How to define Tags
Tags jump into life automatically while clicking Add tag... or typing F3 when editing a note. But be careful: It's not a good idea to do so because you will add tags by accident if you make any typing mistakes!
Suggest
way is:
- open Tags folder in Left Panel and use RClick -> Create Tag...
- type in a new tag name (start with ".What =")
- hit <Return>
The new tag is listed und Tags. You may continue adding new tags now by
- RClick on the new tag and select Create Tag in ".What ="...
- type in a new tag name (for exampe "=Example")
- hit <Return>
Bingo!
You created a tag hierarchy ".What =" containing a single tag "=Example"
therein.
You max continue with adding new hierarchies (start with RClick on "Tags") or new tags within a hierchary (start with RClick on an existing tag).
