Apart from being a simple tool for labeling notes (and other tags, too!), tags can have…
Tag notes and other tags, and enrich tags with useful details — just like notes.
… metadata
- Aliases
- Locations
- Milestone dates
- External references
… hierarchy
- Imagine having a tag called Notre-Dame de Paris. The tag page will obviously show everything explicitly labeled.
- Add a polygon-shaped location outlining the contour of the great building to your tag. Then create another one called Spire of Notre-Dame de Paris and mark it on the map — this surely will be inside that. Thus, everything labeled with this new tag will be shown, too.
- Create a third tag called Gargoyles of Notre-Dame de Paris, but assign its location as simply Notre-Dame de Paris rather than adding new points on the map. Expect the same effect.
- And finally — Reconstruction of Notre-Dame de Paris. Label it with Notre-Dame de Paris. See what happened?
… categories
- Categories are primitive on purpose — just title, no more than one category per tag.
- Good examples would be People or Places or anything you wish.
- Tags are grouped by categories in alphabetical lists.
- Optionally configure your favourite categories to list their tags on the main page of your project.
