@node Introduction
@chapter Introduction

Org-roam is a tool for networked thought. It reproduces some of @uref{https://roamresearch.com/, Roam
Research's} @footnote{To understand more about Roam, a collection of links are available in @ref{Note-taking Workflows}.} key features within @uref{https://orgmode.org/, Org-mode}.

Org-roam allows for effortless non-hierarchical note-taking: with Org-roam,
notes flow naturally, making note-taking fun and easy. Org-roam augments the
Org-mode syntax, and will work for anyone already using Org-mode for their
personal wiki.

Org-roam leverages the mature ecosystem around Org-mode. For example, it has
first-class support for @uref{https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref, org-ref} for citation management, and is able to
piggyback off Org's excellent @LaTeX{} and source-block evaluation capabilities.

Org-roam provides these benefits over other tooling:

@itemize
@item
@strong{Privacy and Security:} Your personal wiki belongs only to you, entirely
offline and in your control. Encrypt your notes with GPG@.

@item
@strong{Longevity of Plain Text:} Unlike web solutions like Roam Research, the notes
are first and foremost plain Org-mode files -- Org-roam simply builds an
auxiliary database to give the personal wiki superpowers. Having your notes
in plain-text is crucial for the longevity of your wiki. Never have to worry
about proprietary web solutions being taken down. The notes are still
functional even if Org-roam ceases to exist.

@item
@strong{Free and Open Source:} Org-roam is free and open-source, which means that if
you feel unhappy with any part of Org-roam, you may choose to extend Org-roam,
or open a pull request.

@item
@strong{Leverage the Org-mode ecosystem:} Over the decades, Emacs and Org-mode has
developed into a mature system for plain-text organization. Building upon
Org-mode already puts Org-roam light-years ahead of many other solutions.

@item
@strong{Built on Emacs:} Emacs is also a fantastic interface for editing text, and
Org-roam inherits many of the powerful text-navigation and editing packages
available to Emacs.
@end itemize

@node Target Audience
@chapter Target Audience

Org-roam is a tool that will appear unfriendly to anyone unfamiliar with Emacs
and Org-mode, but it is also extremely powerful to those willing to put effort
in mastering the intricacies. Org-roam stands on the shoulders of giants. Emacs
was first created in 1976, and remains the tool of choice for many for editing
text and designing textual interfaces. The malleability of Emacs allowed the
creation of Org-mode, an all-purpose plain-text system for maintaining TODO
lists, planning projects, and authoring documents. Both of these tools are
incredibly vast and require significant time investment to master.

Org-roam assumes only basic familiarity with these tools. It is not difficult to
get up and running with basic text-editing functionality, but one will only
fully appreciate the power of building Roam functionality into Emacs and
Org-mode when the usage of these tools become more advanced.

One key advantage to Org-roam is that building on top of Emacs gives it
malleability. This is especially important for note-taking workflows. It is our
belief that note-taking workflows are extremely personal, and there is no one
tool that's perfect for you. Org-mode and Org-roam allows you to discover what
works for you, and build that perfect tool for yourself.

If you are new to the software, and choose to take this leap of faith, I hope
you find yourself equally entranced as Neal Stephenson was.

@quotation
Emacs outshines all other editing software in approximately the same way that
the noonday sun does the stars. It is not just bigger and brighter; it simply
makes everything else vanish. – Neal Stephenson, In the Beginning was the
Command Line (1998)

@node A Brief Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method
@chapter A Brief Introduction to the Zettelkasten Method

Org-roam provides utilities for maintaining a digital slip-box. This section
aims to provide a brief introduction to the ``slip-box'', or ``Zettelkasten''
method. By providing some background on the method, we hope that the design
decisions of Org-roam will become clear, and that will aid in using Org-roam
appropriately. In this section we will introduce terms commonly used within the
Zettelkasten community and the Org-roam forums.

The Zettelkasten is a personal tool for thinking and writing. It places heavy
emphasis on connecting ideas, building up a web of thought. Hence, it is well
suited for knowledge workers and intellectual tasks, such as conducting
research. The Zettelkasten can act as a research partner, where conversations
with it may produce new and surprising lines of thought.

This method is attributed to German sociologist Niklas Luhmann, who using the
method had produced volumes of written works. Luhmann's slip-box was simply a
box of cards. These cards are small -- often only large enough to fit a single
concept. The size limitation encourages ideas to be broken down into individual
concepts. These ideas are explicitly linked together. The breakdown of ideas
encourages tangential exploration of ideas, increasing the surface for thought.
Making linking explicit between notes also encourages one to think about the
connections between concepts.

At the corner of each note, Luhmann ascribed each note with an ordered ID,
allowing him to link and jump between notes. In Org-roam, we simply use
hyperlinks.

Org-roam is the slip-box, digitalized in Org-mode. Every zettel (card) is a
plain-text, Org-mode file. In the same way one would maintain a paper slip-box,
Org-roam makes it easy to create new zettels, pre-filling boilerplate content
using a powerful templating system.

@strong{Fleeting notes}

A slip-box requires a method for quickly capturing ideas. These are called
@strong{fleeting notes}: they are simple reminders of information or ideas that will
need to be processed later on, or trashed. This is typically accomplished using
@code{org-capture} (see @ref{Capture,,,org,}), or using Org-roam's daily notes
functionality (see @ref{Org-roam Dailies}). This provides a central inbox for collecting
thoughts, to be processed later into permanent notes.

@strong{Permanent notes}

Permanent notes are further split into two categories: @strong{literature notes} and
@strong{concept notes}. Literature notes can be brief annotations on a particular
source (e.g. book, website or paper), that you'd like to access later on.
Concept notes require much more care in authoring: they need to be
self-explanatory and detailed. Org-roam's templating system supports the
addition of different templates to facilitate the creation of these notes.

For further reading on the Zettelkasten method, ``How to Take Smart Notes'' by
Sonke Ahrens is a decent guide.

@node Installation
@chapter Installation

Org-roam can be installed using Emacs' package manager or manually from its
development repository.

@menu
* Installing from MELPA::
* Installing from Source::
* Installation Troubleshooting::
@end menu

@node Installing from MELPA
@section Installing from MELPA

Org-roam is available from Melpa and Melpa-Stable. If you haven't used Emacs'
package manager before, you may familiarize yourself with it by reading the
documentation in the Emacs manual, see @ref{Packages,,,emacs,}. Then, add one of the
archives to @samp{package-archives}:

@itemize
@item
To use Melpa:
@end itemize

@lisp
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa" . "http://melpa.org/packages/") t)
@end lisp

@itemize
@item
To use Melpa-Stable:
@end itemize

@lisp
(require 'package)
(add-to-list 'package-archives
             '("melpa-stable" . "http://stable.melpa.org/packages/") t)
@end lisp

Org-roam also depends on a recent version of Org, which can be obtained in Org's
package repository (see @ref{Installation,,,org,}). To use Org's ELPA archive:

@lisp
(add-to-list 'package-archives '("org" . "https://orgmode.org/elpa/") t)
@end lisp

Once you have added your preferred archive, you need to update the
local package list using:

@example
M-x package-refresh-contents RET
@end example

Once you have done that, you can install Org-roam and its dependencies
using:

@example
M-x package-install RET org-roam RET
@end example

@node Installing from Source
@section Installing from Source

You may install Org-roam directly from the repository on @uref{https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam, GitHub} if you like.
This will give you access to the latest version hours or days before it appears
on MELPA, and months (or more) before it is added to the Debian or Ubuntu
repositories. This will also give you access to various developmental branches
that may be available.

