On the surface it seems that only google and plausible scripts handle
the SPA correctly - but I don't know if maybe others handle
window.history API themselves somehow or something like that.
However, I am trying out goatcounter and in it's docs I see that it
does no special SPA handling, so this has to be fixed.
Just doing the dynamic script thing on every nav seems to do the trick.
The script is not "spa-preserve" so they wouldn't accumulate - and when
I tried the "spa-preserve" + call goatcounter api route it didn't quite
work, they actually did accumulate
With markdownLinkResolution: "shortest", aka "+/- how Obsidian does it"
and given pages A and nested/B which has an alias Z, if you try to link
from A using [[Z]] it wouldn't work and get 404.
This is caused by alias slugs (nested/Z in this case, emitted by
AliasRedirects) not being present in the `allSlugs` list which is used
by the link transformer.
The fix is to compute the alias slugs in the frontmatter transformer
and add them to `allSlugs` there.
Also we store them in file data to avoid recomputing them when emitting
alias redirect pages.
Fixes#904
Note: given how currently the markdown/html transformers are ordered
this doesn't really work.
Given pages A and nested/B which has an alias Z, here's the order which
currently happens:
md-transformers(A) => html-transformers(A) =>
md-transformers(B) => html-transformers(B)
Since the nested/Z slug will get added when md-transformers(B) are run,
but the slugs are used by html-transformers(A) when resolving it's
links - the link [[Z]] in A will still 404
A fix for this is to split the parser into two stages - first apply the
md-transformers to all files, and only then apply html-transformers to
all files.
I did just that in a different commit, which is needed for this one to
work correctly.
A final breadcrumb has an empty href, linking to the current page, but
the relative url normalization method missed those, making the link
appear broken in search previews and popovers.
Fixes#1690
If there is no `npm.exe` on the system, but
instead an `npm.cmd`, then node won't find
the `npm` executable when calling `spawnSync`.
This occurs frequently when using node package
managers on Windows.

files here.

* [OFM] Allow for dashes in custom callout label
For compatibility with Obsidian's behavior, a custom callout like
[!see-also] is possible. Previously, this was parsed by Quartz as a
callout “see” with metadata “-also”. Instead, this is should be a
callout “see-also” with title “See also” (capitalization + replace
dashes by spaces).

this leads to "index" page and "folder/index", "tags/tag/index" being stored a "/", "folder/" and "tags/tag/" respectively in the list of visited pages.

When providing an absolute path to the content directory (e.g. when using an Obsidian Vault in another directory), the build step would fail with
Failed to process `/absolute/path/to/file.md`: ENOENT: no such file or directory, stat '/current/working/directory/absolute/path/'
This problem originated in the `CreatedModifiedDate` transformer which tries to construct a native filesystem path to the file to call `fs.stat` on. It did not however, account for the original file path contained in the received `VFile` being an absolute path and so, just concatenated the current working directory with the absolute path producing a nonexistent one.
This patch adds a simple fix for this issue by checking if the original file path is already absolute before concatenating with the current working directory.

* fix: allow publish property to be a string (ExplicitPublish)
Previously, the ExplicitPublish filter would publish if the `publish`
property was truthy.
The filter expects the `publish` property to be a boolean:
```
---
publish: true
---
```
However, Obsidian only shows the above if you are viewing a page in
“Source” mode.
If you are not in Source view, and you choose Three Dots Menu (...),
“Add file property”, you will get a string, not a boolean. It seems
likely that many users will do this and get:
```
publish: "true"
```
Notice that `"true"` is a string, not the boolean value `true`. If the
user changes this to `"false"`, the page will still be published:
```
publish: "false"
```
That is because the string value `"false"` is truthy.
This PR does the following:
- Allows the `publish` property to be either a boolean or a string.
- If it’s a string, it’s considered `true` if the string is `"true"`
(not case-sensitive; it will also work if it is `"True"`, `"TRUE"`,
etc.)
- Guarantees that the returned value from `shouldPublish` is a `boolean`
-- previously it could be any truthy value even though it was cast to
`boolean`

ox-hugo currently supports the following syntax for latex equations:
- https://orgmode.org/manual/LaTeX-fragments.html
- https://ox-hugo.scripter.co/doc/equations
This syntax is supported by mathjax as is mentioned in the ox-hugo documentation.
But quartz uses remark-math which has some issues with the \( \) syntax.
See https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-math/issues/39
This change adds few more transformations to the OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown
plugin, which makes a best effort conversion of this syntax into what
the Quartz Latex transformer plugin supports.
With these changes, the generated files show latex formatting with
default quartz configuration.
Sidenote on `\_` escape by ox-hugo:
ox-hugo escapes, _ using \_, we match against it after we transform
equations into what quartz supports($$ and $).
This could be achieved using lookaround like regex as follows
```js
(?<=(\$|\$\$)[\s\S]*) -> Positive lookbehind for $ or $$
\\_ -> Matches \_
(?=[\s\S]*(?:\1)) Positive lookahead for $ or $$ if matched
const escapedUnderscoreRegex = new RegExp(/(?<=(\$|\$\$)[\s\S]*)\\_(?=[\s\S]*(?:\1))/, "g")
````
But since lookahead/behind can slow things down on large files, we just
look up all equations with $ and $$ delimiters and then try replacing \_

ox-hugo is an org exporter backend that exports org files to
hugo-compatible markdown in an opinionated way. This plugin adds some
tweaks to the generated markdown to make it compatible with quartz but
the list of changes applied it is not extensive.
In the future however, we could leapfrog ox-hugo altogether and
create a quartz site directly out of org-roam files. That way we won't
have to do all the ritual dancing that this plugin has to perform.

Currently frontmatter is expected to be yaml, with delimiter set to
"---". This might not always be the case, for example ox-hugo(a hugo
exporter for org-mode files) exports in toml format with the delimiter
set to "+++" by default.
With this change, the users will be able use frontmatter plugin to
support this toml frontmatter format.
Example usage: `Plugin.FrontMatter({delims: "+++", language: 'toml'})`

