Is there a way to embed and display in Preview and in publishing PDF files stored in

/assets

or

/assets/pdf

using relative links? What would be the syntax?

You can link to them with

[text](/assets/file.pdf)

I think, but you can't embed them yet. We have plans coming up soon to add this and more: https://docs.dendron.so/notes/WCZ1LzhM07Om3KFPERk6l/

You also might be able to do something by embedding HTML into your note, but I don't have an example

Thanks. Yes, this is what I was trying, also

embed

and

iframe

but with no luck. Is an embedded PDF via

iframe

from the web possible? Does not render for me. It would be great to be able to embed various image formats and pdfs from local storage (apdf, gif, jpeg, pdf).........

Found this: https://blog.devgenius.io/how-to-display-a-pdf-using-an-iframe-and-make-it-responsive-d3c3fcd3a460 Edit: nevermind, I don't think that helps. I'll take a look when I have the time to see if it's possible

Made an issue. If this is already possible, it would be great to see how in the docs. https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1984

Folks, I am trying to sync dendron across office and home devices. I have pushed the repository containing the vault to github. I have cloned the repository in new machine. Should I initialize dendron workspace?

or should i just add this folder as a dendron workspace

Thanks

To rename a vault to I just rename the folder on my local system? And if I want to move a load of notes from one vault to the other, just cut and paste as I can't see a bulk move command?

If your repo just contains the vault you would initialize a new workspace and add the vault as a remote vault

Thanks, Bassman. I must be doing something wrong as I am getting this error message : rror: spawn git ENOENT at Process.ChildProcess._handle.onexit

Could you make sure you have git installed on that machine?

If you rename the folder, you'll also need to update your

dendron.yml

file. You can also give the vault a name without renaming the folder:

vaults:
  - fsPath: folder
    name: "vault name"

Yes. Git is installed in both the machines.

With the following VSCODE settings, doesn't Dendron already have the 'Outlining' feature by default?

"editor.showFoldingControls": "always"
"editor.guides.indentation": true
"breadcrumbs.enabled": true

it does. its just quite the same as apps like workflowy because they make it possible for a bullet to become a new page

you could argue that dendron does it do if you turn a bullet into a scratch note but its a little less ergonomic

Howdy, Just a question regarding the 'root' note in a dendron workspace. What would be the suggested use case for it? I've noted that changing it's name is not a great idea and thus I should leave that as is. However should I also leave the boilerplate that is already there? Or should I populate it with the 'root' information regarding the workspace? I.e. If I were creating a workspace regarding a maths subject at university, would I put the basic information regarding the subject or would I create another node called Introduction to or something to that effect and begin my tree there? I assume it's up to me in the end but just looking for what people think is best practice. Thanks!

I use it as the table of contents or list of quick links. It's your landing page if you publish to web.

root node best practice

hello guys, new to dendron. Noticed when i frist intialize a workspace, it opens the workspace within the vault, but when i restart my computer and want to go back, i need to open code from root directory, otherwise it fails to initialize dendron

I hope I'm not misunderstanding you, but you ideally want to reopen the Dendron workspace. In the recent window, this will show up as "dendron (Workspace)".

hm, so there isn't a way for me to open code through terminal in the directory to initialize dendron?

Oh, you could do

code path/to/workspace/dendron.code-workspace

. That should launch the workspace directly.

oh!

thanks a lot 🙂

Hello! I was looking through the wiki page about "Publishing Your Site," but I cannot find the command "Dendron: Site Build" (as directed in this screenshot) while I'm in a dendron workspace. All the steps before are performed alright. Is this normal? What should I do? 😧

I think it has been renamed to "Dendron: Publish Export". Could you try that?

is there a way to hide the children section in preview?
