Novice challenge

[Charles Palmer]

Needing RoamResearch's tool but on storage I (or my company) controls, I am moving to TW5/Stroll. In migrating my notes from all over, I'm finding it hard to decide between text, markdown, and TW5 format. I have two challenges:

1. I much prefer to work in markdown, but if I choose that then the TW5 [[…]] links do not work.  

2. If I import something that is originally HTML, then it is still HTML in TW5/Stroll and, once again, the TW5 [[…]] links do not work.  Anne-Laure's excellent articles have been great help, but I must have missed a key point somewhere.

You can enable [[...]] links in Markdown as detailed here:

You need the markdown plug-in to be able to use markdown.

Glad you find Stroll helpful, Charles!

Ok, I am a novice... so when I simply created a toddler with the proper name specified at the link below, it succeeded but it did not appear in the "more" list where the other markdown configuration file appeared.  Hoping it worked, I then created a tiddly with markdown style and included a couple of [[ ]] references to riddlers that I knew existed.  Upon typing [[ I expected a pop up of the choices, but none appeared.  When I proceeded to type the  name of the existing tiddly [[5G]] and hit save.  The tiddly did not end up with a reference to the existing tiddly, but the markdown looked great. In addition, the directions say to use the official tiddlywiki markdown plugin.  I only found one markdown plugin in the list so that's what I installed.

The popup when you write [[ is due to the plugin edit-comptext. If you look at the readme for the plugin you will see that it needs the change from the normal editor type from text/vnd to comptext. Using markdown you change that and it will not work.

If you want the comptext plugin (which is what TiddlyBlink uses) to support autocompletion of [[title]] format links in markdown tiddlers:
Create a tiddler with the title
$:/config/EditorTypeMappings/text/x-markdown

Where the text of the tiddler is:
comptext

Are the [[...]] Links in the markdown tiddlers showing up as links when you save the tiddlers? If not, then the previous step was not performed correctly. I'm a bit tied up today but hopefully someone can take you through making these changes stepwise.

[Charles Palmer]

Great!  That fixed the pulldown ... but while the Markdown is formatted correctly after I click the check mark, the [[5G]] links do not change - they are still [[5G]] .

[Saq Imtiaz]

Open Advanced Search by clicking on the search icon next to the search field.

In the shadow tab, search for:

$:/config/markdown/renderWikiTextPragma

It should already exist.

Edit it so that its text is:

\rules only html image macrocallinline syslink transcludeinline wikilink filteredtranscludeblock macrocallblock transcludeblock prettylink

Hi,

thank you for this tip, it works for my markdown~

I’d like to ask for help the same on the comments (I am using the Comments plugin), is there any way it can also work for the comment edit?
