Tagline

An Obsidian plugin that lets you create notes from inline text using tag-driven templates. Write a line with a tag, add inline fields, and convert it to a linked note with proper frontmatter.

Tagline demo

Features

  • Tag-triggered note creation: Configure templates for specific tags (e.g., #todo, #meeting, #person)
  • Inline field editing: Add Dataview-style inline fields [field:: value] with autocomplete suggestions
  • Template-based frontmatter: Define field types and sources in your template's frontmatter using @type: comments
  • Smart suggestions: Get autocomplete for dates, folder contents, tagged notes, and custom options
  • Checkbox sync: Optionally sync checkbox state with a frontmatter status field
  • Templater support: Works with Templater syntax in your templates

Quick Start

  1. Create a template with typed frontmatter fields:

    ---
title: "" # @type: text
priority: medium # @type: text | options:high,medium,low
due: # @type: date
assignee: "" # @type: text | tag:person
tags: [] # @type: list
---

  2. Configure a tag in plugin settings:

    • Tag: todo
    • Field source: Parse from template
    • Template path: Templates/Todo.md
    • Output folder: Tasks/

  3. Write a line with the tag:

    Review the PR #todo

  4. Press Space after the tag to insert fields, then fill them in:

    Review the PR #todo [priority:: high] [due:: 2026-05-10] [assignee:: [[John]]]

  5. Click the "Create Note" button (or use the command) to convert to:

    [[Tasks/Review the PR|Review the PR]]

    The new note will have proper frontmatter with your field values.

Field Types

Define field types in your template frontmatter using @type: comments:

Type Syntax Description
text field: "" # @type: text Plain text
date field: # @type: date Date picker suggestions
number field: 0 # @type: number Numeric value
boolean field: false # @type: boolean true/false
list field: [] # @type: list YAML array (comma-separated inline)

Suggestion Sources

Add a source after the type to get autocomplete suggestions:

Source Syntax Suggests
options # @type: text | options:high,medium,low Fixed list of options
folder # @type: text | folder:People/ Notes in a folder
tag # @type: text | tag:person Notes with a specific tag
field # @type: text | field:status Values used in a frontmatter field

Keyboard Navigation

  • Tab / Shift+Tab: Navigate between inline fields
  • Standard autocomplete keys work in suggestion popups

Settings

  • Open note after creation: Automatically open newly created notes
  • Link format: Wiki links [[note]] or Markdown links [note](note.md)
  • Field styling: Visual styling for inline fields
  • Checkbox sync: Sync checkbox state with frontmatter (per-tag configuration)