### Troubleshooting
- 🚧 [Troubleshooting and FAQ](notes/troubleshooting.md)
- 🐛 [Submit an Issue](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/issues)
Quartz is designed to be extremely configurable. You can find the bulk of the configuration scattered throughout the repository depending on how in-depth you'd like to get.
The majority of configuration can be found under `data/config.yaml`. An annotated example configuration is shown below.
```yaml {title="data/config.yaml"}
# The name to display in the footer
name: Jacky Zhao
# whether to globally show the table of contents on each page
# this can be turned off on a per-page basis by adding this to the
# front-matter of that note
enableToc: true
# whether to by-default open or close the table of contents on each page
openToc: false
# whether to display on-hover link preview cards
enableLinkPreview: true
# whether to render titles for code blocks
enableCodeBlockTitle: true
# whether to render copy buttons for code blocks
enableCodeBlockCopy: true
# whether to render callouts
enableCallouts: true
# whether to try to process Latex
enableLatex: true
# whether to enable single-page-app style rendering
# this prevents flashes of unstyled content and improves
# smoothness of Quartz. More info in issue #109 on GitHub
enableSPA: true
# whether to render a footer
enableFooter: true
# whether backlinks of pages should show the context in which
# they were mentioned
enableContextualBacklinks: true
# whether to show a section of recent notes on the home page
enableRecentNotes: false
# whether to display an 'edit' button next to the last edited field
**Note** that all generated favicon paths, defined by the `href`
attribute, are relative to the `static/` directory.
### Graph View
To customize the Interactive Graph view, you can poke around `data/graphConfig.yaml`.
```yaml {title="data/graphConfig.yaml"}
# if true, a Global Graph will be shown on home page with full width, no backlink.
# A different set of Local Graphs will be shown on sub pages.
# if false, Local Graph will be default on every page as usual
enableGlobalGraph: false
### Local Graph ###
localGraph:
# whether automatically generate a legend
enableLegend: false
# whether to allow dragging nodes in the graph
enableDrag: true
# whether to allow zooming and panning the graph
enableZoom: true
# how many neighbours of the current node to show (-1 is all nodes)
depth: 1
# initial zoom factor of the graph
scale: 1.2
# how strongly nodes should repel each other
repelForce: 2
# how strongly should nodes be attracted to the center of gravity
centerForce: 1
# what the default link length should be
linkDistance: 1
# how big the node labels should be
fontSize: 0.6
# scale at which to start fading the labes on nodes
opacityScale: 3
### Global Graph ###
globalGraph:
# same settings as above
### For all graphs ###
# colour specific nodes path off of their path
paths:
- /moc: "#4388cc"
```
## Styling
Want to go even more in-depth? You can add custom CSS styling and change existing colours through editing `assets/styles/custom.scss`. If you'd like to target specific parts of the site, you can add ids and classes to the HTML partials in `/layouts/partials`.
### Partials
Partials are what dictate what gets rendered to the page. Want to change how pages are styled and structured? You can edit the appropriate layout in `/layouts`.
For example, the structure of the home page can be edited through `/layouts/index.html`. To customize the footer, you can edit `/layouts/partials/footer.html`
More info about partials on [Hugo's website.](https://gohugo.io/templates/partials/)
Still having problems? Checkout our [FAQ and Troubleshooting guide](notes/troubleshooting.md).
## Language Support
[CJK + Latex Support (测试)](notes/CJK%20+%20Latex%20Support%20(测试).md) comes out of the box with Quartz.
Want to support languages that read from right-to-left (like Arabic)? Hugo (and by proxy, Quartz) supports this natively.
Follow the steps [Hugo provides here](https://gohugo.io/content-management/multilingual/#configure-languages) and modify your `config.toml`
This step is only applicable if you are using a **custom domain**! If you are using a `<YOUR-USERNAME>.github.io` domain, you can skip this step.
For this last bit to take effect, you also need to create a CNAME record with the DNS provider you register your domain with (i.e. NameCheap, Google Domains).
GitHub has some [documentation on this](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site), but the tldr; is to
1. Go to your forked repository (`github.com/<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>/quartz`) settings page and go to the Pages tab. Under "Custom domain", type your custom domain, then click **Save**.
2. Go to your DNS Provider and create a CNAME record that points from your domain to `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME.github.io.` (yes, with the trailing period).
*Example Configuration for Quartz*
3. Wait 30 minutes to an hour for the network changes to kick in.
Quartz runs on top of [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) so all notes are written in [Markdown](https://www.markdownguide.org/getting-started/).
### Folder Structure
Here's a rough overview of what's what.
**All content in your garden can found in the `/content` folder.** To make edits, you can open any of the files and make changes directly and save it. You can organize content into any folder you'd like.
**To edit the main home page, open `/content/_index.md`.**
To create a link between notes in your garden, just create a normal link using Markdown pointing to the document in question. Please note that **all links should be relative to the root `/content` path**.
```markdown
For example, I want to link this current document to `notes/config.md`.
[A link to the config page](notes/config.md)
```
Similarly, you can put local images anywhere in the `/content` folder.
```markdown
Example image (source is in content/notes/images/example.png)
You can also use wikilinks if that is what you are more comfortable with!
### Front Matter
Hugo is picky when it comes to metadata for files. Make sure that your title is double-quoted and that you have a title defined at the top of your file like so. You can also add tags here as well.
```yaml
---
title: "Example Title"
tags:
- example-tag
---
Rest of your content here...
```
### Obsidian
I recommend using [Obsidian](http://obsidian.md/) as a way to edit and grow your digital garden. It comes with a really nice editor and graphical interface to preview all of your local files.
This step is **highly recommended**.
> 🔗 Step 3: [How to setup your Obsidian Vault to work with Quartz](notes/obsidian.md)
## Previewing Changes
This step is purely optional and mostly for those who want to see the published version of their digital garden locally before opening it up to the internet. This is *highly recommended* but not required.
Quartz is designed to be effortless to deploy. If you forked and cloned Quartz directly from the repository, everything should already be good to go! Follow the steps below.
### Enable GitHub Actions
By default, GitHub disables workflows from running automatically on Forked Repostories. Head to the 'Actions' tab of your forked repository and Enable Workflows to setup deploying your Quartz site!
To see your changes on the internet, we need to push it them to GitHub. Quartz is a `git` repository so updating it is the same workflow as you would follow as if it were just a regular software project.
```shell
# Navigate to Quartz folder
cd <path-to-quartz>
# Commit all changes
git add .
git commit -m "message describing changes"
# Push to GitHub to update site
git push origin hugo
```
Note: we specifically push to the `hugo` branch here. Our GitHub action automatically runs everytime a push to is detected to that branch and then updates the `master` branch for redeployment.
### Setting up the Site
Now let's get this site up and running. Never hosted a site before? No problem. Have a fancy custom domain you already own or want to subdomain your Quartz? That's easy too.
Here, we take advantage of GitHub's free page hosting to deploy our site. Change `baseURL` in `/config.toml`.
If you are using this under a subdomain (e.g. `<YOUR-GITHUB-USERNAME>.github.io/quartz`), include the trailing `/`. **You need to do this especially if you are using GitHub!**
Edit `ignoreFiles` in `config.toml` to include paths you'd like to exclude from being rendered.
```toml
...
ignoreFiles = [
"/content/templates/*",
"/content/private/*",
"<yourpathhere>"
]
```
`ignoreFiles` supports the use of Regular Expressions (RegEx) so you can ignore patterns as well (e.g. ignoring all `.png`s by doing `\\.png$`).
To ignore a specific file, you can also add the tag `draft: true` to the frontmatter of a note.
```markdown
---
title: Some Private Note
draft: true
---
...
```
More details in [Hugo's documentation](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#ignore-content-and-data-files-when-rendering).
### Global Ignore
However, just adding to the `ignoreFiles` will only prevent the page from being access through Quartz. If you want to prevent the file from being pushed to GitHub (for example if you have a public repository), you need to also add the path to the `.gitignore` file at the root of the repository.
Obsidian is the preferred way to use Quartz. You can either create a new Obsidian Vault or link one that your already have.
### New Vault
If you don't have an existing Vault, [download Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) and create a new Vault in the `/content` folder that you created and cloned during the [setup](notes/setup.md) step.
### Linking an existing Vault
The easiest way to use an existing Vault is to copy all of your files (directory and hierarchies intact) into the `/content` folder.
## Settings
Great, now that you have your Obsidian linked to your Quartz, let's fix some settings so that they play well.
1. Under Options > Files and Links, set the New link format to always use Absolute Path in Vault.
2. Go to Settings > Files & Links > Turn "on" automatically update internal links.
Inserting front matter everytime you want to create a new Note gets annoying really quickly. Luckily, Obsidian supports templates which makes inserting new content really easily.
**If you decide to overwrite the `/content` folder completely, don't remove the `/content/templates` folder!**
Head over to Options > Core Plugins and enable the Templates plugin. Then go to Options > Hotkeys and set a hotkey for 'Insert Template' (I recommend `[cmd]+T`). That way, when you create a new note, you can just press the hotkey for a new template and be ready to go!

## Why Quartz?
Hosting a public digital garden isn't easy. There are an overwhelming number of tutorials, resources, and guides for tools like [Notion](https://www.notion.so/), [Roam](https://roamresearch.com/), and [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/), yet none of them have super easy to use *free* tools to publish that garden to the world.
I've personally found that
1. It's nice to access notes from anywhere
2. Having a public digital garden invites open conversations
3. It makes keeping personal notes and knowledge *playful and fun*
I was really inspired by [Bianca](https://garden.bianca.digital/) and [Joel](https://joelhooks.com/digital-garden)'s digital gardens and wanted to try making my own.
**The goal of Quartz is to make hosting your own public digital garden free and simple.** You don't even need your own website. Quartz does all of that for you and gives your own little corner of the internet.
If you'd like to preview what your Quartz site looks like before deploying it to the internet, here's exactly how to do that!
Note that both of these steps need to be completed.
## Install `hugo-obsidian`
This step will generate the list of backlinks for Hugo to parse. Ensure you have [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install) (>= 1.16) installed.
```bash
# Install and link `hugo-obsidian` locally
go install github.com/jackyzha0/hugo-obsidian@latest
```
If you are running into an error saying that `command not found: hugo-obsidian`, make sure you set your `GOPATH` correctly! This will allow your terminal to correctly recognize hugo-obsidian as an executable.
Afterwards, start the Hugo server as shown above and your local backlinks and interactive graph should be populated!
## Installing Hugo
Hugo is the static site generator that powers Quartz. [Install Hugo with "extended" Sass/SCSS version](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/) first. Then,
```bash
# Navigate to your local Quartz folder
cd <location-of-your-local-quartz>
# Start local server
make serve
# View your site in a browser at http://localhost:1313/
Quartz supports two modes of searching through content.
## Full-text
Full-text search is the default in Quartz. It produces results that *exactly* match the search query. This is easier to setup but usually produces lower quality matches.
```yaml {title="data/config.yaml"}
# the default option
enableSemanticSearch: false
```
## Natural Language
Natural language search is powered by [Operand](https://operand.ai/). It understands language like a person does and finds results that best match user intent. In this sense, it is closer to how Google Search works.
Natural language search tends to produce higher quality results than full-text search.
Here's how to set it up.
1. Create an Operand Account on [their website](https://operand.ai/).
2. Go to Dashboard > Settings > Integrations.
3. Follow the steps to setup the GitHub integration. Operand needs access to GitHub in order to index your digital garden properly!
4. Head over to Dashboard > Objects and press `(Cmd + K)` to open the omnibar and select 'Create Collection'.
1. Set the 'Collection Label' to something that will help you remember it.
2. You can leave the 'Parent Collection' field empty.
5. Click into your newly made Collection.
1. Press the 'share' button that looks like three dots connected by lines.
2. Set the 'Interface Type' to `object-search` and click 'Create'.
3. This will bring you to a new page with a search bar. Ignore this for now.
6. Go back to Dashboard > Settings > API Keys and find your Quartz-specific Operand API key under 'Other keys'.
1. Copy the key (which looks something like `0e733a7f-9b9c-48c6-9691-b54fa1c8b910`).
2. Open `data/config.yaml`. Set `enableSemanticSearch` to `true` and `operandApiKey` to your copied key.
7. Make a commit and push your changes to GitHub. See the [[notes/hosting|hosting]] page if you haven't done this already.
1. This step is *required* for Operand to be able to properly index your content.
2. Head over to Dashboard > Objects and select the collection that you made earlier
8. Press `(Cmd + K)` to open the omnibar again and select 'Create GitHub Repo'
1. Set the 'Repository Label' to `Quartz`
2. Set the 'Repository Owner' to your GitHub username
3. Set the 'Repository Ref' to `master`
4. Set the 'Repository Name' to the name of your repository (usually just `quartz` if you forked the repository without changing the name)
5. Leave 'Root Path' and 'Root URL' empty
9. Wait for your repository to index and enjoy natural language search in Quartz! Operand refreshes the index every 2h so all you need to do is just push to GitHub to update the contents in the search.
Setting up Quartz requires a basic understanding of `git`. If you are unfamiliar, [this resource](https://resources.nwplus.io/2-beginner/how-to-git-github.html) is a great place to start!
### Forking
> A fork is a copy of a repository. Forking a repository allows you to freely experiment with changes without affecting the original project.
Navigate to the GitHub repository for the Quartz project:
Then, Fork the repository into your own GitHub account. If you don't have an account, you can make on for free [here](https://github.com/join). More details about forking a repo can be found on [GitHub's documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/quickstart/fork-a-repo).
### Cloning
After you've made a fork of the repository, you need to download the files locally onto your machine. Ensure you have `git`, then type the following command replacing `YOUR-USERNAME` with your GitHub username.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/quartz
```
## Editing
Great! Now you have everything you need to start editing and growing your digital garden. If you're ready to start writing content already, check out the recommended flow for editing notes in Quartz.

