Optional publishing under original filenames?

[tmladek]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'd like to publish some excerpts of my vault on my web-site. Right now, when I run the Publish command, I get a folder of markdown files named after their permanent ids and not the original hierarchical filenames, with no way to turn this behavior off.

This doesn't make for pretty or human-understandable URLs, and also makes use of Dendron's flat.hierarchy.approach only somewhat indirectly (through on-site navigation).

I know that this has its benefits, especially when notes are renamed, but I do not expect to rename my public notes often, so I would prefer nicer URLs instead.

Describe the solution you'd like A dendron.yml switch that turns this behavior off.

Describe alternatives you've considered I could have a script that renames all the files according to their original filenames afterwards, but this would break the links in the files.

Additional context Kevin mentioned on the Discord that "SEO-friendly URLs" (like Stack Overflow has) are planned later, which could also solve this issue.
