Exporting dataviews to plain markdown with templater

Hi again @holroy , and again thanks for your time!

I will study/test this latest explanation, but right now I have to leave in 20 minutes, and probably won’t have time until tomorrow evening to go back to this.

Meanwhile, I will try to explain myself better what I currently believe should be my main use of what I am learning in this thread.

First, I would prepare once and for all a standard template named something like alias-collector, which has in the frontmatter one line saying "wanted_tags: [“x”]

Then, EVERY time I need to collect all the aliases in all my notes that contain e.g. the tag #recipes in their frontmatter, I would:

  1. create a new empty note
  2. insert the alias-collector template into it
  3. change “x” in the wanted_tags key of the frontmatter to (in this case) “recipes”
  4. save the note
  5. click on the templater button in the sidebar, and select the templater we are talking about, which, I hope, would read “recipes” from the frontmatter of the note I called it into, and list all the aliases from the notes that have “recipes” among their tags
  6. start writing a new article, recipe, whatever I need to write… using the templater output as rough outline
