Tags

A tag is a word with a hash in front. It lets you sort notes across folders, so a recipe can live in the folder “Kitchen” and still carry #vegetarian.

You simply write tags into the text

Baked #bread with #sourdough today.
Next time for the #garden/party.

A tag ends at the first space or punctuation mark. Letters, digits, underscore, hyphen and slash still belong to it. A tag can't consist of digits only, which is why #2026 isn't a tag but #year2026 is. In code and in comments, a hash doesn't count as a tag.

Nesting tags inside each other

A slash turns a tag into a sub-tag, so #garden/party belongs to #garden. When you search for tag:garden, you find both.

Tags in the properties

Tags may also go at the top in the properties, and there they come without the hash. nexlore shows them as chips in that spot.

What tags do for you in nexlore

• Tag tree: The “Tags” tab in the sidebar shows every tag with its notes below, and nested tags appear as branches.
• Renaming: There you can rename a tag together with its sub-tags, in every note of the spaces you may write in.
• Search: tag:bread finds every note with this tag and its sub-tags.
• Graph: When you switch it to “Tags”, every note sits in the bubble of its first tag, and nested tags show up as a bubble in a bubble.
