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?

The
anchor hashfeature currently creates a span object<span id="20231110120736-ze6m41f"></span>. Some kind of program should be able to understand and find this block inside the note as reference. Can anyone help me understand how this can be useful after export, where do I use this, which program understands this syntax?The export mode
Anchor hashfor notebook Markdown exporting has some limitations.In the case i want to publish a particular note (with links to other notes) my approach is:
- From main notebook export the notebook you want to publish to .sy.zip file
- Create new (temporary) notebook
- import .sy.zip file to new temp notebook
- Export temp notebook export it to any selectable format (only markdown is currently selectable)
Other limitation of
Anchor hasexport and the only way I got it to work (performed testing by exporting to Obsidian):- currently only works for notebook and does not allow nested notes. In the process of exporting all notes must be unnested inside notebook for .md export to function.
- Currently does not support block reference. Can only link to main note. Tested by importing to obsidian (not a siyuan issue, but a markdown syntax limitation i presume)
Depending on the responses here I might add a feature request soon that involves the concept of user selectable export syntax. In which before execution of export using
anchor hasha user can type in the conversion syntax to apply. User is presented with input fields much like thesettings > Export > Anchor text wrapping symbolfields.Conversion syntax for siyuan > obsidian would be: [[test3.md/Note 2#^d8bf62|Note 2]] and conversion input fields could somehow be [[ .. / .. #^ .. | .. ]]

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
