Metadata

You can include metadata, in the form of key-value pairs (YAML), at the top of any note, enclosed within --- delimiters. We refer to this as your note's "frontmatter".

Example

In the following note, we've included two pieces of metadata in the frontmatter: the book's ISBN and whether or not we've read it.

isbn: 978-1542866507
