Tag Index
Tags: #meta/index
Purpose: This entry codifies the master reference for all tags used across the All-About-Coffee Encyclopedia. This note is used to maintain consistency when tagging new notes.
Tag Conventions
- Tags use lowercase with hyphens for multi-word terms (e.g.
#coffee/green-beans)
- Tags use forward slash
/ for parent/child nesting
- Every note should have at least one
#coffee/* tag and one #meta/* tag where applicable
- Avoid creating new top-level tags without updating this index first
