Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/AppFlowy-IO/AppFlowy/issues/5141

Description

Tagging Functionality:
- Support for multi-level tags, enabling users to categorize documents in a hierarchical manner.
- The capability to create virtual collections or smart folders based on tags, automatically grouping all documents containing specific tags into a designated folder.
Template Functionality:
- The provision of document templates, allowing users to choose and apply pre-designed templates when creating new documents.
Optimization of Document Export Feature:
- Expand support for a wider array of document formats, such as docx, PDF, and others, thus enhancing compatibility and flexibility.
- Introduce a feature that enables the merging and exporting of multiple sub-documents: Upon selecting a top-level document, the software should have the ability to consolidate its nested or child documents into a single, continuous document during the export procedure.

希望能给软件增加标签功能、模板功能、优化文档导出功能。

1、标签功能：

支持多级标签；
能根据标签创建智能文档，将包含有指定标签的文档聚合到一个位置。

2、模板功能：

能创建文档模板，新建文档时可选择套用模板。

3、优化文档导出功能：

支持更多的文档格式，如：docx、PDF等等；
支持合并文档导出：当我选中某一级文档时，能将它的子文档合并导出到一个连续的文档。

Hi @yifengjob!

First, thank you for using the application and for creating this issue!

Support multi-level tags;

Definitely a good idea!

Ability to create smart documents based on tags...

I'm not sure to understand what you mean by "smart documents" 🤔 Can you give me a little more context?

...aggregate documents containing specified tags into one location.

Like filtering on the panel all the document that have a certain tag? Something similar to the search bar of GitHub issues for example?

Template Functionality:

There is already an issue for the template creation. You can head to #444 for more information 😄

Optimization of Document Export Feature:

Support more document formats, such as: docx, PDF, etc.;

PDF already have an issue: #409
Proprietary format like docx can be challenging but feel free to create another issue with the list of all formats you would like to export to. I can also create the issue for you, just list me the formats you have in mind 😄

Supports merged document export: When I select a certain level of document, its sub-documents can be merged and exported into a continuous document.

Just to make sure I understood correctly. Let's say you have a document with multiple subdocuments. When exporting the main document you want the ability to export all the nested documents at the same time? Like in a zip?

“smart documents”: The ability to create intelligent document collections akin to folders, automatically aggregating all documents bearing specific tags into a centralized location.😄

My document structure is illustrated in Figure 1, and I hope the exported document will appear as depicted in Figure 2.
