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?

@adham Wow 😍 You are a master programmer indeed! I was still trying to figure out how to use Python to open all .md files in a directory, by copy/pasting code from Stackoverflow 😄 This solution is exactly what I meant.
I do believe it can be extended to include references to any arbitrary block, not just a document block. You did say that you don't want to mutate the linked documents, but I am just laying out the approach in case any other master programmers want to try it 😄. You wrote,
I don't know how to find out if the link is of a block or a document,
I see a few different possible checks for this
So one or both of the above checks can be used to determine if the block is of type 'document' or something else.
If the block is of type something else, then the way to link to it would be
<a name="block-id"></a>
siyuan://blocks/block-id
part of the link to hpath_value.md#block-id
This approach enables having links in the markdown files to any other markdown files or parts inside markdown files.
@adham Thank you once again for your example code 🙏
Here's the before and after comparison.
Before:
# Networking The most important things to know are the networking protocols. * [TCP](siyuan://blocks/20231110002225-jzlfmvr) * [UDP](siyuan://blocks/20231111114912-9gi1l0p) * [HTTP](siyuan://blocks/20231110002250-b9w413n) * [TLS](siyuan://blocks/20231111114933-oti4rz4) * [WebSockets](siyuan://blocks/20231111115839-xw23n4k) * [WebRTC](siyuan://blocks/20231111114916-nevtkga)
After:
# Networking The most important things to know are the networking protocols. * [TCP](/Networking/TCP.md) * [UDP](/Networking/UDP.md) * [HTTP](/Networking/HTTP.md) * [TLS](/Networking/TLS.md) * [WebSockets](/Networking/WebSockets.md) * [WebRTC](/Networking/WebRTC.md)
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)
I think the issue remains with anchor hash
for the reason that it is limited to notebook currently, meaning I cannot select rendering from Markdown to HTML from the notebook_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 using pandoc 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.
