    @User Thanks

    hi, is there any way to type [[ and a list of links, file names and references show up? like in Obsidian, RemNote, Roam, etc. I find it is a hassle to link ideas in Dendron
  • i
    Yes it is
  • r
    I tried the vscode intellisense shortcut as suggested here https://www.dendron.so/notes/3472226a-ff3c-432d-bf5d-10926f39f6c2.html#wiki-links but it is not good enough, doesn't even list existing links

    Guys i'm a noob. I'm trying to paste a clipped image into Dendron but I'm not having success. Help plz
  • k
  • k
    dendron has a paste image command for exactly that purpose
  • g
    I tried that. It shows
  • g
    Maybe my assets folder is corrupted?
  • k
    are you using the preview that dendron provides (instead of the vscode builtin one)?
  • g
    Yes. The Dendron Markdown Preview
  • k
    > Dendron: Show Preview
  • k
    hmm, you can check your assets folder by navigating to the file
  • k
    its located inside your vault. {vault}/assets/images/
  • k
    your vault structure seems to be a bit odd. normally, its 
    Dendron/vault/assets/images
  • k
    if you run 
    > Open Workspace Settings (JSON)
    , can you share the output?
  • g
    Copy code

    @User It's because I was going to use LateX and Dendron at the same time so I created a Dendron folder inside Dendron (lol). But now I separated them by workspaces with different themes.
  • t
    Hi, is there a way to automatically (i.e. from a CLI) publish (a subset of) my vault as a Jekyll site?
  • k
    @User got it. where are your notes located? are there in 
    Dendron/vault
    ? dendron will look for images directly under 
    vault/assets/images
    . if there are additional levels (eg. UFSC/Transcal2), Dendron wouldn't be able to find them
  • k
    @User yep. dendron-cli is what you're looking for :) https://dendron.so/notes/8b03ed06-4f46-46e0-8652-c6abf2266a79.html#buildsite

    > Hi, is there a way to automatically (i.e. from a CLI) publish (a subset of) my vault as a Jekyll site? I feel like since the vault is already a set of markdown files with YAML headers, it should play along with plain Jekyll quite nicely, but there's still the question of resolving note references and such
  • t
    oh great @User, thanks!
  • k
  • t
    awesome, will check out
  • g
    @User I think I'm gonna set it up using your idea of hierarchy through "UFSC.Transcal2." instead of folders
  • g
    And see them by the Dendron Tree View?
  • k
  • t
    Also (since I'm already asking questions 😄 ) I've got two itches that I haven't yet quite found a way to scratch in Dendron: 1. When I'm taking notes from lectures and such, I often just want to mark a certain term so that I can find all the backlinks later - in Roam, you just make a 
    [[wikilink]]
    , but if I do this in Dendron, it places a note right at the root of the hierarchy, which clutters it up (just as it does in Roam, to be fair). However, putting 
    [[notes.psychology.people.freud]]'s idea of the [[notes.psychology.concepts.unconscious]]
    is way too unwieldy in the middle of note-taking and is hard to read afterwards. I settled for making a "`q`" sub-domain (just because it's a relatively uncommon letter in a good spot on the keyboard) and I stash these sorts of references in it, so instead of say, putting 
    [[Freud]]'s idea of the [[unconscious]]
    , I've got 
    [[q.Freud]]'s idea of the [[q.unconscious]]
    , but it's not ideal either. Is there a workflow I'm missing? 2. A significant portion of my "notes" are actually just briefly annotated web links. Stashing them in a couple markdown notes in the hierarchy and just putting the annotations below the links gets me 80% of the way, but they're still just bare URLs (i.e. no titles or previews), so I was wondering if there was maybe a Markdown preview extension(-extension?) that also does the OpenGraph queries and other kinds of preview magic - or if there was a better way to handle this sort of data in Dendron? Thanks in advance!
