Attributes can contribute additional [[Metadata]] to various entities:
* Pages
* Items
* Tasks
## Syntax
The syntax for attributes in inspired by [Obsidians Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/annotation/add-metadata/) plugin, as well as [LogSeq](https://logseq.com/)s:
```
[attributeName:: value]
```
Attribute names need to be alphanumeric. Values are interpreted as text by default, unless they take the shape of a number, in which case theyre parsed as a number.
Multiple attributes can be attached to a single entity, e.g. like so:
* Some item [attribute1:: sup][attribute2:: 22]
And queried like so:
<!-- #query item where page = "Attributes" and name =~ /Some item/ -->
|name |attribute1|attribute2|page |pos|
|---------|---|--|----------|---|
|Some item|sup|22|Attributes|569|
<!-- /query -->
## Scope
Depending on where these attributes appear, they attach to different things. For instance here:
[pageAttribute:: hello]
The attribute attaches to a page, whereas
* Item [itemAttribute:: hello]
it attaches to an item, and finally:
* [ ] Task [taskAttribute:: hello]
Here it attaches to a task.
