# 3.4. Notes

## 3.4.1. Short Notes

The paragraph tag for adding a single paragraph note is Note. For example:

      Note: Life is too short to waste time being unhappy.

The result is:

Note: Life is too short to waste time being unhappy.

## 3.4.2. Changing the Label

You can change the label for a note by using the label paragraph attribute. For example:

      Note[label='Important: '] Life is too short to drink bad wine.

The result is:

Important: Life is too short to drink bad wine.

## 3.4.3. Long Notes

If the note requires more than one paragraph, use the note filter. For example:

      !block note
      Life is too short to:

      * waste time being unhappy
      * worry about yesterday.
      !endblock

The result is:

Note: Life is too short to:

- waste time being unhappy
- worry about yesterday.

## 3.4.4. The NB/NE Tags

Before the note filter existed, long notes were created by using the NB (Note Begin) and NE (Note End) tags. For example:

      NB: Life is too short to:

      * waste time being unhappy
      * worry about yesterday.

      NE:

These paragraph styles are still supported, although the note filter is now the recommended way of specifying long notes.
