ZettelMark: Tags Line

While tags were included in Luhmann’s original zettelkasten, he did not depend on them heavily for all the reasons that tags are cautioned on YouTube, (mostly that the content itself should not need additional hinting with tags if created well). Nevertheless, there is some practicality and since Twitter and YouTube both support them it makes sense to include.

• Must be absolutely the last line
• Must start with 4 or more spaces, then # (first tag)
• Must not exceed 72 total columns for line
• Only hashtags (no whitespace) separated by single space
• Avoid redundant tags when content itself would suffice

     #100daysofcode #zettelkasten

Note that only 72 total columns (runes) are allowed for the tags line and that it must be the very last line. This is a hard constraint of ZettelMark (not EzMark) and zettels will be rejected without fixing this. This constraint is specifically to force cognitive overhead when creating tags so that only the shortest and best few are selected.
