Displaying linked notes (nvALT's internal links)
nvALT has a way of keeping links between notes.
[[Lexical restructuring]]] for example connects back to a note
titled **Lexical restructuring*. Currently, Marked doesn't
understand these links. We are using these links as outlines in
nvALT. we called the system Semantic notes: for a reason explained
in here.
The idea is for Marked to be able to display the linked notes as
sub-elements of the link. For example, I am reading a book that has
a few chapters. I want to keep each of the chapters as separate
notes in nvALT. Outlining (the semantic notes) does a great job at
that. But the problem is if I want to print all the notes taken
from the whole book, i can not.
[[Lexical restructuring]]
[[functional restructuring]]
[[the infinitival subjects]]
I want to have the option for Marked to display notes under
[[Lexical restructuring]] whenever I preview
Structures.
If I want to print Structures notes, in the
current state, I only get the three lines. If Marked could
understand the links, I could have the option to print all the
notes under the three notes.
is it possible?

I'm not sure I understand. You want [[notes]] to actually include the
contents of the notes? Marked already has an include syntax
(<<[filename.md]) that will do this, but interpreting [[links]] as
include statements seems like a bad idea (because they already represent
links, not includes. Perhaps you could provide an example structure for
me?

yes, the include syntax can do what I want to do. I didn't know about the feature. I am trying it now; but doesn't seem to do anything. Doesn't it work for TXT extensions?
I think it is good idea to unify the internal liking feature and the include syntax. I don't see any problem. if you want to get my point. think of a book with three chapters. The title of the book is Embedding Syntax. The three chapters of the book are:
Chapter1- Defining Embadding
Chapter 2- Embedding and recursion
Chapter 3- Embedding in natural language syntax
Assume I am reading the book now. I am going to create separate notes for each of the chapters in nvALT. And, one additional note in the name of the title Embedding Syntax. this last note doesn't contain any content of its own. it rather contains just links to the three notes (chapters), in order.
What I want in Mark is to be able to display all the three chapters (1-3) by previewing Embedding Syntax.
As I understand you, if include syntax feature is available, I can use that one in Embedding Syntax.

We're talking about Marked 2, right?
