I’m not sure if this is correct channel but I’d like to ask/confirm if there’s change in specification how autocomplete works? By autocomplete, I’m referring to when I type in “[[partial-filename” and will complete to a note link. I’m making this inquiry because I noticed a change recently. Previously, I could type a pattern like “thistest” for a filename “this-is-a-file-test” and it will work but now, it does not. I don’t know if it’s a bug or this is correct behaviour. Thank you in advance for any response. If this was already raised as a topic, please let me know the thread as I am still trying to become familiar with discord. (Also, thank you for the fantastic work with dendron. It’s an amazing thing for me to finally use.)

Guys! I am stuck on "still connecting to engine. please try again in a few moments..." and it never works, anyone has any idea how I can fix this?

Do you have Dendron Markdown Links installed? If so, having this extension installed and enabled will cause problems with that command. We have since move the note graph capability to our main extension so it works natively.

Also another question, sorry for the spam: While exporting the notes I get this!

Copy code

error while running command: Command failed with exit code 1: npm run --silent export > Build error occurred Error: Specified basePath has to start with a /, found "MyNotes" at assignDefaults (/Users/shivam/Dendron/.next/node_modules/next/dist/server/config.js:170:19) at Object.loadConfig [as default]

@kevins8 Hi! How are you? Is it possible to support fragmented texts inside blockquotes in dendron?

Copy code

concept/idea
<!--- input --->
<blockquote cite="https://oleb.net/2020/swift-docker-linux/#:~:text=running,container">
<!--- output: "Running the Docker container" is render here --->
</blockquote>

So... sample ... syntax: :~:text=[prefix-,]textStart[,textEnd][,-suffix] , references: https://github.com/WICG/scroll-to-text-fragment , https://discourse.wicg.io/t/html-quotation-and-citation-elements-from-fragmented-texts/5918 demo...

for this - dendron publishes regular HTML which is then hosted statically. if it is supported in a webbrowser, then the published dendron site should support it

Is there any way to get vim to work with dendron at the moment

Preston

07/05/2022, 6:18 PM

I guess I could edit existing files and sync them in vs code later

Preston

07/05/2022, 6:19 PM

I guess, actually I'd really just need to worry about establishing frontmatter

Preston

07/05/2022, 6:20 PM

let dendron deal with the rest next time i connect

@kevins8 Can you please help me what could be the error while trying to export my notes?

What command are you running to get this error?

dendron: publish export -> default config -> build -> error

Looking at the

Packed Circles

feature via the link in the release note link brought me into the Dendron doc to

Dendron/Topics/Packed Circles

yet this page seems unreachable by the nav pane as

Demdron

has no

Topics

child listed/discoverable. Do we have a hidden children feature/bug?

Can you share the content of dendron.yml, the part under the Publishing: bit

It's not in the nav bar by design, but most of the topics are clustered under the user guide section to group them together better

07/05/2022, 7:33 PM

Does it work if you try dendron publish dev?

shivam.mehta25

07/05/2022, 7:34 PM

yes

shivam.mehta25

07/05/2022, 7:35 PM

even though it says server is running on localhost:3000 ; I cannot access it from browser

Hm, sometimes it takes a few seconds for the first page to load up as it renders everything. I'm not seeing anything obvious, you might want to try posting in the #940064438910865460 channel and see if someone can see something there sorry

I'm refactoring a large note hierarchy, and vscode is now opening all the files that were affected. Is there a way to avoid this?

I have some scripts and configuration snippets for this, although they need to be changed slightly with the new version of the cli (mostly just

sed -i '/s/lookup/lookup_legacy/' <script>

, as far as I can tell). Check out this thread: https://discord.com/channels/717965437182410783/911482298065633280 If you use fzf for lookups and send selections to the Dendron engine, you can have it make notes with frontmatter and your templates and everything
