Can you write properties inline?

Questions & Help
1

And have multiple values for that inline property? And can you make blocks, specifically multiple blocks, as property values? And when I make a query, when I search, can I type the content of the block instead of its UUID? And lastly, when I export the page or the entire graph, can it export the block references as the text they’re displaying instead of their UUID?

I’ve checked out these posts: Inline properties and reuse of property values, basic implementation, Create Properties from inline text as I type and make them available as variables inside the block, but I’m afraid I can’t understand them and it seems complicated to implement.

  • These are multiple questions.
  • The short answer is no to all of them.
  • But for the first two questions, there is a customization that partially does it.
    • Since you find it complicated, please provide us with specific examples of what you would like to type, so as to give you instructions for how to achieve something similar.

for example:

  • Avoid drinking any liquid an hour before bedtime. for:: [[My project/nonfiction book]], [[My project/article]], [[My management/My sleep schedule]]

  • Your example doesn’t use inline properties.
    • You can get your block by simply typing Shift + Enter instead of Space before the for:: , i.e.:
      • Avoid drinking any liquid an hour before bedtime.
        for:: [[My project/nonfiction book]], [[My project/article]], [[My management/My sleep schedule]]
  • For a possible variation with inline properties (if you decide to implement them):
    • you could type e.g. this:
      • As written in {{p for [[My project/article]]}} and explained in {{p for [[My project/nonfiction book]]}}, should avoid drinking any liquid an hour before {{p for [[My management/My sleep schedule]]}}.
    • and get something like this:
      • As written in [[My project/article]] and explained in [[My project/nonfiction book]], should avoid drinking any liquid an hour before [[My management/My sleep schedule]].
        for:: [[My project/article]], [[My project/nonfiction book]], [[My management/My sleep schedule]]

Thank you, but what I mean when I say inline I literally just mean it’s in the line. I want the properties to be in the same line as all the text. I don’t want to have to write it below the block like when I use Shift + Enter. That’s why my example is like that.

I use Notepad++. Having the property below the block means it will be on a separate line from the actual block in Notepad++, which is not ideal for me.
