Also supports shiki transformers:

What you write

# <<shiki-transform>> 
# use this keyword to tell it to transform code
a=32
if a:

Equation

Inline equation here 1+q2(1−q)+q6(1−q)(1−q2)+⋯=∏j=0∞1(1−q5j+2)(1−q5j+3),for ∣q∣<1.1 + \frac{q^2}{(1-q)}+\frac{q^6}{(1-q)(1-q^2)}+\cdots = \prod_{j=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{(1-q^{5j+2})(1-q^{5j+3})}, \quad\quad \text{for }\lvert q\rvert<1. for testing

Block equation below.

ΔE00∗=(ΔL′kLSL)2+(ΔC′kCSC)2+(ΔH′kHSH)2+RTΔC′kCSCΔH′kHSH\Delta E^*_{00} = \sqrt{ \Big(\frac{\Delta L'}{k_LS_L}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{\Delta C'}{k_CS_C}\Big)^2 + \Big(\frac{\Delta H'}{k_HS_H}\Big)^2 + R_T \frac{\Delta C'}{k_CS_C} \frac{\Delta H'}{k_HS_H} }

New Features and Changelog

Jul 6, 2024: Simple tables with search and sortShow information for the linked content. Unlike notion where your simple tables are basically just a form of displaying data, you can now search and sort your simple tables in webtrotion. Just have column headers and use <<🗂️>> in the first cell (modifiable in constants-configShow information for the linked content).


Jul 4, 2024: Breaking change → the shortcode for HTML rendering in an iframe (if you want to use external libraries like d3.js has changed to <!DOCTYPE html> <!-- iframe --> and for injecting it directly into the body is now <!DOCTYPE html> <!-- inject -->. This helps you have code blocks that are in html and start with <!DOCTYPE html> without rendering them.

Jun 30, 2024: View transitions are back in and use ⌘K or ^K to search
Jun 28, 2024: Floating table of contents and shiki transforms for code blocks (updated to astro 4.11), and added view transitions
Jun 14, 2024: Pin posts to top
Jun 15, 2024: Add tag descriptions
Dec 12, 2023: Add support for preview popovers
Dec 2, 2023: Added interlinked content section
Dec 4, 2023: Add support for recent posts on homepage

Nov 29, 2023: Caching

Linked Blocks and Pages

This links to heading Column List

But we can also have links that are not on direct children of the page, right?

This inside toggle links to heading Column List

This links to a headingShow information for the linked content in another webpage

This links to a heading in same page but an internal block (not main page, nested in)

This links to block IkaShow information for the linked content (Now supported)

This links to a block in another same site pageShow information for the linked content

Linked page with URL

This google maps will go out of margin if we set width to 600 and height to 450. So, embeds are usually a better idea!

Loom

Loom/any video embed using Notion’s option is not supported at the moment

But it works if you use their embed URL

Direct Uploaded Video

This is a direct uploaded video caption!

Known stuff that is not supported/has bugs

  1. Multiple injections on a single page if not handled carefully, have clashes can have a problem!
  2. Resizing for embedded html is a problem, for things like d3.js, but does it matter? How does distil handle it?
  3. If you use npm run dev without npm run build, some things may not be download leading to:
  4. CSS generation is also now associated with build. Run the build command once before running dev please.
  1. Table column colors are not supported through API
  2. Block mentions are not supported through API
  3. Comments are not supported
  4. Word breaks are an issue on smaller screen if there is no viable place to break them. Currently I am using word-wrap:normal;
  5. I do not plan to add support for inline databases but I’d love if anyone wants to contribute?
  6. Child Pages are too much work to support and I do not have a personal usecase for it!
  7. Column widths and embed widths are not exposed in API
  8. Backlinks are not exposed in API so I do not know how to do Links to This Note
  9. Right now, if I click on a tag from “unlisted” URL and that tag is only attached to that post, no tag page is generated, and I think that isn’t a bad thing!
  10. If you post a parent block with child sync block to another workspace, it will not show up in UI but does show up in API causing warnings/errors
  11. Heading ids are generated based off text. If you have two headings with same names, that is an issue. I can change it to use block id, but then they are illegible to anyone using an href link for them to share.
