This is based on the code originally written by Jean-Philippe Gagné Guay in issue 603: <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/603#issuecomment-2869702877>. I made stylistic changes to it to make it fit with the rest of denote.el. I am adding this in response to issue 603 and 718: - <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/603> with participation from Davi Ramos and Jean-Philippe Gagné Guay; - <https://github.com/protesilaos/denote/issues/718> with participation from o-rxw and Alan Schmitt. In implementing this, I am changing my mind that this is purely a documentation issue. I realised it is better for us to have the main function in denote.el, so that we can test it better. |

denote: Simple notes with an efficient file-naming scheme
New to Denote? Start reading this from the manual: https://protesilaos.com/emacs/denote#h:c54bedb4-5377-4dbd-853c-5870ace6eb33.
Denote is a simple note-taking tool for Emacs. It is based on the idea that notes should follow a predictable and descriptive file-naming scheme. The file name must offer a clear indication of what the note is about, without reference to any other metadata. Denote basically streamlines the creation of such files while providing facilities to link between them.
Denote's file-naming scheme is not limited to "notes". It can be used for all types of file, including those that are not editable in Emacs, such as videos. Naming files in a consistent way makes their filtering and retrieval considerably easier. Denote provides relevant facilities to rename files, regardless of file type.
