Query: Items Directive
The items directive works on zettel that act as a “table of contents” for other zettel. The initial zettel of this manual is one example, the general API description is another. Every zettel with a certain internal structure can act as the “table of contents” for others.
What is a “table of contents”? Basically, it is just a list of references to other zettel.
To retrieve the items of a zettel, the software looks at first level list items. If an item contains a valid reference to a zettel, this reference will be interpreted as an item in the items list, in the “table of contents”.
This applies only to first level list items (ordered or unordered list), but not to deeper levels. Only the first reference to a valid zettel is collected for the table of contents. Following references to zettel within such an list item are ignored.
