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.
See the node documentation for `.bat` and `.cmd`
files here.
<https://nodejs.org/api/child_process.html#spawning-bat-and-cmd-files-on-windows>.
* [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).

simplifies slug from FullSlug to SimpleSlug before storing it in the visited pages list in memory
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.
* Add icons as masks
To handle a simple way to add custom icons, i made it pure css. Icon are now a mask for the callout-icon div, so they always follow the --color form the current callout.

.callout {
&[data-callout="custom"] {
--color: #customcolor;
--border: #custombordercolor;
--bg: #custombg;

* 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.

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.
- `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: 'plausible' }`: use [Plausible](https://plausible.io/), a privacy-friendly alternative to Google Analytics; or
- `{ provider: 'google', tagId: <your-google-tag> }`: use Google Analytics
- `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.
- `theme`: configure how the site looks.
- `typography`: what fonts to use. Any font available on [Google Fonts](https://fonts.google.com/) works here.
- `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

## Plugins
You can think of Quartz plugins as a series of transformations over content.
![[quartz transform pipeline.png]]
```ts
plugins: {
transformers: [...],
filters: [...],
emitters: [...],
}
```
- [[making plugins#Transformers|Transformers]] **map** over content (e.g. parsing frontmatter, generating a description)
- [[making plugins#Filters|Filters]] **filter** content (e.g. filtering out drafts)
- [[making plugins#Emitters|Emitters]] **reduce** over content (e.g. creating an RSS feed or pages that list all files with a specific tag)
By adding, removing, and reordering plugins from the `tranformers`, `filters`, and `emitters` fields, you can customize the behaviour of Quartz.
> [!note]
> Each node is modified by every transformer _in order_. Some transformers are position-sensitive so you may need to take special note of whether it needs come before or after any other particular plugins.
Additionally, plugins may also have their own configuration settings that you can pass in. For example, the [[Latex]] plugin allows you to pass in a field specifying the `renderEngine` to choose between Katex and MathJax.
```ts
transformers: [
Plugin.FrontMatter(), // uses default options
Plugin.Latex({ renderEngine: "katex" }), // specify some options
]
```
If you'd like to make your own plugins, read the guide on [[making plugins]] for more information.
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}
$$
### 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
## MathJax
In `quartz.config.ts`, you can configure Quartz to use [MathJax SVG rendering](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/output/svg.html) by replacing `Plugin.Latex({ renderEngine: 'katex' })` with `Plugin.Latex({ renderEngine: 'mathjax' })`
## Customization
- Removing Latex support: remove all instances of `Plugin.Latex()` from `quartz.config.ts`.
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 `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown` 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 `Plugin.FrontMatter` transformer plugin.
Finally, Quartz also provides `Plugin.CrawlLinks` which allows you to customize Quartz's link resolution behaviour to match Obsidian.
## Configuration
- Frontmatter parsing:
- Disabling: remove all instances of `Plugin.FrontMatter()` from `quartz.config.ts`.
- Customize default values for frontmatter: edit `quartz/plugins/transformers/frontmatter.ts`
- Obsidian Flavored Markdown:
- Disabling: remove all instances of `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown()` from `quartz.config.ts`
- Customizing features: `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown` has several other options to toggle on and off:
-`comments`: whether to enable `%%` style Obsidian comments. Defaults to `true`
-`highlight`: whether to enable `==` style highlights. Defaults to `true`
-`wikilinks`: whether to enable turning [[wikilinks]] into regular links. Defaults to `true`
-`callouts`: whether to enable [[callouts]]. Defaults to `true`
-`mermaid`: whether to enable [[Mermaid diagrams]]. Defaults to `true`
-`parseTags`: whether to try and parse tags in the content body. Defaults to `true`
-`enableInHtmlEmbed`: whether to try and parse Obsidian flavoured markdown in raw HTML. Defaults to `false`
- Link resolution behaviour:
- Disabling: remove all instances of `Plugin.CrawlLinks()` from `quartz.config.ts`
- Changing link resolution preference: set `markdownLinkResolution` to one of `absolute`, `relative` or `shortest`
Quartz creates 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.
## Configuration
- Remove RSS feed: set the `enableRSS` field of `Plugin.ContentIndex` in `quartz.config.ts` to be `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 `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown()` is _after_ `Plugin.SyntaxHighlighting()`.
## Customization
- Disable callouts: simply pass `callouts: false` to the plugin: `Plugin.ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown({ callouts: false })`
Quartz creates 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`.
By default, Quartz will title the page `Folder: <name of folder>` 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 description of the folder.
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 layer 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.
Like 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
The layout for both the folder and content pages can be customized. By default, they use the `defaultListPageLayout` in `quartz.layouts.ts`. If you'd like to make more involved changes to the layout and don't mind editing some [[creating components|Quartz components]], you can take a look at `quartz/components/pages/FolderContent.tsx` and `quartz/components/pages/TagContent.tsx` respectively.
