2021-01-01 value is a timestamp, as YAML specification https://yaml.org/type/timestamp.html.
So, Cosma parse a date and not a string. I will catch this exception.

The question is to know if we respect the specification or if we make an exception.

• '2021-01-01' -> 2021-01-01
• 2021-01-01 -> Fri Jan 01 2021 01:00:00 GMT+0100 (heure normale d’Europe centrale)

There are many people who have inserted date in the filename and/or title of their notes (in order to sort and easily retrieved them, see for instance the use of this guy). I think personaly that it is not a good (or useful) practise—I prefer to use a 'date' field or the 'id' field containing creation date—but since it is a common one, I think it would be indeed necessary to catch this exception for the 'title' YAML field.

PS: special symbols in title (comma, hyphens, ...) also produce a bug in Cosma.

[Myllaume]

To be sure, the following titles do not cause any problem during my tests:

• toto - tata
• '2001-01-01'

Did you encounter a problem ?

[kevinpolisano]

It is not a bug raising an error, sorry I would like to say that the "link text" not in 'title' field but in the alternative syntax for links—namely [[id|link text]]—is not properly interpreted in Cosma.

@kevinpolisano This is fixed in Cosma CLI v2-beta-2. We'll close this when the GUI v2 is released.

@Myllaume I have also confirmed the other issue, with the alternative syntax. I'm opening a separate issue for it.
