Frontmatter fields

Key Type Description
title string Bold heading at the top of the card
subtitle string Italic line below the title
image string Filename or URL. Supports [[wikilinks]] and ![[wikilinks]]
caption string Small italic text below the image
fields list Array of single-key objects (see below)

Fields list

Each item in fields is a single-key YAML object:

  • Regular row: any key/value pair renders as a label + value row
  • Section header: use the key section to insert a divider with a category label
fields:
  - section: Category Name   # renders as a section divider
  - Label: Value             # renders as a data row

Images

Images can be specified as:

  • A plain filename: image: einstein.jpg (resolved via vault)
  • A wikilink: image: "[[einstein.jpg]]" or image: "![[einstein.jpg]]"
  • A remote URL: image: https://example.com/photo.jpg
