Formats

Detangle sniffs what kind of wiki a folder is before it reads it, because the conventions genuinely differ — the same link text means different things in different tools.

What is recognised

Convention	Detected by	What changes
Obsidian	`.obsidian/`	Wikilinks, `^blockid` anchors, `\\|` aliases and sizes
Logseq	`logseq/`	`key:: value` properties, `((uuid))` block references, `#tag` as a page
MkDocs	`mkdocs.yml`	Navigation read from the config; `!!!` admonitions
Docusaurus	`docusaurus.config.*`	`slug:` overrides the path; `sidebars.js` orders the tree
Dendron	`dendron.yml`	Dot hierarchies — `a.b.c.md` is one filename, not an extension
Foam	`.vscode/foam.json`	Wikilinks over a VS Code workspace
Quartz	`quartz.config.ts`	Obsidian conventions, published
Hugo	`config.toml`, `hugo.toml`	TOML frontmatter, `content/` roots, page bundles
Jekyll	`_config.yml`	`_posts/` date-prefixed filenames
MDBook	`book.toml`	`SUMMARY.md` is the navigation
Zettelkasten	`NNNNNNNNNNNN-` filenames	Identifier links
LLM Wiki	`wiki/` beside `raw/`	Frontmatter references treated as links
Plain markdown	nothing in particular	Everything above, best-effort

Flavor profiles

A profile decides which chain steps are enabled and which syntaxes are parsed. Dendron prefers the frontmatter title over its dot-path filename; Logseq treats a #tag as a link to a page; Hugo reads TOML between +++ fences.

The detected flavor is shown in the status bar. Nothing is hidden behind it: if the sniffer is wrong, the worst case is that a rule you did not need was enabled.

Frontmatter

Four delimiter styles are read — YAML between ---, TOML between +++, JSON between ;;;, and Logseq's key:: value lines — and their keys are folded into one set, because the same concept appears under half a dozen spellings across these tools.

aliases/alias/aka become one list. tags/tag/keywords/categories become one list. updated/modified/last_modified_at become one date. sources/related/links/ see-also/refs/parent/up become links — those are the ones other viewers drop, which is why their graphs are smaller than the wiki really is.

Anything not recognised is kept verbatim and shown in the properties card.
