 - Changing the title from "Recent notes": pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ title: "Recent writing" })`
 - Changing the number of recent notes: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ limit: 5 })`
+- Display the note's tags (defaults to true): `Component.RecentNotes({ showTags: false })`
 - Show a 'see more' link: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ linkToMore: "tags/components" })`. This field should be a full slug to a page that exists.
 - Customize filtering: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ filter: someFilterFunction })`. The filter function should be a function that has the signature `(f: QuartzPluginData) => boolean`.
 - Customize sorting: pass in an additional parameter to `Component.RecentNotes({ sort: someSortFunction })`. By default, Quartz will sort by date and then tie break lexographically. The sort function should be a function that has the signature `(f1: QuartzPluginData, f2: QuartzPluginData) => number`. See `byDateAndAlphabetical` in `quartz/components/PageList.tsx` for an example.
