File directives let external files control how their linked blocks appear in Bentowise. Add them using HTML comments in the source file.

​
Available directives

Additional directives will be documented here as they become available.

​
File color

Place this declaration on the first non-empty line of your file:
Supported values: default, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Use one declaration per file, with an unquoted color name. Names are case-insensitive; custom colors and HEX codes are not supported.

​
How it works

  • Linked blocks follow the file’s color by default and update when Bentowise refreshes the file.
  • Use Follow file color in the block’s details panel to enable or disable following.
  • Choosing a color manually disables following. Your manual color is preserved.
  • Removing the declaration or using an invalid value restores the saved manual color.
  • default selects Bentowise’s default theme; it does not disable following.
The declaration is hidden from the preview but remains in the source file and copied original text. Bentowise does not rewrite the file when you change a block’s color settings.

Workflow example

You or an AI tool might use yellow for drafts and green for reviewed material. These meanings are yours to define—Bentowise only applies the declared color.