Still having trouble? Here are a list of common questions and problems people encounter when installing Quartz.
While you're here, join our [Discord](https://discord.gg/cRFFHYye7t) :)
### Does Quartz have Latex support?
Yes! See [CJK + Latex Support (测试)](notes/CJK%20+%20Latex%20Support%20(测试).md) for a brief demo.
### Can I use \<Obsidian Plugin\> in Quartz?
Unless it produces direct Markdown output in the file, no. There currently is no way to bundle plugin code with Quartz.
The easiest way would be to add your own HTML partial that supports the functionality you are looking for.
### My GitHub pages is just showing the README and not Quartz
Make sure you set the source to deploy from `master` (and not `hugo`) using `/ (root)`! See more in the [hosting](/notes/hosting) guide
### Some of my pages have 'January 1, 0001' as the last modified date
This is a problem caused by `git` treating files as case-insensitive by default and some of your posts probably have capitalized file names. You can turn this off in your Quartz by running this command.
```shell
# in the root of your Quartz (same folder as config.toml)
git config core.ignorecase true
# or globally (not recommended)
git config --global core.ignorecase true
```
### Can I publish only a subset of my pages?
Yes! Quartz makes selective publishing really easy. Heres a guide on [excluding pages from being published](notes/ignore%20notes.md).
### Can I host this myself and not on GitHub Pages?
Yes! All built files can be found under `/public` in the `master` branch. More details under [hosting](notes/hosting.md).
### `command not found: hugo-obsidian`
Make sure you set your `GOPATH` correctly! This will allow your terminal to correctly recognize `hugo-obsidian` as an executable.
```shell
# Add the following 2 lines to your ~/.bash_profile
export GOPATH=/Users/$USER/go
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH
# In your current terminal, to reload the session
source ~/.bash_profile
```
### How come my notes aren't being rendered?
You probably forgot to include front matter in your Markdown files. You can either setup [Obsidian](notes/obsidian.md) to do this for you or you need to manually define it. More details in [the 'how to edit' guide](notes/editing.md).
### My custom domain isn't working!
Walk through the steps in [the hosting guide](notes/hosting.md) again. Make sure you wait 30 min to 1 hour for changes to take effect.
### How do I setup Google Analytics?
You can edit it in `config.toml` and either use a V3 (UA-) or V4 (G-) tag.
### How do I change the content on the home page?
To edit the main home page, open `/content/_index.md`.
### How do I change the colours?
You can change the theme by editing `assets/custom.scss`. More details on customization and themeing can be found in the [customization guide](notes/config.md).
### How do I add images?
You can put images anywhere in the `/content` folder.
```markdown
Example image (source is in content/notes/images/example.png)
### My Interactive Graph and Backlinks aren't up to date
By default, the `linkIndex.json` (which Quartz needs to generate the Interactive Graph and Backlinks) are not regenerated locally. To set that up, see the guide on [local editing](notes/editing.md)
### Can I use React/Vue/some other framework?
Not out of the box. You could probably make it work by editing `/layouts/_default/single.html` but that's not what Quartz is designed to work with. 99% of things you are trying to do with those frameworks you can accomplish perfectly fine using just vanilla HTML/CSS/JS.
## Still Stuck?
Quartz isn't perfect! If you're still having troubles, file an issue in the GitHub repo with as much information as you can reasonably provide. Alternatively, you can message me on [Twitter](https://twitter.com/_jzhao) and I'll try to get back to you as soon as I can.

Haven't updated Quartz in a while and want all the cool new optimizations? On Unix/Mac systems you can run the following command for a one-line update! This command will show you a log summary of all commits since you last updated, press `q` to acknowledge this. Then, it will show you each change in turn and press `y` to accept the patch or `n` to reject it. Usually you should press `y` for most of these unless it conflicts with existing changes you've made!

Quartz is a static site generator. How does it work?
This question is best answered by tracing what happens when a user (you!) runs `npx quartz build` in the command line:
## On the server
1. After running `npx quartz build`, npm will look at `package.json` to find the `bin` entry for `quartz` which points at `./quartz/bootstrap-cli.mjs`.
2. This file has a [shebang](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shebang_(Unix)>) line at the top which tells npm to execute it using Node.
3. `bootstrap-cli.mjs` is responsible for a few things:
1. Parsing the command-line arguments using [yargs](http://yargs.js.org/).
2. Transpiling and bundling the rest of Quartz (which is in Typescript) to regular JavaScript using [esbuild](https://esbuild.github.io/). The `esbuild` configuration here is slightly special as it also handles `.scss` file imports using [esbuild-sass-plugin v2](https://www.npmjs.com/package/esbuild-sass-plugin). Additionally, we bundle 'inline' client-side scripts (any `.inline.ts` file) that components declare using a custom `esbuild` plugin that runs another instance of `esbuild` which bundles for the browser instead of `node`. Modules of both types are imported as plain text.
3. Running the local preview server if `--serve` is set. This starts two servers:
1. A WebSocket server on port 3001 to handle hot-reload signals. This tracks all inbound connections and sends a 'rebuild' message a server-side change is detected (either content or configuration).
2. An HTTP file-server on a user defined port (normally 8080) to serve the actual website files.
4. If the `--serve` flag is set, it also starts a file watcher to detect source-code changes (e.g. anything that is `.ts`, `.tsx`, `.scss`, or packager files). On a change, we rebuild the module (step 2 above) using esbuild's [rebuild API](https://esbuild.github.io/api/#rebuild) which drastically reduces the build times.
5. After transpiling the main Quartz build module (`quartz/build.ts`), we write it to a cache file `.quartz-cache/transpiled-build.mjs` and then dynamically import this using `await import(cacheFile)`. However, we need to be pretty smart about how to bust Node's [import cache](https://github.com/nodejs/modules/issues/307) so we add a random query string to fake Node into thinking it's a new module. This does, however, cause memory leaks so we just hope that the user doesn't hot-reload their configuration too many times in a single session :)) (it leaks about ~350kB memory on each reload). After importing the module, we then invoke it, passing in the command line arguments we parsed earlier along with a callback function to signal the client to refresh.
4. In `build.ts`, we start by installing source map support manually to account for the query string cache busting hack we introduced earlier. Then, we start processing content:
1. Clean the output directory.
2. Recursively glob all files in the `content` folder, respecting the `.gitignore`.
3. Parse the Markdown files.
1. Quartz detects the number of threads available and chooses to spawn worker threads if there are >128 pieces of content to parse (rough heuristic). If it needs to spawn workers, it will invoke esbuild again to transpile the worker script `quartz/worker.ts`. Then, a work-stealing [workerpool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/workerpool) is then created and batches of 128 files are assigned to workers.
2. Each worker (or just the main thread if there is no concurrency) creates a [unified](https://github.com/unifiedjs/unified) parser based off of the plugins defined in the [[configuration]].
3. Parsing has three steps:
1. Read the file into a [vfile](https://github.com/vfile/vfile).
2. Applied plugin-defined text transformations over the content.
3. Slugify the file path and store it in the data for the file. See the page on [[paths]] for more details about how path logic works in Quartz (spoiler: its complicated).
4. Markdown parsing using [remark-parse](https://www.npmjs.com/package/remark-parse) (text to [mdast](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast)).
6. Convert Markdown into HTML using [remark-rehype](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-rehype) ([mdast](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast) to [hast](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast)).
1. Gather all the static resources (e.g. external CSS, JS modules, etc.) each emitter plugin declares.
2. Emitters that emit HTML files do a bit of extra work here as they need to transform the [hast](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast) produced in the parse step to JSX. This is done using [hast-util-to-jsx-runtime](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-jsx-runtime) with the [Preact](https://preactjs.com/) runtime. Finally, the JSX is rendered to HTML using [preact-render-to-string](https://github.com/preactjs/preact-render-to-string) which statically renders the JSX to HTML (i.e. doesn't care about `useState`, `useEffect`, or any other React/Preact interactive bits). Here, we also do a bunch of fun stuff like assemble the page [[layout]] from `quartz.layout.ts`, assemble all the inline scripts that actually get shipped to the client, and all the transpiled styles. The bulk of this logic can be found in `quartz/components/renderPage.tsx`. Other fun things of note:
1. CSS is minified and transformed using [Lightning CSS](https://github.com/parcel-bundler/lightningcss) to add vendor prefixes and do syntax lowering.
2. Scripts are split into `beforeDOMLoaded` and `afterDOMLoaded` and are inserted in the `<head>` and `<body>` respectively.
3. Finally, each emitter plugin is responsible for emitting and writing it's own emitted files to disk.
6. If the `--serve` flag was detected, we also set up another file watcher to detect content changes (only `.md` files). We keep a content map that tracks the parsed AST and plugin data for each slug and update this on file changes. Newly added or modified paths are rebuilt and added to the content map. Then, all the filters and emitters are run over the resulting content map. This file watcher is debounced with a threshold of 250ms. On success, we send a client refresh signal using the passed in callback function.
## On the client
1. The browser opens a Quartz page and loads the HTML. The `<head>` also links to page styles (emitted to `public/index.css`) and page-critical JS (emitted to `public/prescript.js`)
2. Then, once the body is loaded, the browser loads the non-critical JS (emitted to `public/postscript.js`)
3. Once the page is done loading, the page will then dispatch a custom synthetic browser event `"nav"`. This is used so client-side scripts declared by components can 'setup' anything that requires access to the page DOM.
1. If the [[SPA Routing|enableSPA option]] is enabled in the [[configuration]], this `"nav"` event is also fired on any client-navigation to allow for components to unregister and reregister any event handlers and state.
2. If it's not, we wire up the `"nav"` event to just be fired a single time after page load to allow for consistency across how state is setup across both SPA and non-SPA contexts.
The architecture and design of the plugin system was intentionally left pretty vague here as this is described in much more depth in the guide on [[making plugins|making your own plugin]].
> This guide assumes you have experience writing JavaScript and are familiar with TypeScript.
Normally on the web, we write layout code using HTML which looks something like the following:
```html
<article>
<h1>An article header</h1>
<p>Some content</p>
</article>
```
This piece of HTML represents an article with a leading header that says "An article header" and a paragraph that contains the text "Some content". This is combined with CSS to style the page and JavaScript to add interactivity.