- Removing folder listings: remove `Plugin.FolderPage()` from `emitters` in `quartz.config.ts`
- Removing tag listings: remove `Plugin.TagPage()` from `emitters` in `quartz.config.ts`
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 `Plugin.RemoveDrafts` plugin which filters out any note that has `drafts: true` in the frontmatter.
If you'd like to only publish a select number of notes, you can instead use `Plugin.ExplicitPublish` which will filter out all notes except for any that have `publish: true` in the frontmatter.
## `ignoreFiles`
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 [glob](https://github.com/mrmlnc/fast-glob#pattern-syntax) pattern works here.
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 `ignoreFiles` 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.
Quartz can automatically generate a table of contents from a list of headings on each page. It will also show you your current scroll position on the site by marking headings you've scrolled through with a different colour.
By default, it will show all headers from H1 (`# Title`) all the way to H3 (`### Title`) and will only show the table of contents if there is more than 1 header on the page.
> [!info]
> This feature requires both `Plugin.TableOfContents` in your `quartz.config.ts` and `Component.TableOfContents` in your `quartz.layout.ts` to function correctly.
## Customization
- Removing table of contents: remove all instances of `Plugin.TableOfContents()` from `quartz.config.ts`. and `Component.TableOfContents()` from `quartz.layout.ts`
- Changing the max depth: pass in a parameter to `Plugin.TableOfContents({ maxDepth: 4 })`
- Changing the minimum number of entries in the Table of Contents before it renders: pass in a parameter to `Plugin.TableOfContents({ minEntries: 3 })`
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 `Plugin.CrawlLinks`. 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` with the text `Path to file`
-`[[Path to file | Here's the title override]]`: produces a link to `Path to file` 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`
> [!warning]
> Currently, Quartz does not support block references or note embed syntax.
Quartz effectively turns your Markdown files and other resources into a bundle of HTML, JS, and CSS files (a website!).
However, if you'd like to publish your site to the world, you need a way to host it online. This guide will detail how to deploy with either GitHub Pages or Cloudflare pages but any service that allows you to deploy static HTML should work as well (e.g. Netlify, Replit, etc.)
> [!hint]
> Some Quartz features (like [[RSS Feed]] and sitemap generation) require `baseUrl` to be configured properly in your [[configuration]] to work properly. Make sure you set this before deploying!
## Cloudflare Pages
1. Log in to the[Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/)and select your account.
2. In Account Home, select**Workers & Pages**>**Create application**>**Pages**>**Connect to Git**.
3. Select the new GitHub repository that you created and, in the**Set up builds and deployments**section, provide the following information:
| Configuration option | Value |
| ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| Production branch | `v4` |
| Framework preset | `None` |
| Build command | `npx quartz build` |
| Build output directory | `public` |
Press "Save and deploy" and Cloudflare should have a deployed version of your site in about a minute. Then, every time you sync your Quartz changes to GitHub, your site should be updated.
To add a custom domain, check out [Cloudflare's documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/custom-domains/).
## GitHub Pages
Like Quartz 3, you can deploy the site generated by Quartz 4 via GitHub Pages.
In your local Quartz, create a new file `quartz/.github/workflows/deploy.yml`.
1. Head to "Settings" tab of your forked repository and in the sidebar, click "Pages". Under "Source", select "GitHub Actions".
2. Commit these changes by doing `npx quartz sync`. This should deploy your site to `<github-username>.github.io/<repository-name>`.
> [!hint]
> If you get an error about not being allowed to deploy to `github-pages` due to environment protection rules, make sure you remove any existing GitHub pages environments.
>
> You can do this by going to your Settings page on your GitHub fork and going to the Environments tab and pressing the trash icon. The GitHub action will recreate the environment for you correctly the next time you sync your Quartz.
### Custom Domain
Here's how to add a custom domain to your GitHub pages deployment.
1. Head to the "Settings" tab of your forked repository.
2. In the "Code and automation" section of the sidebar, click "Pages".
3. Under "Custom Domain", type your custom domain and click "Save".
4. This next step depends on whether you are using an apex domain (`example.com`) or a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`).
- If you are using an apex domain, navigate to your DNS provider and create an `A` record that points your apex domain to GitHub's name servers which have the following IP addresses:
- `185.199.108.153`
- `185.199.109.153`
- `185.199.110.153`
- `185.199.111.153`
- If you are using a subdomain, navigate to your DNS provider and create a`CNAME`record that points your subdomain to the default domain for your site. For example, if you want to use the subdomain`quartz.example.com`for your user site, create a`CNAME`record that points`quartz.example.com`to`<github-username>.github.io`.
![[dns records.png]]_The above shows a screenshot of Google Domains configured for both `jzhao.xyz` (an apex domain) and `quartz.jzhao.xyz` (a subdomain)._
See the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-a-subdomain) for more detail about how to setup your own custom domain with GitHub Pages.
> [!question] Why aren't my changes showing up?
> There could be many different reasons why your changes aren't showing up but the most likely reason is that you forgot to push your changes to GitHub.
>

