Linking

Although you may use regular Markdown links, neuron supports wiki-links that are often more convenient to use to link zettels. To link to a zettel using wiki-links, place that zettel’s Zettel ID inside [[..]]. For example,

Place that zettel's [[id]] inside `[[..]]`.

In Web interface, neuron will automatically display the title of the linked zettel.

Folgezettel links

Wiki-links may be labelled as “folgezettel” if you are writing a “structure note” (or hub note, or index note). See Folgezettel Links#.

Advanced linking

If you are using the Tags plugin, you can link to multiple zettels matching a tag (see Tag Queries#).

Zettel ID
- A title ID is one that uses arbitrary text, typically denoting the title of the note. For example, in the link [[Some note title]] (see Linking#), “Some note title” is the title ID, corresponding to the note filename Some note title.md, that is generated in the Web interface as the HTML file named some-note-title.html (unless you override this slug in Zettel metadata).
Tutorial
- In the text editor, link it (see Linking#) to your first zettel. It should look like this:
Folgezettel Links
- Wiki-links (see Linking#) may be labelled as “folgezettel” if you are writing a “structure note” (or hub note, or index note). Folgezettel links are used to curate a tree-like structure (termed Folgezettel Heterarchy) for your zettelkasten, which structure is used in both Uplink Tree and Impulse.
Folgezettel Heterarchy
- Neuron allows you to organically build a Heterarchy out of your Zettelkasten over time. When a zettel links (see Linking#) to another, it “branches off”¹ to that zettel … using Folgezettel Links#.

Editor integration
- VSCode is recommended for new users of neuron. Though you may also use other Zettelkasten apps that supports wiki-links (see Linking#) like Obsidian.
Directory Tree
- Create folgezettel links (see Linking#) automatically reflecting the directory tree
Creating and Editing zettels
- Do not forget to link your new zettel to the rest of your Zettelkasten. See Linking#.