However, HTML doesn't let you create reusable templates. If you wanted to create a new page, you would need to copy and paste the above snippet and edit the header and content yourself. This isn't great if we have a lot of content on our site that shares a lot of similar layout. The smart people who created React also had similar complaints and invented the concept of Components -- JavaScript functions that return JSX -- to solve the code duplication problem.
In effect, components allow you to write a JavaScript function that takes some data and produces HTML as an output. **While Quartz doesn't use React, it uses the same component concept to allow you to easily express layout templates in your Quartz site.**
## An Example Component
### Constructor
Component files are written in `.tsx` files that live in the `quartz/components` folder. These are re-exported in `quartz/components/index.ts` so you can use them in layouts and other components more easily.
Each component file should have a default export that satisfies the `QuartzComponentConstructor` function signature. It's a function that takes in a single optional parameter `opts` and returns a Quartz Component. The type of the parameters `opts` is defined by the interface `Options` which you as the component creator also decide.
In your component, you can use the values from the configuration option to change the rendering behaviour inside of your component. For example, the component in the code snippet below will not render if the `favouriteNumber` option is below 0.
```tsx {11-17}
interface Options {
favouriteNumber: number
}
const defaultOptions: Options = {
favouriteNumber: 42,
}
export default ((userOpts?: Options) => {
const opts = { ...userOpts, ...defaultOpts }
function YourComponent(props: QuartzComponentProps) {
if (opts.favouriteNumber <0){
return null
}
return <p>My favourite number is {opts.favouriteNumber}</p>
}
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```
### Props
The Quartz component itself (lines 11-17 highlighted above) looks like a React component. It takes in properties (sometimes called [props](https://react.dev/learn/passing-props-to-a-component)) and returns JSX.
All Quartz components accept the same set of props:
```tsx title="quartz/components/types.ts"
// simplified for sake of demonstration
export type QuartzComponentProps = {
fileData: QuartzPluginData
cfg: GlobalConfiguration
tree: Node<QuartzPluginData>
allFiles: QuartzPluginData[]
displayClass?: "mobile-only" | "desktop-only"
}
```
- `fileData`: Any metadata [[making plugins|plugins]] may have added to the current page.
- `fileData.slug`: slug of the current page.
- `fileData.frontmatter`: any frontmatter parsed.
- `cfg`: The `configuration` field in `quartz.config.ts`.
- `tree`: the resulting [HTML AST](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast) after processing and transforming the file. This is useful if you'd like to render the content using [hast-util-to-jsx-runtime](https://github.com/syntax-tree/hast-util-to-jsx-runtime) (you can find an example of this in `quartz/components/pages/Content.tsx`).
- `allFiles`: Metadata for all files that have been parsed. Useful for doing page listings or figuring out the overall site structure.
- `displayClass`: a utility class that indicates a preference from the user about how to render it in a mobile or desktop setting. Helpful if you want to conditionally hide a component on mobile or desktop.
### Styling
Quartz components can also define a `.css` property on the actual function component which will get picked up by Quartz. This is expected to be a CSS string which can either be inlined or imported from a `.scss` file.
Note that inlined styles **must** be plain vanilla CSS:
// assuming your stylesheet is in quartz/components/styles/YourComponent.scss
import styles from "./styles/YourComponent.scss"
export default (() => {
function YourComponent() {
return <p>Example Component</p>
}
YourComponent.css = styles
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```
> [!warning]
> Quartz does not use CSS modules so any styles you declare here apply _globally_. If you only want it to apply to your component, make sure you use specific class names and selectors.
### Scripts and Interactivity
What about interactivity? Suppose you want to add an-click handler for example. Like the `.css` property on the component, you can also declare `.beforeDOMLoaded` and `.afterDOMLoaded` properties that are strings that contain the script.
> For those coming from React, Quartz components are different from React components in that it only uses JSX for templating and layout. Hooks like `useEffect`, `useState`, etc. are not rendered and other properties that accept functions like `onClick` handlers will not work. Instead, do it using a regular JS script that modifies the DOM element directly.
As the names suggest, the `.beforeDOMLoaded` scripts are executed _before_ the page is done loading so it doesn't have access to any elements on the page. This is mostly used to prefetch any critical data.
The `.afterDOMLoaded` script executes once the page has been completely loaded. This is a good place to setup anything that should last for the duration of a site visit (e.g. getting something saved from local storage).
If you need to create an `afterDOMLoaded` script that depends on _page specific_ elements that may change when navigating to a new page, you can listen for the `"nav"` event that gets fired whenever a page loads (which may happen on navigation if [[SPA Routing]] is enabled).
```ts
document.addEventListener("nav", () => {
// do page specific logic here
// e.g. attach event listeners
const toggleSwitch = document.querySelector("#switch") as HTMLInputElement
Additionally, like what is shown in the example above, you can import packages in `.inline.ts` files. This will be bundled by Quartz and included in the actual script.
### Using a Component
After creating your custom component, re-export it in `quartz/components/index.ts`:
Then, you can use it like any other component in `quartz.layout.ts` via `Component.YourComponent()`. See the [[configuration#Layout|layout]] section for more details.
As Quartz components are just functions that return React components, you can compositionally use them in other Quartz components.
> This part of the documentation will assume you have working knowledge in TypeScript and will include code snippets that describe the interface of what Quartz plugins should look like.
Quartz's plugins are a series of transformations over content. This is illustrated in the diagram of the processing pipeline below:
![[quartz transform pipeline.png]]
All plugins are defined as a function that takes in a single parameter for options `type OptionType = object | undefined` and return an object that corresponds to the type of plugin it is.
```ts
type OptionType = object | undefined
type QuartzPlugin<OptionsextendsOptionType =undefined> = (opts?: Options) => QuartzPluginInstance
type QuartzPluginInstance =
| QuartzTransformerPluginInstance
| QuartzFilterPluginInstance
| QuartzEmitterPluginInstance
```
The following sections will go into detail for what methods can be implemented for each plugin type. Before we do that, let's clarify a few more ambiguous types:
- `BuildCtx` is defined in `quartz/ctx.ts`. It consists of
- `argv`: The command line arguments passed to the Quartz [[build]] command
- `cfg`: The full Quartz [[configuration]]
- `allSlugs`: a list of all the valid content slugs (see [[paths]] for more information on what a slug is)
- `StaticResources` is defined in `quartz/resources.tsx`. It consists of
- `css`: a list of CSS style definitions that should be loaded. A CSS style is described with the `CSSResource` type which is also defined in `quartz/resources.tsx`. It accepts either a source URL or the inline content of the stylesheet.
- `js`: a list of scripts that should be loaded. A script is described with the `JSResource` type which is also defined in `quartz/resources.tsx`. It allows you to define a load time (either before or after the DOM has been loaded), whether it should be a module, and either the source URL or the inline content of the script.
- `additionalHead`: a list of JSX elements or functions that return JSX elements to be added to the `<head>` tag of the page. Functions receive the page's data as an argument and can conditionally render elements.
## Transformers
Transformers **map** over content, taking a Markdown file and outputting modified content or adding metadata to the file itself.
All transformer plugins must define at least a `name` field to register the plugin and a few optional functions that allow you to hook into various parts of transforming a single Markdown file.
- `textTransform` performs a text-to-text transformation _before_ a file is parsed into the [Markdown AST](https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast).
- `markdownPlugins` defines a list of [remark plugins](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark/blob/main/doc/plugins.md). `remark` is a tool that transforms Markdown to Markdown in a structured way.
- `htmlPlugins` defines a list of [rehype plugins](https://github.com/rehypejs/rehype/blob/main/doc/plugins.md). Similar to how `remark` works, `rehype` is a tool that transforms HTML to HTML in a structured way.
- `externalResources` defines any external resources the plugin may need to load on the client-side for it to work properly.
Normally for both `remark` and `rehype`, you can find existing plugins that you can use to . If you'd like to create your own `remark` or `rehype` plugin, checkout the [guide to creating a plugin](https://unifiedjs.com/learn/guide/create-a-plugin/) using `unified` (the underlying AST parser and transformer library).
A good example of a transformer plugin that borrows from the `remark` and `rehype` ecosystems is the [[plugins/Latex|Latex]] plugin:
// tell typescript about our custom data fields we are adding
// other plugins will then also be aware of this data field
declare module "vfile" {
interface DataMap {
wordcount: number
}
}
```
Finally, you can also perform transformations over Markdown or HTML ASTs using the `visit` function from the `unist-util-visit` package or the `findAndReplace` function from the `mdast-util-find-and-replace` package.
// inner is the text inside of the () of the regex
const [inner] = capture
// return an mdast node
// https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast
return {
type: "emphasis",
children: [{ type: 'text', value: inner }]
}
})
// remove all links (replace with just the link content)
// match by 'type' field on an mdast node
// https://github.com/syntax-tree/mdast#link in this example
visit(tree, "link", (link: Link) => {
return {
type: "paragraph"
children: [{ type: 'text', value: link.title }]
}
})
}
}]
}
}
}
```
All transformer plugins can be found under `quartz/plugins/transformers`. If you decide to write your own transformer plugin, don't forget to re-export it under `quartz/plugins/transformers/index.ts`
A parting word: transformer plugins are quite complex so don't worry if you don't get them right away. Take a look at the built in transformers and see how they operate over content to get a better sense for how to accomplish what you are trying to do.
## Filters
Filters **filter** content, taking the output of all the transformers and determining what files to actually keep and what to discard.
```ts
export type QuartzFilterPlugin<OptionsextendsOptionType =undefined> = (
A filter plugin must define a `name` field and a `shouldPublish` function that takes in a piece of content that has been processed by all the transformers and returns a `true` or `false` depending on whether it should be passed to the emitter plugins or not.
For example, here is the built-in plugin for removing drafts:
An emitter plugin must define a `name` field, an `emit` function, and a `getQuartzComponents` function. It can optionally implement a `partialEmit` function for incremental builds.
- `emit` is responsible for looking at all the parsed and filtered content and then appropriately creating files and returning a list of paths to files the plugin created.
- `partialEmit` is an optional function that enables incremental builds. It receives information about which files have changed (`changeEvents`) and can selectively rebuild only the necessary files. This is useful for optimizing build times in development mode. If `partialEmit` is undefined, it will default to the `emit` function.
- `getQuartzComponents` declares which Quartz components the emitter uses to construct its pages.
Creating new files can be done via regular Node [fs module](https://nodejs.org/api/fs.html) (i.e. `fs.cp` or `fs.writeFile`) or via the `write` function in `quartz/plugins/emitters/helpers.ts` if you are creating files that contain text. `write` has the following signature:
```ts
export type WriteOptions = (data: {
// the build context
ctx: BuildCtx
// the name of the file to emit (not including the file extension)
slug: FullSlug
// the file extension
ext: `.${string}` | ""
// the file content to add
content: string
}) => Promise<FilePath>
```
This is a thin wrapper around writing to the appropriate output folder and ensuring that intermediate directories exist. If you choose to use the native Node `fs` APIs, ensure you emit to the `argv.output` folder as well.
If you are creating an emitter plugin that needs to render components, there are three more things to be aware of:
- Your component should use `getQuartzComponents` to declare a list of `QuartzComponents` that it uses to construct the page. See the page on [[creating components]] for more information.
- You can use the `renderPage` function defined in `quartz/components/renderPage.tsx` to render Quartz components into HTML.
- If you need to render an HTML AST to JSX, you can use the `htmlToJsx` function from `quartz/util/jsx.ts`. An example of this can be found in `quartz/components/pages/Content.tsx`.
For example, the following is a simplified version of the content page plugin that renders every single page.
Note that it takes in a `FullPageLayout` as the options. It's made by combining a `SharedLayout` and a `PageLayout` both of which are provided through the `quartz.layout.ts` file.
> [!hint]
> Look in `quartz/plugins` for more examples of plugins in Quartz as reference for your own plugins!
Paths are pretty complex to reason about because, especially for a static site generator, they can come from so many places.
A full file path to a piece of content? Also a path. What about a slug for a piece of content? Yet another path.
It would be silly to type these all as `string` and call it a day as it's pretty common to accidentally mistake one type of path for another. Unfortunately, TypeScript does not have [nominal types](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nominal_type_system) for type aliases meaning even if you made custom types of a server-side slug or a client-slug slug, you can still accidentally assign one to another and TypeScript wouldn't catch it.
Luckily, we can mimic nominal typing using [brands](https://www.typescriptlang.org/play#example/nominal-typing).
```typescript
// instead of
type FullSlug = string
// we do
type FullSlug = string & { __brand: "full" }
// that way, the following will fail typechecking
const slug: FullSlug = "some random string"
```
While this prevents most typing mistakes _within_ our nominal typing system (e.g. mistaking a server slug for a client slug), it doesn't prevent us from _accidentally_ mistaking a string for a client slug when we forcibly cast it.
Thus, we still need to be careful when casting from a string to one of these nominal types in the 'entrypoints', illustrated with hexagon shapes in the diagram below.
The following diagram draws the relationships between all the path sources, nominal path types, and what functions in `quartz/path.ts` convert between them.
Here are the main types of slugs with a rough description of each type of path:
- `FilePath`: a real file path to a file on disk. Cannot be relative and must have a file extension.
- `FullSlug`: cannot be relative and may not have leading or trailing slashes. It can have `index` as it's last segment. Use this wherever possible is it's the most 'general' interpretation of a slug.
- `SimpleSlug`: cannot be relative and shouldn't have `/index` as an ending or a file extension. It _can_ however have a trailing slash to indicate a folder path.
- `RelativeURL`: must start with `.` or `..` to indicate it's a relative URL. Shouldn't have `/index` as an ending or a file extension but can contain a trailing slash.
To get a clearer picture of how these relate to each other, take a look at the path tests in `quartz/util/path.test.ts`.
All of the content in your Quartz should go in the`/content`folder. The content for the home page of your Quartz lives in `content/index.md`. If you've [[index#🪴 Get Started|setup Quartz]] already, this folder should already be initialized. Any Markdown in this folder will get processed by Quartz.
It is recommended that you use [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) as a way to edit and maintain your Quartz. It comes with a nice editor and graphical interface to preview, edit, and link your local files and attachments.
Got everything setup? Let's [[build]] and preview your Quartz locally!
## Syntax
As Quartz uses Markdown files as the main way of writing content, it fully supports Markdown syntax. By default, Quartz also ships with a few syntax extensions like [Github Flavored Markdown](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax) (footnotes, strikethrough, tables, tasklists) and [Obsidian Flavored Markdown](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Obsidian+Flavored+Markdown) ([[callouts]], [[wikilinks]]).
Additionally, Quartz also allows you to specify additional metadata in your notes called **frontmatter**.
```md title="content/note.md"
---
title: Example Title
draft: false
tags:
- example-tag
---
The rest of your content lives here. You can use **Markdown** here :)
```
Some common frontmatter fields that are natively supported by Quartz:
- `title`: Title of the page. If it isn't provided, Quartz will use the name of the file as the title.
- `description`: Description of the page used for link previews.
- `permalink`: A custom URL for the page that will remain constant even if the path to the file changes.
- `aliases`: Other names for this note. This is a list of strings.
- `tags`: Tags for this note.
- `draft`: Whether to publish the page or not. This is one way to make [[private pages|pages private]] in Quartz.
- `date`: A string representing the day the note was published. Normally uses `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
See [[Frontmatter]] for a complete list of frontmatter.
## Syncing your Content
When your Quartz is at a point you're happy with, you can save your changes to GitHub.
First, make sure you've [[setting up your GitHub repository|already setup your GitHub repository]] and then do `npx quartz sync`.
## Customization
Frontmatter parsing for `title`, `tags`, `aliases` and `cssclasses` is a functionality of the [[Frontmatter]] plugin, `date` is handled by the [[CreatedModifiedDate]] plugin and `description` by the [[Description]] plugin. See the plugin pages for customization options.
Quartz is meant to be extremely configurable, even if you don't know any coding. Most of the configuration you should need can be done by just editing `quartz.config.ts` or changing [[layout|the layout]] in `quartz.layout.ts`.
> [!tip]
> If you edit Quartz configuration using a text-editor that has TypeScript language support like VSCode, it will warn you when you you've made an error in your configuration, helping you avoid configuration mistakes!
The configuration of Quartz can be broken down into two main parts:
```ts title="quartz.config.ts"
const config: QuartzConfig = {
configuration: { ... },
plugins: { ... },
}
```
## General Configuration
This part of the configuration concerns anything that can affect the whole site. The following is a list breaking down all the things you can configure:
- `pageTitle`: title of the site. This is also used when generating the [[RSS Feed]] for your site.
- `pageTitleSuffix`: a string added to the end of the page title. This only applies to the browser tab title, not the title shown at the top of the page.
- `enableSPA`: whether to enable [[SPA Routing]] on your site.
- `enablePopovers`: whether to enable [[popover previews]] on your site.
- `analytics`: what to use for analytics on your site. Values can be
- `null`: don't use analytics;
- `{ provider: 'google', tagId: '<your-google-tag>' }`: use Google Analytics;
- `{ provider: 'plausible' }` (managed) or `{ provider: 'plausible', host: '<your-plausible-host>' }` (self-hosted): use [Plausible](https://plausible.io/);
- `{ provider: 'tinylytics', siteId: '<your-site-id>' }`: use [Tinylytics](https://tinylytics.app/);
- `{ provider: 'cabin' }` or `{ provider: 'cabin', host: 'https://cabin.example.com' }` (custom domain): use [Cabin](https://withcabin.com);
- `{provider: 'clarity', projectId: '<your-clarity-id-code' }`: use [Microsoft clarity](https://clarity.microsoft.com/). The project id can be found on top of the overview page.
- `locale`: used for [[i18n]] and date formatting
- `baseUrl`: this is used for sitemaps and RSS feeds that require an absolute URL to know where the canonical 'home' of your site lives. This is normally the deployed URL of your site (e.g. `quartz.jzhao.xyz` for this site). Do not include the protocol (i.e. `https://`) or any leading or trailing slashes.
- This should also include the subpath if you are [[hosting]] on GitHub pages without a custom domain. For example, if my repository is `jackyzha0/quartz`, GitHub pages would deploy to `https://jackyzha0.github.io/quartz` and the `baseUrl` would be `jackyzha0.github.io/quartz`.
- Note that Quartz 4 will avoid using this as much as possible and use relative URLs whenever it can to make sure your site works no matter _where_ you end up actually deploying it.
- `ignorePatterns`: a list of [glob](<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glob_(programming)>) patterns that Quartz should ignore and not search through when looking for files inside the `content` folder. See [[private pages]] for more details.
- `defaultDateType`: whether to use created, modified, or published as the default date to display on pages and page listings.
- `theme`: configure how the site looks.
- `cdnCaching`: if `true` (default), use Google CDN to cache the fonts. This will generally be faster. Disable (`false`) this if you want Quartz to download the fonts to be self-contained.
- `typography`: what fonts to use. Any font available on [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/) works here.
- `title`: font for the title of the site (optional, same as `header` by default)
- `header`: font to use for headers
- `code`: font for inline and block quotes
- `body`: font for everything
- `colors`: controls the theming of the site.
- `light`: page background
- `lightgray`: borders
- `gray`: graph links, heavier borders
- `darkgray`: body text
- `dark`: header text and icons
- `secondary`: link colour, current [[graph view|graph]] node
- `tertiary`: hover states and visited [[graph view|graph]] nodes
- `highlight`: internal link background, highlighted text, [[syntax highlighting|highlighted lines of code]]
- `textHighlight`: markdown highlighted text background
## Plugins
You can think of Quartz plugins as a series of transformations over content.
![[quartz transform pipeline.png]]
```ts title="quartz.config.ts"
plugins: {
transformers: [...],
filters: [...],
emitters: [...],
}
```
- [[tags/plugin/transformer|Transformers]] **map** over content (e.g. parsing frontmatter, generating a description)
- [[tags/plugin/filter|Filters]] **filter** content (e.g. filtering out drafts)
- [[tags/plugin/emitter|Emitters]] **reduce** over content (e.g. creating an RSS feed or pages that list all files with a specific tag)
