Note Statuses and Breadcrumbs

On this page

Two small conventions I used to keep notes in order, in case they are useful to you.

Note statuses

A status property says where a note is in its life.

StatusMeaning
UnprocessedNot yet reviewed or integrated.
ActiveCurrently being written or significantly updated.
ConfirmedPlanned and ready. Waiting to begin.
In ProgressCurrently underway.
OngoingPublished and continuously updated. No defined end point.
AnnualRecurring, updated once per year.
MaintenanceLive, receives minor edits only.
ReferenceKept as a stable reference. Not expected to change.
CompletedDone, not expected to change.
PausedWas active, now on hold.

Insert this Templater snippet into a note to print breadcrumb links to its current location.

If you have folder notes enabled, the final note link prints twice.

<%* if (tp.file.folder(true).contains("/")) { %>[[<% tp.file.folder(true).replaceAll("/", "]] / [[") %>]] <%* } else { %> [[<% tp.file.folder(true) %>]] <%* } %> / [[<% tp.file.title %>]]

Example output:

[[Home|Home]] / [[Markdown breadcrumb navigation]]

I now write my breadcrumbs by hand, so I no longer use this snippet.
