Hi there First of all, thanks for an awesome programme. I’ve been looking for something like Joplin for ages and it’s perfect for my needs. I note that it’s possible to create hyperlinks that can be used to link text in one document with another document. But it seems to require that I know the ID…

And you can also link to a heading or an anchor to take you to a specific part of your "target" note. [image] Jumping to a section of a note you linked Support @dasym , you can only link to headers or to anchor explicitly set with an A tag. For example, if you create a he…

This really needs to be enhanced from a UX perspective. There is a lot of potential here. The actual functionality is there, but the usability is not. For example: rather than having to right click a note -> copy link -> go back to note being edited -> paste link, you should be able to (for instanc…

This has been suggested before, and it would certainly be a great feature. Especially for referencing a section in a note. The logic from Goto Anything might be used to get started. @laurent can we add this to the GSOC ideas?

Yes it’s true it would be a useful feature and I think a good candidate for GSoC. If someone can create a pull request with a spec, we can merge.

I’ll try to find the other topics about this. @jis2507 do you want to write a requirements document (specs) for this? I can proofread and then we can add it to GSoC.

Happy to write a spec for this, but not sure on the format / process for doing this? @tessus is there a standard Joplin way of doing this, or is there a particular format needed for GSoC? Also happy for somebody else to do it that knows the process better, and I can provide input with my own ideas.

I don’t think there’s a special format but it could simply be a Markdown file with these sections: Abstract: in 2-3 lines, what the project is about, why it’s needed. Specifications: as much details as possible about the feature. I think your post above is pretty much it. External links: a …

[image] jis2507: GSoC #2020 I added the tags in the OP, this the very first topic in this regard. It can be added to the projects list. I still have to come up with a proper structure how such proposal shell look like. How about Current functionality Futur functionality why it should be …

[image] PackElend: Current functionality Futur functionality why it should be done how shall it be done (more technical than 2.) Hmm, Laurent's structure is better. The abstract, which is at the beginning already explains why it is needed. The specifications is basically the requirements d…

Sorry was too quick reading it, I’m in

This now exists as a plugin. It doesn't use the special syntax, but that's because Joplin tries to conform to standard markdown.