Note, however, that development version, and especially any feature branches,
may not always be in working order. You'll need to be prepared to do some
debugging, or to manually roll-back to working versions, if you install from
GitHub.

Installing from GitHub requires that you clone the repository:

@example
git clone https://github.com/org-roam/org-roam.git /path/to/org/roam
@end example

where @code{./path/to/org/roam} is the location you will store your copy of the code.

Next, you need to add this location to your load path, and @code{require} the
Org-roam library. Add the following code to your @code{.emacs}:

@lisp
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org/roam")
(require 'org-roam)
@end lisp

You now have Org-roam installed. However, you don't necessarily have the
dependencies that it requires. These include:

@itemize
@item
dash

@item
f

@item
s

@item
org

@item
emacsql

@item
emacsql-sqlite

@item
magit-section
@end itemize

You can install this manually as well, or get the latest version from MELPA@. You
may wish to use @uref{https://github.com/jwiegley/use-package, use-package}, @uref{https://github.com/raxod502/straight.el, straight.el} to help manage this.

If you would like to install the manual for access from Emacs' built-in Info
system, you'll need to compile the .texi source file, and install it in an
appropriate location.

To compile the .texi source file, from a terminal navigate to the @code{/doc}
subdirectory of the Org-roam repository, and run the following:

@example
make infodir=/path/to/my/info/files install-info
@end example

Where @code{/path/to/my/info/files} is the location where you keep info files. This
target directory needs to be stored in the variable
`Info-default-directory-list`. If you aren't using one of the default info
locations, you can configure this with the following in your @code{.emacs} file:

@lisp
(require 'info)
(add-to-list 'Info-default-directory-list
             "/path/to/my/info/files")
@end lisp

You can also use one of the default locations, such as:

@itemize
@item
@emph{usr/local/share/info}

@item
@emph{usr/share/info}

@item
@emph{usr/local/share/info}
@end itemize

If you do this, you'll need to make sure you have write-access to that location,
or run the above @code{make} command as root.

Now that the info file is ready, you need to add it to the corresponding @code{dir}
file:

@example
install-info /path/to/my/info/files/org-roam.info /path/to/my/info/files/dir
@end example

@node Installation Troubleshooting
@section Installation Troubleshooting

@menu
* C Compiler::
@end menu

@node C Compiler
@subsection C Compiler

Org-roam relies on an Emacs package called @code{emacsql} and @code{emacsql-sqlite} to
work with the @code{sqlite} database. Both of them should be installed automatically
in your Emacs environment as a prerequisite for Org-roam when you install it.

@code{emacsql-sqlite} requires a C compiler (e.g. @code{gcc} or @code{clang}) to be present in
your computer. How to install a C compiler depends on the OS that you use.

@menu
* C Compiler for Windows::
@end menu

@node C Compiler for Windows
@unnumberedsubsubsec C Compiler for Windows

One of the easiest ways to install a C compiler in Windows is to use @uref{https://www.msys2.org/, MSYS2} as at the time of this writing:

@itemize
@item
Download and use the installer in the official MSYS2 website

@item
Run MSYS2 and in its terminal, type the following and answer ``Y'' to
proceed -- this will install @code{gcc} in your PC:

@example
pacman -S gcc
@end example


@item
On Windows, add @code{C:\msys64\usr\bin} (command @samp{where gcc} in MSYS2 terminal
can tell you the correct path) to @code{PATH} in your environmental variables


@item
Launch Emacs and call @code{M-x org-roam-db-autosync-mode} (launch Emacs after
defining the path, so that Emacs can recognize it)
@end itemize

This will automatically start compiling @code{emacsql-sqlite}; you should see a
message in minibuffer. It may take a while until compilation completes. Once
complete, you should see a new file @code{emacsql-sqlite.exe} created in a subfolder
named @code{sqlite} under @code{emacsql-sqlite} installation folder. It's typically in
your Emacs configuration folder like this:
@code{/.config/emacs/elpa/emacsql-sqlite-20190727.1710/sqlite}

@end menu

@node The Org-roam Node
@section The Org-roam Node

We first begin with some terminology we'll use throughout the manual. We term
the basic denomination in Org-roam a node. We define a node as follows:

@quotation
A node is any headline or top level file with an ID@.

@end quotation

For example, with this example file content:

@example
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       foo
:END:
#+title: Foo

* Bar
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       bar
:END:
@end example

We create two nodes:

@itemize
@item
A file node ``Foo'' with id @code{foo}.

@item
A headline node ``Bar'' with id @code{bar}.
@end itemize

Headlines without IDs will not be considered Org-roam nodes. Org IDs can be
added to files or headlines via the interactive command @code{M-x org-id-get-create}.

@node Links between Nodes
@section Links between Nodes

We link between nodes using Org's standard ID link (e.g. @code{id:foo}). While only
ID links will be considered during the computation of links between nodes,
Org-roam caches all other links in the documents for external use.

@node Setting up Org-roam
@section Setting up Org-roam

Org-roam's capabilities stem from its aggressive caching: it crawls all files
within @code{org-roam-directory}, and maintains a cache of all links and nodes.

To start using Org-roam, pick a location to store the Org-roam files. The
directory that will contain your notes is specified by the variable
@code{org-roam-directory}. Org-roam searches recursively within @code{org-roam-directory}
for notes. This variable needs to be set before any calls to Org-roam functions.

For this tutorial, create an empty directory, and set @code{org-roam-directory}:

@lisp
(make-directory "~/org-roam")
(setq org-roam-directory (file-truename "~/org-roam"))
@end lisp

The @code{file-truename} function is only necessary when you use symbolic links
inside @code{org-roam-directory}: Org-roam does not resolve symbolic links. One can
however instruct Emacs to always resolve symlinks, at a performance cost:

@lisp
(setq find-file-visit-truename t)
@end lisp

Next, we setup Org-roam to run functions on file changes to maintain cache
consistency. This is achieved by running @code{M-x org-roam-db-autosync-mode}. To
ensure that Org-roam is available on startup, place this in your Emacs
configuration:

@lisp
(org-roam-db-autosync-mode)
@end lisp

To build the cache manually, run @code{M-x org-roam-db-sync}. Cache builds may
take a while the first time, but subsequent builds are often instantaneous
because they only reprocess modified files.

@node Creating and Linking Nodes
@section Creating and Linking Nodes

Org-roam makes it easy to create notes and link them together. There are 2 main
functions for creating nodes:

@itemize
@item
@code{org-roam-node-insert}: creates a node if it does not exist, and inserts a
link to the node at point.

