You are thinking of doing something literate programming style, a la org-mode? I think Dendron will try to add something in the future for it, but not yet

like jupyter notebooks where you can execute code in the note

@falcomomo something like this for example https://observablehq.com/@observablehq/the-stack-overflow-survey-2022

I have a question about tags: It says on the wiki that: 'Note that the color you assign your tag will also be displayed in the Dendron Tree View.'

I've reloaded the index, but I don't see the color showing up in the tree view.

Also, I get that the "color" changes the square in front of the hashtag symbol, but is there a way to make the "link" itself a color? Like, if I set the tag to be red, can the color of the link also become red?

And a second question -- is there a way to make a clicked backlink (in the backlink panel) open in a new tab?

It currently changes the tab I'm in and then you lose the backlink panel.

> It says on the wiki that: 'Note that the color you assign your tag will also be displayed in the Dendron Tree View.' ah, thanks for catching - this doc is out of date. we used to do this when the tree view was created as a webview but no longer suppport this > And a second question -- is there a way to make a clicked backlink (in the backlink panel) open in a new tab? not right now but it would make a good feature request 🙂

I'm at the very beginning of my learning and I haven't yet learned how to use GitHub -- but I know it exists. I'll put "make feature request" on my own task list 🙂

Finally, on the same topic, I know that the document says that "tags" and "wiki- links" are functionally the same thing, however, you can have a popup preview in the "note preview panel" if you use ![[ ]] for your link

but you can't do !# for your tag

THe nice thing about tags is that they get auto-generated in the tree under the "tags" section (i.e. - they are not just another note)

And now, in the preview pane, you can't hover over the tag and see where it goes, nor can you force it to show those (cute!) preview bubbles in the text.

Am I missing something or is this another "feature request" area?

Also, I'm not sure I"m explaining well enough what I mean ...

> but you can't do !# for your tag yeah, the syntax here would be

![[tags.]]

instead of

!#

I couldn't begin to tell you how many times I've done something like this! Eventually I've come around to telling myself "a problem with an easy solution is my favorite kind of problem" instead of being immediately mortified.

Hello.... I am trying to use dendron on windows 10 and get the following error message when vscode launches

I have the newest version of vscode as well

Thank you, that makes sense and it works. Is there something in the works for making it so that hovering in the preview panel will work?

Not at the moment. Would be great if you can leave a feature request though! https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

It seems like there is HTML code in a file that isn't expected to have HTML. Could you check if any of the config files (

dendron.yml

,

dendron.code-workspace

, or any VSCode setting files) have HTML code in it?

This might be the firewall or corporate proxy blocking Dendron. I have the same problem on my work computer and I couldn't get Dendron working on it.

Is this on Dendron version 0.108 ?

For me, it's 0.107.2.

The error message outputs a HTML page as json. Here's a script that changes it back to HTML if it's useful.

python
import json

html = ""
with open("error.json") as f:
    data = json.load(f)
    print(data['ctx'])
    print(data['msg'])
    for i in data['error']:
        html += str(data['error'][i])

with open("error.html", "w+") as f:
    print("See: error.html")
    f.write(html)

Dendron windows error

i was reading the section on how to install dendron cli aren't the docs outdated? one of the pre req was to install nodejs and isn't that available in the apt repos?
