are defined in addition to Lookup - safe to delete? I don't recall using it before

yep

thanks

is it possible to quickly go back to the previous note that was being edited (or the calling note if you will)

1.

ctrl-tab

2. going to previous tab 3. using the open editors pane (usually in the explorer, i like having it in the bottom pane)

thanks!

there seems to be many variants of markdown - what would be the best cheatsheet for the markdown that dendron uses? I am particularly interested with lists with multiple levels of indentation

https://www.dendron.so/notes/ba97866b-889f-4ac6-86e7-bb2d97f6e376.html#what-is-markdown 🙂

To give some structure I have named my notes files as teaching.md, teaching.courses.md, teaching.courses.3132.md etc, but now how do I add [[links]] to those notes? Do I have to do [[teaching.courses.3132]] or can I include shorter text inside the [[]] ?

you can create an link alias using

|

symbol

eg.

[[teaching.courses.3132|3132]]

->

3132

do these aliases get stored globally?

no, just when you go to the link

we do have an issue for global aliases: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/92

if that's something you need, feel free to +1 the ticket and that will help us prioritize it 🙂

Thanks for answering all my questions - maybe others will find them useful! What about export? What I would like to be able to do is select a subset of notes, ordered in a way I choose and export so that pandoc can convert them in the way I want. Possible now? In the near future?

- For single document export, you can see this: https://shd101wyy.github.io/markdown-preview-enhanced/#/pandoc-pdf - For multi-document, if you're comfortable with the command line, you could use the

pandoc

cli on select notes - Alternatively, you can publish a subset of hierarchies as a github page using dendron's publishing feature: http://localhost:4003/notes/73d395c9-5041-4d0d-9db7-080d9586136e.html

if you want to arrange notes a certain way before converting via pandoc, you could create a note that consists of references to other notes and export the whole thing using pandoc: http://localhost:4003/notes/f1af56bb-db27-47ae-8406-61a98de6c78c.html

very nice stuff!

And my final question for today - is there something I need to do to get autocomplete to work? I have files teaching.courses and teaching.courses.3132 - when I start to type [[teach I expect to get a popup with a list of completions? But nothing happens. Must be a setting not set correctly?

suggestions are triggered using the

trigger suggest

shortcut

they keybinding is os dependent. i updated mine

btw: those links you provided above are not complete - they are pointing to localhost

opps, i have the local version of the docs open

😅

replace localhost:4003 with dendron.so

I lied - always more questions it seems!!! Is it possible to display the backlinks on the markdown preview itself?

haha, all good

and no, not at the moment though if that's important, feel free to submit a feature request :) https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new/choose
