Workarounds for Multiple Property Values

[kazdonkai]

multiple property values exist, please consider workarounds for embedding them individually.

Could you elaborate what you mean with multiple property values? Ideally, a property and how you imagine it should be rendered?

Thank you for the reply. To clarify, the issue is how to handle properties that contain multiple values (lists/arrays), such as:

examples:

• A
• B
• C

In this case, since list items don’t have unique keys, we need a way to specify them by their position or handle the list as a whole. Here are some proposed methods for embedding these values:

1. Index-based referencing (User Suggestion)
   To extract a specific item from a list, we could use a numeric index suffix.
   • [%examples-1] → Renders “A”
   • [%examples-2] → Renders “B”

2. Joined List (All items)
   To render the entire list as a single string, we could use a keyword like -all or -join.
   • [%examples-all] → Renders “A, B, C”
   • Ideally, we could specify a custom separator: [%examples-join:; ] → Renders “A; B; C”

3. Range or Slice
   To render a subset of the items.
   • [%examples-1:2] → Renders “A, B”

4. Count
   To display the number of items in the list rather than the values themselves.
   • [%examples-count] → Renders “3”
   Implementing these would allow users to have much more granular control over how array-type properties are displayed in their notes.

Ah okay, I understand now. I think this could be a cool idea. I'll see when I could check it out.

Currently, all lists/arrays are essentially rendered as a whole.
