    yeah - that's another reason why we had to fork our dependencies. once we finish the server migration, it should be much easier to consolidate core functionality into dendron

    @User when using github pages, is there anything else I must do to see the images on my dendron site? On Vscode it shows the images as expected, but not on github. https://gusmmm.github.io/dendron_lei/notes/86866913-cf7f-4986-bafa-74a6a2bb1dec.html

    ola @User I think the issues is because you are using a subdomain which needs a little play around with to get the images to show up. Hopefully this https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/196 can assist to sort out your issue

    what is the root.md file in a new vault? Can it be renamed? Is it a good practice to have multiple hierarchies in the same vault?
  • k

    @User root.md is kind of like your home page. it's the source of all hierarchies in your vault. it can't be renamed but you can fill it with anything you want. a vault can and should contain any number of hierarchies.

    so typically would you create links in your root.md to your other hierarchies?
  • k

    10/06/2020, 5:20 PM
    you could but its not necessary. dendron automatically "links" your hierarchies when you create them in the sense that you always see all children of the current level when you perform a lookup. you can still manually add links if you wish to group them in a custom order

    thanks. One other question. Is there a convenient way of switching into a mode where all of the md files are shown in preview mode by default? When reading through notes, I dont want to view them as raw markdown..
  • k

    10/06/2020, 5:24 PM
    you can toggle the following setting to always show the preview. you'll still see the md files but you'll always have the preview on the side
    Copy code
    "markdown-preview-enhanced.automaticallyShowPreviewOfMarkdownBeingEdited": true,

    Its too bad that there isnt a way to do this. I started using obsidian and then found dendron. I really like having all the power of vscode, as well as the approach to hierarchies, but not being able to view all the pages solely in preview mode (and have the outliner grok the preview) makes it less than ideal as a viewer. And I spend more time viewing than writing

    @User If you spend more time viewing then writing, couldn't you publish to github pages and consume your data there, only returning to VSCode to edit?
  • k

    kevins8

    10/07/2020, 3:25 PM
    @User @User yeah, that's what i would recommend. another solution is using some alternative tool for viewing. if you use mac, I'm a big fan of notational velocity https://brettterpstra.com/projects/nvalt/

    best thing is that dendron lookups place nicely with how nvalt finds notes 🙂

    wow, that's sweet. that's the powerful thing of this just being markdown files, wow. happy to see that this works

    Has anyone imported Bear notes to use with Dendron? I don't really use tagging there, so I expect this to basically be a folder with md files. And then I assume I would iteratively rename notes and put them in hierarchy. Any particular gotchas or tips?
  • k

    kevins8

    10/07/2020, 3:36 PM
    so disclaimer that i haven't tested this but if bear just exports folders and markdown files, you should be able to import it with dendron's local file pod https://dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html#localfile-pod

    I keep trying to arbitrarily write-off dendron to get beyond analysis paralysis on choosing a PKM, but the thoughtfulness of everything here keeps bringing me back lol
  • k

    10/07/2020, 3:45 PM
    yeah, there's a lot of options out there. this is why we have the pod system: https://dendron.so/notes/b1dbd32d-ca87-4489-9ba0-01bf7928cba5.html#details granted it's still early but the end goal is to let users import/export/sync their data from/to dendron to any other tool. dendron is never supposed to lock you in but to help you grow 🌱

    love the goal/philosophy...reminds me of a project I just saw that aims to enable interoperability via schema transformations: https://www.inkandswitch.com/cambria.html (🤔 maybe should go in

    learning a lot about new tools today 🙂 looks like an SQL layer for schema migrations. might reach out to these guys since it intersects with what dendron is trying to do

    For publishing? Is it all or nothing for a specific vault? I want to keep personal notes and public notes separate.
  • k

    publishing can be configured on a per-hierarchy, per-file, and even per-line level https://dendron.so/notes/ffa6a4ba-5eda-48c7-add5-8e2333ba27b4.html#sitehierarchies-str
