    How does one link a pdf file in Dendron? I tried putting the file in the assets directory and adding
    [Document](assets/document.pdf)
    in the Markdown, but clicking the link in the preview doesn't do anything.

    Ok, I found a solution to putting Markdown Tables into an Outlook Email. It's a kludge. In Outlook you need add the Attach File button to the new email ribbon. Then you need to go into Dendron and do a Markdown preview of the page you want to insert into an email. Save that preview as HTML. Go back into Outlook and click on the new Attach file button you created. Browse to the HTML file. Click on the arrow next to insert and change it to Insert as text. Click on the button. It will then import the HTML into the body of the email.

    It's a horrible kludge, but it's the only way I can get it to work.

    You can also load the html file into Excel and cut and paste it.

    in Dendron 0.68, does the Katex work normally? My encounter: - I type
    $$I^2R$$
    - the
    Show Preview
    looks fine - but the published site display
    I^2RI2R

    Does Dendron have an option to export/render to PDF? Exporting the preview to HTML and converting that to PDF is very clunky and tedious. Often I (and other people) need to print things out, and PDF tends to be much better behaved for that

    at the moment, I need to answer these 4 questions at separated stages, whenever I run the command
    Dendron: Publish Export
    - default behavior or config? - skip build process? - select export target? Github/ - docs folder already exists. Remove and continue? Is there anyway to config to set the default options for all of these 4 questions or at least choose the answer at the beginning instead of during running phase?

    With
    Ctrl + Shift + ]
    and
    Ctrl + Shift + [
    taken by Dendron, what shortcuts are you using to fold/unfold sections in markdown?

    Thanks, fiddled around with a pandoc extension which I think is ultimately more suitable for my needs

    Does Dendron have any functionality to export graph view to an image, such as vector pdf format?

    For me, on Mac, it's
    Option + Command + [
    or
    Option + Command + ]
    .

    This would extremely useful, and another huge step towards "treating markdown as an outlining format" and supporting those of us who come from org-mode. One of the biggest pain points when moving from an outliner like org-mode to markdown, in general, is the loss of each heading as its own "object". Specifically being able to move them around within a file, indent/outdent to fit them within each other, and referring to them from places like the lookup.

    I agree but then headings in notes are quite often identical. Many of my notes have templated headings: key issues, definition, references, etc. If they appear prefixed in search results, it can still be useful... However, I think it would also be good to be able to search for both file titles and full text from the same place, expanding and contracting as needed

    As long as enough "marginalia" is shown for each result duplicates generally haven't been a problem for me. I.e. showing the file/hierarchy/parent headings for each result.

    Are you using the old preview or the new one?

    Is it possible to make children optional? Like if I want to have a meeting schema that supported
    meeting.subject.202x.xx.xx
    and
    meeting.subject
    is that doable or do I need multiple meeting schemas?

    looks like you are using the old preview? Try to run Dendron: Show Preview, it should work.

    I think it's possible all in a single schema. Do you want to have different templates applied when you create these, or do you just want Dendron to understand that they're all in the same schema?

    All same schema and template. Will post my schema when I get done with lunch if you want

    Oh! And would you want the actual word
    subject
    to be in the path, with any word/phrase possible at the level below it? Or is that the level where you'd want a wildcard?

    This feels like a super basic question: but is there a way to make items generated from a schema, say Daily, create their md files inside of a folder instead of just at vault root?
  • u

    user

    11/10/2021, 6:49 PM
    subject would be a wildcard

    so meeting..202x.xx.xx and meeting. basically. This is my current schema:
    Copy code
    version: 1
    imports: []
    schemas:
      - id: meeting
        title: meeting
        parent: root
        namespace: true
        children:
          - pattern: "[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
            children:
              - pattern: "[0-1][0-9]"
                children:
                  - pattern: "[0-3][0-9]"
                    template:
                      id: templates.meeting
                      type: note

    Uh-oh, we currently do not support this function. Can you submit a feature request so we can track it in our roadmap? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

    Okay, I haven't tried it yet, but I think this is at least on the right track. I think you just need to make another child and point it to the same template. This isn't complete, just enough to show where I'd try putting the subject level child:
    Copy code
    parent: root
    namespace: true
    children:
        - subject-level
        - daily-notes
    - id: subject-level
    pattern: "*"
    template: templates.meeting
    type: note
    - id: daily-notes
    - pattern: "[0-2][0-9][0-9][0-9]"
            children:
              - pattern: "[0-1][0-9]"

    You also might not need to add those two lines with
    daily-notes
    in them. I put that in there to help show where I'd put the
    subject-level
    stuff.
