Logseq cheatsheet Sourced from My own Cheatsheet - Customization / Look what I built - Logseq Page properties

  • To set properties for a page, you MUST use the first block
  • properties name must be without spaces. e.g. Hebrew Name:: is bad, but Hebrew-name:: is fine
  • icon:: for setting a page icon
  • alias:: is a way to call the same thing with different names.
  • page-type:: to inherit icon e.g. [[locations]] and should be used a general type.
  • e.g. Mcdonalds is page-type:: [[Locations]] but it's type:: [[Restaurant]]
  • page-type is always pages (with [[]]) while type doesn't have (but still can).
  • type:: is "like a subset" of page-type:: it can also be set to a block. and it's "more detailed version of" page-type
  • tags:: is a way to tag a block/page.
  • should I use # with tags? how does this work?
  • you can link property value with [[]], e.g. birthday::[[10.06.1995]] Use # for statuses and people
  • #delayed tasks
  • #[[Or Gaist]] TODO:
  • use /TODO to make a new task
  • you can add /scheduled or /deadline :LOGBOOK: CLOCK: [2023-11-17 Fri 20:57:34]--[2023-11-17 Fri 20:57:35] => 00:00:01 CLOCK: [2023-11-17 Fri 20:57:35] :END:
