I was playing with different ways to peruse my notes this morning and I noticed the formats of link styles and such vary. I was thinking that since I already have a markdown template for pandoc content, I could actually do something like this on any given note to get them more uniform, and then add some nice colors via the bat command:
pandoc -t markdown_strict --reference-links --shift-heading-level-by=1
--template=resources/template.markdown | bat -l md
The file name is missing in that, it’s just an example, here’s a more concrete example, building on the other note from this morning:
pandoc -t markdown_strict --reference-links \
--shift-heading-level-by=1 \
--template=../resources/template.markdown \
$(rg -l 'free will') | bat -l md
The template was applied to the entire content, so it didn’t extract any titles and put them in successive documents. But then I was thinking I could add parallel to the picture:
rg -l 'free will' --sort=path | parallel pandoc \
--template=../resources/template.markdown \
--shift-heading-level-by=1 -t markdown_strict \
--reference-links {} \; echo | bat -l md
The extra echo was to account for documents that (typically) dont end with a newline. The sort by path slows it down, but I tend to favor the order.
