Parse non-Markdown files for wiki tags and backlinks as code comments?

Open Nezteb opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the solution you'd like

I really just want Obsidian but in my editor. This extension feels super close, but it only seems to work on Markdown files, whereas I want to use it for any type of text file.

As configuration, this could default to off and there could be settings like:

  • includeLanguages: Language identifiers whose comments will be parsed for wiki tags/links.
  • include: File glob patterns to include in parsing.
  • exclude: File glob patterns to exclude from parsing.

Describe alternatives you've considered

There aren't many great code mapping tools that support this kind of thing.

I'm a little worried about the performance of this for huge project directories and it might be better to tackle it if we migrated to a lsp structure, but I'm not opposed to someone submitting a pull request that allows you to add more filetypes in the manner you suggest if the defaults are consistent with the current default supported filetypes.

Thanks for the suggestion!
