To do this, go to the plugin's settings/options page and add the tags to the settings.

An example configuration could like this:

-
Make sure that the correct value is selected in
View > Layout button sequence
.-
To be able to use the layout switching correctly, this setting must be set accordingly. Otherwise the editor layout might not be switched to the expected one.
-
For example: If a tag is specified in option
Tags for editor layout mode: Rendered Markdown viewer
and least one note uses it, the setting must also containViewer
.
-
-
Add the appropriate tags to the notes. If not already done.
-
When the selected note is changed, the editor layout is switched.
-
If none of the selected note's tags matches a specified layout tag, the default layout from the option
