|
A tag is a user defined value assigned as a tag to a section of your :term:`Project Notes`.
|
||||||
|
It is optional, and can be defined once per heading. It is set using the :term:`keyword`
|
||||||
|
syntax ``@tag: value``, where ``value`` is the user defined part. Each tag can be referenced
|
||||||
|
in another file using one of the :term:`reference` keywords. See :ref:`a_references` chapter
|
||||||
|
for more details.

|
:term:`root folder` types. A full overview is available in the :ref:`a_references` chapter.

The project index is a record of all headings in a project, with all their meta data like
|
||||||
|
synopsis comments, :term:`tags<tag>` and :term:`references<reference>`. The project index is
|
||||||
|
kept up to date automatically, but can also be regenerated manually from the
|
||||||
|
:guilabel:`Tools` menu or by pressing :kbd:`F9`.

Keyword

Keyword
|

...
|
A keyword in novelWriter is a special command you put in the text of your documents. They are
|
||||||
|
not standard Markdown, but is used in novelWriter to add information that is interpreted by
|
||||||
|
the application. For instance, keywords are used for :term:`tags<tag>` and
|
||||||
|
:term:`references<reference>`.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Keywords must always be on their own line, and the first character of the line must always be
|
||||||
|
the ``@`` character. The keyword must also always be followed by a ``:`` character, and the
|
||||||
|
values passed to the command are added after this, separated by commas.
