Generated Markdown is not markdown spec compatible

[niderhoff]

The generated markdown is not compatible with the markdownlint default settings (see here).

Maybe spacing after headings etc. should be configurable?

I know I can change my markdownlint settings, but it should really be the other way round I think and a lot of people might be using markdownlint anyway so we should give an option to make vscode journal compatible.

Solutions I could suggest:

A. make spacing after headings configurable B. make a setting ("fix markdown automatically") that triggers the "fix all all violations in documents" (markdownlint.fixAll) of markdownlint if markdownlint is installed

Hello

does your "journal.tpl-entry":

match the default one

"journal.tpl-entry":# ${weekday}, ${localDate}\n\n## Tasks\n\n## Notes\n\n

It seem your config lack the "\n\n" after ${localDate} and Tasks and note note.

You must edit the vscode settings.json directly.

I changed it manually at some point and added the \n\n, so I cannot answer this question anymore. I will close this issue until somebody else has this problem.

Hello,

I just installed vscode journal on a different PC and the same thing happened. Note that I have NOT set ANY options whatsoever. This is default behaviour after install.

Note that there is no "journal.tpl-entry" in my settings.

}

Interestingly enough, if I add said settings-entry, I get the following suggestion default:

Taken your example, the issue seems to be where the memo is placed (directly after the header in this case), correct?

I am looking into it (hopefully in the weekend, quite busy atm)

I have added the current prerelease to this project, can you please download it from here and test it?

To test, use the option "Install from VSIX..." in the Extension View of Visual Studio Code.
