TL:DR I can't see how to add multiple tags to a note?
note cross linking - having to cross link every note that is relevant to any/every other note is a friction, so I'm not doing it much at all. Being able to just add multiple tags to each new note (somewhere/somehow) feels quicker, easier and a more "intuitive" way to automagically group relevant notes together. E.g. Firefox bookmark style tagging.
As discussed in the README, notesium supports the concept of labels, but there is no special label syntax. Instead, a label is just a regular note, and only considered a label if its title is one-word.
There is no limit to the amount of a links a note can have - so, if you want have multiple labels, you would just link to those label notes. Where you specify those links is up to you.
You could add the label links at the top of the body, for example
# never split the difference
[books](625bdd26.md) [negotiation](64392126.md)
...And or they could be inline, for example:
# richard feynman
richard phillips feynman was an american theoretical [physicist](642146c7.md), known for his work in ...There is no need to manually cross link every note due to backlink support, meaning you wouldn't need to manually link to each book from the book note. Having just one link is sufficient to create the linkage, no matter the direction.
You can see linkages in multiple ways:
- The
noteside-panel displays LinkTrees (screenshot - right sidepanel Incoming Links). - By using the
labelandnotes-listside-panels in conjunction. By clicking a label it will auto-filter the notes-list. - Note list dialog with prefixed labels, and manually filtering for the label you want (screenshot).
- Graph view (either global or note-specific)
Just for completeness, auto-formatted links can be easily inserted while editing a note by typing [[ - which will bring up the LinkInsertion dialog.
Does that address the question/comment, or did I misunderstand?
Titles
title - is the title intended to be a space separated list of tags? My default (and my desire) is to be able to give a plain english title, one that is descriptive, but not explicit about full content.
Titles should be plain text and descriptive, not a list of tags. Ideally they should be in markdown H1 format, for example:
# never split the differenceSearch
search - is useful as is, but the results are too noisy for what I'm looking for.
Could you clarify what mean, and how you think it could be "less noisy" or what you would expect?

This "issue"/feature request relates to the web UI - but is likely relevant to the CLI editor too. I'll use 'tags' to refer to what you seem to call "labels" in the readme. But perhaps I misunderstand what you mean by labels?
TL:DR I can't see how to add multiple tags to a note? My suspicion is that others may be looking for this.
What I'm looking for is somewhat already provided by existing features - which are cool and useful as is. However they're not quite what I'm looking for. I.e.:
