Attribute Listings

Attributes are the building blocks of a Tinderbox note. This section contains listings of Tinderbox's system attributes in 3 different forms:

• System Attribute List. A full list of all the predefined attributes in a Tinderbox file. There are 420 system attributes.
• Attribute Data Types. Descriptions of the different attribute Data Types (now stored outside this section).
• Attribute Groups. Descriptions of the various Groups of attributes, as seen in the Attributes dialog's System pane.
• Attributes described by purpose.

Also in this section:

• Editing attribute values.
• Attribute naming guidelines.
• Determining the data type of an attribute
• Use of the $ prefix for attribute references

Remember that the attribute value actually used at note level is subject to inheritance. As well as setting a new value to an attribute Tinderbox offers ways to:

• Set/reset an attribute's default.
• Use attributes as global variables/constants.
• Set no value for an attribute and re-enable inheritance.
• Rename an attribute.
