How can we help you?

I am trying to solve issue #41 using render-markdown.nvim. Currently, it supports concealing wikilinks. But by default [[id]] becomes 󰌹 id. I want to replace id with title.

I found a way to get title by using cli zk list $(find . -type f -name "id*.md") --format=json --quiet | jq '.[0].title' but that doesn't seem to be the best way because lsp already provides diagnostics for wikilink titles

Is there way to get note's title knowing it's id by using lsp?

In which context are you wanting to "get" the note's title?
Within your config, within neovim, from zk cli?

The notes title is exposed in some way as mentioned in that same issue: #41 (comment)

But I'm guessing that's not working for you / not in the right direction.

But yeah, unfortunately I'm not completely understanding what you're needing, where you need it and how it should be implemented for render-markdown.nvim (I'm not familiar with this plugin).

I wanted to conceal wikilinks, and neovim doesn't conceal them. I found render-markdown.nvim plugin but it only conceals wikilinks with custom title, which is not the case for me. So I decided to make a fork that adds support of getting title from language server.

For this, I was looking how to get note's title by knowing note's id within neovim. I knew neovim gets diagnostics from zk lsp but I didn't know what function I should use.

I haven't found what I was looking for but I managed to get diagnostics with vim.diagnostic.get(). Then within markdown handler of render-markdown.nvim I compared node's position with provided diagnostics, and then displayed the message.

# index

- [[rigo|first note]]
- [second note](zzl2)
- [[330x]]

Oh wow. Nice work. It would be awesome if you could make a tiny post about this in the "share" section of the discussions.

No doubt others would love to use this!

@kirasok Does it not suffice to just use the notes title as the link title? Which is default behaviour.

Or use a template for it.

Yes, setting link-format to markdown or [[{{metadata.id}}|{{title}}]] works for new links. But I used [[{filename}]] since creating notebook and it would take too much time to convert all the links in all notes I have.
