I have no problem with making own BlockID´s and reference them. But when I try to reference an ID at the end of a bullet list, it seems to reference all the above text as the block, but if I reference to them heading at the top of the list - no problem.
Why and how do I correct that?
I am by no mens a tech geek, so please keep it low profile
I thougth I did, but I am not native english speaking - i´ll try. Below I only want to tag the list, but when I do this I will get the list and the text above.
Note the difference in placement of the two block IDs above. One placed immediately following a list will reference the whole list. An ID at the end of the item itself will reference just the item.
It does not do either. I will be seeing it all, from the BlockID to the top of the note. I have tried giving just the first phrase an ID and link to that, and at the end of the hole list and link to that and last making a BlockID on a new line and link to that - it all gives the same “Picture” form th Block ID to the top of the note -Something is wrong or I am doing it incorrectly.
Ok, I got it to work, but I had to remove the single line block “idOranges” (that’s just the way I tested it - it’s possible it might work with leaving it there) and I had to manually type
![[Blocks#^idFruit]].
So the issue is that the block doesn’t appear in the list as a selectable item when you type
[[Name-of-file-that-includes-the-block#^
but if you manually type it in, you will get the results.
Raul, I get that issue as well sometimes. I think the block reference requires another line of text under it to work (or perhaps even a blank line. I could be wrong, but worth trying.
Ok. I spent the better half of a day on the weekend trying to get it work consistently and I finally got it, but not in a list. I have 4 lines each separated by an empty line, with each line having a block reference (and an additional line under the last item) and that finally worked. I think it’s kind of buggy.
Not sure about @Raul’s issue as the demo text provided works for me (see above). But @Lise, the blocks do not like capital letters. See above! Specifying which block you’re referencing (e.g., when embedding) is case-insensitive, but the block ID itself should be lowercase.
A little related, but reference to list item with blockquote doesn’t work as well.
Example:
The list:
- Apple
- Orange ^thisrefwork
- > "They are actually the same fruit" - Me (2021) ^myquote
![[#^thisrefwork]] => get displayed "orange"
![[#^myquote]] => get displayed "Unable to find section #^myquote in ..."
