#1 At the top of note to replace note name?

pwitham

A thought regarding the naming of a note. Rather than just having the name and the ability to rename from the list, has any consideration been given to over-riding the name if the user puts a

New name

As the first line in a note? This would make it easier to change the name in flow and provide a formatted view of it at the same time.

OK so that was mean't to be '# New name'

That would be handy.

Being both a user and an advocate of MMD metadata convention, I'd suggest that the # New Name would be the first h1 in the document rather than the first line.

Seconded. Due to a different piece of software that tried to implement this, and being a YAML user, I had a bunch of files named "---" for a while, and that was not helpful.

However, I would suggest the first header of any sort, not just an h1. I do a bunch of transclusion of documents, so a lot of my files start with an h2 or h3 because I know they will later be under an h1 from another file.

This is both a good point and a clever way of working.