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 will 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.
- `header`: Font to use for headers

## 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.
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,

Daniel and Sumers, Theodore R. and Rees, Edward and Batson, Joshua and Jermyn, Adam and Carter, Shan and Olah, Chris and Henighan, Tom},

## 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

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()`.

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 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.
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.

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.

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.
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.
- Removing syntax highlighting: delete all usages of `Plugin.SyntaxHighlighting()` from `quartz.config.ts`.
Syntax highlighting is a functionality of the [[SyntaxHighlighting]] plugin. See the plugin page for customization options.
- Style: By default, Quartz uses derivatives of the GitHub light and dark themes. You can customize the colours in the `quartz/styles/syntax.scss` file.
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`
Quartz effectively turns your Markdown files and other resources into a bundle of HTML, JS, and CSS files (a website!).
However, if you'd like to publish your site to the world, you need a way to host it online. This guide will detail how to deploy with common hosting providers but any service that allows you to deploy static HTML should work as well.
> [!warning]
> The rest of this guide assumes that you've already created your own GitHub repository for Quartz. If you haven't already, [[setting up your GitHub repository|make sure you do so]].

## Cloudflare Pages
1. Log in to the[Cloudflare dashboard](https://dash.cloudflare.com/)and select your account.
2. In Account Home, select**Workers & Pages**>**Create application**>**Pages**>**Connect to Git**.
3. Select the new GitHub repository that you created and, in the**Set up builds and deployments**section, provide the following information:
| Configuration option | Value |
| ---------------------- | ------------------ |
| Production branch | `v4` |
| Framework preset | `None` |
| Build command | `npx quartz build` |
| Build output directory | `public` |
Press "Save and deploy" and Cloudflare should have a deployed version of your site in about a minute. Then, every time you sync your Quartz changes to GitHub, your site should be updated.
To add a custom domain, check out [Cloudflare's documentation](https://developers.cloudflare.com/pages/platform/custom-domains/).
> [!warning]
> Cloudflare Pages performs a shallow clone by default, so if you rely on `git` for timestamps, it is recommended that you add `git fetch --unshallow &&` to the beginning of the build command (e.g., `git fetch --unshallow && npx quartz build`).
## GitHub Pages
In your local Quartz, create a new file `quartz/.github/workflows/deploy.yml`.
1. Head to "Settings" tab of your forked repository and in the sidebar, click "Pages". Under "Source", select "GitHub Actions".
2. Commit these changes by doing `npx quartz sync`. This should deploy your site to `<github-username>.github.io/<repository-name>`.
> [!hint]
> If you get an error about not being allowed to deploy to `github-pages` due to environment protection rules, make sure you remove any existing GitHub pages environments.
>
> You can do this by going to your Settings page on your GitHub fork and going to the Environments tab and pressing the trash icon. The GitHub action will recreate the environment for you correctly the next time you sync your Quartz.
> [!info]
> Quartz generates files in the format of `file.html` instead of `file/index.html` which means the trailing slashes for _non-folder paths_ are dropped. As GitHub pages does not do this redirect, this may cause existing links to your site that use trailing slashes to break. If not breaking existing links is important to you (e.g. you are migrating from Quartz 3), consider using [[#Cloudflare Pages]].
### Custom Domain
Here's how to add a custom domain to your GitHub pages deployment.
1. Head to the "Settings" tab of your forked repository.
2. In the "Code and automation" section of the sidebar, click "Pages".
3. Under "Custom Domain", type your custom domain and click "Save".
