Links

Notes can reference each other using wikilinks (ex: [[file#note]]).

## Note: A


Check note [[#A]].


## Note: B


Check note [[#B]].

Special attributes are also analyzed to determine the relations between notes.

  • references (type: array)
  • source (type: string)
  • inspirations (type: string)

Wikilinks inside these attributes automatically generate relations (= links in The NoteWriter Desktop).

references

## Note: A


`@references: https://random.website`
`@references: _A Random Book_`
`@references: [[#B]]`


A first note.


## Note B


A second note.

The last reference is similar to:

## Note: A


A first note.


## Note: B


A second note referencing [[#A]]

source

`@source: https://some.random.blog`

inspirations

## Note: A

Markdown links can include in their title was is called a Go link, that is a memorable name for a hard-to-remember URL.

The syntax must follow the convention #go/{name}.

## Note: Useful Links


* [Golang](https://go.dev/doc/ "#go/go") was designed by Robert Greisemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson at Google in 2007.
* [Go Playground](https://go.dev/play/ "#go/go/playground") is useful to share snippets.

Go links can be browse directly from the terminal:

Terminal window
$ nt go go
# Open a new tab in your browser to https://go.dev/doc/


# Or
$ nt go go/playground

You can also use Go links (more conveniently) from The NoteWriter Desktop (no need to have a terminal open inside your notes repository).
