problems with custom icons for headings

[wiljam144]

so I have decided to change the default icons for headings with this snippet in my config

["core.norg.concealer"] = {
                config = {
                    icons = {
                        heading = {
                            enabled = true,
                        
                            level_1 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "◉",
                            },
                            level_2 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "○",
                            },
                            level_3 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "●",
                            },
                            level_4 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "○",
                            },
                        },
                    },
                },
            },

but it results in this:

any ideas on how to fix this?

Hey! The reason is because of the way the concealer even works, and that is placement. Icons always get placed at the very beginning of the node they belong to. To add an offset add the corresponding number of spaces beforehand, so for level_2 make the icon " ○" (added one space beforehand), for level_3 prepend two spaces before the icon etc.

Ultimately it should look like this:

["core.norg.concealer"] = {
                config = {
                    icons = {
                        heading = {
                            enabled = true,
                        
                            level_1 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "◉",
                            },
                            level_2 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = " ○",
                            },
                            level_3 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "  ●",
                            },
                            level_4 = {
                                enabled = true,
                                icon = "   ○",
                            },
                        },
                    },
                },
            },

Try it out! It should work :)

Thanks for a speedy reply, i think you should add the warning about this into the wiki in counceler seciton

[vhyrro]

The entire wiki needs an overhaul ngl :P

I'll deal with that rn

[vhyrro]

All right, seems we will need a lil more work than just fixing the concealer section. I'll try getting that ldoc integration up and running and I'll see whether we can auto-update the wiki in the form of github actions :)