You can customize the behaviour of Quartz by adding, removing and reordering plugins in the `transformers`, `filters` and `emitters` fields.
> [!note]
> Each node is modified by every transformer _in order_. Some transformers are position sensitive, so you may need to pay particular attention to whether they need to come before or after certain other plugins.
You should take care to add the plugin to the right entry corresponding to its plugin type. For example, to add the [[ExplicitPublish]] plugin (a [[tags/plugin/filter|Filter]]), you would add the following line:
```ts title="quartz.config.ts"
filters: [
...
Plugin.ExplicitPublish(),
...
],
```
To remove a plugin, you should remove all occurrences of it in the `quartz.config.ts`.
To customize plugins further, some plugins may also have their own configuration settings that you can pass in. If you do not pass in a configuration, the plugin will use its default settings.
For example, the [[plugins/Latex|Latex]] plugin allows you to pass in a field specifying the `renderEngine` to choose between Katex and MathJax.
```ts title="quartz.config.ts"
transformers: [
Plugin.FrontMatter(), // use default options
Plugin.Latex({ renderEngine: "katex" }), // set some custom options
]
```
Some plugins are included by default in the [`quartz.config.ts`](https://github.com/jackyzha0/quartz/blob/v4/quartz.config.ts), but there are more available.
You can see a list of all plugins and their configuration options [[tags/plugin|here]].
If you'd like to make your own plugins, see the [[making plugins|making custom plugins]] guide.
## Fonts
Fonts can be specified as a `string` or a `FontSpecification`:
Quartz uses [rehype-citation](https://github.com/timlrx/rehype-citation) to support parsing of a BibTex bibliography file.
Under the default configuration, a citation key `[@templeton2024scaling]` will be exported as `(Templeton et al., 2024)`.
> [!example]- BibTex file
>
> ```bib title="bibliography.bib"
> @article{templeton2024scaling,
> title={Scaling Monosemanticity: Extracting Interpretable Features from Claude 3 Sonnet},
> author={Templeton, Adly and Conerly, Tom and Marcus, Jonathan and Lindsey, Jack and Bricken, Trenton and Chen, Brian and Pearce, Adam and Citro, Craig and Ameisen, Emmanuel and Jones, Andy and Cunningham, Hoagy and Turner, Nicholas L and McDougall, Callum and MacDiarmid, Monte and Freeman, C. Daniel and Sumers, Theodore R. and Rees, Edward and Batson, Joshua and Jermyn, Adam and Carter, Shan and Olah, Chris and Henighan, Tom},
> By default, the references will be included at the end of the file. To control where the references to be included, uses `[^ref]`
>
> Refer to `rehype-citation` docs for more information.
## Customization
Citation parsing is a functionality of the [[plugins/Citations|Citation]] plugin. **This plugin is not enabled by default**. See the plugin page for customization options.
Quartz uses [Katex](https://katex.org/) by default to typeset both inline and block math expressions at build time.
## Syntax
### Block Math
Block math can be rendered by delimiting math expression with `$$`.
```
$$
f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
f\hat(\xi),e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
\,d\xi
$$
```
$$
f(x) = \int_{-\infty}^\infty
f\hat(\xi),e^{2 \pi i \xi x}
\,d\xi
$$
$$
\begin{aligned}
a &= b + c \\ &= e + f \\
\end{aligned}
$$
$$
\begin{bmatrix}
1 & 2 & 3 \\
a & b & c
\end{bmatrix}
$$
$$
\begin{array}{rll}
E \psi &= H\psi & \text{Expanding the Hamiltonian Operator} \\
&= -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}\frac{\partial^2}{\partial x^2} \psi + \frac{1}{2}m\omega x^2 \psi & \text{Using the ansatz $\psi(x) = e^{-kx^2}f(x)$, hoping to cancel the $x^2$ term} \\
&= -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} [4k^2x^2f(x)+2(-2kx)f'(x) + f''(x)]e^{-kx^2} + \frac{1}{2}m\omega x^2 f(x)e^{-kx^2} &\text{Removing the $e^{-kx^2}$ term from both sides} \\
& \Downarrow \\
Ef(x) &= -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} [4k^2x^2f(x)-4kxf'(x) + f''(x)] + \frac{1}{2}m\omega x^2 f(x) & \text{Choosing $k=\frac{im}{2}\sqrt{\frac{\omega}{\hbar}}$ to cancel the $x^2$ term, via $-\frac{\hbar^2}{2m}4k^2=\frac{1}{2}m \omega$} \\
&= -\frac{\hbar^2}{2m} [-4kxf'(x) + f''(x)] \\
\end{array}
$$
> [!warn]
> Due to limitations in the [underlying parsing library](https://github.com/remarkjs/remark-math), block math in Quartz requires the `$$` delimiters to be on newlines like above.
### Inline Math
Similarly, inline math can be rendered by delimiting math expression with a single `$`. For example, `$e^{i\pi} = -1$` produces $e^{i\pi} = -1$
### Escaping symbols
There will be cases where you may have more than one `$` in a paragraph at once which may accidentally trigger MathJax/Katex.
To get around this, you can escape the dollar sign by doing `\$` instead.
For example:
- Incorrect: `I have $1 and you have $2` produces I have $1 and you have $2
- Correct: `I have \$1 and you have \$2` produces I have \$1 and you have \$2
### Using mhchem
Add the following import to the top of `quartz/plugins/transformers/latex.ts` (before all the other
Quartz supports Mermaid which allows you to add diagrams and charts to your notes. Mermaid supports a range of diagrams, such as[flow charts](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/flowchart.html),[sequence diagrams](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/sequenceDiagram.html), and[timelines](https://mermaid.js.org/syntax/timeline.html). This is enabled as a part of [[Obsidian compatibility]] and can be configured and enabled/disabled from that plugin.
By default, Quartz will render Mermaid diagrams to match the site theme.
> [!warning]
> Wondering why Mermaid diagrams may not be showing up even if you have them enabled? You may need to reorder your plugins so that [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]] is _after_ [[SyntaxHighlighting]].
## Syntax
To add a Mermaid diagram, create a mermaid code block.
Quartz was originally designed as a tool to publish Obsidian vaults as websites. Even as the scope of Quartz has widened over time, it hasn't lost the ability to seamlessly interoperate with Obsidian.
By default, Quartz ships with the [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin, which is a transformer plugin that adds support for [Obsidian Flavored Markdown](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Obsidian+Flavored+Markdown). This includes support for features like [[wikilinks]] and [[Mermaid diagrams]].
It also ships with support for [frontmatter parsing](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Properties) with the same fields that Obsidian uses through the [[Frontmatter]] transformer plugin.
Finally, Quartz also provides [[CrawlLinks]] plugin, which allows you to customize Quartz's link resolution behaviour to match Obsidian.
## Configuration
This functionality is provided by the [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]], [[Frontmatter]] and [[CrawlLinks]] plugins. See the plugin pages for customization options.
[org-roam](https://www.orgroam.com/) is a plain-text personal knowledge management system for [emacs](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emacs). [ox-hugo](https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo) is org exporter backend that exports `org-mode` files to [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) compatible Markdown.
Because the Markdown generated by ox-hugo is not pure Markdown but Hugo specific, we need to transform it to fit into Quartz. This is done by the [[OxHugoFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin. Even though this plugin was written with `ox-hugo` in mind, it should work for any Hugo specific Markdown.
```typescript title="quartz.config.ts"
plugins: {
transformers: [
Plugin.FrontMatter({ delims: "+++", language: "toml" }), // if toml frontmatter
// ...
Plugin.OxHugoFlavouredMarkdown(),
Plugin.GitHubFlavoredMarkdown(),
// ...
],
},
```
## Usage
Quartz by default doesn't understand `org-roam` files as they aren't Markdown. You're responsible for using an external tool like `ox-hugo` to export the `org-roam` files as Markdown content to Quartz and managing the static assets so that they're available in the final output.
## Configuration
This functionality is provided by the [[OxHugoFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
Quartz emits an RSS feed for all the content on your site by generating an `index.xml` file that RSS readers can subscribe to. Because of the RSS spec, this requires the `baseUrl` property in your [[configuration]] to be set properly for RSS readers to pick it up properly.
> [!info]
> After deploying, the generated RSS link will be available at `https://${baseUrl}/index.xml` by default.
>
> The `index.xml` path can be customized by passing the `rssSlug` option to the [[ContentIndex]] plugin.
## Configuration
This functionality is provided by the [[ContentIndex]] plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
[Roam Research](https://roamresearch.com) is a note-taking tool that organizes your knowledge graph in a unique and interconnected way.
Quartz supports transforming the special Markdown syntax from Roam Research (like `{{[[components]]}}` and other formatting) into
regular Markdown via the [[RoamFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin.
```typescript title="quartz.config.ts"
plugins: {
transformers: [
// ...
Plugin.RoamFlavoredMarkdown(),
Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown(),
// ...
],
},
```
> [!warning]
> As seen above placement of `Plugin.RoamFlavoredMarkdown()` within `quartz.config.ts` is very important. It must come before `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown()`.
## Customization
This functionality is provided by the [[RoamFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
Single-page-app style rendering. This prevents flashes of unstyled content and improves the smoothness of Quartz.
Under the hood, this is done by hijacking page navigations and instead fetching the HTML via a `GET` request and then diffing and selectively replacing parts of the page using [micromorph](https://github.com/natemoo-re/micromorph). This allows us to change the content of the page without fully refreshing the page, reducing the amount of content that the browser needs to load.
## Configuration
- Disable SPA Routing: set the `enableSPA` field of the [[configuration]] in `quartz.config.ts` to be `false`.
A backlink for a note is a link from another note to that note. Links in the backlink pane also feature rich [[popover previews]] if you have that feature enabled.
## Customization
- Removing backlinks: delete all usages of `Component.Backlinks()` from `quartz.layout.ts`.
- Hide when empty: hide `Backlinks` if given page doesn't contain any backlinks (default to `true`). To disable this, use `Component.Backlinks({ hideWhenEmpty: false })`.
Quartz supports the same Admonition-callout syntax as Obsidian.
This includes
- 12 Distinct callout types (each with several aliases)
- Collapsable callouts
```
> [!info] Title
> This is a callout!
```
See[documentation on supported types and syntax here](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Callouts).
> [!warning]
> Wondering why callouts may not be showing up even if you have them enabled? You may need to reorder your plugins so that [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]] is _after_ [[SyntaxHighlighting]].
## Customization
The callouts are a functionality of the [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]] plugin. See the plugin page for how to enable or disable them.
You can edit the icons by customizing `quartz/styles/callouts.scss`.
### Add custom callouts
By default, custom callouts are handled by applying the `note` style. To make fancy ones, you have to add these lines to `custom.scss`.
> Don't forget to ensure that the SVG is URL encoded before putting it in the CSS. You can use tools like [this one](https://yoksel.github.io/url-encoder/) to help you do that.
## Showcase