@item
@code{org-roam-node-find}: creates a node if it does not exist, and visits the
node.

@item
@code{org-roam-capture}: creates a node if it does not exist, and restores the
current window configuration upon completion.
@end itemize

Let's first try @code{org-roam-node-find}. Calling @code{M-x org-roam-node-find} will
show a list of titles for nodes that reside in @code{org-roam-directory}. It should
show nothing right now, since there are no notes in the directory. Enter the
title of the note you wish to create, and press @code{RET}. This begins the note
creation process. This process uses @code{org-capture}'s templating system, and can
be customized (see @ref{The Templating System}). Using the default template, pressing
@code{C-c C-c} finishes the note capture.

Now that we have a node, we can try inserting a link to the node using @code{M-x
org-roam-node-insert}. This brings up the list of nodes, which should contain
the node you just created. Selecting the node will insert an @code{id:} link to the
node. If you instead entered a title that does not exist, you will once again be
brought through the node creation process.

One can also conveniently insert links via the completion-at-point functions
Org-roam provides (see @ref{Completion}).

@node Customizing Node Completions
@section Customizing Node Completions

Node selection is achieved via the @code{completing-read} interface, typically
through `org-roam-node-read`. The presentation of these nodes are governed by
@code{org-roam-node-display-template}.

@defvar org-roam-node-display-template

Configures display formatting for Org-roam node.

Patterns of form ``$@{field-name:length@}'' are interpolated based
on the current node.

Each ``field-name'' is replaced with the return value of each
corresponding accessor function for org-roam-node, e.g.
``$@{title@}'' will be interpolated by the result of
org-roam-node-title. You can also define custom accessors using
cl-defmethod. For example, you can define:

(cl-defmethod org-roam-node-my-title ((node org-roam-node))
  (concat ``My '' (org-roam-node-title node)))

and then reference it here or in the capture templates as
``$@{my-title@}''.

``length'' is an optional specifier and declares how many
characters can be used to display the value of the corresponding
field. If it's not specified, the field will be inserted as is,
i.e. it won't be aligned nor trimmed. If it's an integer, the
field will be aligned accordingly and all the exceeding
characters will be trimmed out. If it's ``*'', the field will use
as many characters as possible and will be aligned accordingly.

A closure can also be assigned to this variable in which case the
closure is evaluated and the return value is used as the
template. The closure must evaluate to a valid template string.
@end defvar

If you're using a vertical completion framework, such as Ivy and Selectrum,
Org-roam supports the generation of an aligned, tabular completion interface.
For example, to include a column for tags up to 10 character widths wide, one
can set @code{org-roam-node-display-template} as such:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-node-display-template
      (concat "$@{title:*@} "
              (propertize "$@{tags:10@}" 'face 'org-tag)))
@end lisp

@node How to cache
@section How to cache

Org-roam uses a sqlite database to perform caching, but there are multiple Emacs
libraries that can be used. The default used by Org-roam is @code{emacs-sqlite}.
Below the pros and cons of each package is used:

@uref{https://github.com/skeeto/emacsql, @strong{@strong{emacs-sqlite}}}

The default option used by Org-roam. This library is the most mature and
well-supported and is imported by default in Org-roam.

One downside of using @code{emacs-sqlite} is that using it requires compilation and
can cause issues in some environments (especially Windows). If you have issues
producing the customized binary required by @code{emacs-sqlite}, consider using
@code{emacs-sqlite3}.

@uref{https://github.com/cireu/emacsql-sqlite3, @strong{@strong{emacs-sqlite3}}}

@code{emacs-sqlite3} uses the official sqlite3 binary that can be obtained from your
system's package manager. This is useful if you have issues producing the
@code{sqlite3} binary required by the other packages. However, it is not recommended
because it has some compatibility issues with Emacs, but should work for most
regular cases. See @uref{https://nullprogram.com/blog/2014/02/06/, Chris Wellon's blog post} for more information.

To use @code{emacsql-sqlite3}, ensure that the package is installed, and set:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-database-connector 'sqlite3)
@end lisp

@uref{https://github.com/emacscollective/emacsql-libsqlite3/, @strong{@strong{emacsql-libsqlite3}}}

@code{emacs-libsqlite3} is a relatively young package which uses an Emacs module that
exposes parts of the SQLite C API to Emacs Lisp, instead of using subprocess as
@code{emacsql-sqlite} does. It is expected to be a more performant drop-in
replacement for @code{emacs-sqlite}.

At the moment it is experimental and does not work well with the SQL query load
required by Org-roam, but you may still try it by ensuring the package is
installed and setting:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-database-connector 'libsqlite3)
@end lisp

@node What to cache
@section What to cache

By default, all nodes (any headline or file with an ID) are cached by Org-roam.
There are instances where you may want to have headlines with ID, but not have
them cached by Org-roam.

To exclude a headline from the Org-roam database, set the @code{ROAM_EXCLUDE}
property to a non-nil value. For example:

@example
* Foo
  :PROPERTIES:
  :ID:       foo
  :ROAM_EXCLUDE: t
  :END:
@end example

One can also set @code{org-roam-db-node-include-function}. For example, to exclude
all headlines with the @code{ATTACH} tag from the Org-roam database, one can set:

@example
(setq org-roam-db-node-include-function
      (lambda ()
        (not (member "ATTACH" (org-get-tags)))))
@end example

Org-roam relied on the obtained Org AST for the buffer to parse links. However,
links appearing in some places (e.g. within property drawers) are not considered
by the Org AST to be links. Therefore, Org-roam takes special care of
additionally trying to process these links. Use
@code{org-roam-db-extra-links-elements} to specify which additional Org AST element
types to consider.

@defvar org-roam-db-extra-links-elements

The list of Org element types to include for parsing by Org-roam.

By default, when parsing Org's AST, links within keywords and
property drawers are not parsed as links. Sometimes however, it
is desirable to parse and cache these links (e.g. hiding links in
a property drawer).
@end defvar

Additionally, one may want to ignore certain keys from being excluded within
property drawers. For example, we would not want @code{ROAM_REFS} links to be
self-referential. Hence, to exclude specific keys, we use
@code{org-roam-db-extra-links-exclude-keys}.

@defvar org-roam-db-extra-links-exclude-keys

Keys to ignore when mapping over links.

The car of the association list is the Org element type (e.g. keyword). The
cdr is a list of case-insensitive strings to exclude from being treated as
links.
@end defvar

@node When to cache
@section When to cache

By default, Org-roam is eager in caching: each time an Org-roam file is modified
and saved, it updates the database for the corresponding file. This keeps the
database up-to-date, causing the least surprise when using the interactive
commands.

However, depending on how large your Org files are, database updating can be a
slow operation. You can disable the automatic updating of the database by
setting @code{org-roam-db-update-on-save} to @code{nil}.

