we don't directly support this yet. you could have a canonical tags hierarchy, eg.

#tags.c.startup

, and have links from the non-canonical tags into this tag meanwhile, we have this issue for alias notes (https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/128) which you can upvote that more directly addresses this usecase

Ok cool. Yeah didn't think it'd be as simple as a

301 redirect

equivalent.

dendron terms itself hierarchical, tiddlywiki says it is non-linear. with respect to these concepts, is there anything which is not possible in dendron, while tiddlywiki can do? or viceversa?

i think both have tagging, backlinking concepts

in this it says to use the

Luxon style formatting

how does one use it?

Ok i keep reading this doc: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/ffec2853-c0e0-4165-a368-339db12c8e4b/ . But no where do I see how do I access the file holding the front matter config I tried the dendron.yml file but was not able to find these

Dendron builtin keyword

Can someone help me?

I believe what this doc is saying is that you can manually type in your own frontmatter attributes as long as they aren't the same as one of the builtins listed there, but my understanding is that there currently isn't a way to set custom default properties for note frontmatter that would be automatically filled in on note creation. There's a feature proposal addressing this here:

I'd say that it's certainly possible to represent both hierarchical and non-linear conceptual structures in both Dendron and TiddlyWiki. There are going to be major difference in the relative emphasis that each tool on those styles of representation, and thus how ergonomic the associated concrete operations are, but both of them are complex enough to have a very full range of capabilities

Not sure if you ended up finding what you needed here, but it's all on this page:

I found this but do i type 'dt.toISO(); ' if i want the iso date in the dendron.yml file?

Thanks for the issue link; looks like I need to create a template for the time being

I have downloaded the 'tldr' seed to my workspace. Whats the simplest way to copy those notes into my vault?

If I keep it as a seed, will it auto update if the seed source is changed?

I haven't actually done much with this myself, but I think you want the format tokens at the bottom of the document, and maybe the presets

Hi, I'm using Obsidian to use my Dendron notes on my phone by pushing with Termux. It works out real nice. Is there some way to make markdown compatible between Obsidian and Dendron. Most of markdown markup is compatible, stuff like links aren't.

with the new handlebars support, are there any reccomended extensions to go along with it? or is it all built in nice and clean to Dendron?

@ichimga pandoc might be able to do the conversion from obsidian's markdown to Dendron's markdown.

Yes, you will need to pull the changes in yourself though. You can use the "Dendron: Workspace Sync" command, or click on "git pull" on the git panel of VSCode. There are also some extensions that can automatically pull git for you.

Hm, maybe. What I'm asking for ideally is to have same markdown syntax between both. Or more simply, either/both Dendron and Obsidian being able to interpret each other's markdown syntax.

pretty sure dendron is sticking with it's small variant on GFM (github flavored markdown) i'm not sure what Obsidian uses.

Different question: can the Calendar View be customized? The date numbers that link to notes are only slightly highlighted and can't differentiate from the non-notes ones.

I see. Thanks.

Hi -- I just tried to move a section of my notes using the "Refactor" command. It looks like the note filenames were renamed accordingly, however, the Tree view is pretty messed up now. There are some additional nodes in the heirarchy, and the old location of the notes are still there. Is there a way to have dendron "rebuild" the tree view somehow?

There are some known bugs with the tree view we're working on. For now, you can restart VSCode and the tree view should fix itself

Thanks @SeriousBug, I tried restarting, and the strangeness persists.

Can you try running the command "Dendron: Reload Index" and then restarting again? 😅

sure. I'll give it a shot

Still the same

Currently, my notes are named such as: a.b.c.d, but for some reason the tree has added nodes so that it is like " a.b.x.c.d"
