If I want more than that, I'll do something like

markdown
^summarystart
stuff I want to embed in another note
[... as many lines as necessary]
^summaryend

and then reference it with

![[note.example#^summarystart:#^summaryend]]

are you able to use the CLI?

I use taskwarrior with Dendron too btw

You are free to generate the frontmatter yourself, you just need the same fields. The id is any random string, it can be anything. The rest you set for whatever you want too

## Generate JSON task project:work.product.abcd export rc.json.array=on | jq '{ task:[ group_by(.project,.status)[] | { project: .[0].project, status:.[0].status, "description": [.[]? | { desc: (.description) , tags: .tags|join(";"),"urgency":.urgency,priority:.priority } ] }] }' > ~/OneDrive\ vault/assets/abcd-task.json ## Generate Markdown node ~/development/taskmd/taskwtomd.js ~/OneDrive/vault/assets/abcd-task.json > ~/OneDrive/work/vault/product.abcd.task.md

I could have been clearer; I meant the Dendron CLI. You could generate the frontmatter yourself as SeriousBug just suggested. Another option would be to use dendron's note lookup from the CLI. something like

dendron note lookup --quiet --wsRoot "$DENDRON_WORKSPACE" --attach --useLocalEngine --enginePort 4040 --query "$NOTE"

in a shellscript. It would generate the frontmatter for you.

@User @User will try generating the frontmatter

Has anyone ever made a dendron discord bot by chance?

Not that I've heard of, what kinds of features did you have in mind?

Things like saving things like pinned messages, task management for projects, and just general documentation

Really geared more for trying to get documentation for projects from their servers

That sounds like a good idea, I was recently reading a criticism that with Discord a lot of the discussion history is usually lost or is not easy to find. Being able to import useful information to Dendron would be a great use case to avoid that.

there was a small discussion in #942085703968382996 about drafting emails and discord messages in dendron, and transferring by copy pasting

I found docs-markdown has this functionality - I've found it to work well with Dendron so far: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=docsmsft.docs-markdown

Is there a way to keep a particular note preview pinned, and then any new notes opened would use a different preview? Use case is I want to keep my daily journal preview open at all times (using tables for task management) but be able to open and edit and preview other notes throughout the day.

So I have uploaded & published a dendron workspace that contained a single vault

If the daily journal does not have too much Dendron-specific Markdown, it is possible to use the built-in VS Code Markdown Preview in addition to Dendron's own preview

Does workplace sync pushes into whatever branch is checked out or always into the

master

?

not atm, though its come up. feel free to submit a feature request 🙂

Is there a way that when I create a new journal it copies over the content from my last journal entry?

It's possible with hooks, we have an example that uses hooks and a third party script: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/61055b5f-6216-4fd3-b9a1-82f79017b59e/

Before the template variable update, I could generate yesterday's date by

{{CURRENT_DAY - 1}}

. Now I am trying to generate it by using

<%=CURRENT_DAY-1%>

but no luck, any advice on how to do this?

we disabled it with the update since that feature relied on javascript execution. we want to minimize contexts where code can execute and are looking to limit it to specific features like hooks and note traits

I see...thanks!

apologies for the disruption - we mentioned it in the changelog and had a discussion about it here -> https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/discussions/2207

Will the features of the dendron markdown preview enhanced be integrated into the normal dendron preview?

Yes, we're absolutely planning on it. There are a few issues that already to track the missing features, please feel free to comment on them if anything is not documented yet: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1360

Anyone know some strategies for breaking PDF pages where images span multiple pages?
