    You cannot query by them yet, right?
  • s
    Yup, but that's one of the planned features with query support: https://docs.dendron.so/notes/O4f9yfDoO7E7gRRDeBeCh/
  • s
    Today one of the biggest uses is interop with other tools, for example you can have custom frontmatter properties export to Airtable. We use them in our internal vault to tie tasks to github issues and PRs
  • k
    I guess that will become exponentially more useful once there is a proper plugin API, right?
  • k
    Looking forward to that 🙂
  • s
    That too!

    Another question/feature request (?) It would be cool if you could somehow automatically extract note refs of tag uses - using a fixed number of lines before/after to include - and/or automatically detecting/extracting the next enclosing paragraph/bullet point
  • k
    I could see marking quotes of people (for example meeting notes) via person tags... and then putting them out all on one page... including the actual content/context
  • k
    Or whatever other possible use 😉
  • k
    maybe just as a smart query with content preview
  • k
    but generating as note ref for notes would also be cool
  • p
    I don't get it
  • k
    Idk which is easier more useful......
  • p
    you mean add a "description" of notes with the first few words / lines of the content?
  • k
    Example
    Copy code
    markdown
# note-a
Long text

## Some Paragraph
- #personA said this and that
    Copy code
    markdown
# note-b
Long text

## Another paragraph
- #personA said another thing
    and then you search or extract by 
    #personA
    or whatever and get an overview which displays
    Copy code
    # Context of #personA

![[note-a#some-paragraph]]

![[note-b#another-paragraph]]

    (Well I haven't really used note references yet... so syntax might be wrong)
  • k
    Basically extracting all occurrences of a tag..... including the surrounding context and displaying that 😉
  • k
    Basically backlinks with context
  • k
    🤔
  • p
    @User this functionality exists already, right?
  • p

    What I'm talking about is literally backlinks I think..... Just also displaying the direct surrounding context of the link.... in a note ref... dynamically so on-the-fly The line information seems to be already kept inside the index internally 😉
  • k
    Maybe.... wildcard references could be a way to realize that / or something similar to what I imagine
  • k
    I have to try out and play around with them
  • p
    I just got your point. you mean to show a piece of context in the back link. maybe some words/lines, right? This sounds interesting.
  • k
    Thanks for the pointers to the right doc pages 👍 just started out recently so I appreciate that
  • p
    No problem

    Hey, Unfortunately i'm experiencing the same issue.. when running 
    dendron publish dev
    i'm seeing my notes from last month (last updated before today) with the 
    updated
    timestamp of today, but the date string showing 1 month ago The 
    dendron: show preview
    command showing the correct file.
  • s
    Are you saying the contents of the files are out of date?
