interesting

so its not possible to say 'apply this schema to every child regardless of depth'

so if i wanted a hook to run on for my monolith tickets is

hooks:
    onCreate:
        -
            id: link-to-jira
            pattern: monolith.tickets.*
            type: js

hypothetically enough?

hte link to the 'note' object links to a blank line on github (foundation.ts:66)

i think i have the hooks working but everytime i edit a hook

i have to restart vsc to get its changes picked up

reload index isn't working

hooks work great thanks @SeriousBug (my dev cycle for making them is messy because of reload index not functioning) i was able to add my custom tags and update the title to bypass the pascal casing formatter (jira tickets have dashes in them)

is there a way to have a hook ask for user input ?

not currently. a note trait can ask for user input but they are currently limited in functionality. if there's something that you need that traits don't currently support, let us know with a feature request

ill look into note trates to see if i can - my goal is to use user input to fill a custom frontmatter field

what are the conventions I must adhere to in order to make Dendron work? - I cannot use nested directories; every directory must be added as a vault - every markdown file must have frontmatter (i avoid frontmatter and have a different way of extracting title, tags and dates) - the frontmatter will contain an id, changed and updated field? - dates are unix timestamps (i use a YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm iso format) i'm just exploring dendron but i struggle to get started because i do not want to re-organize and re-format my notes to for a specific tool

You're right with those points. There is a markdown import command that can import your notes so you don't have to manually do so, although I'm not sure that it will read the ISO formatted dates so it might replace the dates. https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/f23a6290-2dec-45dc-b616-c218ee53db6b/ Also to clarify, the frontmatter is generated automatically and there's an option to always fold it in your editor, so you could ignore the frontmatter if you prefer.

oh, and I noticed that hierachy is done using dot names, rather than folders, correct?

i might just give it a try and import all -- i'm using git so i can easily branch and refactor after all

Yes, we found that more flexible because it's easier to refactor them later, and you can also create notes on the "directories". So

recipe

can be a note while

recipe.rice

is also a note. The import should convert your folders to dot hierarchies

oh that's good to know! Ok, i'm just going to give it a try and see how I like it. (i am currently overwhelmed by a lack of structure, so dendron seems nice)

i am havin some trbl w schemas. particularly, i am tryna enter glob patterns but they dont seem to be triggering the autocomplete. i have

project

schema (parent: root, namespace: true) w children

authors

,

desc

, and those autocomplete fine. but i also have simple glob

version

w

pattern: "version[0-9]"

. doesnt seem to assist ever. also can

project

not have a pattern bcuz its a child of root? why is that a constraint, if so?

You're right. The first part of the schema, the one that's the child of the root, can't have a pattern. I don't think it's impossible to have, please feel free to send a feature request for it: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new/choose For the schemas, if you could share the schema and what notes work and what notes don't, we can see why it might not be working.

ive basically completely described it.authors and desc have only id, version has id + pattern fields.

i dont have the file easily at hand since its on my work laptop...

Hi there

I am using Dendron in my studies. I am primarily interested in info about using LaTex. At the moment I am trying to create a global macro. There is a distinct lack of info about this, especially within Dendron. I am trying to do this:

$$
\gdef\lg{#00ff00}
\gdef\gtext#1{\color{\lg} \text{#1} \color{r}}
\gdef\rtext#1{\color{red} \text{#1} \color{r}}
$$

Any suggestions?

dendron supports katex, not latex?

for that i suggest pandoc+context

Sorry, I mean KaTex

I can use

\def

instead of

\gdef

in each code slot, but I would prefer it be a global entry.

not even sure katex supports that?

It supports it, and Dendron doesn't bitch either. It just doesn't seem to actually make the macro global!

from a reference in https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/6DZiBObwhZNYRjnokQ422/

for access control, multi-vault lets users configure specific vaults to be private which turns off publication and sharing of any notes inside said vault

After reading this I assumed I could mark a confidential vault as private so that if I tried to reference it in another vault, it wouldn't work. I have a confidential remote vault that I want to prevent myself from accidentally referencing it in another shared/non-confidential vault. I can't find a property or way to do this from the docs, am I missing something or is my assumption wrong?
