This article introduces an innovative date declaration method in the CZON document system, allowing users to directly declare dates in free format within the document body (e.g., 'Today is January 8, 2026'), with the system automatically recognizing and processing them as document creation dates. Compared to the traditional Markdown approach relying on fixed fields in YAML Frontmatter, this method is more flexible and intelligent, avoiding issues of forgetting to fill in fields.

Declaring Dates in the Body

You can use date declarations like "Today is January 8, 2026" directly within the body text (format style is flexible). CZON will automatically recognize and process them.

Traditional Markdown documents declare dates via YAML Frontmatter, which requires remembering the correct field names; otherwise, dates may not be recognized correctly.

CZON supports declaring dates directly within the body text, eliminating the issue of forgetting to fill in Frontmatter fields.

The AI will automatically extract and infer date information from the body text and treat it as the document's creation date.

This approach is more flexible and intelligent, enhancing the user experience.

As a side note, documents with dates can generate a timeline view, making browsing and management easier. This is particularly suitable for content types like diaries and blogs that benefit from a timeline.
