Control over smart blocks

[orech]

Hi folks!

I just started using smart connections in Obsidian. My goal is to build a knowledge base with paper and blog posts reviews, i.e. I am reading a paper and then writing a review. One note is a review, that might contain the description of technical approach, data, benchmarks, metrics, claims and observations. I put those in different sections in my note. It would be cool if I could connect papers by similar observations, metrics, ideas. My intuition was to enable smart blocks in the plugin.

But when I look at the source document data into blocks that smart connections identified, it is not intuitive to me how blocks are defined.Some headings are picked as blocks, others are not, same with bullet points, for some of them I can see blocks, others are not captured as blocks (even if the minimum length requirement is satisfied). Could you please give me some advice how i should structure my note to get more clarity?

Hi @orech

In addition to the minimum length, blocks will be skipped if the contents are included in another block.

Screenshots of what you're seeing in the source inspector would be helpful for me to review for both recommendations and future improvements to the block parser.
