So I wans't able to use the autocomplete to write the book name down

And now, after I spent some time writting this, it finally filtered something (showed the book I wanted)

Like, it wasn't filtering my assets in real time

Hmm, I'm actually not sure if that's supported now, I haven't really used static assets in my vault as of yet

except for images, which I chose to host on AWS SS3 instead

@User autocomplete comes from our fork of the markdown-notes app. i think it just does autocomplete on wiki-links

Hmmm okay, thanks!

feel free to give us a feature request and we'll add it to our roadmap: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

Is there a way to support .tex files too? 'Cause, from what I understood, everything that isn't .md goes into assets - but .tex are almost .md, and are more easily exported to pdf. I also wanted to create a template for my .tex - this is already possible, right?

@User if you're exporting with

pandoc

you can intermix LaTeX in and export if you edit the default settings for exports. Templates for

pandoc

can be created, but they're outside of Dendron so to speak. (I haven't checked if Dendron has custom templates for

pandoc

included.) I would recommend using

pandoc

to export to PDFs. Exceptions may include complicated tikz-drawings or other figures or such, but you can compile those with

pandoc

and include them using

includegraphics

or similarly if you want vector assets.

Hmmm okay - I will research about pandoc then. It converts .md to pdf or do I need to write .tex anyway?

pandoc

converts between a whole bunch of different formats. I wouldn't recommend trying to convert from LaTeX to other formats, but you can pipe in be it Markdown, Word-documents, wikitext, some BBcode, and whatnot and it'll use it's syntax tree to convert between them. Put in some markdown and get a PDF out. (The PDF is created by creating an intermediary .tex from your markdown, which is then compiled.)

Oohkay! Great! Thanks

@User @User fyi, the markdown preview that dendron uses supports exporting to a whole bunch of formats: https://shd101wyy.github.io/markdown-preview-enhanced/#/html

it shells out to the client side binaries so you'll need to install the relevant executables

If I’m working in a collaborative project using Dendron as our documentation is it fine to just throw the

vault

directory on git? I think everything else is used for workspace settings (so we can fight over themes with every pull) and export but I can very possibly be wrong.

yep. that's actually exactly what I do

you can then use all the natural goodness of git pull/blame/etc

if the project is open source, you can use codestream to add comments inline: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=CodeStream.codestream

or you can do real time collab google doc style https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/services/live-share/

@User oh perfect! I didn't know it did!

@User I have yet another question: shouldn't the generated graph link my notes both by backlinks and by it's hierarchy? Or is this what the Dendron: Show Schema Graph would do if I had the schema for each of my top hierarchies? If it isn't possible to link to every top hierarchy right now - is it possible to modify the code that generates new notes (I think it is cmd + shift + L) to generate with those backlinks already?

that's what it will do in the future 😅 currently, it's just a hierarchal graph

you might be able to generate the backlink graph if you install

markdown-links

, the extension that our graph is forked off

What should I do after I deployed my github on netify?

I'd pushed my files in the repo

Is there a way to store images locally in Dendron? Obsidian allows you to set an attachment folder where images can be locally stored. I am looking for something similar. Thanks in advance.

wait

the images are stored locally

in the

assets
