Welcome to the obsidian-canvas2document documentation!
This documentation is a work in progress and will be updated regularly. If you have any questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact me.
Canvase can easily look like this, with a very deep hierarchy:
When converting canvases into documents, you have to keep an eye on that the output is a document, i.e. something linear, while the canvas have a 2-dimensional structure.This means that the hierarchy in the Canvas cannot be adopted 1: 1 in the document.Even with the depth of the hierarchy, you have to keep in mind that a document cannot be nested infinitely deep.Markdown allows 6 levels in Obsidian, i.e. the marking with a maximum of 6 '#' characters.
Canvas2document tries to adopt the hierarchy as well as possible by reading the hierarchy in the canvas and transferring it into a TOC structure in the document.The hierarchy is converted into the 6 levels of the Markdown as well as possible.But in the document is the end of 6 levels.Thus, the outline looks like this for the corresponding document, with sub -chapters up to level 6, everything that is deeper is also placed on level 6.This means that the deeper elements are not lost, but only on a level and the parent-child relationship is preserved.
The conversion creates a Markdown file called <Canvas-Name_Itifier>fromCanvas.md.This is always next to the output canvas in the file system. Temporary files, such as the card nodes converted into files, are stored in a directory called <Canvas-Name_>canvas2doc-data.
In the second step, in addition to canvas and the file from the 1st step, another file is created that contains the actual document structure.This file has the name <Canvas-Name_Idetifier>fromCanvas__fromC2D.md.
