Foam File Format
This file is an example of a valid Foam file. Essentially it's just a markdown file with a bit of additional support for mediawiki-style [[wiki-links]].
Here are a few specific constraints, mainly because our tooling is a bit fragmented. Most of these should be eventually lifted, and our requirement should just be "Markdown with [[wiki-links]]:
- The first top level
# Headingwill be used as title for the note.- If not available, we will use the file name
- File name should have extension
.md- This is a temporary limitation and will be lifted in future versions.
- At least
.mdxwill be supported, but ideally we'll support any file that you can map toMarkdownlanguage mode in VS Code
- In addition to normal Markdown Links syntax you can use
[[media-wiki]]links. See [[wiki-links]] for more details.
