Prototype: person_note
An instance of person_note will prepend a biographical (or other) date-range to the exported title of the note from the values you enter:
- To export a single date, assign
$StartDate
. - To export a date span, assign
$StartDate
and$EndDate
. - To carry a span inside the note (which you may extract or store for other purposes) but override it with a single one on export, assign
$DueDate
and give the span to$StartDate
–$EndDate
. For example, you can use the latter to hold the biographical span the former for date of publication.
Map View will display the date(s) in its subtitle, along with $blogSubtitle
, $mySpec1
, and $mySpec2
. If you are using Map View to make a FillMap or a LinkMap, keep $DEDate
off to avoid redundancy. For organizing lots of note in Outline View, turn it on.
