obsidian-calendar-plugin VS longform

I really like the calendar plugin - it makes it easy to write daily notes, https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin.

Daily Journaling using Periodic Notes and Calendar: These enable me to maintain my daily journaling habit that I had in Evernote and add a visual view using the Canvas plug-in and powerful templates for habit tracking.

Ever since I discovered periodic notes, I wanted to make yearly, quarterly, and monthly plans. But the calendar plugin only provided quick access to daily and weekly notes.

Hello. It's kinda not efficient to manually type in the deadlines of my tasks in my kanban-board to the Calendar plugin by liamcain. Some of my deadlines were postponed so I had to change the deadline dates in my kanban-board thus I have to manually type in the new dates in my calendar.

To facilitate the creation of journal/daily pages, I suggest editing the “Daily Notes” settings. For example, use the following date format: YYYY/MM-MMMM/YYYY-MM-DD, and put all the notes in a single folder (like JOURNAL). You may also want to apply a specific template. It is also worth creating a separate note like “tags” where you will specify all the different tags to use for your daily notes (ideally start all the tags with -, like #-😊 so that once you type #- you will get a dropdown with all the tags). Finally, you can quickly find different dates with the Calendar plugin.

I'm referring to this plugin with the title "Calendar": https://github.com/liamcain/obsidian-calendar-plugin

Otherwise, even if it is a bit convoluted, the longform plugin can be used to compile a collection of different notes in a single "manuscript". Just create a longform project and have one card per file, then you compile them.

The longform plugin is all about taking individual notes for chapters/snippets/etc in a single project and putting them together.

Depending on your usecase you could try longform plugin to compile and export multiple files as pdf.

In addition, if you'd like to split your long Markdown file into separate files (one for each chapter, or whatever structure your academic writing has) you could look into the Longform plugin. It can merge multiple files (and do a lot of other stuff, like removing links etc), and then you could add the Pandoc conversion as a final step in the Longform workflow. https://github.com/kevboh/longform

It might not be exactly what you're looking for, but it is free and it's all local. If you decide to give it a go, try a few of the community made plugins (I use Longform, Advanced Tables, Templater and Tracker) to see just how cool and easy it is to customise. Installing directly from the community plugins browser isn't the most secure, but you can manually install whatever you want just by downloading directly from GitHub. It's a lot easier than it sounds!

The longform plugin is pretty nice, turning Obsidian into a Scrivener-esque tool for writing individual bits that can be drag-rearranged in the project pane view, with the added benefit of being able to use Obsidian's easy cross-linkings.

The Longform plugin will get at both things, admittedly in relatively kludgy way. It treats specific folder-bound sets of notes as scenes in a draft, and those scenes can be manually dragged to reorder them, then a compile action can stitch them all together into a new note. The default compile steps strip links and such, but you can make a custom sequence that just retains the stitching together while retaining all markdown formatting.
