<p>Recently, I migrated my <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://wiki.owenyoung.com">Wiki</a> to <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://www.getzola.org/">Zola</a>. Zola does not support relative internal links, it only support <code>@/xxx.md</code> internal link format. This is a bit painful, I posted a <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://zola.discourse.group/t/custom-content-dir-or-support-absolute-internal-link/1242/2">feature request</a> to Zola. But for now, I will use my own edited version of Zola, this change will allow me to use <code>/content/xxx.md</code> internal link format.</p>

I like this feature, but when I tried <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://obsidian.md/">Obsidian</a> seconds time, I still can’t use to it, and it’s also a bit slow compared to VSCode. <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/foambubble/foam">Foam</a> can only auto generate markdown reference link, but that feature not a one-time task, it sometimes makes mistakes, like add multiple <code>"</code> at the end of reference zone. So, I decided to fork foam extension, and turn off the most features that I don’t need, only keep creating notes from template, and convert wiki links to markdown links.</p> <p><img src="https://old.owenyoung.com/en/blog/wiki-links-to-markdown-links-for-vscode/./foam-lite.gif" alt="Wiki Links to Markdown Links" /></p> <p>I’m so lucky, Foam’s code structure is very clean, so I just changed a little bit to achieve what I wanted. Here is my final result: <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://github.com/theowenyoung/foam">Foam</a>, if you need this, I also publish it on <a rel="noopener nofollow noreferrer" target="_blank" href="https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=theowenyoung.foam-lite-vscode">VSCode marketplace</a>.</p>
