What works on logseq-schrodinger so far

• Local Hugo links (but Logseq uses one folder for everything, so Hugo does too)
• Block refs(!) — On conversion the block is pulled from the other location
• Images
  • Notice that the uppercase filenames might be transformed to lowercase, making the remote images invalid, please double-check that.
• Basic Markdown styling (including highlighting!)
