im not following, - What exactly are you trying to replicate? (what is the desired outcome/action) - What is the current state (where are you at/what's going wrong)

Just a quick question. I've only had Dendron a couple of days here so, I know how to open __today's__ journal page. How do I open tomorrow's so I can pop a few things in to remind myself of them tomorrow?

You can click on tomorrow in the calendar view, which will create a journal for that day. The calendar view is in the Dendron sidebar.

There's a side bar! \o/ 😄 Okay I've totally found it now. Thank you!

you can manually move them in the file explorer. note this doesn't preserve backlinks. otherwise, the "Move note command" in dendron lets you multi-select notes to move. if you need to mass move notes with a similar syntax as refactor, for that, would recommend doing a feature request

error on certain notes

so in the video u save if we use the prefix say "date" so after typing date in the md note it will trigger it to add "$CURRENT_YEAR.$CURRENT_MONTH.$CURRENT_DATE"

are there any recommended showcases (aware we have that channel) of this beyond an out of the box usage? I've tried reading documents and stuff, but I am pretty much using it out of the box and probably not really appreciating just how good Dendron is and how much it can be configured/tweaked. It's easier when seeing what others have done to get inspired and understand what you can do yourself. So is there anything in particular in #743194856788328497 that is recommended to check out?

Is it possible to create a custom command similar to "Dendron: Create Meeting Note" that will create a note from a custom schema and template with the date it was created?

You can use Note Traits, but you don't get a completely new command, you have to use "Create Note With Custom Trait" and then pick the trait you want to use. You can create a keyboard shortcut for that trait however. https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/EQoaBI8A0ZcswKQC3UMpO/

Thanks I'll give this a shot

For previewing (

npx dendron publish dev

) is it possible to just generate a single or set of pages? Eg I'm doing lots of css tweaks, and with several hundred notes it takes 30-50secs to rebuild to see if my stuff has moved a couple pixels or whatever.

That's what it does actually, it rebuilds only the page you are looking at. It's just a bit slow. One alternative would be to use the style editor in your browser to edit the custom style without refreshing. But you need to be careful to copy the contents into the real file when you are done or the changes will be lost.

what I would do is start a new workspace with a single note, tweak styles in there, and then c/p the styling

Ah ok, so I'm not modifying any content, but the publish process is going to remain the same. Alright, I'll just mod the css in situ and transfer to file as I go.

first guess is that the file isnt working becuause it cannot parse due to a syntax error. see the red sqwiggles under the

"note"

snippet, you're missing a comma between snippets.

So I did the fix the error that u mentioned; But it still doesn't work 😓

Hey Dendron team, Is the show note graph command broken? I Can see the local note graph in the graph panel, but show note graph command results in "still connecting to engine. please try again in a few moments..."

Do you have Dendron Markdown Links installed? This extension is no longer maintained and Dendron has the note graph feature built-in natively now. If you have Dendron Markdown Links installed you might have triggered the command of that extension instead.

Yup, Thanks! I had the markdown link extension installed. After uninstalling, the graph view is working again.

are there any escape characters? I wanted to type something with # but then I couldnt escape the tag with any of the common escape characters like \

How to configure the front matter? which yaml file is it in?

I don't know

The frontmatter of a note is the part at the start of that note, above the

---

. It may be folded by default, you'll see a right arrow

>

on the gutter, the part between the text and the numbers on the left. You can edit the frontmatter to add new keys (like

status: ...

for task notes).

ya is the file called dendron.yml resoponsible for that?

The folding?

dendron.yml

is the config for the entirety of Dendron. You can change it do things like enable or disable features, change where your journal notes are etc., but it doesn't change the frontmatter of the notes.

ok

Did you try backticks (I think that's the name for this ` )? Those work for me, on Mac.

I was trying to find a wiki page which explained this and I was not able to can U pls guide me on what is present in this file and what are functions that I can tweak and avoid (like absolutely avoid touching)
