There are two ways to write a note with Denote: invoke the ~denote~
command or leverage the ~org-capture-templates~ by setting up a template
which calls the function ~denote-org-capture~.
There are three ways to write a note with Denote: invoke the ~denote~,

In the first case, all that is needed is to run ~denote~. It will
prompt for a title. Once it is supplied, the command will ask for
keywords. The resulting note will have a file name as already explained
([[#h:4e9c7512-84dc-4dfb-9fa9-e15d51178e5d][The file naming scheme]]).

expects the =TITLE= and =KEYWORDS= arguments. The former is a string,
the latter a list of strings.
The ~denote-type~ command is like ~denote~ except it also prompts for a
file type to use as a local value for ~denote-file-type~. In practical
terms, this lets you produce, say, a note in Markdown even though you
normally write in Org ([[#h:f34b172b-3440-446c-aec1-bf818d0aabfe][Notes in multiple file types]]).
For integration with ~org-capture~, the user must first add the relevant
