Sure thing:

the underlying directory structure I’m indexing against looks like:

obsidian-vault/
  - pages/
    - 220205 test in Group A.md
  - journals/
    - 220205 test in Group B.md

and then my DEVONthink directory structure:

commonplace (Database)/
  - pages (entire directory indexed)/
    - 220205 test in Group A.md
  - journals (entire directory indexed)/
    - 220205 test in Group B.md

Thanks for the bug report, the next release will fix this. Adding the extension to the transclusion should fix this in the meantime.

Great, thanks!

(After checking the forums since I came across the same problems. Obsidian Journaler here as well…)

Continuing the discussion here rather than starting a new thread as it is related.

Most of the tranclusions I do are quite simple, of images, PDFs and sometimes videos. I have a script/button to create a markdown transclusion link in the format ![Description](DEVONthink Item Link). Works great.

Lately I have been expanding my transclusion fun, and have been transcluding .html files and the above format doesn’t work, so I use the {{DEVONthink Item Link}} format.

I have noticed a strange situation whereby everything renders perfectly on DEVONthink 4.1 for Mac, but in DTTG, only the first {{transcluded file}} is shown, and the rest of the note stops there and will not display anything further beyond that point.

Context: I am doing the trancluding into my Daily Note. If I transclude say 2 .html files using the {{DEVONthink Item Link}} format, only the first one is shown and the note ends there, nothing further is displayed.

Wondering if this is a bug in DTTG 3? Or is there something in the HTML file being transcluded that is causing a conflict in the rendering (if that is even possible)?

I am using DTTG 3.8.13.

That isn’t a transclusion link. It’s a Markdown image link.

but in DTTG, only the first {{transcluded file}} is shown, and the rest of the note stops there and will not display anything further beyond that point.

Thanks for the report!
This is a bug and I have confirmed the behavior here.

Thanks as always Jim!

You’re welcome and good catch! This is why we need good beta testers as we can’t always find everything on our own, despite how rigorously we test.