@defvar org-roam-db-update-on-save
@end defvar

If t, update the Org-roam database upon saving the file. Disable this if your
files are large and updating the database is slow.

@node The Org-roam Buffer
@chapter The Org-roam Buffer

Org-roam provides the Org-roam buffer: an interface to view relationships with
other notes (backlinks, reference links, unlinked references etc.). There are
two main commands to use here:

@itemize
@item
@code{org-roam-buffer-toggle}: Launch an Org-roam buffer that tracks the node
currently at point. This means that the content of the buffer changes as the
point is moved, if necessary.

@item
@code{org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated}: Launch an Org-roam buffer for a specific
node without visiting its file. Unlike @code{org-roam-buffer-toggle} you can have
multiple such buffers and their content won't be automatically replaced with a
new node at point.
@end itemize

To bring up a buffer that tracks the current node at point, call @code{M-x
org-roam-buffer-toggle}.

@defun org-roam-buffer-toggle

Toggle display of the @code{org-roam-buffer}.
@end defun

To bring up a buffer that's dedicated for a specific node, call @code{M-x
org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated}.

@defun org-roam-buffer-display-dedicated

Launch node dedicated Org-roam buffer without visiting the node itself.
@end defun

@node Navigating the Org-roam Buffer
@section Navigating the Org-roam Buffer

The Org-roam buffer uses @code{magit-section}, making the typical @code{magit-section}
keybindings available. Here are several of the more useful ones:

@itemize
@item
@code{M-@{N@}}: @code{magit-section-show-level-@{N@}-all}

@item
@code{n}: @code{magit-section-forward}

@item
@code{<TAB>}: @code{magit-section-toggle}

@item
@code{<RET>}: @code{org-roam-buffer-visit-thing}
@end itemize

@code{org-roam-buffer-visit-thing} is a placeholder command, that is replaced by
section-specific commands such as @code{org-roam-node-visit}.

@node Configuring what is displayed in the buffer
@section Configuring what is displayed in the buffer

There are currently 3 provided widget types:

@itemize
 @item
 BacklinksView (preview of) nodes that link to this node

@item
 Reference LinksNodes that reference this node (see @ref{Refs})

@item
 Unlinked referencesView nodes that contain text that match the nodes
title/alias but are not linked
@end itemize

To configure what sections are displayed in the buffer, set ~org-roam-mode-sections.

@lisp
(setq org-roam-mode-sections
      (list #'org-roam-backlinks-section
            #'org-roam-reflinks-section
            ;; #'org-roam-unlinked-references-section
            ))
@end lisp

Note that computing unlinked references may be slow, and has not been added in by default.

For each section function, you can pass args along to modify its behaviour. For
example, if you want to render unique sources for backlinks (and also keep
rendering reference links), set @code{org-roam-mode-sections} as follows:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-mode-sections
      '((org-roam-backlinks-section :unique t)
        org-roam-reflinks-section))
@end lisp

@node Configuring the Org-roam buffer display
@section Configuring the Org-roam buffer display

Org-roam does not control how the pop-up buffer is displayed: this is left to
the user. The author's recommended configuration is as follows:

@lisp
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '("\\*org-roam\\*"
               (display-buffer-in-direction)
               (direction . right)
               (window-width . 0.33)
               (window-height . fit-window-to-buffer)))
@end lisp

Crucially, the window is a regular window (not a side-window), and this allows
for predictable navigation:

@itemize
@item
@code{RET} navigates to thing-at-point in the current window, replacing the
Org-roam buffer.

@item
@code{C-u RET} navigates to thing-at-point in the other window.
@end itemize

For users that prefer using a side-window for the org-roam buffer, the following
example configuration should provide a good starting point:

@lisp
(add-to-list 'display-buffer-alist
             '("\\*org-roam\\*"
               (display-buffer-in-side-window)
               (side . right)
               (slot . 0)
               (window-width . 0.33)
               (window-parameters . ((no-other-window . t)
                                     (no-delete-other-windows . t)))))

@end menu

@node Standard Org properties
@section Standard Org properties

Org-roam caches most of the standard Org properties. The full list now includes:

@itemize
@item
outline level

@item
todo state

@item
priority

@item
scheduled

@item
deadline

@item
tags
@end itemize

@node Titles and Aliases
@section Titles and Aliases

Each node has a single title. For file nodes, this is specified with the
`#+title` property for the file. For headline nodes, this is the main text.

Nodes can also have multiple aliases. Aliases allow searching for nodes via an
alternative name. For example, one may want to assign a well-known acronym (AI)
to a node titled ``Artificial Intelligence''.

To assign an alias to a node, add the ``ROAM@math{_ALIASES}'' property to the node:

@example
* Artificial Intelligence
:PROPERTIES:
:ROAM_ALIASES: AI
:END:
@end example

Alternatively, Org-roam provides some functions to add or remove aliases.

@defun org-roam-alias-add alias

Add ALIAS to the node at point. When called interactively, prompt for the
alias to add.
@end defun

@defun org-roam-alias-remove

Remove an alias from the node at point.
@end defun

@node Tags
@section Tags

Tags for top-level (file) nodes are pulled from the variable @code{org-file-tags},
which is set by the @code{#+filetags} keyword, as well as other tags the file may
have inherited. Tags for headline level nodes are regular Org tags.

Note that the @code{#+filetags} keyword results in tags being inherited by headers
within the file. This makes it impossible for selective tag inheritance: i.e.
either tag inheritance is turned off, or all headline nodes will inherit the
tags from the file node. This is a design compromise of Org-roam.

@node Refs
@section Refs

Refs are unique identifiers for nodes. These keys allow references to the key to
show up in the Org-roam buffer. For example, a node for a website may use the URL
as the ref, and a node for a paper may use an Org-ref citation key.

To add a ref, add to the ``ROAM@math{_REFS}'' property as follows:

@example
* Google
:PROPERTIES:
:ROAM_REFS: https://www.google.com/
:END:
@end example

With the above example, if another node links to @uref{https://www.google.com/}, it
will show up as a “reference backlink”.

These keys also come in useful for when taking website notes, using the
 @code{roam-ref} protocol (see @ref{Org-roam Protocol, , Roam Protocol}).

You may assign multiple refs to a single node, for example when you want
multiple papers in a series to share the same note, or an article has a citation
key and a URL at the same time.

Org-roam also provides some functions to add or remove refs.

@defun org-roam-ref-add ref

Add REF to the node at point. When called interactively, prompt for the
ref to add.
@end defun

@defun org-roam-ref-remove

Remove a ref from the node at point.
@end defun

@node Citations
@chapter Citations

Since version 9.5, Org has first-class support for citations. Org-roam supports
the caching of both these in-built citations (of form @code{[cite:@@key]}) and @uref{https://github.com/jkitchin/org-ref, org-ref}
citations (of form cite:key).

Org-roam attempts to load both the @code{org-ref} and @code{org-cite} package when
indexing files, so no further setup from the user is required for citation
support.

