Allow entered URL note path to include file extension .md

[backyardaussie]

MKdocs and Zensical allow for an edit button on the page. When configured to use NoteDiscovery as the editor, the URL contains the full files name with extension .md

This PR checks if the URL entered contains the notes file extension .md, and if so removes the .md from URL

Thanks for the suggestion! I understand the use case with MKdocs/Zensical, however if possible I'd like the app to behave consistently, one single canonical URL to open notes (/folder/notename) so not to have special cases to handle on URLs, plus avoids edge cases of special naming that may arise. This keeps NoteDiscovery's URL structure clean.

Is there any way you can customize the URL call to strip the file extension it via some kind of plugin or similar?

On another note, the solution could be something like:

// In loadNoteFromURL()
let path = window.location.pathname;
if (path.endsWith('.md')) {
    path = path.slice(0, -3);
}

But again I'm a bit hesitant to have both paths there, but everything can be considered...

That's exactly what the PR does. It removes from the URL the .md if there. That's all it does. It doesn't change any function in the app at all

But instead of IF it's already implied by the removesuffix

Hmmm, ok, I will add this as a convenience but the removesuffix method is python code, I cannot use your PR here, I'll have to use an approach as depicted in my previous response. 😉

Let me close this and I will implement it together with the syntax highlight which is almost done/

OMG.. I just realised, it was 11pm when I did it so I was tired, that its a JS file and not python.. makes way more sense now with what you said
