I discovered that if YAML front matters was not processed. So, if I did something like this:
---
created: 2019-05-21
tags: #wonderful
---
Then #wonderful would not be picked up as a tag.
So, instead, I’ve created a template (using the core plugin) that generates a line like this at the top of the document:
🏷️ 2020-11-12
This allows me to add tags beside the date and seems workable for the moment.
I don’t really use emoji in my notes, so hopefully I’ll be to use regular expressions to revise this slightly hacky way of adding metadata down the line.
How are other folks handling such cases?
