There's currently an issue with replacing variables in templates—I ran into it with

{{fm.title}}

a couple releases back, too. I'm not technical enough to be certain it's the same issue, but that syntax looks very similar. There's at least one GutHub issue already, so the devs are working out how to handle multiple different kinds of variable substitution.

Ah, super, thank you!

just to add on @User 's instructions, you may also find the reference here on dendron wiki: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/401c5889-20ae-4b3a-8468-269def4b4865/#renaming-a-vault

Gotcha, missed that one

Are references broken currently?

They shouldn't be, could you give an example of what's not working?

I had some notes which referenced other notes such that the preview would show the content part or whole note of the reference source - but now I just see wiki-links with a ! in front.

Intestingly it is only the MDP: Enhanced that has the issue - normal MD Preview renders the reference correctly.

Hey, I'm trying out publishing for the first time using the template project with github actions (https://github.com/dendronhq/template.publish.github-action). I've added some notes to the template project, but one in particular appears as private and it's not clear to me why... here is the page https://kamholtz.github.io/notes/#another-header where you can see that

Another Note (Private)

is private. The note that appears as private is here https://github.com/Kamholtz/notes/blob/main/vault/root.another-note.md Any thoughts?

the link

Another Note (Private)

seems to be pointing to an id that is not the same as the id of

root.another-note.md

This may be unrelated to why this is happening, but any top level hierarchy would be a child of

root

, even when they are not prepended by

root

.

root

is a special note and may have cause unexpected issued when it has explicit children.

Removing

another-node.md

from the

root

hierarchy did the trick!

Thank you @User

publishing to GitLab pages <-- anyone tried this with any success?

or any thoughts around how one password protects ones published Dendron pages on GitHub pages?

We have a template that works out of the box for publishing on Github Pages, but not Gitlab afaik. @User Do we have any plans for a tutorial / blog post / template for Gitlab publishing?

Github pages unfortunately doesn't have a native way to add access control. It would either be a public repo and a public page, or if you are on an Enterprise plan, a private repo with an access controlled page. I'm assuming you want to try Gitlab pages because of this reason?

When I create a new clean workspace. I have this root Note. Now I can create a new note like

root.newNote

or `newNote`(and create a new root?) Is there something I have to think of if I choose the latter way? Is there an intended way?

The latter is the intended way. You shouldn't have anything directly under root like

root.thing

. All notes are automatically the children of root, you don't have to type it yourself.

This has come up a lot recently and I think we could provide some warning against doing this. I know I wasn't aware of this a couple of months into using Dendron a year back 😄 I'll add a task to implement a warning on this either when creating a new note through lookup, or through a language feature.

yes, that's right 🙂

Anyway to keep aliases ? For example if I have a backlink for the word [[medicine]] I could have an alias as 'meds' and they both point to the same thing if clicked

You could have a note named

meds

that contains

![[medicine]]

. I think that 's the closest you can get right now

Or maybe a snippet called

meds

that when executed types

[[medicine]]

. Mainly time saver, not sure if this is what you're after.

How can I scroll the preview automatically as I go through the text? I saw @kevins8 , I believe, scrolling both panels simultaneously, during a demo.

Our current note preview doesn't support scroll sync. It was possible in our legacy preview, but this feature has not been ported over to our current preview. The demo you are seeing was done with the legacy preview. This was a separate extension that you would install along with Dendron, but we have migrated that to work natively without another extension. We do have plans to reimplement this behavior and are experimenting with different ways to do this.

Here is an open issue related to this, if you are interested: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1978

Is there a hotkey to toggle between editor and note preview? Trying to stay away from the mouse.

There's the "View: Navigate Between Editor Groups" command. I have it bound to "Ctrl+X O" to follow Emacs.

Also "View: Show All Editors By Appearance"