Quartz also has the ability to hook into various providers to enable readers to leave comments on your site.
![[giscus-example.png]]
As of today, only [Giscus](https://giscus.app/) is supported out of the box but PRs to support other providers are welcome!
## Providers
### Giscus
First, make sure that the [[setting up your GitHub repository|GitHub]] repository you are using for your Quartz meets the following requirements:
1. The**repository is[public](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/managing-repository-settings/setting-repository-visibility#making-a-repository-public)**, otherwise visitors will not be able to view the discussion.
2. The**[giscus](https://github.com/apps/giscus)app is installed**, otherwise visitors will not be able to comment and react.
3. The**Discussions feature is turned on**by[enabling it for your repository](https://docs.github.com/en/github/administering-a-repository/managing-repository-settings/enabling-or-disabling-github-discussions-for-a-repository).
Then, use the [Giscus site](https://giscus.app/#repository) to figure out what your `repoId` and `categoryId` should be. Make sure you select `Announcements` for the Discussion category.
![[giscus-repo.png]]
![[giscus-discussion.png]]
After entering both your repository and selecting the discussion category, Giscus will compute some IDs that you'll need to provide back to Quartz. You won't need to manually add the script yourself as Quartz will handle that part for you but will need these values in the next step!
![[giscus-results.png]]
Finally, in `quartz.layout.ts`, edit the `afterBody` field of `sharedPageComponents` to include the following options but with the values you got from above:
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
afterBody: [
Component.Comments({
provider: 'giscus',
options: {
// from data-repo
repo: 'jackyzha0/quartz',
// from data-repo-id
repoId: 'MDEwOlJlcG9zaXRvcnkzODcyMTMyMDg',
// from data-category
category: 'Announcements',
// from data-category-id
categoryId: 'DIC_kwDOFxRnmM4B-Xg6',
}
}),
],
```
### Customization
Quartz also exposes a few of the other Giscus options as well and you can provide them the same way `repo`, `repoId`, `category`, and `categoryId` are provided.
```ts
type Options = {
provider: "giscus"
options: {
repo: `${string}/${string}`
repoId: string
category: string
categoryId: string
// Url to folder with custom themes
// defaults to 'https://${cfg.baseUrl}/static/giscus'
// where to put the comment input box relative to the comments
// defaults to 'bottom'
inputPosition?: "top" | "bottom"
}
}
```
#### Custom CSS theme
Quartz supports custom theme for Giscus. To use a custom CSS theme, place the `.css` file inside the `quartz/static` folder and set the configuration values.
For example, if you have a light theme `light-theme.css`, a dark theme `dark-theme.css`, and your Quartz site is hosted at `https://example.com/`:
```ts
afterBody: [
Component.Comments({
provider: 'giscus',
options: {
// Other options
themeUrl: "https://example.com/static/giscus", // corresponds to quartz/static/giscus/
lightTheme: "light-theme", // corresponds to light-theme.css in quartz/static/giscus/
darkTheme: "dark-theme", // corresponds to dark-theme.css quartz/static/giscus/
}
}),
],
```
#### Conditionally display comments
Quartz can conditionally display the comment box based on a field `comments` in the frontmatter. By default, all pages will display comments, to disable it for a specific page, set `comments` to `false`.
Quartz supports darkmode out of the box that respects the user's theme preference. Any future manual toggles of the darkmode switch will be saved in the browser's local storage so it can be persisted across future page loads.
## Customization
- Removing darkmode: delete all usages of `Component.Darkmode()` from `quartz.layout.ts`.
Quartz features an explorer that allows you to navigate all files and folders on your site. It supports nested folders and is highly customizable.
By default, it shows all folders and files on your page. To display the explorer in a different spot, you can edit the [[layout]].
Display names for folders get determined by the `title` frontmatter field in `folder/index.md` (more detail in [[authoring content | Authoring Content]]). If this file does not exist or does not contain frontmatter, the local folder name will be used instead.
> [!info]
> The explorer uses local storage by default to save the state of your explorer. This is done to ensure a smooth experience when navigating to different pages.
>
> To clear/delete the explorer state from local storage, delete the `fileTree` entry (guide on how to delete a key from local storage in chromium based browsers can be found [here](https://docs.devolutions.net/kb/general-knowledge-base/clear-browser-local-storage/clear-chrome-local-storage/)). You can disable this by passing `useSavedState: false` as an argument.
## Customization
Most configuration can be done by passing in options to `Component.Explorer()`.
For example, here's what the default configuration looks like:
```typescript title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
title: "Explorer", // title of the explorer component
folderClickBehavior: "collapse", // what happens when you click a folder ("link" to navigate to folder page on click or "collapse" to collapse folder on click)
folderDefaultState: "collapsed", // default state of folders ("collapsed" or "open")
useSavedState: true, // whether to use local storage to save "state" (which folders are opened) of explorer
// omitted but shown later
sortFn: ...,
filterFn: ...,
mapFn: ...,
// what order to apply functions in
order: ["filter", "map", "sort"],
})
```
When passing in your own options, you can omit any or all of these fields if you'd like to keep the default value for that field.
Want to customize it even more?
- Removing explorer: remove `Component.Explorer()` from `quartz.layout.ts`
- (optional): After removing the explorer component, you can move the [[table of contents | Table of Contents]] component back to the `left` part of the layout
- Changing `sort`, `filter` and `map` behavior: explained in [[#Advanced customization]]
You can pass your own functions for `sortFn`, `filterFn` and `mapFn`. All functions will be executed in the order provided by the `order` option (see [[#Customization]]). These functions behave similarly to their `Array.prototype` counterpart, except they modify the entire `FileNode` tree in place instead of returning a new one.
For more information on how to use `sort`, `filter` and `map`, you can check [Array.prototype.sort()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort), [Array.prototype.filter()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter) and [Array.prototype.map()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map).
Type definitions look like this:
```ts
type SortFn = (a: FileTrieNode, b: FileTrieNode) => number
type FilterFn = (node: FileTrieNode) => boolean
type MapFn = (node: FileTrieNode) => void
```
## Basic examples
These examples show the basic usage of `sort`, `map` and `filter`.
### Use `sort` to put files first
Using this example, the explorer will alphabetically sort everything.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
sortFn: (a, b) => {
return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName)
},
})
```
### Change display names (`map`)
Using this example, the display names of all `FileNodes` (folders + files) will be converted to full upper case.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
mapFn: (node) => {
node.displayName = node.displayName.toUpperCase()
return node
},
})
```
### Remove list of elements (`filter`)
Using this example, you can remove elements from your explorer by providing an array of folders/files to exclude.
Note that this example filters on the title but you can also do it via slug or any other field available on `FileTrieNode`.
```ts title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Explorer({
filterFn: (node) => {
// set containing names of everything you want to filter out
const omit = new Set(["authoring content", "tags", "advanced"])
// can also use node.slug or by anything on node.data
// note that node.data is only present for files that exist on disk
// (e.g. implicit folder nodes that have no associated index.md)
return !omit.has(node.displayName.toLowerCase())
},
})
```
### Remove files by tag
You can access the tags of a file by `node.data.tags`.
Quartz emits listing pages for any folders and tags you have.
## Folder Listings
Quartz will generate an index page for all the pages under that folder. This includes any content that is multiple levels deep.
Additionally, Quartz will also generate pages for subfolders. Say you have a note in a nested folder `content/abc/def/note.md`. Then Quartz would generate a page for all the notes under `abc`_and_ a page for all the notes under `abc/def`.
You can link to the folder listing by referencing its name, plus a trailing slash, like this: `[[advanced/]]` (results in [[advanced/]]).
By default, Quartz will title the page `Folder: <folder name>` and no description. You can override this by creating an `index.md` file in the folder with the `title` [[authoring content#Syntax|frontmatter]] field. Any content you write in this file will also be used in the folder description.
For example, for the folder `content/posts`, you can add another file `content/posts/index.md` to add a specific description for it.
## Tag Listings
Quartz will also create an index page for each unique tag in your vault and render a list of all notes with that tag.
Quartz also supports tag hierarchies as well (e.g. `plugin/emitter`) and will also render a separate tag page for each level of the tag hierarchy. It will also create a default global tag index page at `/tags` that displays a list of all the tags in your Quartz.
You can link to the tag listing by referencing its name with a `tag/` prefix, like this: `[[tags/plugin]]` (results in [[tags/plugin]]).
As with folder listings, you can also provide a description and title for a tag page by creating a file for each tag. For example, if you wanted to create a custom description for the #component tag, you would create a file at `content/tags/component.md` with a title and description.
## Customization
Quartz allows you to define a custom sort ordering for content on both page types. The folder listings are a functionality of the [[FolderPage]] plugin, the tag listings of the [[TagPage]] plugin. See the plugin pages for customization options.
Full-text search in Quartz is powered by [Flexsearch](https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch). It's fast enough to return search results in under 10ms for Quartzs as large as half a million words.
It can be opened by either clicking on the search bar or pressing `⌘`/`ctrl` + `K`. The top 5 search results are shown on each query. Matching subterms are highlighted and the most relevant 30 words are excerpted. Clicking on a search result will navigate to that page.
To search content by tags, you can either press `⌘`/`ctrl` + `shift` + `K` or start your query with `#` (e.g. `#components`).
This component is also keyboard accessible: Tab and Shift+Tab will cycle forward and backward through search results and Enter will navigate to the highlighted result (first result by default). You are also able to navigate search results using `ArrowUp` and `ArrowDown`.
> [!info]
> Search requires the `ContentIndex` emitter plugin to be present in the [[configuration]].
### Indexing Behaviour
By default, it indexes every page on the site with **Markdown syntax removed**. This means link URLs for instance are not indexed.
It properly tokenizes Chinese, Korean, and Japenese characters and constructs separate indexes for the title, content and tags, weighing title matches above content matches.
## Customization
- Removing search: delete all usages of `Component.Search()` from `quartz.layout.ts`.
Quartz features a graph-view that can show both a local graph view and a global graph view.
- The local graph view shows files that either link to the current file or are linked from the current file. In other words, it shows all notes that are _at most_ one hop away.
- The global graph view can be toggled by clicking the graph icon on the top-right of the local graph view. It shows _all_ the notes in your graph and how they connect to each other.
By default, the node radius is proportional to the total number of incoming and outgoing internal links from that file.
Additionally, similar to how browsers highlight visited links a different colour, the graph view will also show nodes that you have visited in a different colour.
> [!info]
> Graph View requires the `ContentIndex` emitter plugin to be present in the [[configuration]].
## Customization
Most configuration can be done by passing in options to `Component.Graph()`.
For example, here's what the default configuration looks like:
```typescript title="quartz.layout.ts"
Component.Graph({
localGraph: {
drag: true, // whether to allow panning the view around
zoom: true, // whether to allow zooming in and out
depth: 1, // how many hops of notes to display
scale: 1.1, // default view scale
repelForce: 0.5, // how much nodes should repel each other
centerForce: 0.3, // how much force to use when trying to center the nodes
linkDistance: 30, // how long should the links be by default?
fontSize: 0.6, // what size should the node labels be?
opacityScale: 1, // how quickly do we fade out the labels when zooming out?
removeTags: [], // what tags to remove from the graph
showTags: true, // whether to show tags in the graph
enableRadial: false, // whether to constrain the graph, similar to Obsidian
},
globalGraph: {
drag: true,
zoom: true,
depth: -1,
scale: 0.9,
repelForce: 0.5,
centerForce: 0.3,
linkDistance: 30,
fontSize: 0.6,
opacityScale: 1,
removeTags: [], // what tags to remove from the graph
showTags: true, // whether to show tags in the graph
enableRadial: true, // whether to constrain the graph, similar to Obsidian
},

