    with folders, you might have the following with nothing inside any of the folders besides `data`:
    lang/python/data/dict.md

    (in this example, i'm not counting folders as a file) 😅

    i agree with you that semantically, the same effect can be done with either files or folders

    yeah, that comes down to a style issue

    i do agree that folders would make dendron work better with existing tools

    as an option perhaps

    maybe ~1-2 days of work (if you knew the codebase 😅 )

    I ask as I would love to just plug my wiki into dendron

    and make it work by just adding the hierrachy thingy

    Im mostly interested in the hirarchy power features that dendron can bring

    got it. we currently do have an import functionality that you can use to get a feel for it: https://www.dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html#localfile-pod

    In foam it was/is problematic to have foo.md in different folders

    > @User one thing to highlight for doc changes; if one uses github editing only, it's impossible to see if the links are created right(?). Other than that, I think it's pretty smooth. @User pr looks great. just merged! as far as seeing links on github, you're right. i don't think that's a deal breaker and that's what the review is for

    > Iirc, markdown notes didnt support explicit links to subfolders? @User didn't think about markdown-notes. yeah, there's also issues with downstream dependencies with subfolders. to summarize - folders are theoretically possible but non-trivial to implement at the moment

    I tried creating a
    root.tags.stub
    note that has this:
    Copy code
    markdown
    ---
    id: 6831ddb0-2a92-48ac-b28c-8e6f56373096
    title: Stub
    desc: ''
    updated: 1599337882302
    created: 1599337882302
    ---
    
    # #Stub

    when I execute the copy link command, I get this:
    [[Stub|root.tags.stub]]

    09/05/2020, 8:32 PM
    I'm expecting to get this instead:
    [[#Stub|root.tags.stub]]

    I tried to change the
    title
    property in the frontmatter to
    title: #Stub
    , and it doesn't solve the issue