4. This next step depends on whether you are using an apex domain (`example.com`) or a subdomain (`subdomain.example.com`).
- If you are using an apex domain, navigate to your DNS provider and create an `A` record that points your apex domain to GitHub's name servers which have the following IP addresses:
- `185.199.108.153`
- `185.199.109.153`
- `185.199.110.153`
- `185.199.111.153`
- If you are using a subdomain, navigate to your DNS provider and create a`CNAME`record that points your subdomain to the default domain for your site. For example, if you want to use the subdomain`quartz.example.com`for your user site, create a`CNAME`record that points`quartz.example.com`to`<github-username>.github.io`.
![[dns records.png]]_The above shows a screenshot of Google Domains configured for both `jzhao.xyz` (an apex domain) and `quartz.jzhao.xyz` (a subdomain)._
See the [GitHub documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/pages/configuring-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site/managing-a-custom-domain-for-your-github-pages-site#configuring-a-subdomain) for more detail about how to setup your own custom domain with GitHub Pages.
> [!question] Why aren't my changes showing up?
> There could be many different reasons why your changes aren't showing up but the most likely reason is that you forgot to push your changes to GitHub.
>
> Make sure you save your changes to Git and sync it to GitHub by doing `npx quartz sync`. This will also make sure to pull any updates you may have made from other devices so you have them locally.
## Vercel
### Fix URLs
Before deploying to Vercel, a `vercel.json` file is required at the root of the project directory. It needs to contain the following configuration so that URLs don't require the `.html` extension:
```json title="vercel.json"
{
"cleanUrls": true
}
```
### Deploy to Vercel
1. Log in to the [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard) and click "Add New..." > Project
2. Import the Git repository containing your Quartz project.
3. Give the project a name (lowercase characters and hyphens only)
4. Check that these configuration options are set:
5. Press Deploy. Once it's live, you'll have 2 `*.vercel.app` URLs to view the page.
### Custom Domain
> [!note]
> If there is something already hosted on the domain, these steps will not work without replacing the previous content. As a workaround, you could use Next.js rewrites or use the next section to create a subdomain.
1. Update the `baseUrl` in `quartz.config.js` if necessary.
2. Go to the [Domains - Dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard/domains) page in Vercel.
3. Connect the domain to Vercel
4. Press "Add" to connect a custom domain to Vercel.
5. Select your Quartz repository and press Continue.
6. Enter the domain you want to connect it to.
7. Follow the instructions to update your DNS records until you see "Valid Configuration"
### Use a Subdomain
Using `docs.example.com` is an example of a subdomain. They're a simple way of connecting multiple deployments to one domain.
1. Update the `baseUrl` in `quartz.config.js` if necessary.
2. Ensure your domain has been added to the [Domains - Dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard/domains) page in Vercel.
3. Go to the [Vercel Dashboard](https://vercel.com/dashboard) and select your Quartz project.
4. Go to the Settings tab and then click Domains in the sidebar
5. Enter your subdomain into the field and press Add
## Netlify
1. Log in to the [Netlify dashboard](https://app.netlify.com/) and click "Add new site".
2. Select your Git provider and repository containing your Quartz project.
3. Under "Build command", enter `npx quartz build`.
4. Under "Publish directory", enter `public`.
5. Press Deploy. Once it's live, you'll have a `*.netlify.app` URL to view the page.
6. To add a custom domain, check "Domain management" in the left sidebar, just like with Vercel.
## GitLab Pages
In your local Quartz, create a new file `.gitlab-ci.yml`.
```yaml title=".gitlab-ci.yml"
stages:
- build
- deploy
image: node:20
cache: # Cache modules in between jobs
key: $CI_COMMIT_REF_SLUG
paths:
- .npm/
build:
stage: build
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME == "v4"'
before_script:
- hash -r
- npm ci --cache .npm --prefer-offline
script:
- npx quartz build
artifacts:
paths:
- public
tags:
- gitlab-org-docker
pages:
stage: deploy
rules:
