Writing Notes
Notes are simple text files with some extra flavor, in the shape of Markdown syntax and support for extra properties (see [[note-properties]]).
Foam Syntax
Foam uses standard markdown, with a few added twists:
-
the title of a note (e.g. in the [[graph-visualization]]) is given by precedence based on:
- the
title
property (see [[note-properties]]) - the first
# heading 1
of the file - the file name
- the
Markdown Syntax
With markdown we can style our notes in a simple way, while keeping the document a simple text file (the best way to future-proof your writings!).
You can see the formatted output by running the Markdown: Open Preview to the Side
command.
Here is a high level overview of Markdown, for more information on the markdown syntax see here.
