Given Denote's composable code, you can tweak the output however you
like ([[#h:f69371d5-1843-493d-9ff5-c1ab3b43024e][Tweaking the front matter]]).
If you do place different types of notes in their own directories,
consider introducing directory-local variables to keep things working
seamlessly. An obvious candidate for such a local variable is the
~denote-directory~: you want notes in =~/blog/= to treat their directory
as the canonical one; while those in =~/Documents/notes/= to do the same
for that path. Write a =.dir-locals.el= file with the following
contents and place it in each of those directories:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
;;; Directory Local Variables
;;; For more information see (info "(emacs) Directory Variables")
((nil . ((denote-directory . (expand-file-name default-directory)))))
#+end_src
This will allow things to work smoothly (e.g. ~denote-infer-keywords~).
Have more ideas? Something does not work quite right? Areas you wish
were more abstract in the code? Please participate in the development
process.