- if: '$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME == "v4"'
script:
- echo "Deploying to GitLab Pages..."
artifacts:
paths:
- public
```
When `.gitlab-ci.yaml` is committed, GitLab will build and deploy the website as a GitLab Page. You can find the url under `Deploy > Pages` in the sidebar.
By default, the page is private and only visible when logged in to a GitLab account with access to the repository but can be opened in the settings under `Deploy` -> `Pages`.
## Self-Hosting
Copy the `public` directory to your web server and configure it to serve the files. You can use any web server to host your site. Since Quartz generates links that do not include the `.html` extension, you need to let your web server know how to deal with it.
### Using Nginx
Here's an example of how to do this with Nginx:
```nginx title="nginx.conf"
server {
listen 80;
server_name example.com;
root /path/to/quartz/public;
index index.html;
error_page 404 /404.html;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ =404;
}
}
```
### Using Apache
Here's an example of how to do this with Apache:
```apache title=".htaccess"
RewriteEngine On
ErrorDocument 404 /404.html
# Rewrite rule for .html extension removal (with directory check)

Quartz provides several higher-order components that help with layout composition and responsive design. These components wrap other components to add additional functionality or modify their behavior.
## `Flex` Component
The `Flex` component creates a [flexible box layout](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/flex) that can arrange child components in various ways. It's particularly useful for creating responsive layouts and organizing components in rows or columns.
```typescript
typeFlexConfig={
components:{
Component: QuartzComponent
grow?: boolean// whether component should grow to fill space
shrink?: boolean// whether component should shrink if needed
basis?: string// initial main size of the component
grow: true,// Search will grow to fill available space
},
{Component: Component.Darkmode()},// Darkmode keeps its natural size
],
direction:"row",
gap:"1rem",
})
```
## `MobileOnly` Component
The `MobileOnly` component is a wrapper that makes its child component only visible on mobile devices. This is useful for creating responsive layouts where certain components should only appear on smaller screens.
### Example Usage
```typescript
Component.MobileOnly(Component.Spacer())
```
## `DesktopOnly` Component
The `DesktopOnly` component is the counterpart to `MobileOnly`. It makes its child component only visible on desktop devices. This helps create responsive layouts where certain components should only appear on larger screens.

## A garden should be your own
At its core, Quartz is designed to be easy to use enough for non-technical people to get going but also powerful enough that senior developers can tweak it to work how they'd like it to work.
1. If you like the default configuration of Quartz and just want to change the content, the only thing that you need to change is the contents of the `content` folder.
2. If you'd like to make basic configuration tweaks but don't want to edit source code, one can tweak the plugins and components in `quartz.config.ts` and `quartz.layout.ts` in a guided manner to their liking.
3. If you'd like to tweak the actual source code of the underlying plugins, components, or even build process, Quartz purposefully ships its full source code to the end user to allow customization at this level too.
Most software either confines you to either
1. Makes it easy to tweak content but not the presentation
2. Gives you too many knobs to tune the presentation without good opinionated defaults
**Quartz should feel powerful but ultimately be an intuitive tool fully within your control.** It should be a piece of [agentic software](https://jzhao.xyz/posts/agentic-computing). Ultimately, it should have the right affordances to nudge users towards good defaults but never dictate what the 'correct' way of using it is.
This plugin emits all non-Markdown static assets in your content folder (like images, videos, HTML, etc). The plugin respects the `ignorePatterns` in the global [[configuration]].
Note that all static assets will then be accessible through its path on your generated site, i.e: `host.me/path/to/static.pdf`

-`enableRSS`: If `true` (default), produces an RSS feed (`index.xml`) with recent content updates.
