Obsidian is a markdown-based note-taking application that allows you to create and manage your notes in a highly organized way. One of the unique features of Obsidian is the use of "front matter." Front matter is a way of adding metadata to your notes that can be used to control how they are displayed and sorted. This metadata can be used to create custom views, sort your notes by different criteria, and more.
There are two ways to add front matter to a note in Obsidian. The first is to use the "##" syntax at the start of a note. For example, the following note would have the title "My Note" and the tags "tag1" and "tag2":
## My Note
tags: tag1, tag2
The second way to add front matter is to use the "Meta" button in the editor. This will open a special editor window where you can add any metadata you want to the note. This is useful for adding more complex metadata, such as dates, links, and more.
Obsidian's use of front matter makes it a very powerful tool for managing your notes. If you are looking for a way to organize your notes in a more structured way, Obsidian is definitely worth considering.
