Since I don’t know how to target individual blocks, not pages - and the wiki says blocks are not dataview sources, I was thinking of targeting tasks as a workaround. Which means that three of the latest tasks with a certain tag could show up.
What I’m trying to do
This would allow me to build something like this in dataview:
Anytime I have an update on the matter, I would just leave a simple text block with an appropriate tag in any of the “daylies” and it would get picked up.
Well, it is kind of related. Codeblocks are blocks, but consisting of code. And since you can’t query codeblocks (i.e. TABLE dv.block WHERE contains(''') or something like that) then any other block is also not possible, i assume.
Not so true…
Let’s say you consider your text blocks as a value in a field, using the syntax of full inline-field: key:: value
Something like this:
mykey:: Nam sollicitudin, diam ut vulputate dictum, ipsum lectus tristique arcu, gravida luctus nisl neque at nisl. Nunc maximus nibh eget justo consectetur, ac euismod augue congue. Nam ac dignissim libero, sit amet gravida nunc. Phasellus eget eros non nulla tempus rhoncus quis eu justo. Nulla et ultrices erat. Suspendisse lacinia placerat ultricies.
All the text in the same line (without paragraph) works like a value in the field “mykey”. You can use multiples…
## my file
mykey:: Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
other text blocks
mykey:: Cras volutpat convallis orci nec tristique. Morbi finibus faucibus augue, at suscipit dui dapibus vitae. Maecenas bibendum tortor ut egestas maximus.
something else
mykey:: Nam sollicitudin, diam ut vulputate dictum, ipsum lectus tristique arcu, gravida luctus nisl neque at nisl.
