you can name it to be something more compact and change the frontmatter title to be the long one.

oh right active directory my bad

maybe create a "media" (`m`）hierarchy so the name of the note will simply be

m.ar.how-to-track-down-password-changes

(

ar

for article) and you can build folding templates using html that I posted on #742532267058004098 before for metadata

Thanks for the suggestion. I know Dendron can be used in many ways, but using it as a place to hold reference material something other people do?

absolutely.

Can PDF be imported? Or is there suggestions on the best way to do this?

you mean pdf to md?

or pdf links

Actually both 🙂

for pdf to md i think pandoc (maybe?) or some online tools do the trick for pdf links I think this will work

[my link](file:///C:/my_file.pdf)

I'll check that out. Thanks!

❓Do you guys know of any way I could change the font used by the published site?

yep, you can wrap css with

<style></style>

to change the font family of an individual page https://www.w3schools.com/TAGs/tag_style.asp

this will work as well I think

Have not been able to find the answer to this in any documentation, wonder if I am missing something obvious: If I have multiple local vaults, how do I switch the context of the Lookup bar, so that it uses a different vault? My initial vault was named

Code

, so every note I add will use it.

Add this line

lookupConfirmVaultOnCreate: true

to your

dendron.yml

file. Here's more about that and other multi vault stuff: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/24b176f1-685d-44e1-a1b0-1704b1a92ca0.html#lookup

Is dailynotes.dendron.vscode using moment.js for date? what's the syntax for adding day of week to the daily journal titles?

i have a question; using dendron 0.33.0 on mac os big sur 11.2.3 w/ current vscode 1.54.3. i was following your tutorial guide on creating my first note in my workspace and i'm stuck at the step of previewing my site. the same occurs whether i try my own or the pages that came with dendron by default. the first time it asked for dependencies and those were all done. vscode now tells me preview is ready but in my default browser, i see at url http://localhost:8080/: Cannot GET / any ideas? Thanks.

the first time you set this up, you might need to run

>Developer: Reload Window

for the preview to work

that was it @User ! cheers to you! thanks.

@kevins8 has a canonical post that touches on references: https://www.kevinslin.com/notes/3dd58f62-fee5-4f93-b9f1-b0f0f59a9b64.html. Personally I'd probably make it I to a hierarchy such as

ref.ad.

to collect all reference material on active directory and then children such as

security

,

gpo

,

design

and so on. But thanks to the refactoring capabilities you can change that any time so just start small with as few levels as possible and split it once you have enough details a.k.a amoeba pattern see https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/e780000d-c784-4945-8e42-35218a3ecf10.html

How do you specify an external link, e.g. [Text for link](https://www.dendron.so/), to open in a new tab when viewing the note in a browser?

cmd/ctrl click

Is it possible to change the order of a piped wiki link? Instead of `[[Display Name|actual.file.name.md]]`I want

[[actual.file.name.md|Display name]]

because most of the notes I'm bringing into dendron already use that syntax and it would keep some level of compatibility with obsidian

Just in case some people are looking for a quick and dirty solution in the mean time. You can use regex to switch the display name | file name. (it is best to commit your changes to git before doing this.)

Search pattern
\[\[([^|]+)\|([^|]+)\]\]

Replace pattern
[[$2|$1]]

It looks like this in VsCode

CTRL + SHIFT + F to search and replace all files in your workspace

So while playing around trying to learn/use Dendron I created a number of vaults. These weren't intend to be members of a Multi-vault, (in fact, I think that was a "future feature" at that time)... . Now when I open one of these vault's workspaces I have an error saying something about non-unique vault name, (seems to be gone now in 0.3.4), so it was, (apparently), remembering all the other vaults, i.e. the folders named "vault", and considering them pieces of some unspecified Multi-vault. Regardless not getting this error at the moment, what was it talking about? What is "the name" of a vault? I kept the purpose of a vault in a higher level, containing folder, e.g.

[in]: C:/vault_md/
 build/                     
 docs/                      
 node_modules/              
 vault/                     
 dendron.code-workspace      
 dendron.yml                 
 npm-debug.log               
 package-lock.json           
 package.json

what are the conventions? The above was for a vault where I was transforming some Markdown guides into dendron
