As Quartz uses Markdown files as the main way of writing content, it fully supports Markdown syntax. By default, Quartz also ships with a few syntax extensions like Github Flavored Markdown (footnotes, strikethrough, tables, tasklists) and Obsidian Flavored Markdown (callouts, wikilinks).
Additionally, Quartz also allows you to specify additional metadata in your notes called frontmatter.
content/note.md
---
title: Example Title
draft: false
tags:
- example-tag

The rest of your content lives here. You can use **Markdown** here :)
Some common frontmatter fields that are natively supported by Quartz:
title: Title of the page. If it isn’t provided, Quartz will use the name of the file as the title.description: Description of the page used for link previews.permalink: A custom URL for the page that will remain constant even if the path to the file changes.aliases: Other names for this note. This is a list of strings.tags: Tags for this note.draft: Whether to publish the page or not. This is one way to make pages private in Quartz.date: A string representing the day the note was published. Normally usesYYYY-MM-DDformat.
