Fallback on regular Markdown heading for the Zettel's title

[mickael-menu]

I'm not a fan of the YAML frontmatter in my markdown files and was wondering if there's a way to have a fallback on parsing the title from the first heading in the document (or to simplify, the text after # on the first line)? The use case is when autocompleting a link [[, I get [filename](filename) since I disabled the frontmatter.

Here's how neuron handles it:

You can explicitly specify a title using the title metadata; otherwise, Neuron will infer it from the Markdown heading or Zettel ID.

Thank you for all the effort you're putting in this plugin, it's particularly useful!

Second that one. It would be great to have the option to use the markdown header as the zettel title (in addition to the YAML frontmatter).

Hi Machal

Great. That works.

I had started to work on a similar solution. Your regex kung-fu is better than mine ;-)

I can confirm that this will take the first of the following

• YAML header title:
• Title comment %title
• Markdown Header with #

Seems to work with both my Zettlr files and vim-Zettel files without breaking the old format.

As far as I understand this needs to be changes in vimwike html export as well.

I'll close my branch.

Best T

Ha could be that I missed it, I'm not using the HTML export myself and focused on the [[ completion use case.

This functionality should work now, thanks to the PR, Vim-zettel can read title from the first header.
