A Request and Proposal for Multi-Word Tags
Multi worded tags with underscores
Numbers not handled in tags (only when tag starts with numbers)
Support underscores "_" in block-id
Allow the use of brackets and single quotes in tags
Simple non-char/digit chars not recognized in tag names

Look like ‘-’ is the only special character supported by Obsidian.
I suggest to add support for underscore (#test_tag), blank space (#test tag#) and nesting the tags (#test/tag or #test/muti word#).

I’ll pile on here. I can’t get Obsidian to create/link to notes with : in the title, like “Daily review May 26, 2020 5:05pm”. It’s fine if this shouldn’t work, but Obsidian styles it as if it does. Perhaps an error should be thrown or something to avoid erroneous filenames.

@ryanjamurphy your is a different bug that will be fixed in 0.6.5.

I am gonna move this to feature request because the tagging system will be reworked.

Agree with this. My tags have underscores (e.g. book_note) but the full tag is not recognized in 0.6.4, just the first part. Please support underscore in tags.

#6

Steps to reproduce

Enter a tag like #abc_123.

Expected result

Tag should appear in tag list as abc_123.

Characters usually allowed in programming language identifiers like _ and @ should at least also be allowed in tag names.
Or why not in general take as a tag name all characters following a # up until the first whitespace character? Then tags like #library/books/mystery would at least be valid syntactically, even though the nesting is not recognized yet.

Actual result

Tag appears as abc.

Good to hear that tagging will be reworked. Let me add a few things:

  • Sorting of tags alphabetically
  • Currently I have these 2 tags: #supplychain and #supplychainfinance. When I click to search #supplychain, the result includes #supplychainfinance
