New {{Variable}} -> {{tags}}

[FelipeRearden]

Hello @Taitava !!!!

As we talk before about this plugin Cross-Reference, I'm starting using tags and I think a have a new idea for a variable {{tags}} from the current/active note :)

My workflow

When I'm writing I start to type tags in the middle (inside) of the text to not lose momentum when I'm focus.

My text would look like this. I know, its a mess :(

My idea is to gahter all tags from a note and transfer to an specific heading in the same note (maybe in the end)

echo {{tags}} >> "/{{file_path:absolute}}" or printf {{tags}} | pbcopy ( I don't know yet)

Then I use Regex to delete the tags in the text to clean the mess.

One Special Request 🙏

When dealing with long texts, it's commom that I write many times the same tag, generating more than one record of the same tag in the some.

Using {{tags}} as a list of tags from a note, I'd like to ask for deleting duplicates records of tags. (one record for each tag)

Example: this note has the following 4 tags:
#amor
#ação
#medo
#medo

For the {{tags}} is was thinking about this result:
#amor
#ação
#medo

---

I hope you like this new variable

I wish you a fantastic Monday!

An excellent idea! 🙂

Makes sense. I haven't yet used Obsidian's API to get tags, so I don't know how it works, but I'd guess the API can already give a list of tags without duplicates. Nevertheless, duplicates can be removed even if the API would not do it for some reason.

In some database languages (such as SQL languages), a term distinctive is used for getting results without duplicates.

The definition for this variables would be: {{tags:separator}}, where separator is a freely decideable text that will be used between tags, and it's mandatory.

Have a nice day, too! 🙂

I hope it's an easy one :)

One more term that I learn with you :)

Thanks again, I'm gonna open an FR for this new feature.

Have a great day!

Should be. (That's something a programmer should never say. Things that should be easy tend to extend their amount of work from what was expected 😲 ).

Thanks, have a nice day too! 🙂

It's funny how theory is different from practice: We always have to deal with the unexpected :smiley

That's why you guys are so important to our world. You have te knowledge to transform an idea a thought into a tool/product/asset that can change people (like me) lives :)

That's your superpower :)

Have a great day @Taitava !

Thanks! 🙂 You are important too, there's always a role for everyone! A tool needs users so that it can be improved through real word usage. 😎 Have a nice day too!
