Create a devonthink URL with title but also title again before body/

1

Hi all

i am trying to adjust this URL i found online (i think by @RosemaryOrchard)

x-devonthink://createmarkdown?title=[[title]]&text=[[body]]

this works well, yet im trying to end up with the title not only in devonthink metadata but also as the first line of the .md file with a #

so something like this

# Title

BODY

ie:

x-devonthink://createmarkdown?title=[[title]]&text=[[title]][[body]]

You want the [[draft]] tag, which is the full text of the draft:

x-devonthink://createmarkdown?title=[[title]]&text=[[draft]]

Review this intro to using Drafts tags for more details.

is there a way to remove the "# " before the title like this replace[[title]], "# ", “”) ?

There could be titles that are non-firat level headings. The easiest way to deal with allvariations would be to use the inbuilt [[display_title]] template tag in place of [[title].

Just for sake of clarity, the final template for this action looks like this:

x-devonthink://createmarkdown?title=[[display_title]]&text=[[draft]]

This action will send the draft to DEVONthink in Markdown format, with the title displayed as the title (minus the heading hashtag), and the full text of the draft, including the title. It’s just what I needed!
