    the problem is that our markdown parser wouldn't be able to parse it because its looking for yaml in the first line

    so dendron has a markdown pod that lets you import and publish individual markdown notes

    it strips the frontmatter when publishing and converts dendron specific markdown (eg. note references) into regular markdown

    that might be a better solution if you want to use github wiki as the frontend for your notes

    ah okay, yeah sounds like I'll need to use something like that then

    only caveat is you'll end up with two repositories --> one for dendron, and one for the exported github-wiki artifacts

    also note that markdown bulk export still needs to be implemented https://dendron.so/notes/13c4a608-0a32-4c62-9c7e-2b7f9f2d18bf.html

    Ideally my notes would be rendered on the nice dendron style pages

    but then that needs hosting

    well, currently we recommend people use github pages for public notes

    hosting is free

    something i was thinking was putting up a recipe to publish dendron to s3 and amplify with http auth

    strange that github pages haven''t made private pages yet..

    it would be super simple and hosting is maybe 1cent/month, especially if you're the only one using it

    10/23/2020, 4:40 PM
    then that would be perfect 😃

    thanks! github wiki works, but it doesn't look anywhere near as nice - every note starts like this

    Can we not use the Dendron forks of Markdown Links and the other extensions Dendron comes with? Simply because the original repos of those extensions are kept up to date.

    you should be able to use markdown links alongside dendron markdown links. let me know if that's not the case

    I hate to ask a question that's already been asked, but I can't find the answer either on the help page or here, though I thought I saw it asked yesterday... so, apologies!!!! How to trigger autocomplete of existing files when creating links? I tried using the vscode intellisense shortcut but it does not list existing files as options. Thanks in advance!

    Hmmm I'm not at my laptop but I'm quite sure it does for me. I add [[ ]] and start typing inside. Then Ctrl+space suggests notes for completion

    > Hmmm I'm not at my laptop but I'm quite sure it does for me. I add [[ ]] and start typing inside. Then Ctrl+space suggests notes for completion @User This is what I want, but for some reason it's not working for me. Existing files are showing up in the list of possible options.

    > anyone have a rec for a good docx -> markdown converter? I know pandoc can do it one by one (though I've been having some pandoc issues lately). typora also does a good job, but I'd like to batch convert a bunch of docs to markdown to make into notes. here's the script in case anyone needs it: https://forum.obsidian.md/t/simple-powershell-for-now-script-to-convert-microsoft-word-files-into-markdown-with-pandoc/7121
