Tags

Foam supports tags.

Creating a tag

There are two ways of creating a tag:

• adding a #tag anywhere in the text of the note
• using the tags: tag1, tag2 property in frontmatter

Tags can also be hierarchical, so you can have #parent/child.

Navigating tags

It's possible to navigate tags via the Tag Explorer panel. In the future it will be possible to explore tags via the graph as well.

Styling tags

Inline tags can be styled using custom CSS with the selector .foam-tag.

An alternative to tags

Given the power of backlinks, some people prefer to use them also as tags. For example you can tag your notes about books with [[book]].
