You can star/unstar a search!

Really handy for summary/analysis-type searches, like for hashtags of things that may be reoccurring.

Additionally a “search” doesn’t stop once you click through files or through the folders, it’s still available in its own tab.

You can embed not just an entire document, but also part of it, like headers! The same mechanism as with linking, but I can’t figure out how the autocompletion is supposed to be used.

In any case, works the same way, page title and then # for headers and ^ for blocks, for which it will autogenerate a reference in the target file.

To trigger this you have to have the page name already filled in, it suggests stuff, but once you click on something or use tab it generates a link with it immediately. Best way I can figure out is to let it do this, and then replace the syntax around, the autocompletion gets triggered once you get it in a syntax like below: ^66eab0

![[Your page title#

Link

I can always replace return None with just return in #python. (Third way is omit a return completely.)

In python, when doing regex on a multiline string:

• re.MULTILINE makes ^ and $ match on each line, not just begin/end of entire string.
• re.DOTALL makes . match newline (by default it doesn’t).

Obsidian can do advanced search: Obsidian search

• “X OR y -z”
• js-flavour regex
• Special search operators for files/paths, to search on lines/blocks/sections, tasks, tags

tag: #Tag is better than searching the tag by itself, as the latter might find tags inside code listings etc etc etc

I changed the templates I use to be more repetitive but hopefully with less chances for a note meant to be private to get published on my website.

Three types of notes I want to be able to create easily:

• Diensttagebuch (public)
• Jourrnal (public)
• Personal (private)

I don’t want the Personal ones to end up left in any of the folders parsed by obyde even by chance, and if they do I don’t want them converted, and if they do - shown.

Now I just create a note, it gets put into /, I give it a name, and then run one of the three templates. The templates take care of moving it to the correct folder and prefic

Now I have three identical templates, they move the note to the correct place, prefix the file with the datetime if needed, and add boilerplate frontmatter.

Public diensttagebuch note (<C-t>), puts it into /garden/it/ and prefixes with datetime:

<% tp.file.move("garden/it/"+tp.date.now("YYMMDD-HHmm")+" "+tp.file.title) %>---
title: "<% tp.file.title %>"
tags:
  - "zc"
  - "zc/it"
  - "<% tp.file.cursor() %>"
fulldate: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZZ") %>
date: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
layout: post
hidden: false
draft: false
---

Public journal note (<C-S-t>) is pretty much identical:

<% tp.file.move("garden/rl/"+tp.date.now("YYMMDD-HHmm")+" "+tp.file.title) %>---
title: "<% tp.file.title %>"
tags:
  - "zc"
  - "zc/rl"
  - "<% tp.file.cursor() %>"
fulldate: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SSZZ") %>
date: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>
layout: post
hidden: false
draft: false
---

Notes not meant to be published (<C-t>) get put into /Personal , but also:

• Have no date in frontmatter, obyde should loudly error out if it sees them (which it should never)
• If they magically end up published, I put literally all “don’t pulbish me” parameters in the header.

Linking to blocks and headers in #obsidian

Is helpfully describeed in the autocomplete for [[:

• [[^to internal blocks (you have to type the title by yourself, like this)
• [[# for headers (Manually creating block references).
  • Can work even when linking from other pages!

EDIT 2021-12-07: You can do this from external pages too! Just autocompletion is not intuitive. See 211207-2015 Obsidian embedding parts of other document. ¹

Manually creating block references

When linking internally it autogenerates reference names, it seems. ^74ce58

Can I do this? ^myreference

Yes I can! Autocompletion even suggests/uses my reference!

Can _I_ do this? ^myreference

[Yes I can!](#^myreference)  Autocompletion even suggests/uses my reference!

When looking at a commit, clicking on “View the entire source for this file” symbol opens that file, and then one can navigate to folders etc as usual, they’ll all be from the current branch.

Hugo generates anchors from headers automatically ¹. Tested it - yes, except they’re lowercased and spaces get converted to - (which makes sense).

As a refresher, in HTML it’s

<h2 id="anchor">..</h2>
<a name="anchor"></a>

<a href="#anchor">anchor link </a>

One additional way to check the type hints in #python is mypy, installable as python package.

mypy -p package_name checks the typing in the package, and found some potential errors in corner cases I didn’t know about in one of the projects I’m working on!

Finds wrong typing, missing/wrong return values, that kind of stuff.

It doesn’t like what: str or Path typing output, I guess only Union[str, Path] - is there a reason for it?

In any case I like it more than Pycharm’s way of outputting things and will be using it along with black and flake8 in the future (along with typing itself).
