Sidebar

In the default template, the sidebar is rendered on the left side. The sidebar tree is determined from folgezettel heterarchy.

• The sidebar tree is collapsed by default. But this can be disabled by setting template.sidebar.collapsed to false in YAML configuration
• The ordering of children in the tree is determined in the following order (this is also the order in which Obsidian-style queries results are rendered by default):
  1. if template.sidebar.folders-first is set to true (default false), directories (see Folder notes) are put before single notes, respecting the other order criteria. Otherwise, directories and notes will be interleaved.
  2. If the order frontmatter metadata exists, use that as the primary sort key.
  3. If the note has a H1 title, use that as the secondary sort key; otherwise, use the note filename as the secondary sort key.

Customizing page title

The sidebar will use a page’s title by default, but you can override the sidebar item text by setting the short-title frontmatter property.

---
short-title: hello
---

# Hello World

Foo bar ...

This page will use “Hello World” as its title in the main view, but “hello” in the sidebar and index pages. For real-world example, see the page “Pandoc Lua Filters”.

Disabling the sidebar

In YAML configuration,

template:
  sidebar:
    enable: false
