ok what do you mesn by naked wiki link?

instead of [[foo|foo]], just using [[foo]] (no pipe character)

ahhh ok thx

Is there anyway to make the links clickable in the editor rather then using the preview?

by using the "go to definition" shortcut while hovering over the link or "ctrl + click"

yup i figured that out

thx

Anyway of turning the brackets off?

what do you mean by that?

well when using the editor and i insert a link with [blah] Is there a way to turn off the [] ?

After i am done making the link I mean. I am using the root.md file as my index. I want to use the editor to navigate my files instead of the preview. Having the [[]] off would make my index page nicer

because dendron is completely plain text based, there's no way to "turn off" the "[[]]" since it is the only thing telling dendron that it is a link. to have a "nice view" of your docs, it's either the preview or publishing it as a local jekyll page (but in both cases, you are not able to edit inside the preview). we do want to explore having a nicer editor frontend using vscode's editor api. feel free to submit an issue if that's something you feel strongly about 🙂 https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new/choose

@runlevelrobot i made an extension for the markdown preview for this (if im understanding you correctly): https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=thomaskoppelaar.markdown-wiki-links-preview

ah nvm, you want the editor to hide the brackets

Thanks for all your work on this!

@User actually, if you're down, would love someone from the foam community to try out dendron. the core plugin should be compatible with foam and you can just ignore the extension recommendations. you'll get access to cool features like the ability to rename your notes (https://www.dendron.so/notes/eea2b078-1acc-4071-a14e-18299fc28f47.html#rename-note) 😉

I'll consider it - I don't know if I'll get the most value out of it, but I'm willing to give it a shot

Does dendron support piped wikilinks?

yep (though that's through the markdown-notes extension)

i.e: [[filename| Some description]]

the core plugin will rename piped wiki links when you're renaming files

(by renaming files i mean using

Dendron: Rename Note

command)

ex: i have a file named

todo.md

and i link to it using

[[todo| I have things to do]]

. If i renamed

todo.md

to

done.md

, what will the new link look like?

(using the command)

i just realized my usage of wiki links is differs from convention. i use [[description|filename]]

in your example, if you had [[things to do|todo]] and use the command, it would turn it into [[things to do|done]]

alright, cool!

it preserves the description, that's what matters most i suppose
