Tagging rules
If you want to automatically assign a tag to new articles, this part of the configuration is for you.
What are tagging rules?
These are rules used by wallabag to automatically tag new entries. Each time a new entry is added, all the tagging rules will be processed to add the tags that would match, thus saving you the trouble of manually classifying your entries.
How to use them?
Let assume you want to tag new entries as « short reading » when the
reading time is 3 minutes or less. In that case, you would put
readingTime <= 3 in the Rule field and short reading in
the Tags field.
You can add several tags using a given rule by separating
them with a comma, e.g. short reading, must read.
Several operators are available in order to build more complex rules. For
example if you want to tag any article from www.php.net that has a reading time
of 5 minutes or more, you could use the rule readingTime >= 5 AND domainName = "www.php.net".
The variables and operators available for the tagging rules are listed below.
Please note that text must be quoted, e.g. language = "en".
