Yes it does. So prepping a file consists of adding the separators, [title in brackets] on first line, a space and then the 'created' date (where I see you used the same YYYY-MM-DD format that is my preference. Will the system then zettel-ize it with a UID? And where will it place the title (within the zettel that is)? And can the 'created' date be automated? Well, that would be nice, but since I need to type in the created date anyway I might as well make a :created: YYYY-MM-DD line. And if the system extracts the title for the heading, perhaps I need to copy the title into the 'body', below. Or it could even differ from the heading if there is any reason to do that. Can you have multiple identical headings in an outline? Actually, yes, I've already discovered that you can. So this gives a way to set the heading from within the zettel, removing a step from the process. A bit less overhead, at least when I bring a zettel in that way. In the example you posted, "Salmon with Whole Lemon Dressing" is the heading, and also the title in the rendered pane. But in the body pane, what follows the id is "Salmon Lemon Dressing", so the rendered title is the same as the heading, but not the same as what is in the body pane. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
