[FR] Changing default link style to markdown + :PROPERTIES: on new file generation

[wakatara]

So far, kinda loving what you're doing with md-roam here, but having a few issues setting this up to move completely off of org mode documents to markdown (thank you so much for writing this btw!).

I should be clear, my goal here is to completely convert everything over to markdown and use that as the default rather than org-mode.

1. When I use the default insert node command C-c n i the link that is inserted in my markdown document is (unfortunately) org-mode style. How does one override that?

2. When I generate a new document with say org-roam-dailies-find-today the document inserts my markdown yaml well enough (yay!) but still inserts a :PROPERTIES: drawer with this ID at the top of the doc rather than in my yaml. How do I override that?

Anyhow thanks for the time you've spent on this. I really want to have markdown (and perhaps taskpaper) as my standard rather than org-mode docs.

Thank you for your encouraging comment.

• For 1, could you make sure that you have md-roam-mode on? It's a global minor mode; it should turn on an advice function for org-roam-node-insert, which should be effective when you are in org-roam-directory. If it is not working for you, you might not be in org-roam-directory for the markdown file in which you call it. It should insert a link with the wikilink format [[title of the inserted node]] like the image below.

  

• For 2, could you ensure to have the latest commit, please? I've fixed the same issue for org-roam-node-find and -capture in one of the most recent commit.
  I don't use Dailies, so I don't test it and don't intend it to extend md-roam for it. This is a main reason why I don't share the package on MELPA -- I don't intend to and don't have capacity in supporting the features of Org-roam that I don't use -- dailies is one of them. I was hoping Org-roam is designed to reuse the same function as much as possible across different insert-node features -- if dailies do not go through the same method, I'd suggest you to log a feature request upstream.

  For md-roam, if you turn on the minor-mode, (add-hook 'org-roam-capture-preface-hook #'md-roam-capture-preface) should do the trick. If you don't see it, then I suspect your version is not the current.

Took in the latest commit and used the hook and things seem to be working fone now.

thanks!

@wakatara sorry if I was not clear about the hook but you shouldn’t have to do it yourself — it’s part of md-roam
