Anything else?

Hi, I’d like to discuss another configuration issue related to Sluglify markdown links. Here’s an example:

This is the content of This is Note2.md:

## This is h2

This is the content of Note1.md:

[[This is Note2#This is h2]]

When Sluglify markdown links is set to lower, the uploaded content of Note1.md becomes:

[This is Note2 > This is h2](this-is-note2.md#this-is-h2)

However, this result is incorrect because the file this-is-note2.md does not exist, while the anchor this-is-h2 correctly links to the This is h2 heading.

If Sluglify markdown links is set to disable, the uploaded content of Note1.md becomes:

[This is Note2 > This is h2](This%20is%20Note2.md#This%20is%20h2)

In this case, the link to the This is h2 heading no longer works. To ensure that anchors work correctly, they must be converted to lowercase and have special characters replaced with -.

I noticed that earlier versions of the plugin had a dedicated option called Sluglify anchor in markdown links. Is there any recommended way to handle this situation in the current version?

It is probably one of your regex that creates the removing of the first part of the link, as I don't get it with removing all regex.

[miaogaolin]

I removed my regex configuration, but the problem still exists. This is my configuration:

{
  "github": {
    "branch": "main",
    "automaticallyMergePR": true,
    "dryRun": {
      "enable": true,
      "folderName": "github-publisher-test"
    },
    "api": {
      "tiersForApi": "Github Free/Pro/Team (default)",
      "hostname": ""
    },
    "workflow": {
      "commitMessage": "[PUBLISHER] Merge",
      "name": ""
    },
    "verifiedRepo": true
  },
  "upload": {
    "behavior": "yaml",
    "defaultName": "content/posts",
    "rootFolder": "content",
    "yamlFolderKey": "dir",

      "enable": false,
      "key": "title"
    },
    "replaceTitle": [],
    "replacePath": [],
    "autoclean": {
      "includeAttachments": true,
      "enable": false,
      "excluded": []
    },
    "folderNote": {
      "enable": false,
      "rename": "index.md",
      "addTitle": {
        "enable": false,
        "key": "title"
      }
    },
    "metadataExtractorPath": ""
  },
  "conversion": {
    "hardbreak": false,
    "dataview": true,
    "censorText": [],
    "tags": {
      "inline": true,
      "exclude": [],
      "fields": []
    },
    "links": {
      "internal": false,
      "unshared": false,
      "wiki": true,
      "slugify": "lower",
      "unlink": false,
      "relativePath": true,
      "textPrefix": "/"
    }
  },
  "embed": {
    "attachments": true,
    "overrideAttachments": [],
    "keySendFile": [],
    "notes": false,
    "folder": "static/images",
    "convertEmbedToLinks": "keep",
    "charConvert": "->",
    "unHandledObsidianExt": [
      "avif"
    ],
    "sendSimpleLinks": true,
    "forcePush": true,
    "forcePushAttachments": [],
    "useObsidianFolder": false
  },
  "plugin": {
    "shareKey": "share",
    "excludedFolder": [],
    "copyLink": {
      "enable": false,
      "links": "",
      "removePart": [],
      "addCmd": false,
      "transform": {
        "toUri": true,
        "slugify": "lower",
        "applyRegex": []
      }
    },
    "setFrontmatterKey": "Set"
  }
}

If deleting the regex fixes the issue, could you share your configuration? I’d like to verify it on my side as well.

[Mara-Li]

Okay, found the problem.
Should be fixed. Now, the anchor is directly written as [<title>](#anchor) as they are valid markdown links

[miaogaolin]

Wow, that was solved so quickly—thank you! 😊
I prefer “an empty string” solution.
