Linked Mentions display multiple lines as one

v2: Troubleshooting

Hi all,
I’ll keep it short. Here are some screenshots describing the behavior.

Linked Mentions are rendered:

The page is actually:

Is this intended behavior? I do notice this in some places on the main site (For example)

Version: SilverBullet 2.1.6-0-g9521c760

Thanks! Loving SB. Currently migrating from Logseq MD :slight_smile:

Sorry to barge in with my off topic question, but sadly I don’t know the answer to your question regarding the Linked Mentions, I don’t really use that feature.

I noticed the weather part on your screenshot and I was wondering is that a widget which is fetching current weather conditions dynamically on your page, or is it a snapshot of the weather on page creation? what are you using to get the weather data on the page?

I too made a shell script which fetches the weather from OpebWeathermap API and displays it dynamically on my Welcome Dashboard page, but I’m currently looking for other alternatives:

I have it do both – a slash command to just get a snapshot and just calling the function will do it dynamically (with hourly updates). I pulled some of this from another thread here on the forum.

local ONE_HOUR = 60 * 60 * 1000

function getWeather(location)
  local timestamp = os.time() * 1000
  local weather = datastore.get({"weather", location})
  
  if not weather or not weather.timestamp or weather.timestamp < (timestamp - ONE_HOUR) then
    local wttrUrl = string.format("https://wttr.in/%s?format=%%t+%%C", location)
    local response = http.request(wttrUrl)
    if response.ok then
      local condition = response.body
      weather = {
        condition = condition,
        timestamp = timestamp,
      }
      datastore.set({"weather", location}, weather)
    end
    if not response.ok then
      return "HTTP request failed."
    end
  end
    
    if not weather then
      return "⚠️ No weather data available."
    end

  return string.format("%s", weather.condition)
end

slashCommand.define {
  name = "weather",
  run = function()
    editor.insertAtCursor(getWeather("Your Location Here"))
  end
}

When called from a template like my journal, just do: ${"$"}{getWeather("Your Location")}

Thanks a lot, I’ll will look into this tomorrow :wink:

[Edit]

Short update: I managed to integrate it on my Welcome Page, it works great!
