## Examples for Default New Tab Pages

- your homepage note

- your daily note

- a scratchpad note

- trigger a quick switcher

- an image

- a random quote

- …

## Usage

1. Set the note to open in new tabs in the plugin settings.

2. Set the mode in which the note should open.

3. Open a new tab.

> __Note__  

> Closing your last tab also opens the new tab page.

## Advanced Examples

### Random Quote

To have a random quote on every new tab, you can use dataview and paste the following code as a dataviewjs-codeblock in a note.

```js

const quote = JSON.parse(await request("https://api.quotable.io/random"));

dv.span(`> "${quote.content}"  \n> 
– ${quote.author}
`);

```


Then, enter the path of the note in the *New Tab Default Page* settings, and select *Reading Mode*. Now every new note will display a random quote.
