I exported a notebook to markdown (which is great), but I found that the files don't have links to other files like they were in Siyuan.
So, is there anyway to make markdown exports have links to other files?
Is it possible for markdown export to link to other files?

I was able to do it (for documents only, not blocks, as I don't know how to find out if the link is of a block or a document, and I don't want to mutate the linked documents anyway).
Here's the Python script:
import os import re import requests # Replace 'YOUR_API_ENDPOINT' with the actual Siyuan API endpoint SIYUAN_API_ENDPOINT = "http://localhost:6806" # Function to make a SQL query to Siyuan API def query_block_details(block_id): query = {"stmt": f"SELECT * FROM blocks WHERE id='{block_id}'"} response = requests.post(f"{SIYUAN_API_ENDPOINT}/api/query/sql", json=query) return response.json() # Function to process each markdown file def process_markdown_file(file_path): with open(file_path, "r", encoding="utf-8") as file: content = file.read() # Use regex to find instances of [Anchor text](siyuan://blocks/block-id) matches = re.findall(r"\[.*?\]\(siyuan://blocks/(.*?)\)", content) for block_id in matches: # Query Siyuan API to get block details result = query_block_details(block_id) # Assumes ref is of a document, not a block if result: hpath_value = result["data"][0].get("hpath") # Replace the siyuan://blocks/block-id with hpath_value.md new_link = f"({hpath_value}.md)" # Replace the old link in the content content = content.replace(f"(siyuan://blocks/{block_id})", new_link) # Write the updated content back to the file with open(file_path, "w", encoding="utf-8") as file: file.write(content) def process_markdown_directory(directory_path): for root, _, files in os.walk(directory_path): for file_name in files: if file_name.endswith(".md"): file_path = os.path.join(root, file_name) process_markdown_file(file_path) # Replace 'YOUR_MARKDOWN_DIRECTORY_PATH' with the actual path to your exported markdown files markdown_directory_path = "YOUR_MARKDOWN_DIRECTORY_PATH" # Process each markdown file in the specified path process_markdown_directory(markdown_directory_path) -
The reason why this function is placed at the notebook level is because some users no longer want to use SiYuan and need complete batch export, so support for this function is not considered at the document level.
I'm not sure if the span tag still exists after pandoc converts the HTML, but I'm sure anchor jumps can be used and you can write HTML tests in the browser.

I think the issue remains with
anchor hashfor the reason that it is limited to notebook currently, meaning I cannot select rendering from Markdown to HTML from thenotebook_ex > export > (selectable=Markdown/siyuan.sy.zip).How would i export my notes to HTML with
anchor hash? I think I would be limited to usingpandoc input.md -o output.html, I tried it with pandoc, which succesfully creates html with link to other note, but it just opens the other note without navigation to the<span>block, so no hash jump in browser (brave/firefox) to block.1 Reply - Visit all replies
