Tags and Categories Not working

To be fair, this could have been me misunderstanding where folders and projects were and weren't allowed. Still, I used the help doc to aid in setting up the initial title and whatnot yet I'm not seeing it pop up in the side panel. The filters only seem to allow items that are drafts, as the tags and whatnot from the help document worked fine.

Also I'm a little unclear on where tags from within the document show up, how you'd make tags akin to the chapter 1, chapter 2, etc shown in a screenshot on the product page, and how those differentiate from the outline tab.

It looks like your document's frontmatter isn't being parsed at all. Can you share the file you're having trouble with?

Tags in deepdwn exist at the document level only, to help organize files together which share the same tag. 

In the product page screenshot, there are multiple markdown files (titled "chapter one", "chapter two", etc) which all have a common tag in their document metadata.

Hope that makes sense. Let me know if you have any questions about it!

Apologies for the delay, and thank you for helping! Hopefully this helps prevent more weird bugs lol. There shouldn't be much data within the actual file, just the basic set up, as that's when I started to notice the help/example document was showing up in categories, but not this one.

Thank you!

There is an issue with the description section of your document.

It needs to appear like this (with the key and content on a single line)

description: Organizing potential quests and story

or like this (with the content indented on the following line):

description:
  Organizing potential quests and story

Otherwise, the yaml section is technically invalid, and Deepdwn is unable to parse the metadata (in some circumstances), and you don’t get the correct title/tag/category display.

There is an advanced feature that ought to have been able to help with that (Settings > Advanced > Enable markdown format warnings), but I see that it has a bug preventing it from working correctly in the latest release.

If it was working, you might have seen this cryptic message, which may or may not have helped anyway.

Ohhhhhhh, gotcha!

And yeah, didn't see the warning. In my case, I'd probably look up what it was seeing, and get an explainer from stack overflow, but folks who don't look at debug logs for fun maaaaaaaaaaaay have a trickier time.

Still, thanks for the help!
