WikiLink Embedding - ![[..]]

[srid]

Support for https://help.obsidian.md/How+to/Embed+files

• Working prototype for .md and image files (Wiki-link embedding (of notes, images, etc.) #68)
• Allow specifying note embed layout via Heist .tpl (Wikilink embedding, user customizable HTML template #75)
• Allow note embedding in other AST nodes, like <table> #88
• Allow inline embedding images #98
• Other file types
  • video
  • audio
  • pdf
    • Support embedding PDF using regular Markdown syntax #350
  • Everything else? As code block. For eg., foo.hs gets syntax highlighted as haskell.
    • Properties? (file line nums, note snippet, ...)

I propose adding an item to the checklist above:

• Allow embedding a specific subset block of a file.

For instance, the ## Some Section H2 heading and all text until next section. Obsidian's syntax is basically: ![[filename#Some Section]]

Obsidian supports this and it would be great to have parity between Obsidian editing and Emanote's rendered results.

Embedding notes may create loops:

some_note.md:

blah

![[other_note]]

blah

other_note.md:

aaa

![[some_note]]

bbb

I've tried it with the live preview and couldn't open any of these notes in browser. Didn't have time to check memory/CPU usage etc., but perhaps the loops should be detected anyway?

@vcavallo Yes, we need to address it in a fundamental manner first: #105

@kukimik Could you open a new issue?

[srid]

I think we should also support source code embedding. For eg., ![[foo.hs]] should include that as syntax highlighted code block. See also srid/neuron#613 (not sure how that can be adopted for wiki links)

@kukimik Could you open a new issue?

With the current version of emanote I can display the page. It looks like this:

It no longer loops indefinitely. (Or maybe it never did? I upgraded my hardware in the meantime; maybe I was just lacking resources - which however would mean the resource consumption was excessive.)

So I can open an issue, but I don't treat the current behavior as a bug/problem.

I am working on adding code files embedding support. I decided to hijack this post to ask if anyone knows a good way to solve this challenge I am facing:

The embed template itself. I realized I am not familiar with the way code blocks get rendered in HTML. I have inspected the source code and apparently they get transformed into <code> tags. The content of the code block then gets highlighted by using <span> of a specific class attribute so it gets properly highlighted (via highlight.js). The challenge then, is to take the code file content and embed it correctly in a <code> tag.

Does anyone more familiar or knowledgeable can see a way to do this?

Edit: I think I am on the right track. I figured I could just redundantly call hljs.highlighAll();.

I know this issue has not seen activity in quite some time but I'd like to add another feature request: I'd like to be able to embed a file FILE without FILE's heading being generated. This would be very handy for having FILE contain a lot of \newcommand{…} definitions; I could then simply include it using ![[FILE|noheading]] (or whatever syntax is used) whenever I want to write math without cluttering the output. Note that simply not setting a title within FILE does not work because HTML output then has FILE as title.

Note that doing ![[FILE]] works in terms of math \newcommand's being parsed in the importing file (but an empty block with a is generated). Example:

Test.md

# Test

![[FILE]]

$$
\XX
$$

FILE.md

$$
\newcommand{\XX}{\mathcal{X}}
$$

Output when opening Test in browser:
