-#+vindex: denote-directory
-Notes are stored the ~denote-directory~. The default path is
-=~/Documents/notes=. The ~denote-directory~ can be a flat listing,
-meaning that it has no subdirectories, or it can be a directory tree.
-Either way, Denote takes care to only consider "notes" as valid
-candidates in the relevant operations and will omit other files or
-directories.
-
-[ Subdirectory support is part of {{{development-version}}} ]
-
-Every note produced by Denote follows this pattern
([[#h:17896c8c-d97a-4faa-abf6-31df99746ca6][Points of entry]]):
-
-: DATE--TITLE__KEYWORDS.EXTENSION
-
-The =DATE= field represents the date in year-month-day format followed
-by the capital letter =T= (for "time") and the current time in
-hour-minute-second notation. The presentation is compact:
-=20220531T091625=. The =DATE= serves as the unique identifier of each
-note.
-
-The =TITLE= field is the title of the note, as provided by the user. It
-automatically gets downcased and hyphenated. An entry about "Economics
-in the Euro Area" produces an =economics-in-the-euro-area= string for
-the =TITLE= of the file name.
-
-#+vindex: denote-allow-multi-word-keywords
-The =KEYWORDS= field consists of one or more entries demarcated by an
-underscore (the separator is inserted automatically). Each keyword is a
-string provided by the user at the relevant prompt which broadly
-describes the contents of the entry. Keywords that need to be more than
-one-word-long must be written with hyphens: any other character, such as
-spaces or the plus sign is automatically converted into a hyphen. So
-when =emacs_library= appears in a file name, it is interpreted as two
-distinct keywords, whereas =emacs-library= is one keyword. This is
-reflected in how the keywords are recorded in the note
([[#h:13218826-56a5-482a-9b91-5b6de4f14261][Front matter]]).
-While Denote supports multi-word keywords by default, the user option
-~denote-allow-multi-word-keywords~ can be set to nil to forcibly join
-all words into one, meaning that an input of =word1 word2= will be
-written as =word1word2=.
-
-#+vindex: denote-file-type
-The =EXTENSION= is the file type. By default, it is =.org= (~org-mode~)
-though the user option ~denote-file-type~ provides support for Markdown
-with YAML or TOML variants (=.md= which runs ~markdown-mode~) and plain
-text (=.txt= via ~text-mode~). Consult its doc string for the minutia.
-While files end in the =.org= extension by default, the Denote code base
-does not actually depend on org.el and/or its accoutrements.

-The different field separators, namely =--= and =__= introduce an
-efficient way to anchor searches (such as with Emacs commands like
-~isearch~ or from the command-line with ~find~ and related). A query
-for =_word= always matches a keyword, while a regexp in the form of,
-say, ="\\([0-9T]+?\\)--\\(.*?\\)_"= captures the date in group =\1= and
-the title in =\2= (test any regular expression in the current buffer by
-invoking =M-x re-builder=).

-
-Users can get a lot of value out of this simple arrangement, even if
-they have no knowledge of regular expressions. One thing to consider,
-for maximum effect, is to avoid using multi-word keywords as those get

-set the user option ~denote-allow-multi-word-keywords~ to nil or simply
-insert single words at the relevant prompts.
