Questions

I'd like to add a copyright notice to the bottom of the sidebar in the Magazine theme. By "bottom" I mean the bottom of the viewport (regardless of screen - mobile, tablet, desktop).

While I was poking around in the source code, I also saw this reference to a "top" button that should appear in the sidebar if the user scrolls the main content div below the height of the viewbox:

<a id="top_button" style="position:absolute;bottom:0;width:3rem;height:3rem;line-height:3rem;" class="mb3 white bg-black-20 lh-title br-100 f3 db tc bn no-underline" href="#top">↑</a>

As is, I could never trigger the button's appearance. But when I changed the "bottom:" value to anything but "0," the button did appear — and did function — as expected. I'd also be interested in moving this down to the bottom of the viewport.

Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Hello, I couldn't find anything in my short trips through documentation and questions that mentioned embedding images with wikilinks. I've been experimenting a little in case it does exist, but I figure I should ask here: is this possible or at least a potential future feature? It would be a huge plus with the synergy between Blot and Obsidian.

Hi! I just signed up for Commento, added my URL (https://russbonchu.site) and checked off the box here in the services page, but it's not showing up. i also put their code snippet at the end of my post. Does it take some time?

Has anyone gotten the CSS correct to float and image left or right using the magazine template? I have made a few attempts but either I break something else or not displayed correct. Basically want to wrap text around an image on a post

Despite removing the file and ensuring it's gone from the Google Drive folder, I can't seem to get rid of a duplicate blog post. I've tried the "Fix your folder" option as well.

Getting an error when I try to switch from Dropbox to Google Drive.

":( Error"

Image files render directly in blot, but not so videos (eg. mp4). It the ideal solution to host videos on a 3rd party site and then embed them?

Just curious as to how you insert an image (stand alone or in a. blog post) that renders as a wide image as in David's example in the video? Can this be done in markdown or html so the image extends beyond the edge of the text column ? Thanks in advance!

They seem to be working but wanted to confirm support for WebP images?

It looks like an image tag, ![](), generates <p>...<img ...>...</p>. I assume this is a fixed thing, or is there a way to generate <figure><img ...><figcaption>...</figcaption></figure> ?

As the title says, I've looked at some of the templates but they have different number of files and I didn't see anything about this in the documentation (but I'm sure that I've missed something).

I'm new to writing templates and I want to create a menu like this

item1 - item2 - item3 - item4

My problem is that only want the '-' between the items. With the help of 'last' I can write something like this

{{#menu}}
    <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a> - 
    {{#last}}
        <a href="{{url}}" title="{{label}}">{{label}}</a>
    {{/last}}
{{/menu}} 

Which of course results in two 'item4'. What I haven't figured out is how to match 'this items isn't the last item'.

Can anyone tell me how to do this

Can you give an example of how to add a javascript library to a site?

Are diagrams supported? If not is there a way to get them to work? Here is an example.

Is there a way to flag a section of markdown to not be processed by blot? For example, let's I wanted to include a section of pure HTML inside the markdown, so it might look like this:

regular markdown
<div class="do-not-process">
    Line
</div>
more regular markdown

As it is currently, blot will process the following and spit out:

<p>regular markdown</p>
<div class="do-not-process">
    <p>Line</p>
</div>
<p>more regular markdown</p>

The extra <p> inside the div is causing problems for the mermaid diagram tool. It looks for a div with the class of mermaid, and inside that div does not expect any <p> tags. When it encounters them, it throws a syntax error.

A workaround right now is uploading pages as HTML files but that isn't a desired workflow. Thanks!

How the tool works:

navigate to a website, click the bookmarklet, enter your caption and recieve a text-file.

For example, let's say you visit example.com and press the bookmarklet. You'll recieve a text file called Example.txt containing the following:

[Example](http://example.com)

Your caption here

How to install this bookmarklet

Make a new bookmark in your browser (right-click on the bookmarks bar and click Add Page...)

• For the "Name" you might put "Save link".
• Copy the code block below, paste this into the "URL" or "Location" of the new bookmark.

javascript:(function () {
  var caption = window.prompt("Would you like to add a caption?");
  if (caption === null) return;
  var textToSave = `[${document.title}](${window.location.href})\n\n${caption}`;
  var textToSaveAsBlob = new Blob([textToSave], { type: "text/plain" });
  var textToSaveAsURL = window.URL.createObjectURL(textToSaveAsBlob);
  var fileNameToSaveAs = document.title + ".txt";

  var downloadLink = document.createElement("a");
  downloadLink.download = fileNameToSaveAs;
  downloadLink.innerHTML = "Download File";
  downloadLink.href = textToSaveAsURL;
  downloadLink.onclick = (e) => document.body.removeChild(e.target);
  downloadLink.style.display = "none";
  document.body.appendChild(downloadLink);
  downloadLink.click();
})();

I noticed on Blot's own about page the following text - "Dropbox’s traffic limits do not apply because Blot hosts the contents of your folder on its own server."

Guessing the same applies when syncing with Google Drive and that there are no traffic limits to worry about?

Is there a way to not include posts with a set tag in the RSS feed?

I've modified the blog template to suit my needs, which includes changes to the entries.html template so that teasers are shown in the "just_titles" branch (should rename it soon, I guess).

Now I've noticed that {{teaser}} is taken from my entry metadata as desired but that markdown formatting in it isn't parsed. Is there a way to achieve that?

Is there a way to combine two themes to have two types of posts? I’m running a blog (based on an older blog template) but I’d also like to show photos (or photo albums) akin to the Portfolio template. Is there a straightforward way to accomplish this?
