title: Authoring Content
---
All of the content in your Quartz should go in the `/content` folder. The content for the home page of your Quartz lives in `content/index.md`. If you've [[index#🪴 Get Started|setup Quartz]] already, this folder should already be initailized. Any Markdown in this folder will get processed by Quartz.
It is recommended that you use [Obsidian](https://obsidian.md/) as a way to edit and maintain your Quartz. It comes with a nice editor and graphical interface to preview, edit, and link your local files and attachments.
Got everything setup? Let's [[build]] and preview your Quartz locally!
## Syntax
As Quartz uses Markdown files as the main way of writing content, it fully supports Markdown syntax. By default, Quartz also ships with a few syntax extensions like [Github Flavored Markdown](https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/writing-on-github/getting-started-with-writing-and-formatting-on-github/basic-writing-and-formatting-syntax) (footnotes, strikethrough, tables, tasklists) and [Obsidian Flavored Markdown](https://help.obsidian.md/Editing+and+formatting/Obsidian+Flavored+Markdown) ([[callouts]], [[wikilinks]]).
Additionally, Quartz also allows you to specify additional metadata in your notes called **frontmatter**.
```md title="content/note.md"
---
title: Example Title
draft: false
tags:
- example-tag
---
The rest of your content lives here. You can use **Markdown** here :)
```
Some common frontmatter fields that are natively supported by Quartz:
- `title`: Title of the page. If it isn't provided, Quartz will use the name of the file as the title.
- `aliases`: Other names for this note. This is a list of strings.
- `draft`: Whether to publish the page or not. This is one way to make [[private pages|pages private]] in Quartz.
- `date`: A string representing the day the note was published. Normally uses `YYYY-MM-DD` format.
