    I have a GH workflow building my site on GitHub Actions and publishing to Netlfiy, happy to share if that sounds like a workflow you'd be interested in?

    Please share. Im curious to learn, although i won’t use it now. I can’t wrap my mind why should I stay with Netlify if GH actions lead to the similar results 😅

    I haven't used this particular journalling scheme, but I use something similar in my own notes (a modified version of the complice system: ). Dendron can be very powerful for this kind of journaling because you can interrelate different time periods using hierarchical addresses (e.g., days build into weeks, weeks build into months and years). You can use reference links so that information about your high level goals propagates into your daily journal entries, and so that information from your daily journaling can be integrated into your reflection over longer time periods. With schemas and templating, you can set something like that up once and have it fully automated from there on out, without losing any flexibility. For what you're trying to do, I'd recommend writing about your yearly theme on a note corresponding with the calendar year in your journal hierarchy (e.g.
    daily.journal.2022
    ) with a block section containing a summary of your theme. Then you can follow along with this guide on implementing a daily journal template: and decide on a format for your daily notes. At the top of the template, you might add a block reference to the summary on your themes page. At this point, if you check your journal page each day, you'll see your yearly theme each day, and you can use that to contextualize your planning/reflection for that day (my system is something like this, but I use a small set of high-level goals instead of themes). You'll have a simple, viable setup for periodic reflective journaling which you can continue to evolve and refine in ways that are essentially limited only by your creativity. Good luck with this!

    What does a
    block reference
    refer to? - A link to a file within Dendron? - A link to a specific markdown heading? - Something else?

    see: In many of my notes, I'll have a
    ^summary
    block somewhere, which I can refer to with
    ![[note.example#^summary]]
    .

    Is there a way to publish an updated image of the note graph into your notes?

    How are you all handling page numbers in PDF output? - I have a legal need to have page numbers on all documents - Right now, I'm doing something ugly: - After created a PDF using
    Right Click / Chrome (puppeteer) / PDF
    on the Preview, determine where pagenumbers should be - Then adding
    <p align='center'>pg. 1 / 3</p>
    , etc manually (ew!)

    I would strongly recommend using something like pandoc for this: It can handle page numbering for you.

    01/26/2022, 6:24 PM
    Ok. The pandoc installation docs say
    By default, Pandoc creates PDFs using LaTeX. We recommend installing it via MiKTeX
    so thats cool as I just installed MiKTeX yesterday for another project.. I'll try it
  • s

    I did notice that MiKTeX seems to have "messed up" Markdown Preview in Dendron. - It appears that "$" is a (LaTeX?) special character and causes problems if there are more than 1 "$"'s in a Markdown paragraph - (I know right?, whatever 🙂 )

    Sorry its a pita to redact work to show the bug but...

    We'll see if pandoc affects this
  • s

    seadude

    01/26/2022, 7:06 PM
    Egh! What am I missing? - Pandoc is installed - Pandoc is in my PATH variable - NEW terminal (opened up as administrator, after a fresh restart) shows no-go

    01/26/2022, 7:07 PM
    Even tried adding
    pandoc.exe
    to the PATH, same result
  • s

    01/26/2022, 7:09 PM
    AHA! Had to uninstall pandoc, then when installing, had to check
    Install for all users on this machine
    . Now we're cooking

    evening, May be a stupid q, but is it possible to have multiple dendron workspaces within the same folder? Looking for the best way to structure my vaults, I would like to have all my vault folders in the same directory and dependent on which workspace I open to have certain vaults visible

    This should be possible by adding a subset of the folders as vaults to the workspaces.

    thanks for writing up. If someone needs a workaround to use rewrite or redirect rules for their github pages, they might take benefits from your workflow.

    Hi, everyone. I'm trying to import my Obsidian-based folder of Markdown files (471 items) into Dendron, but when I run
    Dendron: Import Pod -> Import Markdown
    it sits on
    Finding Documents…
    for waaaay too long (left it overnight, still the same). Any hints about where I should be looking in VS Code to figure out what's going on? The output console has this in it:

    Okay, figured it out… I had the wrong name of the Vault.I thought it was called
    root
    , but it was actually called
    vault
    . Derp.

    How to know the version of Dendron I'm on? Will Dendron automatically update itself or is there a command to update?

    If you use
    Dendron: Lookup Note
    , the quickpick bar will have the version number labeled:

    You can also go into the extension panel and right click the cog wheel next to Dendron, select
    Install another version
    , which will then show you a dropdown of all versions published. The current version will be labeled there as well:
1...526527528...757Latest
