add folgezettel support #64

Closed bangedorrunt closed 4 years ago

bangedorrunt commented 4 years ago

i'm wondering if the plugin could support folgezettel links which is indicated whith tripple bracket [[[link]]]]?

i also include some reference about this type of link:

Links are handled by Vimwiki, in Markdown mode it supports [[link|title]], or title, which vim-zettel uses by default. It seems that [[[link]]] is Neuron's extension to Markdown syntax. I don't really understand a need for special folgezettel syntax, I think normal links are perfectly fine for that.

Note that you can have child notes already, using templates. For example if you have the following template:

#%title 

Backlink: %backlink
----
%footer

Then a new note created from the existing note using the z key will link to the parent note in %backlink and insert some shared information from the footer (everything after ---- divider). You can place things like publication references here, for example.

thank you @michal-h21, you're right that normal link will work just fine. as i'm following this guide about zettel. i found out later that folgezettel is a great way to "branch off" note sequence as illustrated in the following (look at 1a, 1b) image when it comes to searching, a folgezettel syntax (if supported) will stand out and help us to know better about it's relationship with parent zettel rather than just normal back link (aka note sequence 0 1 2 3 ..). i'm aware that this is just cosmetic feature but i hope it will be helpful in the long term.
