Plot Device

Character, place and note pages

A page is a file in characters/, places/, notes/, or the folder of one of the book’s own kinds of pages. The folder says what it is.

---
title: Bea Halmi
aka: [Aunt Bea, Bea]
tags: [Part Two – main, Varga family]
---
Ilka's aunt, who stayed in Marrow when everyone else left.

## Habits
Counts the trees aloud. Never sits with her back to the river.
  • title is the page’s name. Without one, the first # heading names it, then the file name, so pages written in any app work as they are.
  • aka lists other names; searching for any of them finds the page.
  • tags lists your tags, written as you say them, spaces included. Tags that differ only in capitals or spacing are the same tag. Changing a page’s tags in Plot Device rewrites only this line.
  • The first paragraph is the description. Everything after it is the details.
  • Links to other pages are ordinary Markdown links. Plot Device also reads Obsidian’s [[Bea]] links, but never writes them.

Relationships

Section titled “Relationships”

A heading called Relationships (or קשרים, at any level) holds a list. Each item with a link is one relationship: the words say what it is, the link says with whom. The words can go anywhere: [Noël](noel.md)'s rival works too. Items without a link are kept as written, and nested items are details of the item above.

A relationship goes one way. Plot Device shows it on the other page under “Linked from”, and never writes it into that page.

Plot Device never rewrites a page to fit. Renaming it changes only its title; changing its tags changes only its tags line; adding, rewording or removing a relationship changes only that item, and the first one adds the heading after the description.
