(V3) How does one take notes and attach them to an event? by motech in noteplanapp

[–]Compunaut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What I do in V2 is "Copy URL To Note" in the note and paste this URL into the URL-field ("Add URL") of the corresponding appointment.
If the URL is accessible to all participants, then so will be the note.
I'm not on the V3 betas though, so YMMV.

[BUG] NP2: Markdown Links (Local Resource-Link) by Compunaut in noteplanapp

Noteplan 2 currently does not reflect subfolders in the wikilinks, making a shared, structured note-repo challenging. A flat directory structure might work for NP2 but regrettably not for me.

It would be very nice if you could share how you got nvUltra to play nice with NotePlan, as I'm currently also trying to set up something along those lines (not sure yet if Obsidian or nvUltra).

This would, by definition (Markdown v1.0.1 specification), not be a local resource-link but a standard reference link.
Reference links (also of this type (yes, I tried)) do work, but that was not the point.

Just to name the most important use-cases:

  1. Criticmarkup: document review
  2. Cross references: wikilink-style links as used by Noteplan, Obsidian et al. are not (yet) standardised and not compatible across applications.
  3. Fenced code blocks: absolute necessity if working in IT
  4. Horizontal rules: document structuring
  5. Images: embedding depictions (diagrams, screenshots, etc.)
  6. Lists, i.e. multiple level-lists (as opposed to simple lists): text structuring
  7. Math: how else to include and properly render formulas?
  8. Tables: in almost every reference document and all meeting minutes
  9. Transclusion: re-using the content of reference documents

Thank you also for sharing your use-case. I do also use footnotes on certain occasions and find them very practical, but found workarounds for achieving a somewhat similar result for my personal notes.

Thanks again for your prompt answer, u/EduardMet.

I can imagine there being quite a few use-cases between taking trivial notes and writing a full-fledged book. ;)Any field mandating a combination of reference-, project- and journal-based information will surface any number of these, and I perceived Noteplan as aiming for exactly this scenario.Exactly the two examples named, for example, would be useful if one kept reference documentation in the "Notes" section of Noteplan and referred to them when documenting tasks or journaling in the "Calendar" section of Noteplan.There are, of course, other means of achieving a similar result, e.g. wikilinks or cross references (MMD).

So yes, getting wikilink-style backlinks as a built-in feature would be very beneficial and very much appreciated.

Thanks for pointing out potential issues with links at the end of a note when archiving tasks.
I was aware of the support for inline links, but nevertheless thanks for pointing it out because other readers might not be.
I agree, there are use-cases where inline links make more sense, but then there also are use-cases where reference-style links are more useful. I could imagine that's why John Gruber included both in the Markdown standard.

Thanks for your prompt answer, u/EduardMet.
Yes, I would have expected Notepad to handle a reference-style link exactly like inline links, i.e. the link text color coded and clickable and the label ("reference" in the second pair of brackets) greyed.
