dendron has the insert note command (https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47.html#insert-note) which lets you insert the contents of a note. its an alternative to snippets. its easier to use since your working with plaintext instead of json

Gotcha, so it's probably better for less json inclined & maybe more complex/larger inserts than a snippet, which is maybe best as a markdown code shortcut/formatting shortcut. And then a template is going to be best as attached to a schema for notes where you're expecting some similar structure. Is that a fair & functional breakdown of the functions?

You can always run manjaro, ArcoLinux or other arch distros which come ready! In my work machine I use manjaro for that reason

I just realized that the mouse over preview pane only works with wikilinks in the same vault. Links to other vaults still work using keyboard commands, but they don't do that nifty preview thing. Is this the expected behavior? These use the [[domain.note.etc]] format, and I'm using Dendron 0.41.0 on a Mac, if any of that matters.

yeah running arch linux myself but other arch-based distros are great too

Yes! I have the same in my personal machine, because there I can play around and break things with confident. For work I just wantes arch bundled with everything it needs to work out of the box

I always choose the most minimal iso though

Using arch + bspwm now, works great

I've never tried bsp, I'm now using Qtile and it's pretty good as well

Does anyone have a suggestion for refactoring a large number of notes that have no underlying structure to them? I.e. they all sit in the main vault and could be named 2021-03-22-meeting, project- sell-my-dog etc. These aren't the only files in the vault but I know which ones I want to refactor.

A minor question on VS Code UI. How do I remove these icons from view?

currently, vscode doesn't give you a way of hiding the builtin icons. you'll need to use a custom css extension to do that: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/47266613/vscode-hide-top-right-icons

unfortunately, there's a one size fits all solution here. it might be going over your notes one by one and figuring out what fits. if your notes aren't linked together, the rename command works well: https://linuxize.com/post/rename-command-in-linux/

sorry if this has been answered before, but does dendron support mermaid.js right now, intend to later on, or should i look for a vscode plugin if i want that functionality?

Gotcha’. Thanks.

Mermaid is already supported. If you want to publish with it, you just need to tell that to your configuration file: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97f6e376.html#diagrams

awesome, thank you

Thanks, that's what I suspected.

I'm switching from Atom to VSCodium for code development, and use markdown files a lot for documentation so installed the "Markdown Preview Enhanced" extension. That's how I discovered Dendron, since there is also a "Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced" extension. But following the Dendron Getting Started steps, things weren't acting quite right, and I also discovered that previewing markdown files in non-Dendron workspaces stopped working after installing Dendron. I've fixed the issues for now by disabling the Dendron markdown preview globally, then in Dendron workspaces I disable the non-Dendron markdown preview and enable the Dendron one. But that seems a bit clunky; is there a better way?

yeah the current dendron preview does not work well with "Markdown Preview Enhanced" even though it is a fork from it. There currently are plans to unify the Preview with the site preview https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/643 so that "Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced" is no longer needed.

I'm very much looking forward to this. I regularly get an error message that the extension took a very long time to load.

yeah, you and me both 😅 we'll be integrating our initial native webview components next week for dendron side panel. after that's stable, we'll be doing the unified preview

Does “unified preview” suggest a possibility for a WYSIWG view?

Later perhaps I'm personally looking into vscodes custom editors that could unify the current editor with the preview into one and after that it's possible to think about a WYSIWG editor. But that are future dreams for now at least

Good to hear it’s a possibility. I’m unsure what the advantages are of two separate panes rendering the information in two different ways. In the interim, or as an alternative, I’d be alright with a way to display images in-line (and embeds, which I haven’t checked yet). I’m also wondering whether Dendron can offer ‘unlinked references’ (text that mentions the title but doesn’t specify a link), and ‘outgoing links’ (a tab for all links in your current note, separated into wiki- and hyper-).

I have been pondering over the ability to publish encrypted dendron notes and use decryption via password on frontend to view private notes. Has someone setup something similar? Also how cross compatible would the jekyll files be?

wanted to check if you had a chance to push again for managed publishing?

Would adding authentication to your site accomplish the same goal if you're published site with all your notes was behind a login?

Yep, the problem rn is I don't want to host a backend to achieve that authentication. It would be ideal if the notes were encrypted and then published statically and frontend could use the password to decrypt them. I haven't found a solution yet so might be looking at hacking something together with nextjs.

I'm trying to showcase a simple prototype of using what I call "fragments": portions of text that I'd like to be able to outline and associate with a given tag. In that context, I'm looking to achieve two simple things: - utilize the markdown editor's strikethrough command to highlight a portion of text and change its rendering to something less disrupting than the conventional rendering. I am able to do this in the preview (add some custom css rules to

~/.mume/style.less

), but I have no clue how to do this in the editor itself. - I love the fact that tags are hierarchical, but did not see the usual autocompletion behavior that I get with actual notes. Did I miss something?
