    congrats on publishing! as for single
    $
    delimeters, we'll add it probably beginning of 2021 since its come up a number of times. meanwhile, i would recommend either using block delimiters if you can. running a script after building the site to replace the delimeters could also work though that will change the flow of the text since you're moving from an inline element to a block element

    ®@User In unfamiliar VSCode territory. Maybe its best to describe what I want to do....I would like to add a folder of .md files that currently exist in dropbox (and need to remain in their current file structure) and use this folder as my vault without having to move these files inside the vault folder. Is this possible. IOW, I do not want to physically move the files or import them one time with an import pod into my vault, rather I would like to use them where they are. When I tried yesterday to initialize the folder as a workspace in Dendron, it created a vault folder within the folder structure where "all of Dendron's magic occurs". Sure I can see these files if I add the folder to the workspace, but seem to lose the [[autocomplete]] abilities unless I import them into the vault. Is there a way to use the existing file structure as is almost like a virtual folder and use it as a Dendron workspace without having to move files into the vault? I am probably doing something wrong or probably am too new to VS Code. I looked through the documention but could not find anything. This question is probably more of a VS Code Editor question, but thought I would ask. Many thanks in advance.

    I think I might have answered my own question. I just watched the video on multi-vault (adding a vault). This seems to have answered my question. Awesome. Dendron is rapidly maturing. Great work Kevin and Team!

    I played a lot with multi vaults the last days and while not yet everything is there it's indeed super useful. I have similar use case as you describe: I want some files to be in a cloud storage (nextcloud in my case) but still have them in a Dendron vault. What you can do is to create a new vault via
    Vault Add
    and then edit the
    dendron.yml
    file and use the full path to your folder in the fspath element. If you're on Windows you need to replace the \ by / in the path.

    @User @User still working on getting multi-vault to feature parity but most of it is already there. the idea is that you should be able to query anything in your filesystem as a vault relative to your workspace. in the future, we're going to expand on this idea and let you also query remote vaults and pods that might not be on your file system. lots of things to come 🙂

    @User @User The new multivault feature has been a real life saver. I agree, accessing notes natively in their position in the file system is a big deal. Love the previews! Only issue I am having so far w 17.1 is with refactoring notes. Seems to be hit or miss with parsing old badly titled and written scratch notes. I put most of the blame on my younger me being sloppy. But...not sure it makes me think if for now it should be a little more forgiving in its parsing from a parity perspective vs obsidian. For now anyway, I am using a 3rd party tool to rename old files.

    Hmm.. I seem to be unable to rename notes either in the latest either. I don't think it's sloppy frontmatter either since I created these files with Dendron. Filed this issue here: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/385

    @User @User are you guys trying to rename notes inside a second vault? if so, that's currently not supported 😅 (one of the feature parity items) that will be supported in this weekend's release

    I notice issues with refactoring when I add files outside Dendron and lso sometimes without any obvious explanation. However `Doctor`has always fixed it for me

    @kevin8 yes, that is exactly what is happening (renaming notes inside a second vault)

    I need to think of Doctor. I have never used it. Thanks for the suggestion.

    Though everything else about multi-vault is incredible. Cross-vault heirarchies work. LInking has been flawless. Really impressive stuff!

    this is awesome! you remind me that i need to get around to making updated instructional videos at some point 😅 will add a link to this in our getting started if that's alright 😇 some feedback on a few of the specific videos: - https://next.egghead.io/lessons/vs-code-navigate-hierarchical-notes-in-dendron - we're about to change the default for sibling navigation because this conflicts with a vscode default. the new default will be
    ctrl+shift+[
    with the option to change this back in the keyboard shortcut menu - https://next.egghead.io/lessons/vs-code-create-a-new-note-using-dendrons-look-up-tool - you can just use
    cmd+l
    to start lookup at the current location in the hierarchy

    maybe this was just my browser (i was running incognito), but everytime a video finished, i was taken to "an unexpected error has occured". snapshot attached in case it helps

    also, fyi, dendron is also using
