I manually host my vault at wiki.dentropydaemon.io but I can't get the search working. Any tips, here is the script I use to build my site,

#!/bin/bash
rm -rf docs
cd dentropydaemon-wiki && git pull
cd ..
npx dendron buildSiteV2 --stage prod
rsync -avzhe ssh ./build/site/* test@wiki.dentropydaemon.io:/home/test/dentropycloud-traefik/static/_site

False alarm, it works now, I hope someone finds this script useful

nice. was just looking at the script 😅 was it a caching issue?

How to change the code block's syntax highlighting to use dark theme? I am already editing the

style.less

for markdown preview. I want to use a dark background for code block while preferably using the existing syntax highlighting.

With the current default syntax highlighting with dark background, some texts aren't that legible.

We use [prismjs](https://prismjs.com/) for code blocks. Changing the color theme for the preview is something we are planning on adding in the coming weeks but is currently not supported.

Got it! I will use the light background for them for now.

hi there, has anyone pasted .md files which already contain frontmatter, especially the

id

into a dendron vault and run Doctor and gets errors. there are too many variables and can't pin-point why Doctor doesn't work, but it seems likely that Dendron can't re-write a pre-existing

id

and can't accept that

id

as a valid YAML

id

. the error I get is

error running command: e.id.match is not a function

and sometimes i get

title.md could not be parsed

. i used a tool to export Google Keep notes into .md files with YAML frontmatter, the

id

do not follow a structure pattern, some are parsed fine by Dendron some are not. UPDATE: i just found

regenerate note id

in Doctor, that worked sweet!

Question about importing a markdown pod: I have already started adding '.' delimiters in preparation for a migration, but dendron seems to be converting dots '.' to dashes '-'...How can I prevent this?

(Doing an import is still preferable to just moving files, as I would appreciate having the appropriate frontmatter added for me.)

Hi - there's no option to disable that now. The markdown import pod will convert files in a folder hierarchy into the appropriate '.' notation in the filename automatically. To prevent interference with the '.' convention of Dendron, dots in filenames get converted to a dash. It will also update wikilinks within your notes. Can you try doing an import without your manually added '.' delimiters? In case you haven't seen this page: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f23a6290-2dec-45dc-b616-c218ee53db6b.html

Hmm...I think at this point a better question for my scenario might be: Is there a way to tell dendron to automatically add appropriate frontmatter to files I might just drop into the workspace?

not quite automatic but dendron has a doctor command (available via plugin and cli) that will auto-add frontmatter to all notes that don't have them https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47.html#doctor

Is anyone using GitJournal on iOS with Dendron?

Yes I do and happy to answer questions if I can

@User or anybody with experience. 🙂 Any tips on how to name the files and title the notes that describe people? Any examples in use?

I use

people.{kebabCase(first, last)}

. For example,

people.sam-adams

would be an entry. If you look at our [template seed](https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/861cbdf8-102e-4633-9933-1f3d74df53d2.html), we have an example of a people schema to get you started https://github.com/dendronhq/templates/blob/main/templates/people.schema.yml#L1:L1 https://github.com/dendronhq/templates/blob/main/templates/templates.people.md#L18:L18

Thanks. But what about alphabetical sorting, I thought by surname would make more sense if browsing later?

yeah, surname works well in that case. i often don't know the last names of people i'm interacting with which is why i do it by first name. this comes down to what works for you

Is the $3.99 version enough, or do you need to subscribe? Will it work with my local copy of git?

I also use the basic version. The only limit I see is that you can only use one repo and you cannot create tags on mobile. I'm not sure what you mean by local copy of git? I use it with a private GitHub repo but at least on Android also local files are supported so it may also work on iOS

After Dendron 0.55 While trying to

Site Preview

, I am prompted to upgrade the dependencies. But I am facing a specific error repeatedly

error running command: Command failed with exit code 4294963248: npm install --save @dendronhq/dendron-11ty@1.55.1 npm ERR! code EPERM npm ERR! syscall rmdir npm ERR! path c:\Users\parth\Desktop\Code\Notes\node_modules\.staging\get-stream-90b62ddd npm ERR! errno -4048 npm ERR!

So maybe this is a dumb question but while using dendron with a default workspace I wanted to use some "to" snippets which should map to "- [ ]" unfortunately these do not seem to be rendered in my preview pane.

Does someone know of a workaround?

Can you elaborate? is the checklist not being rendered in Preview V2?

Oh, so maybe I was a bit fast. Dendron updated on my VS Code. It seems that this made my markdown preview plugin crash. The "markdown preview enhanced" plugin did not open. In its place VSCode opened the default VSCode Preview thingy, which did not render the todos correctly. I have just reinstalled my markdown preview enhanced plugin and it seems to work again. ATM I have got three preview icons in my top bar.

those are all different previews provided by vscode itself and contributed by extensions (one of them being dendron's markdown preview enhanced). vscode unfortunately doesn't provide an official way to hide those icons. Here's the issue that's tracking it: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/issues/46403 Looks like folks have found a hack to customize the CSS and hide them though. Do you also have the upstream version of MPE installed?

btw, we have recently dropped

Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced

and Preview V2 is now included in the plugin itself. You can safely remove

Dendron Markdown Preview Enhanced

and use the command

Dendron: Show Preview V2

instead now.

I want to install git on my home server and use that instead of github.

There is an option to use a custom git setup so I suppose the answer is yes but if you want to be sure ask on the gitjournal discord @vHanda is here as well but not sure how regularly

Does the frontmatter toggles/hides itself automatically when you open a .md file? I disabled all extensions and found out it's Dendron that causes this. I can't find out why. Basically each time I click on a .md file the frontmatter hides itself and I have to toggle it back open. Any ideas how I can keep it from toggling/hiding?
