Templates

Templates are a way to modify the text of your newly created notes. Just place a _template.md in a folder to enable the feature.

For example, you can create a new default for all your notes by creating a inbox/_template.md file:

# {{title}}
{{date}}

{{caret}}

Example result: (| indicates the position of the text cursor)

# compound effect
2022-05-06

Variables

When creating a template, you can use the variables below in order to insert dynamic values in your note:

{{title}} — Inserts the title of the file.
{{date}} or {{date:format}} — Inserts the current date. By default, the inserted date will use YYYY-MM-DD as a format (e.g. 2022-05-06). If you want to customize the :format, read all supported values here (e.g. {{date:MMMM D, YYYY}} will produce May 6, 2022).
{{time}} or {{time:format}} — Inserts the current hour and minute by default (e.g. 20:20). If you want to customize the :format, read all supported values here.
{{caret}} — The position in text where the cursor will be placed. Placing multiple {{caret}}'s in the text will create multiple selections.
