don't @ me bro)

    This is not supported right now, but we are working on adding custom themes for the preview. It should be out in a few weeks.
