Since I mostly use Rmd, I also thought I wouldnt want to edit Rmd in Obsidian. But since I use vimwiki and have many links, and for knowledge management, Obsidian does seem to have some nice features.
It seems that I would have to continue with markdown only, and keep a seperate vimwiki only for coding.
Still, this is a quite uncomfortable solution. I thought the philosophy of Obsidian would be to store all notes in one place.
note title .rmd< , so [[note title]] should always point to note title.rmd. If Obsidian could understand that there are different extensions with linking, it would be nice but that is not what I am asking for. Simply an option in Obsidians config saying “treat .rmd just like .md” - and I would be operating my obsidian purely on .rmd files (not to say all the compiled pdf and other stuff but I am talking for the main note structures written in obsidian).
Thanks for the suggestion, “user-customizable extention for the notes files” is exactly what I am asking for here as FR (=Feature Request I suppose?)
I am not talking about any .Rmd specific compatibility for R code, and @dknight212 reflects the reasons why I use neovim in such cases.
It still is handy for developing code to see where my test versions derived from etc., all traceable via graphview. And if I would run the code, I could simply open it with vim, compile or run script from command line.
exactly. That’s why I want to handle .rmd files. Only. No txt, .tex, or log files I would need to be visible. But most of all just all .rmd files, while .md being „nonexistent“. This way I could 100% use vimwiki and obsidian on parallel paths with the same notes - coding and writing alike. And it was the reason why I got here.
So maybe there could be built a .Rmd specific syntax highlighting plugin (handling visibility of code blocks), later on? And I think it would certainly be a possibility, for the future ahead. To me, I do not see it as an issue (yet).
I am not really getting why the arguments supporting user defined extension as weak. I also believe Obsidian would get more users just from this simple practical option. From what I have read before from the others I found it quite convincing already but this probably is very subjective depending on the stance and I am sadly not a developer myself. If I could, I would like to help out.
How to raise the FR priority? Collect better arguments? I have really tried to convince …
With kind regards,