@menu
* Using the Cached Information::
@end menu

@node Using the Cached Information
@section Using the Cached Information

It is common to use take reference notes for academic papers. To designate the
node to be the canonical node for the academic paper, we can use its unique
citation key:

@example
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: @@thrun2005probabilistic
:END:
@end example

or

@example
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: [cite:@@thrun2005probabilistic]
:END:
@end example

for @code{org-cite}, or:

@example
* Probabilistic Robotics
:PROPERTIES:
:ID:       51b7b82c-bbb4-4822-875a-ed548cffda10
:ROAM_REFS: cite:thrun2005probabilistic
:END:
@end example

for @code{org-ref}.

When another node has a citation for that key, we can see it using the
@code{Reflinks} section of the Org-roam buffer.

Extension developers may be interested in retrieving the citations within their
notes. This information can be found within the @code{citation} table of the Org-roam
database.

@node Completion
@chapter Completion

Completions for Org-roam are provided via @code{completion-at-point}. Org-roam
currently provides completions in two scenarios:

@itemize
@item
When within an Org bracket link

@item
Anywhere
@end itemize

Completions are installed locally in all Org-roam files. To trigger completions,
call @code{M-x completion-at-point}. If using @code{company-mode}, add @code{company-capf} to
@code{company-backends}.

Completions respect @code{completion-styles}: the user is free to choose how
candidates are matched. An example of a completion style that has grown in
popularity is @uref{https://github.com/oantolin/orderless, orderless}.

@menu
* Completing within Link Brackets::
* Completing anywhere::
@end menu

@node Completing within Link Brackets
@section Completing within Link Brackets

Completions within link brackets are provided by
@code{org-roam-complete-link-at-point}.

The completion candidates are the titles and aliases for all Org-roam nodes.
Upon choosing a candidate, a @code{roam:Title} link will be inserted, linking to node
of choice.

@node Completing anywhere
@section Completing anywhere

The same completions can be triggered anywhere for the symbol at point if not
within a bracketed link. This is provided by @code{org-roam-complete-everywhere}.
Similarly, the completion candidates are the titles and aliases for all Org-roam
nodes, and upon choosing a candidate a @code{roam:Title} link will be inserted
linking to the node of choice.

This is disable by default. To enable it, set @code{org-roam-completion-everywhere}
to @code{t}:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-completion-everywhere t)
@end lisp

@defvar org-roam-completion-everywhere
@end defvar

When non-nil, provide link completion matching outside of Org links.

@node Encryption
@chapter Encryption

Emacs has support for creating and editing encrypted gpg files, and Org-roam need
not provide additional tooling. To create encrypted files, simply add the @code{.gpg}
extension in your Org-roam capture templates. For example:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-capture-templates '(("d" "default" plain "%?"
     :target (file+head "$@{slug@}.org.gpg"
                        "#+title: $@{title@}\n")
     :unnarrowed t)))
@end lisp

Note that the Org-roam database stores metadata information in plain-text
(headline text, for example), so if this information is private to you then you
should also ensure the database is encrypted.

@node Org-roam Protocol
@chapter Org-roam Protocol

Org-roam provides extensions for capturing content from external applications
such as the browser, via @code{org-protocol}. Org-roam extends @code{org-protocol} with 2
protocols: the @code{roam-node} and @code{roam-ref} protocols.

@menu
* Installation: Installation (1). 
* The roam-node protocol::
* The roam-ref protocol::
@end menu

@node Installation (1)
@section Installation

To enable Org-roam's protocol extensions, simply add the following to your init
file:

@lisp
(require 'org-roam-protocol)
@end lisp

We also need to set up @code{org-protocol}: the instructions for setting up
@code{org-protocol} are reproduced here.

On a high-level, external calls are passed to Emacs via @code{emacsclient}.
@code{org-protocol} intercepts these and runs custom actions based on the protocols
registered. Hence, to use @code{org-protocol}, once must:

@itemize
@item
launch the @code{emacsclient} process

@item
Register @code{org-protocol://} as a valid scheme-handler
@end itemize

The instructions for the latter for each operating system is detailed below.

@menu
* Linux::
* Mac OS::
* Windows::
@end menu

@node Linux
@subsection Linux

For Linux users, create a desktop application in
@code{~/.local/share/applications/org-protocol.desktop}:

@example
[Desktop Entry]
Name=Org-Protocol
Exec=emacsclient %u
Icon=emacs-icon
Type=Application
Terminal=false
MimeType=x-scheme-handler/org-protocol
@end example

Associate @code{org-protocol://} links with the desktop application by
running in your shell:

@example
xdg-mime default org-protocol.desktop x-scheme-handler/org-protocol
@end example

To disable the ``confirm'' prompt in Chrome, you can also make Chrome show a
checkbox to tick, so that the @code{Org-Protocol Client} app will be used without
confirmation. To do this, run in a shell:

@example
sudo mkdir -p /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/
sudo tee /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/external_protocol_dialog.json >/dev/null <<'EOF'
@{
  "ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox": true
@}
EOF
sudo chmod 644 /etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed/external_protocol_dialog.json
@end example

and then restart Chrome (for example, by navigating to <chrome://restart>) to
make the new policy take effect.

See @uref{https://www.chromium.org/administrators/linux-quick-start, here} for more info on the @code{/etc/opt/chrome/policies/managed} directory and
@uref{https://cloud.google.com/docs/chrome-enterprise/policies/?policy=ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox, here} for information on the @code{ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox} policy.

@node Mac OS

For Mac OS, we need to create our own application.

@itemize

@end itemize

@lisp
on open location this_URL
    set EC to "/usr/local/bin/emacsclient --no-wait "
    set filePath to quoted form of this_URL
    do shell script EC & filePath
    tell application "Emacs" to activate
end open location
@end lisp

@itemize
@item
Save the script in @code{/Applications/OrgProtocolClient.app}, changing the script type to
``Application'', rather than ``Script''.

@item
Edit @code{/Applications/OrgProtocolClient.app/Contents/Info.plist}, adding the
following before the last @code{</dict>} tag:
@end itemize

@example
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
  <dict>
    <key>CFBundleURLName</key>
    <string>org-protocol handler</string>
    <key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
    <array>
      <string>org-protocol</string>
    </array>
  </dict>
</array>
@end example

@itemize
@item
Save the file, and run the @code{OrgProtocolClient.app} to register the protocol.
@end itemize

To disable the ``confirm'' prompt in Chrome, you can also make Chrome
show a checkbox to tick, so that the @code{OrgProtocol} app will be used
without confirmation. To do this, run in a shell:

@example
defaults write com.google.Chrome ExternalProtocolDialogShowAlwaysOpenCheckbox -bool true
@end example

If you're using @uref{https://github.com/railwaycat/homebrew-emacsmacport, Emacs Mac Port}, it registered its `Emacs.app` as the default
handler for the URL scheme `org-protocol`. To make @code{OrgProtocol.app}
the default handler instead, run:

@example
defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices/com.apple.launchservices.secure LSHandlers -array-add \
'@{"LSHandlerPreferredVersions" = @{ "LSHandlerRoleAll" = "-"; @}; LSHandlerRoleAll = "org.yourusername.OrgProtocol"; LSHandlerURLScheme = "org-protocol";@}'
@end example

Then restart your computer.

