I thought that might be it—but then I wouldn't expect all the other highlighting, bold, italics, etc to work. So maybe the decoration logic (of Dendron or my theme) is more accommodating than the wikilink's function logic?

That's definitely possible, Goto Note has some custom code to find links while decorations use Dendron's markdown parser which is more powerful. If the decorations show up correctly but Goto Note is broken, then I think it might be worth a bug report so we can get parity between them

Okay! Thanks for the super-fast responses, by the way! It's basically midnight here, so I'll put a bug report in tomorrow. It seems like a super low priority bug, but I'm happy to write it up if it's helpful.

Hi everyone, I'm wondering if someone could explain how to get backlink candidates to work. As I've understood it, if I have a pair of notes with the titles "Note One" and "Note Two", and if I write something like: "This text mentions Note Two" in the text for Note One, then then a backlink candidate should appear in Note Two. This doesn't happen when I try it though. Could anyone explain what I'm missing? Thanks!

You need to create a wiki link like "This text mentions [[Note1]]" it's not automatic as far as I know

did you enable the feature flag in dendron.yml already?

No I haven't, what should I write there?

Reference: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f7ebd4aa-8ba7-4bc5-bd00-a1efc5315f07/

you need this bit

yml
dev: 
  enableLinkCandidates: true

Ah, there we go. Thanks!

How cool. Obviously I missed that. Thanks for sharing

I also learned about it for the first time today, when I saw Axle's question and searched for 'link candidates' in the docs 😆 . Another testament to the power and potential of the project, and the rapid progress being made by the team and contributors. 🌱

if you have any questions about the feature, @User did the implementation 🙂

I am indeed wondering why it's not enabled by default yet, if there are any big performance trade-offs to be aware of, or things like that. Otherwise, it's a feature that speaks to a need I've been having recently, and I'll probably start to use it in my workflows

Is there anyone else seeing a lot of Code extension host crashes that seem to be caused by Dendron? There's an open issue for it but in the last week or so it tends to crash for me every couple of minutes. And that's without actively using Dendron.

But maybe there's something with my setup that makes an existing problem surface more often

Do you mean it crashes when you are not even in a Dendron workspace?

Yeah

Can you try disabling

dendron.watchForNativeWorkspace

in your extension settings? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/19a0ea9d-7292-4a68-bc6f-ffd462a54bc5/#dendronwatchfornativeworkspace

Hey folks. Have a quick question. I am trying to host a dendron vault using a custom implementation via Google Cloud storage. Any ideas what would cause the website to show up like this (i.e. without the left-pane contents)

that looks like an older version of the website. can you try upgrading to the latest version? https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/2340KhiZJWUy31Nrn37Fd.html#upgrade-dendron-nextjs-template

I was away for a few months. I just spent a few hour migrating from 11ty based publishing to next based.

Personally, old one looked nicer. (I'm assuming "looks" are just CSS and next based one can be made to look like better - but that is just an observation/suggestion)

Question : In the new version of publish, the

last modified

footer seems to be showing wrong/old date. Is this known issue ? Is there a way to fix this ? May be some configuration changed between 11ty and next ?

I have

siteLastModified: true

under

site

in my

dendron.yml

Never mind. I found the problem. I assumed that this information is taken from

git log

- but it is taken from frontmatter

updated

But why should it matter ? Cause I cheat. On my machine, VSCode/VSCodium are slow(er) than say Vi/Vim/nvim/emacs. So I do quick edits outside vscode. So

updated

frontmatter does not get modified automatically. Earlier I was forced to use VSCode at least for publishing. Now that "official" instructions are to run command from terminal, I had no reason to open VSCode.

@User Refer ☝️is there a plan to remove dependency on VSCode for the "basic" workflow ? Or how can I update the

updated

frontmatter value easily ? (I know it is epoch value, but it is not easier to get the current epoch than "open vscode, make dummy edit and let Dendron/VSCode update the

updated

value)

would you find it too cumbersome to use the ol'

date +"%s"

to generate an epoch for the current time?

if you're in vim/nvim you could do

!!date +"\%s"

to output that at the line the cursor is on (remembering to escape the % to stop it from expanding)
