CZON Document Date Declaration Tips

Technical Features

This article introduces a usage tip for the CZON document system: declaring dates directly within the document body. Unlike traditional Markdown documents, which require date declaration via YAML Frontmatter (which can easily lead to recognition failure if the field is forgotten), CZON supports free-format date declarations within the body (e.g., 'Today is January 8, 2026'). The AI will automatically extract and infer the date information to use as the document's creation date. This method is more flexible and intelligent, avoiding Frontmatter field memorization issues and improving the user experience. Furthermore, documents with dates can generate timeline views, making them suitable for content types like diaries and blogs that require timeline management.