-`rssLimit`: Defines the maximum number of entries to include in the RSS feed, helping to focus on the most recent or relevant content. Defaults to `10`.
-`rssFullHtml`: If `true`, the RSS feed includes full HTML content. Otherwise it includes just summaries.
-`rssSlug`: Slug to the generated RSS feed XML file. Defaults to `"index"`.
-`includeEmptyFiles`: If `true` (default), content files with no body text are included in the generated index and resources.

-`absolute`: Path relative to the root of the content folder.
-`relative`: Path relative to the file you are linking from.
-`shortest`: Name of the file. If this isn't enough to identify the file, use the full absolute path.
-`prettyLinks`: If `true` (default), simplifies links by removing folder paths, making them more user friendly (e.g. `folder/deeply/nested/note` becomes `note`).
-`openLinksInNewTab`: If `true`, configures external links to open in a new tab. Defaults to `false`.
-`lazyLoad`: If `true`, adds lazy loading to resource elements (`img`, `video`, etc.) to improve page load performance. Defaults to `false`.
-`externalLinkIcon`: Adds an icon next to external links when `true` (default) to visually distinguishing them from internal links.

| `socialDescription` | `description` | Description to be used for preview. |
| `socialImage` | `image`, `cover` | Link to preview image. |
The `socialImage` property should contain a link to an image relative to `quartz/static`. If you have a folder for all your images in `quartz/static/my-images`, an example for `socialImage` could be `"my-images/cover.png"`.
> [!info] Info
>
> The priority for what image will be used for the cover image looks like the following: `frontmatter property > generated image (if enabled) > default image`.
>
> The default image (`quartz/static/og-image.png`) will only be used as a fallback if nothing else is set. If the Custom OG Images emitter plugin is enabled, it will be treated as the new default per page, but can be overwritten by setting the `socialImage` frontmatter property for that page.
## Customization
You can fully customize how the images being generated look by passing your own component to `imageStructure`. This component takes JSX + some page metadata/config options and converts it to an image using [satori](https://github.com/vercel/satori). Vercel provides an [online playground](https://og-playground.vercel.app/) that can be used to preview how your JSX looks like as a picture. This is ideal for prototyping your custom design.
### Fonts
You will also be passed an array containing a header and a body font (where the first entry is header and the second is body). The fonts matches the ones selected in `theme.typography.header` and `theme.typography.body` from `quartz.config.ts` and will be passed in the format required by [`satori`](https://github.com/vercel/satori). To use them in CSS, use the `.name` property (e.g. `fontFamily: fonts[1].name` to use the "body" font family).
An example of a component using the header font could look like this:
This plugin generates descriptions that are used as metadata for the HTML `head`, the [[RSS Feed]] and in [[folder and tag listings]] if there is no main body content, the description is used as the text between the title and the listing.
If the frontmatter contains a `description` property, it is used (see [[authoring content#Syntax]]). Otherwise, the plugin will do its best to use the first few sentences of the content to reach the target description length.

> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`descriptionLength`: the maximum length of the generated description. Default is 150 characters. The cut off happens after the first _sentence_ that ends after the given length.
-`replaceExternalLinks`: If `true` (default), replace external links with their domain and path in the description (e.g. `https://domain.tld/some_page/another_page?query=hello&target=world` is replaced with `domain.tld/some_page/another_page`).
This plugin filters content based on an explicit `publish` flag in the frontmatter, allowing only content that is explicitly marked for publication to pass through. It's the opt-in version of [[RemoveDrafts]]. See [[private pages]] for more information.

> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin generates index pages for folders, creating a listing page for each folder that contains multiple content files. See [[folder and tag listings]] for more information.
