Shorten My Links

A part of the Logseq13 family of plugins

This is the plugin for Logseq and it shorts your links :)

Well, it is better to say it shorts your references, not all links. References to Logseq pages of course. And it shorts only hierarchical references. And... only redundant hierarchical references: which duplicates the page name.

Why do you need it?

1) To reduce visual efforts while viewing the page.

Let's see the demo:

These references have the same prefix as the current page title, so it has been truncated.

And the more practical one:

These references have the same prefix as the embedded page title, so it has been truncated. Embedded page header truncated in comparison with current page title.

2) To have a very fast way of referencing sub pages

Just type-in /. to use one of two special /-commands:
