06 - Tags

Notes can have multiple tags, which are useful for better categorization.

Syntax

• Root: Root tags don’t contain any forward slash (/). If there are any notebooks or templates defined they will be rendered inside the special Tags section in the sidebar, otherwise the Tags parent section will be omitted.

• Nested: Tags can also be nested, indefinitely, just write them like a path, separating the levels with a forward slash: foo/bar/baz.

Special Tags

• Notebooks: You’ve probably noticed that Notable supports notebooks too. To create one just add a tag starting with Notebooks/ to a note.

• Templates: Notable also supports Templates, to create one just add the Templates tag to a note. Of course nesting is supported here too, i.e. Templates/Work.

Feel free to use these features, if you don’t need them their icons won’t be displayed in the sidebar.

Collapse/Expand

Tags with children can be collapsed/expanded, just right-click them and select the option or double-click them.

Editing

There are multiple ways to add/remove tags:

• Single-note editing: There’s a button in the toolbar for editing a note’s tags.
• Multi-note editing: Tags can be added/removed from multiple notes at once via the multi-note editing features provided.
• Advanced search & replace: Alternatively you could just open your data directory with your editor and perform a search & replace there, this way you can also use advanced features like regexes.