@menu
* Testing org-protocol::
@end menu

@node Testing org-protocol
@unnumberedsubsubsec Testing org-protocol

To test that you have the handler setup and registered properly from the command
line you can run:

@example
open org-protocol://roam-ref\?template=r\&ref=test\&title=this
@end example

If you get an error similar too this or the wrong handler is run:

@quotation
No application knows how to open URL org-protocol://roam-ref?template=r&ref=test&title=this (Error Domain=NSOSStatusErrorDomain Code=-10814 ``kLSApplicationNotFoundErr: E.g. no application claims the file'' UserInfo=@{@math{_LSLine}=1489, _LSFunction=runEvaluator@}).

@end quotation

You may need to manually register your handler, like this:

@example
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -R  -f /Applications/OrgProtocolClient.app
@end example

Here is a link to the lsregister command that is really useful: @uref{https://eclecticlight.co/2019/03/25/lsregister-a-valuable-undocumented-command-for-launchservices/}

@node Windows
@subsection Windows

For Windows, create a temporary @code{org-protocol.reg} file:

@example
REGEDIT4

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol]
@@="URL:Org Protocol"
"URL Protocol"=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\org-protocol\shell\open\command]
@@="\"C:\\Windows\\System32\\wsl.exe\" emacsclient \"%1\""
@end example

The above will forward the protocol to WSL@. If you run Emacs natively on
Windows, replace the last line with:

@example
@@="\"c:\\path\\to\\emacs\\bin\\emacsclientw.exe\"  \"%1\""
@end example

After executing the .reg file, the protocol is registered and you can delete the
file.

@node The roam-node protocol
@section The roam-node protocol

The roam-node protocol opens the node with ID specified by the @code{node} key (e.g.
@code{org-protocol://roam-node?node=node-id}). @code{org-roam-graph} uses this to make the
graph navigable.

@node The roam-ref protocol
@section The roam-ref protocol

This protocol finds or creates a new note with a given @code{ROAM_REFS}:

@image{images/roam-ref,,,,gif}

To use this, create the following @uref{https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet, bookmarklet} in your browser:

@example
javascript:location.href =

    + encodeURIComponent(location.href)
    + '&title='
    + encodeURIComponent(document.title)

or as a keybinding in @code{qutebrowser} in , using the @code{config.py} file (see
@uref{https://github.com/qutebrowser/qutebrowser/blob/master/doc/help/configuring.asciidoc, Configuring qutebrowser}):

@example
config.bind("<Ctrl-r>", "open javascript:location.href='org-protocol://roam-ref?template=r&ref='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)")

@node The Templating System
@chapter The Templating System

Org-roam extends the @code{org-capture} system, providing a smoother note-taking
experience. However, these extensions mean Org-roam capture templates are
incompatible with @code{org-capture} templates.

Org-roam's templates are specified by @code{org-roam-capture-templates}. Just like
@code{org-capture-templates}, @code{org-roam-capture-templates} can contain multiple
templates. If @code{org-roam-capture-templates} only contains one template, there
will be no prompt for template selection.

@menu

@end menu

@node Template Walkthrough
@section Template Walkthrough

To demonstrate the additions made to org-capture templates. Here, we explain
the default template, reproduced below. You will find most of the elements
of the template are similar to @code{org-capture} templates.

@lisp
(("d" "default" plain "%?"
  :target (file+head "%<%Y%m%d%H%M%S>-$@{slug@}.org"
                     "#+title: $@{title@}\n")
  :unnarrowed t))
@end lisp

@itemize
@item
The template has short key @code{"d"}. If you have only one template, org-roam
automatically chooses this template for you.

@item
The template is given a description of @code{"default"}.

@item
@code{plain} text is inserted. Other options include Org headings via
@code{entry}.

@item
Notice that the @code{target} that's usually in Org-capture templates is missing
here.

@item
@code{"%?"} is the template inserted on each call to @code{org-roam-capture-}.
This template means don't insert any content, but place the cursor here.

@item
@code{:target} is a compulsory specification in the Org-roam capture template. The
first element of the list indicates the type of the target, the second
element indicates the location of the captured node, and the rest of the
elements indicate prefilled template that will be inserted and the position
of the point will be adjusted for. The latter behavior varies from type to
type of the capture target.

@item
@code{:unnarrowed t} tells org-capture to show the contents for the whole file,
rather than narrowing to just the entry. This is part of the Org-capture
templates.
@end itemize

See the @code{org-roam-capture-templates} documentation for more details and
customization options.

@node Org-roam Template Expansion
@section Org-roam Template Expansion

Org-roam's template definitions also extend org-capture's template syntax, to
allow prefilling of strings. We have seen a glimpse of this in @ref{Template Walkthrough, , Template
Walkthrough}.

Org-roam provides the @code{$@{foo@}} syntax for substituting variables with known
strings. @code{$@{foo@}}'s substitution is performed as follows:

@itemize
@item
If @code{foo} is a function, @code{foo} is called with the current node as its
argument.

@item
Else if @code{org-roam-node-foo} is a function, @code{foo} is called with the current node
as its argument. The @code{org-roam-node-} prefix defines many of Org-roam's node
accessors such as @code{org-roam-node-title} and @code{org-roam-node-level}.

@item
Else look up @code{org-roam-capture--info} for @code{foo}. This is an internal variable
that is set before the capture process begins.

@item
If none of the above applies, read a string using @code{completing-read}.
@itemize
@item
Org-roam also provides the @code{$@{foo=default_val@}} syntax, where if a default
value is provided, will be the initial value for the @code{foo} key during
minibuffer completion.
@end itemize
@end itemize

One can check the list of available keys for nodes by inspecting the
@code{org-roam-node} struct. At the time of writing, it is:

@lisp
(cl-defstruct (org-roam-node (:constructor org-roam-node-create)
                             (:copier nil))
  "A heading or top level file with an assigned ID property."
  file file-hash file-atime file-mtime
  id level point todo priority scheduled deadline title properties olp
  tags aliases refs)
@end lisp

This makes @code{$@{file@}}, @code{$@{file-hash@}} etc. all valid substitutions.

@node Graphing
@chapter Graphing

Org-roam provides basic graphing capabilities to explore interconnections
between notes, in @code{org-roam-graph}. This is done by performing SQL queries and
generating images using @uref{https://graphviz.org/, Graphviz}. The graph can also be navigated: see @ref{Org-roam Protocol, , Roam
Protocol}.

The entry point to graph creation is @code{org-roam-graph}.

@defun org-roam-graph & optional arg node
@end defun

Build and display a graph for NODE@.
ARG may be any of the following values:

@itemize
@item
@code{nil}       show the full graph.

