Johnny.Decimal Notes

If you use the Johnny.Decimal note-taking system, Breadcrumbs can leverage the structure of your note names. For example, if you have the following notes:

  • 10 Work
  • 10.20 Project A
  • 10.20.a Task 1

Breadcrumbs will add edges from 10.20.a Task 1 to 10.20 Project A to 10 Work using the field you specify.

	1(10.20.a Task 1) -- up --> 2(10.20 Project 1) -- up --> 3(10 Work)

Settings

Section titled “Settings”
  • Enable: Toggle Johnny.Decimal notes on or off.
  • Default Field: Choose the field to use for the edges. Override per-note with the BC-johnny-decimal-note-field frontmatter key.
  • Default Sibling Field: Choose the field used for edges between notes that share a parent — both items (10.20 ↔ 10.30) and categories under the same area (11 ↔ 12 under 10). Leave empty to disable sibling edges.
  • Delimiter: Choose the delimiter you use in your Johnny.Decimal notes. This is generally a period (.), but can be anything you like.
