Problem finding the correct heading

[DeutscheGabanna]

Hi, consider this snippet:

# My title
Something

# Same-level title
> [!callout]
> Testing a callout.

- [[the actual mention]]

Once influx finds this mention, it mistakenly assumes that # My title is the heading for the mention. In reality, # Same-level title is the correct heading for the mention.

Why does it happen? Could a callout in-between mess up the logic?

Real life example:

It's not a mistake, in the sense that Influx uses the first header it finds in the note in all cases. I agree that using the nearest and highest header would be more natural, but that requires additional conditional evaluation logic. Flagging it as a potential enhancement.

I second this enhancement request--it would be very useful for me.

I've only been using Influx for a few hours and I already love it. Great work!

Workaround: Preceded the header with a bullet.

In the above example, if you write out

- # Same-level title

That should yield the expected behavior.

Influx uses the first header it finds in the note in all cases.

Pre-1.0 obsidian release I would agree with you, because without inline titles the heading hierarchy looked like this:

# Title
## Actual section
Text
## Another section
Text

But now, post-1.0 release, with inline titles, h1 no longer needs to be the entire note's title. This is now a valid approach too:

# Actual section
Text
# Another section
Text

In general, in many markdown implementations there should be only one h1 in file which is interpreted as a title in file https://github.com/updownpress/markdown-lint/blob/master/rules/025-single-h1.md

As many people will probably use multiple h1 in the notes, this might be a non default settings to set

Yes, this is not as straight-forward as it may seem. Multiple mentions in the same document also illustrate why:

# My title
- [[a note]] first mention

# Same-level title
- [[a note]] second mention

As I see it, either "My title" should be used as the representing header for the page, or the notion that a header can represent a note must be abandoned. In the last case, headers may be considered part of the "context hierarchy" for mentions, and simply part of the text.