@item
@code{integer}   an integer argument @code{N} will show the graph for the connected
components to node up to @code{N} steps away.
@end itemize
@defopt org-roam-graph-executable

Path to the graphing executable (in this case, Graphviz). Set this if Org-roam
is unable to find the Graphviz executable on your system.

You may also choose to use @code{neato} in place of @code{dot}, which generates a more

@end menu

@node Configuration
@section Configuration

For @code{org-roam-dailies} to work, you need to define two variables:

@defvar @code{org-roam-dailies-directory}

Path to daily-notes. This path is relative to @code{org-roam-directory}.
@end defvar

@defvar @code{org-roam-dailies-capture-templates}

Capture templates for daily-notes in Org-roam.
@end defvar

Here is a sane default configuration:

@lisp
(setq org-roam-dailies-directory "daily/")

(setq org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
      '(("d" "default" entry
         "* %?"

                            "#+title: %<%Y-%m-%d>\n"))))
@end lisp

See @ref{The Templating System} for creating new templates.

@node Usage
@section Usage

@code{org-roam-dailies} provides these interactive functions:

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-capture-today} &optional goto

Create an entry in the daily note for today.

When @code{goto} is non-nil, go to the note without creating an entry.
@end defun

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-goto-today}

Find the daily note for today, creating it if necessary.
@end defun

There are variants of those commands for @code{-yesterday} and @code{-tomorrow}:

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-capture-yesterday} n &optional goto

Create an entry in the daily note for yesteday.

With numeric argument @code{n}, use the daily note @code{n} days in the past.
@end defun

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-goto-yesterday}

With numeric argument N, use the daily-note N days in the future.
@end defun

There are also commands which allow you to use Emacs’s @code{calendar} to find the date

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-capture-date}

Create an entry in the daily note for a date using the calendar.

Prefer past dates, unless @code{prefer-future} is non-nil.

With a 'C-u' prefix or when @code{goto} is non-nil, go the note without
creating an entry.
@end defun

@defun @code{org-roam-dailies-goto-date}

These structures are garbage collected at regular intervals (see @ref{Garbage Collection,info:elisp#Garbage Collection,,elisp,}).

Org-roam provides the option @code{org-roam-db-gc-threshold} to temporarily change
the threshold value for GC to be triggered during these memory-intensive

@node Browsing History with winner-mode
@section Browsing History with winner-mode

@code{winner-mode} is a global minor mode that allows one to undo and redo changes in
the window configuration. It is included with GNU Emacs since version 20.

@code{winner-mode} can be used as a simple version of browser history for Org-roam.
Each click through org-roam links (from both Org files and the backlinks buffer)
causes changes in window configuration, which can be undone and redone using
@code{winner-mode}. To use @code{winner-mode}, simply enable it, and bind the appropriate
interactive functions:

@lisp

@node Versioning Notes
@section Versioning Notes

Since Org-roam notes are just plain text, it is trivial to track changes in your
notes database using version control systems such as @uref{https://git-scm.com/, Git}. Simply initialize
@code{org-roam-directory} as a Git repository, and commit your files at regular or
appropriate intervals. @uref{https://magit.vc/, Magit} is a great interface to Git within Emacs.

In addition, it may be useful to observe how a particular note has evolved, by
looking at the file history. @uref{https://gitlab.com/pidu/git-timemachine, Git-timemachine} allows you to visit historic
versions of a tracked Org-roam note.

@node Full-text search with Deft
@section Full-text search with Deft

@uref{https://jblevins.org/projects/deft/, Deft} provides a nice interface for browsing and filtering org-roam notes.

@node How do I have more than one Org-roam directory?
@section How do I have more than one Org-roam directory?

Emacs supports directory-local variables, allowing the value of
@code{org-roam-directory} to be different in different directories. It does this by
checking for a file named @code{.dir-locals.el}.

To add support for multiple directories, override the @code{org-roam-directory}
variable using directory-local variables. This is what @code{.dir-locals.el} may
contain:

@lisp
((nil . ((org-roam-directory . "/path/to/alt/org-roam-dir")
         (org-roam-db-location . "/path/to/alt/org-roam-dir/org-roam.db"))))
@end lisp

Note @code{org-roam-directory} and @code{org-roam-db-location} should be an absolute path, not relative.

Alternatively, use @code{eval} if you wish to call functions:

@lisp
((nil . ((eval . (setq-local
                  org-roam-directory (expand-file-name (locate-dominating-file
                                                        default-directory ".dir-locals.el"))))
         (eval . (setq-local
                  org-roam-db-location (expand-file-name "org-roam.db"
                                                         org-roam-directory))))))
@end lisp

All files within that directory will be treated as their own separate set of
Org-roam files. Remember to run @code{org-roam-db-sync} from a file within
that directory, at least once.

@node How do I create a note whose title already matches one of the candidates?
@section How do I create a note whose title already matches one of the candidates?

This situation arises when, for example, one would like to create a note titled
``bar'' when ``barricade'' already exists.

The solution is dependent on the mini-buffer completion framework in use. Here
are the solutions:

@itemize
 @item
 Ivycall @code{ivy-immediate-done}, typically bound to @code{C-M-j}. Alternatively,
set @code{ivy-use-selectable-prompt} to @code{t}, so that ``bar'' is now selectable.

@item
 HelmOrg-roam should provide a selectable ``[?] bar'' candidate at the top of
the candidate list.
@end itemize

@node How can I stop Org-roam from creating IDs everywhere?
@section How can I stop Org-roam from creating IDs everywhere?

Other than the interactive commands that Org-roam provides, Org-roam does not
create IDs everywhere. If you are noticing that IDs are being created even when
you don't want them to be (e.g. when tangling an Org file), check the value you
have set for @code{org-id-link-to-org-use-id}: setting it to @code{'create-if-interactive}
is a popular option.

@node How to migrate from Org-roam v1?
@section How to migrate from Org-roam v1?

Those coming from Org-roam v1 will do well treating v2 as entirely new software.
V2 has a smaller core and fewer moving parts, while retaining the bulk of its
functionality. It is recommended to read the documentation above about nodes.

It is still desirable to migrate notes collected in v1 to v2.
To migrate your v1 notes to v2, use @samp{M-x org-roam-migrate-wizard}.
@uref{https://d12frosted.io/posts/2021-06-11-path-to-org-roam-v2.html, This blog post}
provides a good overview of what's new in v2 and how to migrate.

Essentially, to migrate notes from v1 to v2, one must:

@itemize
@item
Add IDs to all existing notes.
These are located in top-level property drawers
(Although note that in v2, not all files need to have IDs).

@item
Update the Org-roam database to conform to the new schema.

@item
Replace @code{#+ROAM_KEY} into the @code{ROAM_REFS} property

@item
Replace @code{#+ROAM_ALIAS} into the @code{ROAM_ALIASES} property

@item
Move @code{#+ROAM_TAGS} into the @code{#+FILETAGS} property for file-level nodes,
and the @code{ROAM_TAGS} property for headline nodes

@item
Replace existing file links with ID links.

