FAQ
Q: What is frontmatter?
A: Checkout frontmatter for more details.
Q: What happens if I use a future date?
A: The post will be scheduled for publication on that date.
Q: What happens if I use a non-standard date format?
A: Quotion attempts to parse non-standard dates, but this can lead to issues:
- Parsing failures result in the date not being set
- Successful parsing may cause unexpected results due to timezone differences
- Best practice: Always use ISO 8601 format to avoid problems
Q: Can I use other standard date formats?
A: Yes, you can use standard formats such as UTC, RFC 2822 / RFC 822, or ISO 8601.
Q: Is the time zone important?
A: Yes, include the time zone offset (e.g., +01:00) to ensure accurate date and time interpretation.
Frontmatter Format
Quotion supports only === frontmatter. Traditional YAML --- is not
supported. Because Apple Notes converts --- to ―, making === the
preferred choice for compatibility.
