Quartz emits listing pages for any folders and tags you have.
Folder Listings
Quartz will generate an index page for all the pages under that folder. This includes any content that is multiple levels deep.
Additionally, Quartz will also generate pages for subfolders. Say you have a note in a nested folder content/abc/def/note.md. Then Quartz would generate a page for all the notes under abc and a page for all the notes under abc/def.
You can link to the folder listing by referencing its name, plus a trailing slash, like this: [[advanced/]] (results in advanced).
By default, Quartz will title the page Folder: <folder name> and no description. You can override this by creating an index.md file in the folder with the title frontmatter field. Any content you write in this file will also be used in the folder description.
For example, for the folder content/posts, you can add another file content/posts/index.md to add a specific description for it.
Tag Listings
Quartz will also create an index page for each unique tag in your vault and render a list of all notes with that tag.
Quartz also supports tag hierarchies as well (e.g. plugin/emitter) and will also render a separate tag page for each level of the tag hierarchy. It will also create a default global tag index page at /tags that displays a list of all the tags in your Quartz.
You can link to the tag listing by referencing its name with a tag/ prefix, like this: [[tags/plugin]] (results in plugin).
As with folder listings, you can also provide a description and title for a tag page by creating a file for each tag. For example, if you wanted to create a custom description for thecomponent tag, you would create a file at content/tags/component.md with a title and description.
Customization
The folder listings are a functionality of the FolderPage plugin, the tag listings of the TagPage plugin. See the plugin pages for customization options.
