Link does not show the title

[arturo-salinas]

Hi there, according to the README file:
"links always show titles, regardless of the actual filename". It does not seem to work for me. Any idea?

With best regards,
Arturo

Hi Arturo, what does it show for you? Can you give us some examples? Do you use Markdown or Vimwiki syntax?

Hi Michal, maybe I do not understand this feature. If I had a note like: 20240101-2100.md and then I created a link [[20240101-2100]]. I was expected that neovim will show me the title of the note 20240101-2100.md; for instance: "My title". But it is just showing the filename of the note.

Ah, no, you need to use vim-zettel's features to insert links. For example, if by default you write [[ in the insert mode, a search window should open, where you can select a note that you want to insert a link for.

@michal-h21 Does it support links for headings in the file name? I would like to go to a specific topic in a file, instead of having a link for the file.

Eg: https://github.com/michal-h21/vim-zettel#using-vim-plug

@klarkc There is no function for it, but Vimwiki supports links to anchors, most notably sections. So something like [[filename#My section title|My section title]] in Vimwiki syntax, or [My Section title](filename.md#My section title) in Markdown should work. But you need to create such links manually.
