Attribute syntax can contribute additional Metadata to various Objects, including:

• Pages
• Items
• Tasks

Syntax

The syntax is as follows:

[attributeName: value]

For Obsidian/LogSeq compatibility, you can also double the colon like this: [attributeName:: value]

Attribute names need to be alpha-numeric. Values are interpreted as YAML values. So here are some examples of valid attribute definitions:

• string: [attribute1: sup]
• number: [attribute2: 10]
• array: [attribute3: [sup, yo]]

Multiple attributes can be attached to a single entity, e.g. like so:

• Some item [attribute1: sup][attribute2: 22]

Scope

Depending on where these attributes appear, they attach to different things. For instance, this attaches an attribute to a page:

[pageAttribute: hello]

However, usually, Frontmatter is used for this purpose instead.

Example query:

${query from index.tag "page" where .name == editor.getCurrentPage() select {name=.name, pageAttribute=_.pageAttribute} select {name=.name, pageAttribute=.pageAttribute} )}

This attaches an attribute to an item:

• Item [itemAttribute: hello] #specialitem

Example query:

${query from index.tag "specialitem" where itemAttribute == "hello" select { name = _.name, itemAttribute = _.itemAttribute }}

This attaches an attribute to a task:

• [ ] Task with an attribute, I’m so cool [taskAttribute: hello]

Example query:

${query from index.tag "task" where taskAttribute == "hello" select { name = _.name, taskAttribute = _.taskAttribute }}
