Every navigation shows part of the same tree. This chapter is about the tree itself — what is in it, what it is called and in what order. Which part is shown is in chapter 3.
| Page | Content |
|---|---|
| 2.1 – Titles and folder pages | Where an entry gets its name, and what numbers do to it |
| 2.2 – Sorting | Manual, alphabetical, by date — and the cascade behind it |
| 2.3 – Hiding and selecting | What is left out by itself, navHide, include and exclude |
The four frontmatter fields
A page can have a say in its own entry:
| Field | Effect | In an index.md |
|---|---|---|
navTitle | title in the navigation instead of title | title of the folder |
navOrder | number for manual order, smaller first | position of the folder among its siblings |
navHide | true hides the page | hides the whole folder |
navIcon | icon before the title (7.1) | icon of the folder |
The names can be changed with frontmatterKeys, for instance when a vault already uses order:

frontmatterKeys:
