Random Fixes

Updating old roam42 code to utilize new Roam API's wherever I can

[[February 20th, 2021]]

New Jump fix:

Meta-j d (delete current block) now is updated to use Roam new api for deletion. I use this a lot, and found in some cases the old technique failed (like when there was :hiccup in the block)

Trying to fix the Roam42 menu Icons from getting shuffled through the top bar. While I don't have a perfect solution, I have it at least tamed.

[[February 10th, 2021]]

SmartBlocks

A new feature that allows you to create dynamic workflows in Roam. It builds on the concept of inserting text templates, but adds commands that allow you interact with your graph, querying your TODOS, pulling random data, date manipulation and much more. Read about it here: [[roam42/SmartBlocks]]

Customizing Web View

Add custom CSS to web view using the #42WebViewCSS tag, followed by an indented code block marked as CSS. Only one instance of this tag is supported. If the database includes many instances of this tag, the first one returned by the database will be used.

Example use of tag:

The HTML in Web View is very simple. Use the Format Converter in Roam42 to see the structure of the HTML output by Web View

Meta-j 5 Apply Heading 1

Meta-j 6 Apply Heading 2

[[November 7th, 2020]]

QOL

Live preview

Can be activated with CTRL+Hover even when not "always enabled"

Requires holding CTRL while moving mouse pointer into a link or block reference, doesn't activate when mouse is already hovering over the link (live preview uses movement to see where you are in the page)

Now working on iPad with mouse support

Daily Note Popup

Deep nav now working in Daily Notes Popup

Focus moves from document to Daily Notes Popup so that you can edit in the popup. For example: (1) In main document press shortcut Alt-Shift+, (2) press g if deep nave is on to activate deep nav, or press Ctrl-Enter to edit first block (3) when done, press Alt-Shift-, to toggle off Daily Notes popup

Undocumented ALT-Y hack for those using deep nav

Format Converter/Web View

New:

Exports :hiccup :hr blocks as markdown --- and properly displays in HTML. However, it is a basic line conversion, no support for additional styling

YouTube videos will be embedded in web view (if the /youtube command is used in Roam)

They are centered in the web view page

May not format the same as in Roam

Major internal updates

Steadily we see more and more roam/js extensions become available (awesomeness!!!).