@node How do I publish my notes with an Internet-friendly graph?
@section How do I publish my notes with an Internet-friendly graph?

The default graph builder creates a graph with an @uref{https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html, org-protocol}
handler which is convenient when you're working locally but
inconvenient when you want to publish your notes for remote access.
Likewise, it defaults to displaying the graph in Emacs which has the
exact same caveats.  This problem is solvable in the following way
using org-mode's native @uref{https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing.html, publishing} capability:

@itemize
@item
configure org-mode to publish your org-roam notes as a project.

@item
create a function that overrides the default org-protocol link
creation function(@samp{org-roam-default-link-builder}).

@item
create a hook that's called at the end of graph creation to copy
the generated graph to the appropriate place.
@end itemize

The example code below is used to publish to a local directory where a
separate shell script copies the files to the remote site.

The ``selecting deleted buffer'' error usually occurs when you don't have a
working @code{emacsql-sqlite} executable. Org-roam relies on this executable to
function properly, and doesn't catch this error. This issue is most commonly
seen on Windows setups. You can browse through the various GitHub issues posted

To fix this, you can try the following:

@itemize
@item
If on Windows, try replacing your system binary with @uref{https://github.com/nobiot/emacsql-sqlite.exe, this one} that has been proven
to work

@item

@end menu

@node Org-roam's Design Principle
@section Org-roam's Design Principle

Org-roam is primarily motivated by the need for a dual representation. We
(humans) love operating in a plain-text environment. The syntax rules of
Org-mode are simple and fit snugly within our brain. This also allows us to use
the tools and packages we love to explore and edit our notes. Org-mode is simply
the most powerful plain-text format available, with support for images, @LaTeX{},
TODO planning and much more.

But this plain-text format is simply ill-suited for exploration of these notes:
plain-text is simply not amenable for answering large-scale, complex queries
(e.g. how many tasks do I have that are due by next week?). Interfaces such as
Org-agenda slow to a crawl when the number of files becomes unwieldy, which can
quickly become the case.

At its core, Org-roam provides a database abstraction layer, providing a dual
representation of what's already available in plain-text. This allows us
(humans) to continue working with plain-text, while programs can utilize the
database layer to perform complex queries. These capabilities include, but are
not limited to:

@itemize
@item
link graph traversal and visualization

@item
Instantaneous SQL-like queries on headlines
@itemize
@item
What are my TODOs, scheduled for X, or due by Y@?
@end itemize

@item
Accessing the properties of a node, such as its tags, refs, TODO state or
priority
@end itemize

All of these functionality is powered by this database abstraction layer. Hence,
at its core Org-roam's primary goal is to provide a resilient dual
representation that is cheap to maintain, easy to understand, and is as
up-to-date as it possibly can. Org-roam also then exposes an API to this
database abstraction layer for users who would like to perform programmatic
queries on their Org files.

@node Building Extensions and Advanced Customization of Org-roam
@section Building Extensions and Advanced Customization of Org-roam

Because Org-roam's core functionality is small, it is possible and sometimes
desirable to build extensions on top of it. These extensions may one or more of
the following functionalities:

@itemize
@item
Access to Org-roam's database

@item
Usage/modification of Org-roam's interactive commands
@end itemize

Org-roam provides no guarantees that extensions will continue to function as
Org-roam evolves, but by following these simple rules, extensions can be made
robust to local changes in Org-roam.

@itemize
@item
Extensions should not modify the database schema. Any extension that requires
the caching of additional data should make a request upstream to Org-roam.

@item
Extensions requiring access to the database should explicitly state support
for the database version (@code{org-roam-db-version}), and only conditionally
load when support is available.
@end itemize

@menu
* Accessing the Database::
* Accessing and Modifying Nodes::
* Extending the Capture System::
@end menu

@node Accessing the Database
@subsection Accessing the Database

Access to the database is provided singularly by @code{org-roam-db-query}, for
example:

@lisp
(org-roam-db-query [:select * :from nodes])
@end lisp

One can refer to the database schema by looking up
@code{org-roam-db--table-schemata}. There are multiple helper functions within
Org-roam that call @code{org-roam-db-query}, these are subject to change. To ensure
that extensions/customizations are robust to change, extensions should only use
@code{org-roam-db-query}, and perhaps replicate the SQL query if necessary.

@node Accessing and Modifying Nodes
@subsection Accessing and Modifying Nodes

The node interface is cleanly defined using @code{cl-defstruct}. The primary
method to access nodes is @code{org-roam-node-at-point} and @code{org-roam-node-read}:

@defun org-roam-node-at-point &optional assert

Return the node at point. If ASSERT, throw an error if there is no node at
point.
@end defun

@defun org-roam-node-read &optional initial-input filter-fn sort-fn
require-match

Read and return an `org-roam-node'.
INITIAL-INPUT is the initial minibuffer prompt value. FILTER-FN
is a function to filter out nodes: it takes a single argument (an
@code{org-roam-node}), and when nil is returned the node will be
filtered out.
SORT-FN is a function to sort nodes. See @code{org-roam-node-read-sort-by-file-mtime}
for an example sort function.
If REQUIRE-MATCH, the minibuffer prompt will require a match.
@end defun

Once you obtain the node, you can use the accessors for the node, e.g.
@code{org-roam-node-id} or @code{org-roam-node-todo}.

It is possible to define (or override existing) properties on nodes. This is
simply done using a @code{cl-defmethod} on the @code{org-roam-node} struct:

@lisp
(cl-defmethod org-roam-node-namespace ((node org-roam-node))
  "Return the namespace for NODE.
The namespace is the final directory of the file for the node."
  (file-name-nondirectory
   (directory-file-name
    (file-name-directory (org-roam-node-file node)))))
@end lisp

The snippet above defines a new property @code{namespace} on @code{org-roam-node}, which
making it available for use in capture templates.

@node Extending the Capture System
@subsection Extending the Capture System

Org-roam applies some patching over Org's capture system to smooth out the user
experience, and sometimes it is desirable to use Org-roam's capturing system
instead. The exposed function to be used in extensions is @code{org-roam-capture-}:

@defun org-roam-capture- &key goto keys node info props templates

Main entry point.
GOTO and KEYS correspond to `org-capture' arguments.
INFO is a plist for filling up Org-roam's capture templates.
NODE is an `org-roam-node' construct containing information about the node.
PROPS is a plist containing additional Org-roam properties for each template.
TEMPLATES is a list of org-roam templates.
@end defun

An example of an extension using @code{org-roam-capture-} is @code{org-roam-dailies}
itself:

@lisp
(defun org-roam-dailies--capture (time &optional goto)
  "Capture an entry in a daily-note for TIME, creating it if necessary.

When GOTO is non-nil, go the note without creating an entry."
  (org-roam-capture- :goto (when goto '(4))
                     :node (org-roam-node-create)
                     :templates org-roam-dailies-capture-templates
                     :props (list :override-default-time time))
  (when goto (run-hooks 'org-roam-dailies-find-file-hook)))
@end lisp
