All frontmatter fields supported by nuartz — title, date, tags, draft, aliases, and more.

Every Markdown file in nuartz can include a YAML frontmatter block at the top. Frontmatter controls how the page is titled, indexed, and displayed.

Example

---
title: My Note
date: 2026-03-01
description: A short summary shown in link previews and the search index.
tags:
  - example
  - reference
draft: false
aliases:
  - my note
  - mynote
summary: An even shorter one-liner for the tag/folder index cards.

Field reference

title

The page title shown in the browser tab, the page header, and any wikilinks that point to this page.

Defaults to the filename if omitted.

date

Publication date in YYYY-MM-DD format. Used for sorting in folder and tag listings and displayed in the page header.

date: 2026-03-01

description

A short description of the page. Used in:

  • <meta name="description"> for SEO
  • OpenGraph previews when sharing links
  • The search index excerpt

tags

A list of tags for this page. Tags generate clickable links and appear in the tag index.

tags:
  - feature
  - navigation

You can also use inline #hashtag syntax in the body. See Tags.

draft

Set to true to exclude the page from builds. The page is still accessible by direct URL in development mode. See Private Pages.

draft: true

aliases

Alternative names for this page. nuartz resolves wikilinks that use any of the aliases to the correct URL.

aliases:
  - wikilinks
  - double brackets

summary

A short one-liner displayed on tag index cards and folder listing pages. Falls back to description if omitted.

enableToc

Set to false to hide the table of contents sidebar panel for this page.

enableToc: false

Notes

Tip

All frontmatter fields are optional except in specific contexts. A file with no frontmatter at all is valid — nuartz uses the filename as the title.

Obsidian compatibility

nuartz reads the same fields Obsidian writes. If you open your content folder in Obsidian, the properties panel will display and edit these fields correctly. See Obsidian Compatibility.
