## 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:
The syntax is as follows:
```
[attributeName:: value]
[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.
For Obsidian/LogSeq compatibility, you can also double the colon like this: `[attributeName:: value]`
Attribute names need to be alphanumeric. Values are interpreted as [[YAML]] values. So here are some examples of valid attribute definitions:
* string: [attribute1: sup]
* number: [attribute2: 10]
* array: [attribute3: [sup, yo]]
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 -->
* Some item [attribute1: sup][attribute2: 22]
## Scope
Depending on where these attributes appear, they attach to different things. For instance here:
Depending on where these attributes appear, they attach to different things. For instance, this attaches an attribute to a page:
[pageAttribute:: hello]
The attribute attaches to a page, whereas
Example query:
<!-- #query page where name = "Attributes" -->
|name |lastModified |contentType |size|perm|pageAttribute|
|----------|-------------|-------------|----|--|-----|
|Attributes|1690384301337|text/markdown|1591|rw|hello|
<!-- /query -->
This attaches an attribute to an item:
* Item [itemAttribute:: hello]
it attaches to an item, and finally:
Example query:
<!-- #query item where page = "Attributes" and itemAttribute = "hello" -->
|name|itemAttribute|page |pos |
|----|-----|----------|----|
|Item|hello|Attributes|1079|
<!-- /query -->
This attaches an attribute to a task:
* [ ] Task [taskAttribute:: hello]
Here it attaches to a task.
Example query:
<!-- #query task where page = "Attributes" and taskAttribute = "hello" -->
|name|done |taskAttribute|page |pos |
|----|-----|-----|----------|----|
|Task|false|hello|Attributes|1352|
<!-- /query -->
