I reviewed @satikusala’s videos on linking in TBX; thank you for the very helpful videos.The features are impressive, and I use them.
Is there any way of linking within same note? Let say I site a reference (ref 5) on the top of the document. Is there ay way of linking this to the reference 5 on the reference section on the bottom of the note.
I could not find H1, H2 H3 styles. Is there an efficient workaround for this?
Thank you
I don’t believe so with tinderbox native linking. You could use HTML bookmark/anchor tags, but this navigation would need to be through through in how you use your templates and what the purpose of the thinking is supposed to do.
I don’t know what you mean by this, in this context
@satikusala Thank you!
When I work in Obsidian or Notion, I could format the title of a note with
Thank you!
If you want sections of $Text to trigger headings, see Tabs, Quick Lists, Fonts and Export.
I don’t see it used much these days as Tinderbox style is generally to use more, smaller, notes such that the heading is normally a template using the note’s title ($Name) and setting the heading based on the (relative) outline depth.
But, by altering the font size of a paragraph, the template processing ^text^ will detect that size difference and set the paragraph as a heading (pre the linked article).
Tinderbox isn’t aiming for feature parity with Notion or Obsidian (which are very recent apps build on a different design intent) so they aren’t a useful indicator of how Tinderbox works. Recent note-taking apps tend to do a lot of feature copying/parity, I assume to make it easier to poach users to a different app.
HTH
@mwra Thank you! I have changing the font size and colour. But wondered whether was way of way of saving styles for resuse. I will check out Tabs, Quick Lists, Fonts and Export.
However, I just found a satisfactory workaround for my purposes. I can type in markdown and then preview using the markdown prototype. This way, I can easily create what I wanted <h1>, <h2>, etc. This allows easy transition from Obsidian to TBX.
Markdown is somewhat easier for me than HTML.
Thank you!
I do not know why part of my posts are in bold/large fonts. This is not intended.
Forum posts use Markdown so angle bracketed tags are treated as literal instructions. Actually it is the left angle bracket that needs consideration.
I’ve fixed your post (via admin access) using the following edits:
(I assume by <1> you actually meant <h1>)
Markdown is HTML! Markdown is simply an inline plain text alternate markup for HTML code. Be aware too that Markdown only has codes for a small sub-set of HTML and that there are many ‘flavours’ of Markdown, each with a different and conflicting feature set. The latter is partly why Tinderbox ships with 2 flavours built in and allows the user to set their own if needed.
None of that is a reason not to use Markdown, but to avoid surprises, it helps to understand the result is still just HTML. Many are confused because a recent generation noting tools show rendered HTML based on Markdown input text typed by the user. This leads to pointless confusion. Use whichever you like but do understand the differences as it helps when you hit issue that need debugging—here being a case in point where the Markdown you typed was parsed correctly but not as you wanted. 
Sounds like you’re asking, can you use “markdown” ,e.g., # or ## to style headings. The answer is yes. In fact, this is my primary writing environment. You need to set three attributes:
$Markuptext to false
$Markdown to true
$HTMLPreviewCommand to CommonMark, Markdown, to the path of whatever markdown commandline app you’ve installed.
I’ll be producing a video on this in the next week or two.
Remember, you can apply the markdown attributes on any note, they don’t need to be be only with the Markdown prototype.
@mwra wow! Thank you for the insights into the nuances (differences and similarities) text/markdown and HTML in their place in TBX. Thank you for correcting the syntax of my post on the forum!
@satikusala Thank you for the tips regarding writing in markdown in TBX! I look forward to your video!
