nonNoteFile.anchorType

  • type: enum
  • default: block
  • options: line, block, prompt

Description

In non-note files, Copy Note Link can use both block anchors and line numbers.

Line numbers link to a specific line number in the file, but they are less reliable as your links will become stale as the file changes and lines move around.

Block anchors are more reliable because they will always refer to the marked line, but Dendron has to modify the file to insert a block anchor which looks like ^this. You are free to move the anchor anywhere in the file or to put comment markers like // or # or anything else before them.

You can also set it to prompt. When set to prompt, Dendron will instead prompt which type of anchor to use each time.

Example

commands:
    copyNoteLink:
        nonNoteFile:
          anchorType: line
