The “denote” links in markdown exported files do not work #334

Hi!

Basically, I have this problem, I have searched for a solution, but I haven't found anything relevant.

Imagine you have a markdown file with title My first file and signature 0a with the link 

[0b  My second file](denote:20240426T141754)

After exporting the first file with pandoc, I got this in the html 

<a href="denote:20240426T141754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0b My second file</a>

of course, this link doesn't work. What I'm expecting is to have something like 

<a href="20240426T141754==0b--my-second-file.html">0b My second file</a>

My solution is to use #327 to change every link to classic markdown everywhere.

However, I don't know if this has any side effects on the backlink system or any denote's features.

Best.

Hi!

Hello and thank you for taking the time to report this!

Basically, I have this problem, I have searched for a solution, but I haven't found anything relevant.

I think this and the other issue you brought up make it clear that we need a denote-markdown-extras.el to provide a few more tools for people who use Denote with Markdown.

Imagine you have a markdown file with title My first file and signature 0a with the link 

[0b  My second file](denote:20240426T141754)

After exporting the first file with pandoc, I got this in the html 

<a href="denote:20240426T141754" target="_blank" rel="noopener">0b My second file</a>

of course, this link doesn't work. What I'm expecting is to have something like

The reason here is that Pandoc does not understand 'denote:' links, which is to be expected.

<a href="20240426T141754==0b--my-second-file.html">0b My second file</a>

My solution is to use #327 to change every link to classic markdown everywhere.

Yes, converting the links would work for the exported file.

However, I don't know if this has any side effects on the backlink system or any denote's features.

I have not tested #327 yet---will do it as soon as possible.

I recently made some unrelated changes to the backlinking mechanism and think either it will work or it is easy to make it work.

Thanks. I'm willing to help test the new features for markdown files whenever you want.

Best.
