The package adds the =org-journal:= link type to Org Mode. When placed in an org-journal file, it serves as a "tag" that references one or many paragraphs of the journal or the entire section. These tags are aggregated in the database that can be queried in various ways. The tag format is as follows: [[org-journal::::][]] where the ":" and "::" part is optional. Enabling `org-journal-tags-autosync-mode' syncronizes these tags with the database at the moment of saving the org-journal buffer. Running `org-journal-tags-status' provides a status buffer with some statistics about the journal and the used tags. Running `org-journal-tags-transient-query' opens a query constructor to retrieve parts of journal referenced by a particular tag, regular expression, etc. Also take a look at the package README at for more information.
