How Page Properties in LogSeq Work

tags:: #LogSeq, #howto, #properties

• I could never quite figure out how some pages seemed properly tagged and others weren’t
• The way LogSeq Properties work, is that the first lines of a file
  • Don’t have a bullet
  • Are new line / return delimited
• I knew this, but just thought putting arbitrary properties “at the top” — in the first few bullets — was enough
• On mobile, the properties of a page have a dark background
• If you go into that dark background line, you can hit return and add more properties, without creating a bullet
• Correct
  • link, author, published, and tags properties, in any order, at the top of a file
  • Dark background
  • 
• Incorrect
  • Only the link property is an actual property
  • Need to fix so that tags is also within that dark area, not a “second bullet”
  • This still “works” in this case for backlinks, but won’t show in the special “Pages tagged with ‘article’” section that is built into LogSeq by default
