    Why would they come up with their own way of doing this? Isn't Markdown "standard" fractured enough already (https://xkcd.com/927/) ?

    haha, this xkcd is exactly what came to my mind when I'm reading the issue 1287 from the message of ScriptAutomate ๐Ÿ˜„

    Oh man, I didn't know about this. I walked through a path for exporting Dendron into the format necessary for DevOps Wiki, but didn't know about the mermaid syntax differences

    if you submit a feature request, we can look into reformatting this on export

    Was searching to see if there are scripts to export Dendron to Hugo compatible markdown. Found out that the distance between Dendron and Hugo is 1988km by car, 25h drive. https://pk.2markers.com/363114-369224 I am tempted to see if I can write an exporter for my needs in less than 25h ๐Ÿ˜ (not really comfortable with JavaScript structure though, so it would be something in Python, might try writing a pod after that).

    heh, we have a bunch of users that do hugo. the beauty of plaintext is that you don't need to use our pod interface as long as you can read markdown. @User already did something similar, tagging in case he has more to share on โ˜๏ธ

    TIL I should be paying more attention to the GitHub Changelog. Some examples: - You can now follow organizations - A new dashboard feed tab is in public beta and viewable now. I like it better than the current feed. - Other things https://github.blog/changelog/

    TIL you can write equations in Markdown even if your md editor doesn't support Latex:
    Copy code
    md
    ![pi](http://latex.codecogs.com/png.latex?\frac{1}{\pi}=\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{9801}\sum_{k=0}^\infty\frac{(4k)!(1103%2B26390k)}{(k!)^4396^{4k}})

    how is the live editing experience? does it cause a flicker when editing equations?
  • a

    03/25/2022, 4:00 PM
    Yes, as you edit, the equation disappears and reappears causing the content below to bounce up and down. Annoying :/

    I have been trying to learn about all Dendron has to offer by trying to incrementally improve a part of my setup or workflow. Today I was able to create my first templates and schemas. I used a blog post by Dendron to help me out. Also, I played around with VSCode's nesting feature (brought in the 1.67 update) to try nesting different parts of the hierarchies I created. The good news is it worked ๐ŸŽ‰ , the unfortunate news is that I couldn't create nests inside other nests ๐Ÿฅฒ . I've attached links to some of the articles which helped me out. https://blog.dendron.so/notes/P1DL2uXHpKUCa7hLiFbFA/ https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_67#_explorer-file-nesting

    haaaaah

    05/21/2022, 7:02 PM
    Interesting usecase. Also tried nesting for something, but it didn't work, so I forgot what it was.. Oh yeah, might have been backups of notes. I use syncthing, so conflicts are named in a pattern. Wanted to easily diff them to see the changes. Have been postponing implementing a git workflow for backup, as a complement to the sync. Right now the sync works as an adhoc but a bit brittle backup system.
