Trying to decide what type of linking I would like to appear in my Markdown documents. I am looking for feedback about the pros and cons of each method. Below is what I have found.
Thanks
In a Markdown Document
they both appear in the markdown presentation document the same way
they both have the same options in the contextual menu
they both appear in the link inspector
Why you would want to use wiki-link?
Easier and more natural when writing
new files get created with a template
Why you would want to use Regular Item links
even if change the name it will still link
wiki-links not working in DTTG this is a big one which I hope will soon be remedied
I was wondering about this myself and found the necessary answer via this mini thread. As a follow up to the original question, when using item link, as the original post noted, the links still work if you change the name of the linked item. The name of the linked item in the rendered view of the markdown file will however no longer match the changed name of the linked item. You need to change this manually, which is easy given that the link still works. Is there however anyway to automate this so that the name of the linked item automatically updates in the markdown file?
