If you want to embed the content in the note you need to use ![[...]] As your reference

You can create a new workspace by using

Dendron: Initialize Workspace

command. For navigating between the two workspaces you will want to open them in two different vscode window. Another way could be to just add a new vault in the existing tutorial workspace and you can write your learnings in that newly created vault. I personally added the dendron remote vault to my personal workspace so that I can have the dendron wiki locally.

Perfect, how do I stop it from including the rest of that note? How do I make it just the Images section?

What's a remote vault? You mean like access to dendron wiki by the side of your own dendron, so that you don't have to have 2 windows open at once? Maybe we should contact the devs to make that the default, unless specified otherwise?

You can use a range reference as detailed on this page https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f1af56bb-db27-47ae-8406-61a98de6c78c/

A remote vault is a vault that is cloned from a git repo. You can choose from a registry(dendron vault, tldr etc) or enter a custom git url. More info here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/6682fca0-65ed-402c-8634-94cd51463cc4/

How can I setup a github remote vault repository to publish only that vault to github pages? is that possible? I've only seen the guide where it explains how to publish the complete workspace

I added a remote vault (git) with sub-folders. how can I organize notes in sub-folders (where a sub-folder is not a vault)? I try to add notes, couldn't find a way in dendron to move notes to a sub-folder (not a vault)II

This is a little difficult to do today. Essentially, you would create a workspace for publishing that vault, add that vault as a remote vault to the newly created workspace. Afterwards, you can follow the regular publishing instructions: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/FnK2ws6w1uaS1YzBUY3BR.html#summary

With Dendron you organize your notes within hierarchies, not folders. There are several reasons, but one that makes sense is that a file can serve as both a file and a folder, whereas a folder can only serve as a folder. See more details here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558.html#will-dendron-ever-support-folders

yep, that was the solution I tried out today! Created a stub workspace which I have as a separate github repo and in the github action I download the other repo! Works well, but is a bit counterintuitive. I was also thinking of doing it the other way around, that way the page would be right where the vault is.

we'll be making this easier moving forward by decoupling the publishing config from the workspace config. tagging @User for visibility

great idea! also, I noticed that there was a

light.css

and a

dark.css

in the

assets-dendron/css

directory - is there a way to set the style to be dark or light? Couldn't find any documentation, looked for an option here: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f2ed8639-a604-4a9d-b76c-41e205fb8713/

not currently - we use that for the dendron preview (re-uses the same assets). if you are using a dark vscode theme, we switch to the dark theme. planning on exposing it to the published site but haven't done so yet

Do I have something misconfigured? I started a new Dendron workspace and manually initialized a git repo via the command line. I did some manual commit and then tried the "Add and commit" command which gives this error: > error while running command: The "path" argument must be of type string. Received an instance of Object

add and commit is currently broken. we recommend using workspace sync right now to commit and push all your vaults

can i continue with command line git (as I usually do) or I'll miss some Dendron goodies?

The sync command is effectively

git add . && git commit && git pull && git push

with a few security checks. If you are comfortable with the CLI you can absolutely keep using it

Can we customize dendron preview with custom CSS?

not yet, its on the roadmap

I'm considering changing from Joplin to Dendron, but there's one thing I'm not sure of. I've got a system that runs on a linux box here, and once a day it assembles a daily log file. I can use the Joplin API to create a note from a Python script, so the daily logs are assembled in the same place. Is it possible to do the same thing with Dendron? I don't want to have to manually start this from Dendron, it has to be completely automatic and run from cron.

You can use the Dendron CLI, or even just drop a markdown file into the Dendron vault. Dendron will automatically recognize them next time you start it.

Thanks, I wondered about that. An .md file with front matter set by the script is OK, but I wasn't sure if the Id meant something specific. Do I have to set it?

You should set it, but it can be any random string. There are no requirements

Excellent ! Thanks for the help 🙂

No problem! (Actually one requirement is that it needs to be unique, but you can just get a UUID or something which is what Dendron does anyway)

I was about to ask if a UUID would be acceptable - you're a mind reader.

hello, how would i link to a file outside Dendron (such as a pdf) and have it open, like with its default program?

The most common way to link the non-note files(like pdf, images etc) is by keeping them in the assets folder inside Dendron vault and linking them from your note. https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/3472226a-ff3c-432d-bf5d-10926f39f6c2/#links

I am keeping the vault inside OneDrive and I would like to reference things relative to that, without having to move things inside the vault.
