No, the id: on the yaml.

you can edit it directly i think'

True. But is there a way to change/generate it automatically?

Thanks, btw.

Mind to take a screenshot of the frontmatter? (I forgot how it looks like and I'm not on my laptop now)

Maybe I'll recall it

why would you like to change the id? Or you mean changing the title?

The id. Generate one for myself. Or even change its format.

If that was possible, of course.

I think it's just random stuff for every note (disclaimer: I'm not sure, hope kevin will explain what does id do)

The title comes according to your naming, if you have

root.hello-world

, the title will be sth like

Hello world

Yes. Thanks.

A second question for today: are there local preview instructions on a mac similar to the windows instructions provided at: https://www.dendron.so/notes/63b184f7-1901-4580-af40-97ef87069a04.html

So I poked around a little - basically this site will take care of the ruby/jekyll stuff for you on a mac: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/installation/macos/

I have put

toc: true

in my frontmatter and

## Table of Contents

inside my note but it isn't rendering the table of contents in the preview. Am I doing something wrong here?

@User the toc is only for when you publish your notes. if your viewing your notes locally, you can view the toc either from the outline view or by toggling the preview - outline view: https://www.loom.com/share/41d1bd75be8e4fa0b0666b6e8f22174b?from_recorder=1 - toggling the preview: https://www.loom.com/share/516b862bc30b49edbff3239632e35f90?from_recorder=1

Are new schemas added to the root.schema.yml or are they placed in their files. I'm trying to add this project schema (https://www.dendron.so/notes/cebe5393-5da0-484c-a24a-0939f0cef768.html) so that I can have meeting notes. Thank you in advance1

new schemas are added as their own files. you can create a schema using

schema lookup

(cmd+shift+l on mac or ctrl+shift+l on wind/linux)

Thank you, and the journal specific settings listed on the meeting minutes go inside the schema?

those are set using your workspace settings https://dendron.so/notes/26d66e84-6e4f-4688-bf6e-af070def7c38.html#settings

> creating a new note, editing an existing note, attaching a file, I guess basically as an alternative to the commands that would normally be run with cmd-shift P @User its something that I thought about but wasn't sure if anyone wanted. could you add it as a feature request and also detail your intended usage? https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=feature_request.md&title=

> I think it's just random stuff for every note (disclaimer: I'm not sure, hope kevin will explain what does id do) @User @User currently, the id is just a uuid that is generated when you create a note. we currently use it for publishing --> each dendron page is published under its id so that even when you rename/refactor the note, the link will not break. https://dendron.so/notes/5fcb8564-7209-4a80-9bb8-025bc8eb489b.html#permanent-ids it is also used internally by dendron when working with notes. as for changing it, we don't currently support that though that could be built in. whats your intended use case for generating your own id?

Is there any way to get a list of links to all the files that fall under a hierarchy or all the backlinks to a note? I'm thinking something like

((list:links [[daily.journal]]))

or

((list:backlinks [[daily.journal.2020.10.22]]))

and then have it put a dynamically indexed list of links into the markdown preview.

And when you export

the json pod get all the wiki-links pointing to and from a page. here's a sample from running

publish pod

on the pods page: https://dendron.so/notes/66727a39-d0a7-449b-a10d-f6c438185d7f.html

json export right now doesn't export the links but will be making this week so that it's at feature parity with publish. currently, you can use "publish" to get all links for a note and you will be able to use "export" to get all links for all notes. we'll also release configuration for export so you can export on a per-hierarchy basis

Similar functionality exists in denote, nb, kb, etc.

I'm really looking for something like ((ref: [[dendron.note]])) but instead of showing the content of the note, I'd get a list of back links.

or get a list of links to all the children of a hierarchy.
