Group-based hierarchy in merged markdown files

Hi,

I’m trying to find a way to merge Markdown files saved under different subgroups of a top-level group in a way that preserves this hierarchy.

So, if there’s a subgroup A and a subgroup B with three markdown files each, the merged Markdown file’s structure should look like this:

#Top Group
##Subgroup A
###Markdown A1
###Markdown A2
###Markdown A3
##Subgroup B
###Markdown B1
###Markdown B2
###Markdown B3

Does anyone know, whether a script exists to accomplish this in a single step?

You could replicate them into a temporary group.
Set the View > Sort to Unsorted.
Rearrange the found documents with the top document being the first, etc.
Merge.

PS: Something is coming soon. I can’t say what. Just stay tuned. :slight_smile:

Thanks. Yeah, that’s what I’ve been doing.

The problem is that merging doesn’t retain the group hierarchy and the output looks like this:

#Markdown A1
#Markdown A2
#Markdown A3
#Markdown B1
#Markdown B2
#Markdown B3

Reflecting the subgroups in the merged output would be really useful to keep ideas from the merged markdown documents in context.

Looking forward to the announcement :wink:

Can you clarify what you mean by this? Thanks.
