Rod's 'Drop-In' Markdown Notebook

[moonmilk]

Hi Rod! Thanks for your work on this macro, it really fills in a feature I was looking for.

Is it possible to create a link to other notebook entries? I tried

Code: Select all

[link](1.Welcome@Lib:Notebook)

which of course didn't work (I didn't really expect it too). I also tried

Code: Select all

[link](render@Lib:Notebook "libName=1.Welcome;libLocation=Lib:Notebook")

but that didn't work either. I'm brand new to macros in Maptool, so I apologize if the answer is somewhat obvious!

I don't know which version you are using, but the latest one (2.4.3) supports linking to itself, yes!

it would be like this

Code: Select all

[Setup Page](note "1. Getting Started@Notes")

were "Notes" after the "@" is the name of the notebook, and "1. Getting Started" is the title of the page

It can be done in the old version (1.22.2) too, probably, but its more complicated and I kinda abandoned that version, the new one uses the same syntax though so you should be fine, here's the link

I've got a quick question about linking. Is it possible to create a macro that directly opens to a notebook entry?

Figured it out. Found an example of what I was looking for on 2.5.6

Here's the bit of code I used to make it work for future people out there!

Code: Select all

[h:value=getLibProperty("Value","Lib:Welcome")]
[h:description=json.get(value,"1. Welcome")]


[h,if(isGM()==1):share=0;share=1]

[macro("Content@Lib:Notebook"):"key=1. Welcome;description="+encode(description)+";tokenName=Lib:Welcome;share="+share]

Cheers and Happy New Year everyone!

So I was looking for a way to write notes down in my campaign, and I stumbles across this lib.

I tried it out but have a question: Is this formatting correctly?

When I click on the inventory note, it strings all the text together, but when I edit it, it recalled the formatting that I originally typed.

Am I doing something wrong here? Thx!

I believe (so not 100%) that text needs to be formatted with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markdown. I thought he had a link in there somewhere maybe in help with some detail on it.

Exactly, so to insert a line break, either separate the two lines with an extra line, or add two spaces in the end of the line, like this:

Code: Select all

Example a: line 1

Line 2

Example b: line 1 (notice the two spaces --->)  
line 2

Example A is, in HTML, equivalent to a paragraph (<p>) while Example B is a line break (<br>) but 90% of the time the result is similar

Thanks for the replies, everyone!
I have to admit, I am not one for reading instructions, so I am sure it was said somewhere...
