Shacrw request for formatting of page title and meta data

[GitMurf]

Hey Murf I had a feature request. basically, a way to paste highlights so that the article title is Page Title and highlights are pasted below. all the details in this thread https://twitter.com/shacrw_/status/1272262462088282115

Murf

shacrw I’m a little confused. You know there are two Roam highlighters (I know confusing) and this one you are showing in screenshot is not the one I created right?

Shacrw

Im aware of that. but it applies to both extensions. Right now the Title+URL are pasted in above format(This Is the Current Output image), what I want is in the next tweet.

Attaching the screenshot from 2nd tweet here. here, the article title is the page title and it's not a hyperlink. then all other content is in the bullet points in the body below. this is what I want. Is it clear now?

Murf

Ok yeah it makes sense. But obviously my extension can’t create a new page in Roam for you... until we get an API ofcourse ;)

So then are you saying you just want the highlights at “root” level instead of indenting under the Page Title / URL? And then have an attribute called URL:: and add the URL with that as the first bullet? Author isn’t something you can consistently parse out so I wouldn’t be able to do that from your screenshot.

Lastly for the URL:: atrribute do you just want the raw URL? Or do you want that in Page Title format?

Shacrw

Basically, what I want is the Page Title in the Title and URL format can be anything ( raw or Markdown). similarly, highlights could be under Source Highlights section . The main thing was that Page Title should have the website title (as I had described in the tweet below) and rest of the stuff in the body below (their formatting not a concern as Metadata layout is always changing). In order to jump from Title to main body, "Ctrl+Enter" needs to be triggered so would require some JS trigger b/w the Title and the URL I guess.

leave it for now because there's additional metadata in the body too, I am trying to combine metadata template with the Page Title+URL together, so that they can be pasted in one go and also I am constantly changing what fits my workflow so it's better that I first experiment with it myself first.

For now, I'll just use the highlighter extension for highlights. On my end, I am fiddling with a local version of the "copy as markdown" extension for trying out different stuff.
sorry for the late reply, had seen your comment on phone, then forgot to reply later when switched to the laptop.(should've used Quick Capture on phone to remind me of this😅).

btw, one thing I would suggest is offering a way to define own template like in the other Roam-highlighter, this is something which would be useful to all as it also saves time copying empty Metadata template and populating a New page with it ( a practice which is shown in many roam tutorials). So, that the URL, title and highlights get pasted in their respective fields and others remain empty which can then be filled up in the Roam page by the user. Like this:
