This looks like a bug, would you mind sending a bug report for it?

Ok

Competition feedback (Confluence): today I learned they have a "transclusion" plugin ( https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/include-page-macro-139514.html ). However, the formatting is slightly messed up (the admonition colors are missing), and there's no indicator to the reader that the source of truth is another page (you'll only know it's imported if you try to edit the page and notice the macro). I realize I prefer transclusion that visually reveals its sources (like Dendron), but just wanted to flag that the default behavior elsewhere makes this relationship invisible . It could be worth unpacking which expectation (invisible vs visible citation) are more common as you help more people move their knowledge bases into Dendron from existing tools. If both are common enough, it could be something to make toggle-able.

this is currently a toggle on our end (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/cTZOZbI4rRnDNKHT0mviX). by default, its on but it can be toggled off. also thinking about a "light mode" to make it less intrusive (eg. only show on hover)

The "only show on hover" possibility is interesting! Since I've been staring at H5P all day—H5P is basically a way to create & embed interactive elements that are in HTML5 instead of 🪦Flash🪦—another possibility just occurred to me. Maybe there could be little buttons at the bottom of the transcluded element, like the "reuse", "rights of use", "embed" buttons at the bottom of this introduction to the Cornell Notes system? https://h5p.org/cornell-notes This would make the transclusion more obvious on mobile devices than hover would. Or maybe these buttons are always visible on mobile, and otherwise only appear on hover? Just brainstorming options—definitely feel free to ignore this, since the buttons are not too distant from the current behavior. (They're mostly just in a different place.)

first time i've come across h5p - will do some reading 🙂

@User It's CROP time (every other Wednesday). 🙂 Please vote for your favored community issue 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾: 1. [Allow

to work on normal links](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2670) 2. [Create a keyboard shortcut to close Preview](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1438) 3. [Allow mapping keybindings to custom task statuses](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/2643) 4. None of these (if there's an issue you'd like to add to rotation, please reply with a Github issue). To vote, respond with a 1️⃣ 2️⃣ 3️⃣ or 4️⃣ to this message. Voting closes Monday at noon Pacific Time.

The main audience / use for it definitely seems to be education, so I'd be surprised if you had seen it before! If you've got any questions or want to see some of the more complex things it can do, I'm happy to dig up examples. (Having a few cool examples ready would be relevant to my new job, too!)

Maybe someone saw my question about the internal API server in #735365126227493004 before (before I deleted it.. since I also realized that

api/notes/getByPath

was just recently deleted) I would love if there was a clear, dead simple (as in... the json is basically exactly what you see in your editor - just formatted as json) and stable endpoint for getting/setting note data Something like

http
GET /notes/hierarchy.deeper.some.note

which would return

json
{
  "content": "note content",
  "frontmatter": {
    "id": "...",
    "just": "the",
    "stuff": "from",
    "the": "yaml as it is"
  }
}

and an equivalent

PUT

endpoint which would also then write it back to the filesystem (and of course trigger all the respective update bookkeeping etc) (though I can see that "writing back" yaml might be tricky - and probably needs some kind of sanity check/diff to not needlessly overwrite the frontmatter just because someone used one or the other way of multiline strings / arrays)

This would open up great possibilities for external tooling interacting with a dendron workspace

If someone gave me rough pointers (doing full stack web dev as day time job) I could even see myself contributing something like that myself 😉

CROP 06-29

ah, I was wondering if anyone was using

getByPath

😅 we're doing some cleanup on our internals because we're currently working on releasing a stable version of our internal api. see [here](https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron-docs/blob/main/notes/leaflet.2022.05.18.data-model-2-0.md#L161:L161) for the design the api is currently id based so getting a note would be

GET /notes/:id

getting the note by name would be using

GET /notes/find

this will return a

NoteProps

object, the parameters are in [[Note Props|dendron://dendron.docs/pkg.common-all.ref.note-props]] the

custom

maps to

frontmatter

keys

if you'd like to help, always appreciate community contributions! our current backend API is an ad-hoc express thing > https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/blob/feat/smart-header-blocks/packages/api-server/package.json#L1:L1 we are planning on using prisma + express to create the stable public API. stretch goal is to support swagger/open-api. currently scheduling this work for late july/august (we're prioritizing the SQLite backend work currently) - let me know if you have suggestions for frameworks or want a jumping in point 🙂

I'll take a look at that

A show on hover light mode would be awesome, I'd wished it were like that before myself! Currently my preferences in order are: 1. Show on hover 2. Show 3. Hide An improvement would be if the shown pretty ref occupied less space, especially vertically. Maybe tucked into the top right corner

it hink the calendar view is broken

can you send me the output of

diagnostics report

?

calendar view is suddenly working again so can close this. thank you

immediately raises an issue requesting the new visualize command be renamed visualise 🇬🇧

lol

Hi can someone tell me how to highlight text in dendron? Does this feature already exist or is requested before? If it exist can someone point me to it please?

do you mean bold it or add highlighting to it?

adding highlighting to it

I'm getting

error while running command: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'forEach')

when running

Doctor: fixfrontmatter

command on a simple self-hosted vault with five notes. Is this a know bug?

Yeah, a fix for this will be coming out next week. Also if you see, the command should have worked irrespective of this error.

I created a feature/enhancement request for

Copy Note URL

which could extend to behavior in publishing when working in a multi-vault setup: - https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/3222 I wasn't sure whether a discussion made more sense or not, but the enhancement to

Copy Note URL

feels like it could extend to behavior in publishing when working with external links (instead of setting as private links where applicable, for example)

this should already be supported. see https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/o55qc0bc18ykz7qrhxvapbq#publishing-properties

you can add a

siteUrl

property to the vault

Ope haha bah, looks like I totally missed that!