When passing in your own options, you can omit any or all of these fields if you'd like to keep the default value for that field.

- Removing graph view: delete all usages of `Component.Graph()` from `quartz.layout.ts`.
Internationalization allows users to translate text in the Quartz interface into various supported languages without needing to make extensive code changes. This can be changed via the `locale` [[configuration]] field in `quartz.config.ts`.
The locale field generally follows a certain format: `{language}-{REGION}`
- `{language}` is usually a [2-letter lowercase language code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ISO_639_language_codes).
- `{REGION}` is usually a [2-letter uppercase region code](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_3166-1_alpha-2)

Like Wikipedia, when you hover over a link in Quartz, there is a popup of a page preview that you can scroll to see the entire content. Links to headers will also scroll the popup to show that specific header in view.
By default, Quartz only fetches previews for pages inside your vault due to [CORS](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/CORS). It does this by selecting all HTML elements with the `popover-hint` class. For most pages, this includes the page title, page metadata like words and time to read, tags, and the actual page content.
When [[creating components|creating your own components]], you can include this `popover-hint` class to also include it in the popover.
Similar to Obsidian, [[quartz layout.png|images referenced using wikilinks]] can also be viewed as popups.
## Configuration
- Remove popovers: set the `enablePopovers` field in `quartz.config.ts` to be `false`.
There may be some notes you want to avoid publishing as a website. Quartz supports this through two mechanisms which can be used in conjunction:
## Filter Plugins
[[making plugins#Filters|Filter plugins]] are plugins that filter out content based off of certain criteria. By default, Quartz uses the [[RemoveDrafts]] plugin which filters out any note that has `draft: true` in the frontmatter.
If you'd like to only publish a select number of notes, you can instead use [[ExplicitPublish]] which will filter out all notes except for any that have `publish: true` in the frontmatter.
> [!warning]
> Regardless of the filter plugin used, **all non-markdown files will be emitted and available publically in the final build.** This includes files such as images, voice recordings, PDFs, etc. One way to prevent this and still be able to embed local images is to create a folder specifically for public media and add the following two patterns to the ignorePatterns array.
>
> `"!(PublicMedia)**/!(*.md)", "!(*.md)"`
## `ignorePatterns`
This is a field in `quartz.config.ts` under the main [[configuration]] which allows you to specify a list of patterns to effectively exclude from parsing all together. Any valid [fast-glob](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob#pattern-syntax) pattern works here.
> [!note]
> Bash's glob syntax is slightly different from fast-glob's and using bash's syntax may lead to unexpected results.
Common examples include:
- `some/folder`: exclude the entire of `some/folder`
- `*.md`: exclude all files with a `.md` extension
- `!*.md` exclude all files that _don't_ have a `.md` extension
- `**/private`: exclude any files or folders named `private` at any level of nesting
> [!warning]
> Marking something as private via either a plugin or through the `ignorePatterns` pattern will only prevent a page from being included in the final built site. If your GitHub repository is public, also be sure to include an ignore for those in the `.gitignore` of your Quartz. See the `git` [documentation](https://git-scm.com/docs/gitignore#_pattern_format) for more information.
Reader Mode is a feature that allows users to focus on the content by hiding the sidebars and other UI elements. When enabled, it provides a clean, distraction-free reading experience.
## Configuration
Reader Mode is enabled by default. To disable it, you can remove the component from your layout configuration in `quartz.layout.ts`:
```ts
// Remove or comment out this line
Component.ReaderMode(),
```
## Usage
The Reader Mode toggle appears as a button with a book icon. When clicked:
- Sidebars are hidden
- Hovering over the content area reveals the sidebars temporarily
Unlike Dark Mode, Reader Mode state is not persisted between page reloads but is maintained during SPA navigation within the site.
## Customization
You can customize the appearance of Reader Mode through CSS variables and styles. The component uses the following classes:
- `.readermode`: The toggle button
- `.readerIcon`: The book icon
- `[reader-mode="on"]`: Applied to the root element when Reader Mode is active
Quartz can generate a list of recent notes based on some filtering and sorting criteria. Though this component isn't included in any [[layout]] by default, you can add it by using `Component.RecentNotes` in `quartz.layout.ts`.
## Customization
- Changing the title from "Recent notes": pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ title: "Recent writing" })`
- Changing the number of recent notes: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ limit: 5 })`
- Display the note's tags (defaults to true): `Component.RecentNotes({ showTags: false })`
- Show a 'see more' link: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ linkToMore: "tags/components" })`. This field should be a full slug to a page that exists.
- Customize filtering: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ filter: someFilterFunction })`. The filter function should be a function that has the signature `(f: QuartzPluginData) => boolean`.
- Customize sorting: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ sort: someSortFunction })`. By default, Quartz will sort by date and then tie break lexographically. The sort function should be a function that has the signature `(f1: QuartzPluginData, f2: QuartzPluginData) => number`. See `byDateAndAlphabetical` in `quartz/components/PageList.tsx` for an example.
A lot of social media platforms can display a rich preview for your website when sharing a link (most notably, a cover image, a title and a description).
Quartz can also dynamically generate and use new cover images for every page to be used in link previews on social media for you.
## Showcase
After enabling the [[CustomOgImages]] emitter plugin, the social media link preview for [[authoring content | Authoring Content]] looks like this:
Syntax highlighting in Quartz is completely done at build-time. This means that Quartz only ships pre-calculated CSS to highlight the right words so there is no heavy client-side bundle that does the syntax highlighting.
And, unlike some client-side highlighters, it has a full TextMate parser grammar instead of using Regexes, allowing for highly accurate code highlighting.
In short, it generates HTML that looks exactly like your code in an editor like VS Code. Under the hood, it's powered by [Rehype Pretty Code](https://rehype-pretty-code.netlify.app/) which uses [Shiki](https://github.com/shikijs/shiki).
> [!warning]
> Syntax highlighting does have an impact on build speed if you have a lot of code snippets in your notes.
## Formatting
Text inside `backticks` on a line will be formatted like code.
````
```ts
export function trimPathSuffix(fp: string): string {
fp = clientSideSlug(fp)
let [cleanPath, anchor] = fp.split("#", 2)
anchor = anchor === undefined ? "" : "#" + anchor
return cleanPath + anchor
}
```
````
```ts
export function trimPathSuffix(fp: string): string {
fp = clientSideSlug(fp)
let [cleanPath, anchor] = fp.split("#", 2)
anchor = anchor === undefined ? "" : "#" + anchor
return cleanPath + anchor
}
```
### Titles
Add a file title to your code block, with text inside double quotes (`""`):
````
```js title="..."
```
````
```ts title="quartz/path.ts"
export function trimPathSuffix(fp: string): string {
fp = clientSideSlug(fp)
let [cleanPath, anchor] = fp.split("#", 2)
anchor = anchor === undefined ? "" : "#" + anchor
return cleanPath + anchor
}
```
### Line highlighting
Place a numeric range inside`{}`.
````
```js {1-3,4}
```
````
```ts {2-3,6}
export function trimPathSuffix(fp: string): string {
fp = clientSideSlug(fp)
let [cleanPath, anchor] = fp.split("#", 2)
anchor = anchor === undefined ? "" : "#" + anchor
return cleanPath + anchor
}
```
### Word highlighting
A series of characters, like a literal regex.
````
```js /useState/
const [age, setAge] = useState(50);
const [name, setName] = useState('Taylor');
```
````
```js /useState/
const [age, setAge] = useState(50)
const [name, setName] = useState("Taylor")
```
### Inline Highlighting
Append {:lang} to the end of inline code to highlight it like a regular code block.
```
This is an array `[1, 2, 3]{:js}` of numbers 1 through 3.
```
This is an array `[1, 2, 3]{:js}` of numbers 1 through 3.
### Line numbers
Syntax highlighting has line numbers configured automatically. If you want to start line numbers at a specific number, use`showLineNumbers{number}`:
````
```js showLineNumbers{number}
```
````
```ts showLineNumbers{20}
export function trimPathSuffix(fp: string): string {
fp = clientSideSlug(fp)
let [cleanPath, anchor] = fp.split("#", 2)
anchor = anchor === undefined ? "" : "#" + anchor
return cleanPath + anchor
}
```
### Escaping code blocks
You can format a codeblock inside of a codeblock by wrapping it with another level of backtick fences that has one more backtick than the previous fence.
`````
````
```js /useState/
const [age, setAge] = useState(50);
const [name, setName] = useState('Taylor');
```
````
`````
## Customization
Syntax highlighting is a functionality of the [[SyntaxHighlighting]] plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
Quartz can automatically generate a table of contents (TOC) from a list of headings on each page. It will also show you your current scrolling position on the page by highlighting headings you've scrolled through with a different color.
You can hide the TOC on a page by adding `enableToc: false` to the frontmatter for that page.
By default, the TOC shows all headings from H1 (`# Title`) to H3 (`### Title`) and is only displayed if there is more than one heading on the page.
## Customization
The table of contents is a functionality of the [[TableOfContents]] plugin. See the plugin page for more customization options.
It also needs the `TableOfContents` component, which is displayed in the right sidebar by default. You can change this by customizing the [[layout]]. The TOC component can be configured with the `layout` parameter, which can either be `modern` (default) or `legacy`.
Wikilinks were pioneered by earlier internet wikis to make it easier to write links across pages without needing to write Markdown or HTML links each time.
Quartz supports Wikilinks by default and these links are resolved by Quartz using the [[CrawlLinks]] plugin. See the [Obsidian Help page on Internal Links](https://help.obsidian.md/Linking+notes+and+files/Internal+links) for more information on Wikilink syntax.
This is enabled as a part of [[Obsidian compatibility]] and can be configured and enabled/disabled from that plugin.
## Syntax
- `[[Path to file]]`: produces a link to `Path to file.md` (or `Path-to-file.md`) with the text `Path to file`
- `[[Path to file | Here's the title override]]`: produces a link to `Path to file.md` with the text `Here's the title override`
- `[[Path to file#Anchor]]`: produces a link to the anchor `Anchor` in the file `Path to file.md`
- `[[Path to file#^block-ref]]`: produces a link to the specific block `block-ref` in the file `Path to file.md`
### Embeds
- `![[Path to image]]`: embeds an image into the page
- `![[Path to image|100x145]]`: embeds an image into the page with dimensions 100px by 145px
- `![[Path to file]]`: transclude an entire page
- `![[Path to file#Anchor]]`: transclude everything under the header `Anchor`
- `![[Path to file#^b15695]]`: transclude block with ID `^b15695`
