Is there a way of having commas in tags? Tried putting the tag in quote marks and escaping the comma but the terms either side of the comma always get separated out into separate tags. Thanks.

I swear this used to give me an image and an image caption inside a post:  But now I only get the image and no caption. I'm using the blog template. Has something changed or do I have my markdown wrong?

Looking for a way to show the nested tags structure in the nav bar. For example Folder structure being: [Tag A] [Tag B] [Tag C] [Tag D] I would want to have the same indentation and hierarchy in the nav bar, and ideally being apple to collapse and uncollapse them would be great. Is there a way to do this with the current templates?

Just wondering if there is any way to use metadata tags in markdown links? At the moment this markdown: ` Becomes, this HTML: <img src="/%7B%7Burl%7D%7D_images/picture.jpg" alt="caption"> The brackets just get encoded. Can this be avoided? Or should I just use HTML to start with?

Is there currently a way to replicate Jekyll style site-wide metadata? I am trying to use Blot for my teaching materials and there are several bits of information (deadlines for papers etc) that need to appear in several different entries; being able to define them in a single (yaml/json?) data file and include them in the entry as, for example {{site.metadata.deadline1}} would be really useful. Thanks!

I have scheduled two posts in advance, "Part 1" today and "Part 2" next week. At the bottom of Part 1 though, it shows "links to this post," including (necessarily, currently only) "Part 2," even though this link is broken because it won't be shared until next week. Is there a way to hide this?

I've picked up blot because I really like taking notes in Obsidian, and your site seemed like an amazing alternative to their publishing service, really enjoying it so far. I use quite a few javascript extensions in my notes, things like Mermaid.js and most recently jTab for Guitar Tablature. I was wondering if there was a way to incorporate these into my posts? I've converted a markdown (.md file) to HTML, and have the requisite javascript calls in the header of the file, but it seems no matter which way I try to get the calls to jTab working, it never does. Just viewing the .html file in browser everything renders as expected, but not in the post on blot. Is there just no support for Javascript in your HTML files? Or is there some other backend thing I need to do to get things working? I'd really like to not have to snip seperate pictures of everything I have rendered in my notes through JS stuff, as I'll probably end up having quite a bit as my post count grows.

How do you add a photo caption (the text just under the image)? Thanks.

Is there an easy way to create hanging indents (i.e., any text that runs past the margin would wrap with a four-space indentation)? I can do this with single lines using HTML paragraph rules, but this creates some spacing problems. This may be a bit of a niche concern, but would help me format poetry to work better on phone screens.

Hey, I believe I've seen some folks talking about using Obsidian and GitHub to power their Blot posts. However, I can't find the ability to search through questions in the new blot web interface. I feel like I'm just missing something. I am already using git for sync. When I added a GitHub repo as a remote, all of the content transferred to my repo, but now none of my new posts that I push get to my initial Blot git repo and the posts don't show up. If anyone has thoughts on setting up GitHub with Micro.blog, or a way to search the content of the questions, that would be much appreciated.

I joined Blot tonight and I'm trying to make things work, but it seems you can't nest folders? So if I have: pages/dogs/index.md pages/dogs/labrador.md pages/dogs/corgi.md pages/dogs/hound.md Then at the top, my menu now contains: Dogs, Labrador, Corgi, Hound. I just want the menu to contain Dogs, and then go to dogs/index.md, and then I'll link to the other pages separately. But it seems that nesting does nothing, that every single page you create will show up in the menu bar automatically?

Is there a way to link a pdf file located in the same folder of parent note? Because at the moment I can link only pdf in the root 'Files' folder

When directly posting an image to Blot using the YEAR-MONTH-DAY File Name format, the time is always set to 12:00am. I wish to upload several images over several posts but in a particular order. Is there a method of naming an image file to specify a time (Say, 12:01, 12:02, etc) in order to achieve this?

Google Search Console mentioned a lot of pages without user-selected canonical, and after researching a little, I learned that it's better for static sites to mention each original URL (entry or page) as a link rel canonical in the head. I think that's what is better, not sure. I managed to do this perfectly for entries, but using {{{absoluteURL}}} in the head, between {{#entry}} and {{/entry}}. But this doesn't work for the site homepage, or pages like archives, etc. Is there a Reference item that would work for every page of the site, and not just entries?

This might be quite basic but I can’t work it out. Please can you advise me how I can show the full entry of blog posts on the home page using the Magazine template, instead of the summaries? Ideally the pagination would still work the same using the 'posts per page' setting – I just want to display the full entries for the posts. I know I could use the blog template for this but I prefer the layout of the Magazine template apart from this one thing.

Is it possible to remove my website title from the browser tab, just on the homepage? I'd just like it to say "Home" without it being followed by the name of my website. Thanks!

I plan to use Blot to blog in Arabic – do you forsee any problems in using Arabic letters in the text files to be uploaded? I will develop a new template that supports and renders Arabic correctly. I have a good knowledge with HTML/CSS, and the documentations for theme development will help me.

Any idea to why that is happening? I've been away from my blot recently, but started using again and am noticing that 1) the reset button doesn't work, 2) the sync is not happening (or seems stuck) and 3) i'm not allowed to choose the folder on google drive anymore?

The second half of my photos on the photos template site doesn't load on the mobile version. Any suggestions for how to fix this?

How do I get a full export of my data? When I try to export I only get an "accounts.json" file and that's it. Cheers!
