Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

I would like to be able to stop dendron from decorating my tags in the editor by adding a colored square in front of the tag.

I find that annotations that add extra elements to the plain text is sometimes confusing (such as when I started to use dendron, created headings and did not know why a square was added at first), and sometimes annoying (as it takes up extra space on the row of text messing with line length).

Describe the solution you'd like

A setting in dendron.yaml to disable the squares in the editor would be nice and/or decorate using text color (alternative below).

Describe alternatives you've considered

A nice alternative would be to have the option for the tag color to be applied to the text itself (in the editor only) as this does not add an extra element to the line but still highlights the use of tags.

Hey, @fnurl, you can already do this by adding noRandomlyColoredTags: true to the top of your dendron.yml file. This is a legacy setting however, so it's likely it will be moved to a different part of the config in the near future.

Thanks, somebody mentioned this in Discord, and I am currently using this. However, this setting is deprecated and will be removed, so a new one needs to replace it.

this has been renamed to enableRandomlyColoredTags. this is documented here -> https://wiki.dendron.so/notes/0q2h2R9xS2pT7jctDhIYB.html

@kevinslin, This setting only seems to be affecting publishing and preview, but not the editor itself.

I am finding that I consistently get tag coloring/decoration for some of my notes within a fenced code block. It is very distracting for code blocks with languages that use # to comment (in my case, a crontab example). I don't know exactly what is triggering it, because, as I mentioned, I could not get this to happen in a simplified example.

Just curious if anyone else has run into this?
