Which special characters can be used to distinguish special tags? about zetteldeft HOT 3 CLOSED

Which chars are supported?

All the characters in the regexp. Tags should start with # or @ and then use normal text characters, a _ or a -. See also section 2.3 in the literate code at https://www.eliasstorms.net/zetteldeft/zetteldeft.html

Which "special" character would you recommend for such a use case?

I'd use a _ as a first character of your tag -- unless you want to change the zetteldeft-regex, then you can use whatever you configure.

So the request is to be able to use - in the tags? Have you tried modifying the zetteldeft-tag-regex to recognize such tags?

EDIT: Whoops, should have been "to use : in tags."

Not - because it works fine. But I want something more special like : or ::.
I do not know about zetteldeft-tag-regex. It's default value is "[#@][[:alnum:]_-]+".

No matter if I know how to use regex or not. As a emacs/zetteldeft novice I would prefer not to modify any defaults.

To be more specific with my request:

• Which chars are supported?
• Which "special" character would you recommend for such a use case?
