    TIL that GitHub will now render Mermaid diagrams, like Dendron, right in your Markdown files! https://github.blog/2022-02-14-include-diagrams-markdown-files-mermaid/

    When it comes to 
    @hikchoi#8934
    (Mark's) workflow, there is a video showing his workflow as he did a previous Greenhouse Talk (which we are rebooting these events!) 🙂 - YouTube:

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOmUqvbUleo▾

    (buffer notes are talked about around 7:33, but whole video showed his workflow) - This may pair well with the "A Day in Dendron" video that Kevin posted above, too - Wiki notes/info on Mark's talk, Cerebrarium: https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/WUy5xtqQt3MwxcPG/

    Today I learned that you can create a clickable area (or MORE THAN one) of an image and have it link anywhere. - Useful for RevealJS presentations, etc - Using the 
    usemap
    parameter of ``tags and 
    <map>
    tags Example ### Put this into your Reveal.JS preso!
    Copy code
    html
<img src="https://c.pxhere.com/photos/70/93/egg_hammer_threaten_violence_fear_intimidate_hit_beat-767438.jpg!d" usemap="#map" height="550"/>

<map name="map">
    <area shape="circle" coords="330,350,50" alt="egg" href=".\assets\pdfs\timeline2.pdf" target="_blank">
    <area shape="circle" coords="430,250,50" alt="mallet" href=".\assets\pdfs\timeline3.pdf" target="_blank">
</map>

    Cool. Can these areas have visible annotations atop the image?
  • s
    I'm unsure! So far, I just use the image itself (ex: the egg and the mallet in the sample image above).
  • s
    Doesn't look like there is a 
    border
    etc. parameter for the 
    <map>
    or 
    <area>
    tags... https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_area.asp

    TIL about the Sourcegraph extension for VS Code. I feel like it has interesting potential. Like, imagine searching public Dendron vaults directly from your VS Code? 😮 https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=sourcegraph.sourcegraph

    ooooo i use in the browser but i didnt know about the extension
  • b
    sweeeeeet

    TIL a LOT about VS Code Snippets! *1. You can set a default value for a variable by using a colon (
    :
    ). *     Example: - The 
    DUE:
    property in the below snippet defaults to the current current month, date, hour but can be edited fairly quick
    Copy code
    "TODO": {
   "prefix": "stodo",
   "body": [
    "- [ ] ${1:Enter Task}",
    "- **CAPTURED:**        ${CURRENT_YEAR}-${CURRENT_MONTH}-${CURRENT_DATE}T${CURRENT_HOUR}:${CURRENT_MINUTE}:${CURRENT_SECOND}-08:00",
    "- **DUE:**             ${CURRENT_YEAR}-${2:${CURRENT_MONTH}}-${3:${CURRENT_DATE}}T${4:${CURRENT_HOUR}}:${5:${CURRENT_MINUTE}}:00-08:00",
    "- **PRIORITY:**        ${6|HIGH,MEDIUM,LOW|}",
    "- **STATUS:**          ${7|TODO,WAITING,IN PROGRESS,DONE|}",
    "- **NOTES:**           ",
    "    - $0",
    ],
    "description": "Capture new TODO"
}
    2. You can set dropdown values for a variable using a pipe (
    |
    ).     Example:
    Copy code
    "Context Switch": {
   "prefix": "scontext",
   "body": [
    "- **TYPE:**          ${1|COMMS,SUPPORT,RESEARCH,MEETING,DEVELOPMENT,TESTING,VALIDATION,CI/CD,PROJECT MGMT,CONSULTING,DOCUMENTATION,ADMINISTRATION,TRAINING,BREAK|}",
    "- **PROJECT:**       ${2|PROJ1,PROJ2|}",
    "- **TOOLS:**         ${3|N/A,PYTHON,AZURE,POWER APPS,POWER AUTOMATE,POWER BI,SHAREPOINT,DENDRON|}",
    "- **START:**         ${CURRENT_YEAR}-${CURRENT_MONTH}-${CURRENT_DATE}T${CURRENT_HOUR}:{$CURRENT_MINUTE}:${CURRENT_SECOND}-08:00",
    "- **END:**           ",
    "- **DURATION:**      ",
    "- **NOTES:**         ",
    "    - $0",
    "---"
    ],
    "description": "Capture new context switch"
}

    Today I learned that you can add a single "size designator" character to control image size for images uploaded to StackOverflow. Example: - The 
    m
    added after each image uploaded indicates "medium" size Reference: https://meta.stackoverflow.com/questions/253403/how-to-reduce-image-size-on-stack-overflow

    TIL that Microsoft has their own markdown syntax for its Microsoft Docs site, with support of admonition, 2-span column layout. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/contribute/markdown-reference Further, they also have their own way to include lines of code in the Markdown document https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/contribute/code-in-docs I'm not sure till the end of my life, whether I can see who will be the winner of Markdown's standards 😄
  • b
    I always used 2 div’s in a parent div for 2column layout but then the markdown syntax usually gets ignored because of the html scope. Might as well right HTML documentation straight xD
  • b
    On azure DevOps their mermaid diagram syntax uses colons instead of back ticks it’s infuriating for my teams doc wiki
  • s
    I've now added the way they do admonitions to our open feature request discussion for admonitions support: https://github.com/dendronhq/dendron/issues/1287
