9.4 The Basic Set of Fields ↑
9.4.1 Title
The word title
can be used as both a label and a type.
A Collection must have one and only one field of type title
, and it should be the first field within a Collection.
A Title consists of a few words telling you what the Note is about.
Each Note in a Collection must have a unique Title, however Notenik will automatically append a number, or increment one if already present, in order to allow a Note to be added that would otherwise be a duplicate.
When editing, the title field will appear as a single line of editable text.
When displayed, the title field will often be displayed in a bold and/or larger font, and often without being accompanied by its label.
When used as a sort field, title values will be sorted by their lowest-common-denominator representation (ignoring case, spacing and punctuation).
The title field for a Note serves as that Note’s unique identifier within its Collection, in three different ways:
In its original form, as entered by the user, when presented to the user;
In its lowest common denominator form (as described above), when used internally by Notenik;
In a lightly transformed form, when creating a file name for the Note, to be used on disk.
