Markdown syntax

Lumen supports GitHub Flavored Markdown with the following syntax extensions:

Wikilinks

Link to another note using its ID.

[[<note-id>|<link-text>]]

Example	Rendered HTML
[[1652342106359|Randie Bemis]]	<a href="/1652342106359">Randie Bemis</a>

Dates

You can also use wikilink syntax to reference a date.

[[YYYY-MM-DD]]

Example	Rendered HTML
[[2021-07-11]]	<a href="/2021-07-11">Sun, Jul 11, 2021</a>

Tip

Lumen uses Chrono to convert natural language dates into ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD). Try typing [[yesterday]] or [[next monday]] in a note editor to see it in action.

Embeds

Embed the contents of another note using its ID.

![[<note-id>]]

Example	Rendered HTML
![[1652342106359]]	Contents of note 1652342106359

Tags

Link to all other notes with the same tag.

#<tag-name>

Note

Tag names must start with a letter and can contain letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores, and forward slashes.

Example	Rendered HTML
#recipe	#<a href="/tags/recipe">recipe</a>
