After configuring pandoc i've managed to get this https://imgur.com/a/QP0z4xh
All my files, names aren't particularly consistent but they are numbered and the dates are all there. No folders or anything. Here's a sample zip that shows the way my files are formatted. https://drive.google.com/file/d/195fmBEM8X8fTEfKFW9rlMS-kY5eCFU9V/view?usp=sharing. If i make a new field for dates, will it be compatible with the base system or will i have to fiddle with making fields for every tiddler i make going forward to keep it consistent?