Example: [[advanced/|Advanced]]
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
The pages are displayed using the `defaultListPageLayout` in `quartz.layouts.ts`. For the content, the `FolderContent` component is used. If you want to modify the layout, you must edit it directly (`quartz/components/pages/FolderContent.tsx`).
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`sort`: A function of type `(f1: QuartzPluginData, f2: QuartzPluginData) => number{:ts}` used to sort entries. Defaults to sorting by date and tie-breaking on lexographical order.
This plugin parses the frontmatter of the page using the [gray-matter](https://github.com/jonschlinkert/gray-matter) library. See [[authoring content#Syntax]], [[Obsidian compatibility]] and [[OxHugo compatibility]] for more information.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`delimiters`: the delimiters to use for the frontmatter. Can have one value (e.g. `"---"`) or separate values for opening and closing delimiters (e.g. `["---", "~~~"]`). Defaults to `"---"`.
-`language`: the language to use for parsing the frontmatter. Can be `yaml` (default) or `toml`.

This plugin enhances Markdown processing to support GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM) which adds features like autolink literals, footnotes, strikethrough, tables and tasklists.
In addition, this plugin adds optional features for typographic refinement (such as converting straight quotes to curly quotes, dashes to en-dashes/em-dashes, and ellipses) and automatic heading links as a symbol that appears next to the heading on hover.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`enableSmartyPants`: When true, enables typographic enhancements. Default is true.
-`linkHeadings`: When true, automatically adds links to headings. Default is true.
## API
- Category: Transformer
- Function name: `Plugin.GitHubFlavoredMarkdown()`.
This plugin automatically converts single line breaks in Markdown text into hard line breaks in the HTML output. This plugin is not enabled by default as this doesn't follow the semantics of actual Markdown but you may enable it if you'd like parity with [[Obsidian compatibility|Obsidian]].

This plugin adds LaTeX support to Quartz. See [[features/Latex|Latex]] for more information.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`renderEngine`: the engine to use to render LaTeX equations. Can be `"katex"` for [KaTeX](https://katex.org/), `"mathjax"` for [MathJax](https://www.mathjax.org/) [SVG rendering](https://docs.mathjax.org/en/latest/output/svg.html), or `"typst"` for [Typst](https://typst.app/) (a new way to compose LaTeX equation). Defaults to KaTeX.
-`customMacros`: custom macros for all LaTeX blocks. It takes the form of a key-value pair where the key is a new command name and the value is the expansion of the macro. For example: `{"\\R": "\\mathbb{R}"}`
This plugin provides support for [ox-hugo](https://github.com/kaushalmodi/ox-hugo) compatibility. See [[OxHugo compatibility]] for more information.
> [!note]
> For information on how to add, remove or configure plugins, see the [[configuration#Plugins|Configuration]] page.
This plugin accepts the following configuration options:
-`wikilinks`: If `true` (default), converts Hugo `{{ relref }}` shortcodes to Quartz [[wikilinks]].
-`removePredefinedAnchor`: If `true` (default), strips predefined anchors from headings.
-`removeHugoShortcode`: If `true` (default), removes Hugo shortcode syntax (`{{}}`) from the content.
-`replaceFigureWithMdImg`: If `true` (default), replaces `<figure/>` with `![]()`.
-`replaceOrgLatex`: If `true` (default), converts Org-mode [[features/Latex|Latex]] fragments to Quartz-compatible LaTeX wrapped in `$` (for inline) and `$$` (for block equations).
> [!warning]
> While you can use this together with [[ObsidianFlavoredMarkdown]], it's not recommended because it might mutate the file in unexpected ways. Use with caution.
>
> If you use `toml` frontmatter, make sure to configure the [[Frontmatter]] plugin accordingly. See [[OxHugo compatibility]] for an example.
## API
- Category: Transformer
- Function name: `Plugin.OxHugoFlavoredMarkdown()`.
This plugin filters out content from your vault, so that only finalized content is made available. This prevents [[private pages]] from being published. By default, it filters out all pages with `draft: true` in the frontmatter and leaves all other pages intact.
