> Noob here...how do you import .md files into dendron. I can open my files but I want to import and begin using them within my workspace. Thanks in Advance

you can copy them inside your

vault

folder using either the file explorer or the command line

if you have markdown files in nested directories and want to convert them into dendorn hierarchies, you can use the

LocalFilePod

to import https://www.dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html#localfile-pod

> Thanks Kevin. Last question (for now): I have a file structure for my .md files in Dropbox. Is there a way to link them (like an alias) and use them within the Dendron vault but yet RETAIN the current location outside the vault in Dropbox? (Much like an alias or symbolic link) Thanks in advance

are your files all flat inside a folder? if so, you can set the path of you dendron vault to your dropbox folder. if not and your files are inside file trees,

LocalFilePod

would copy them over but not symlink them.

yes, all the files are flat.....I used Change Workspace and entered the Path and it worked perfectly! Thanks. This topic should be in the simplified in Welcome or Getting Starting for noobs. I searched under the Command section in Dendron to find. Useful but searching is VSC was not. IMO, being able to do this right up front and picking up where you left off w your .md files in Dendron I think is a big deal. Just a thought.

So the current summary is that if I keep the single dollar signs as the delimiter then anytime there are two dollar signs on a line everything in between is treated as math. Changing the $ to % (say) seems to fix that but then the \ causes a line break. I think I have tried most possible combinations but no dice.

Just a thought. @User think its a great thought. will update the home page before this week is done. might ping you for feedback during the process 😉

line break as well. not sure whats causing it atm :/

@kevins8 there is comfort in company!!

well, i can offer that 🙂

Hi! I'm late to the party I guess. I've a bunch of files setup using foam. Can I migrate them to Dendron? Would there be any disruptions I should expect?

hi @User - you should be able to drop them into dendron just fine. Few things to note though: foam adds "link reference definitions" to the bottom of each file, you might want to remove them since they are not needed in dendron. Also to be able to benefit from dendron hierarchies, you might want to go through each note and think how you want to place them into the hierarchy. This is not mandatory, but at least I've found it helpful.

> well, i can offer that 🙂 @User any suggestions to get this up and running would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, dendron becomes much less useful if I can't write some mathematics.

Noob.QQ.How do I change the date format for a workspace?.thanks

@User is this what you are looking for? https://www.dendron.so/notes/5c213aa6-e4ba-49e8-85c5-1bdcb33ce202.html#defaultnodetypedateformat

Anyone know of a good Web Clipper (for Chrome) that can generate .md files instead of using an external service ?

@User Many Thanks Buxel for the link you sent. 1. Is this link referral to the schema? 2.I also noticed this reference under Todo's, but I do not know which note/where it is referring to in order to place the code and change the setting. Many thanks

Check the workspace settings

(you can also open them as json)

many thanks! Learning my way around the UI. 3rd day. Dendron is awesome. Each day the simple things are getting easier. 🙂

You're welcome 🙂

@User Hi Kevin, I am getting an error when trying to refactor some notes. Here it is.. the notes are located in a different workspace path. Everything seem to be working fine except for this error. It will find and preview the notes fine except it will not rename them? Thoughts? I followed the instructions in the your Refector Notes video. Thanks in advance

> @User any suggestions to get this up and running would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately, dendron becomes much less useful if I can't write some mathematics.

@User I will also add that I think I recall that this worked when I first installed dendron, version 0.9.0 (maybe not the I want $100 instead of $200) but the $\sin(x)$ worked. Something has changed. And I tested the current version in a new user account this morning and had exactly the same behaviour.

> Hi! I'm late to the party I guess. I've a bunch of files setup using foam. Can I migrate them to Dendron? Would there be any disruptions I should expect? @User add on what @User said, dendron should just work with a foam repo. i would recommend watching these videos to get a feel for workflows you can do in dendron: https://www.dendron.so/notes/34ee4bcf-60e9-4031-a4c0-26113b5acb80.html

Thanks in advance @User hmm, refactor might not play nicely on files with spaces in the name. can you send the file name of the file you were trying to refactor? or better yet, run refactor again and send me the output of
