Attribute syntax can contribute additional Metadata to various Objects including:
- Pages
- Items
- Tasks
Syntax
The syntax is as follows:
[attributeName: value]
For Obsidian/LogSeq compatibility, you can also double the colon like this: [attributeName:: value]
Attribute names need to be alpha numeric. 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]
Scope
Depending on where these attributes appear, they attach to different things. For instance, this attaches an attribute to a page:
[pageAttribute: hello]
However, usually Frontmatter is be used for this purpose instead.
Example query:
page where name = "{{@page.name}}" select name, pageAttribute
This attaches an attribute to an item:
- Item [itemAttribute: hello] #specialitem
Example query:
specialitem where itemAttribute = "hello" select name, itemAttribute
This attaches an attribute to a task:
- Task [taskAttribute: hello]
Example query:
task where page = "Attributes" and taskAttribute = "hello" select name, taskAttribute
