I wish Dendron would use a more conventional way for hierarchy. I don't like its choice of dots for that.

- kevinslin 4y agothat's fair. the dot hierarchy has been a polarizing topic with folks falling on both sides of it. the reason we went with it is because: - it allows a file to be both a note and a parent of notes - it makes hierarchy an explicit part of note creation - it greatly simplified operations like refactoring (regex over filename, no need to create scaffolding with empty folders or removing folders if they no longer had children) - it makes it easy to work with using cli tools More discussion on this here: - https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558/#why-hierarchies https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e... - https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e80b558.html#will-dendron-ever-support-folders https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/683740e3-70ce-4a47-a1f4-1f140e...
