The first two people who tried using the myLogseqBlog tool tried to do something that hadn't occurred to me, they used Markdown in their posts. Makes so much sense that at first I wondered why it hadn't rendered properly. Then I realized that Drummer blogs have to be told to expect Markdown, it doesn't default to that.
So I've now made the change. The question is will it work?
Let us see -- there should be a numbered list under this node.
Indiana
Idaho
Italy
This should be bold and this should be italic.
Here's a link to a story about the Transcontinental Railroad.
Let's try an image just for fun.
Oh yes I'd say the markdown experience is working quite nicely. 😄
Two changes
When myLogseqBlog uploads the file, it takes care of making it public, so the manual step specified in the docs is no longer needed.
The nodes we create are of type markdown, so that the blog processor knows to render the text through a Markdown processor.
How to update
Download the folder as you did when you installed the app.
Unzip the folder, copy mylogseqblog.js from the newly downloaded folder into the previous folder. This preserves your config.json file which will not change.
Continue building as before.
Yes, this is technical
Eventually, hopefully soon, this functionality will either be baked into an easy to use app and all this will happen in a very natural way.
I am a total beginner in LogSeq and an expert in Drummer, and this part would have been very hard for the LS people to do, so I went first.
After a period of using it, we should put our heads together based on the experience and figure out how to package this for maximum ease of use and power.
I'm just glad to have LogSeq users and Drummer users sharing functionality. This is a first step in what I hope will be a long collaboration! ❤️
