Aggregating Notes

Bringing together notes from different places to create summaries is a really helpful way to keep track of widely-spread items.

You can do that in one of two ways:

  • Collections
    • These create a summary in "blog" style of a range of notes with a hierarchy. You can skip levels and sort by date.
  • References
    • These allow you cite a note, or sections of a note, embedded in another note.
      • These are wildcard-able, so you can reference all child-items of a given note.
      • You can reference sections of a note; from a specific heading
        • You can define a range by specifying another heading to end at

Both of these approaches are filterable by position in hierarchy. This means, though, that to collect a give type of notes you need a consistent schema for the sub-types.
