Templates

Templates let you create reusable page structures with variable substitution.

Opening Templates

Click Templates in the sidebar or navigate to /templates.

Creating a Template

1. Open the Templates panel
2. Click + New
3. Enter a template name (e.g., meeting-notes)
4. Write the template content with {{variable}} placeholders
5. Save

Example template:

---

tags: [{{tags}}]
date: {{date}}
---

# {{title}}

## Attendees
{{attendees}}

## Agenda
1.

## Notes

## Action Items

## Next Meeting

Template Variables

Templates support variable substitution with {{variable_name}} syntax:

Built-in Variable	Description
{{title}}	The page title (you provide when applying)
{{date}}	Today's date (auto-filled)
{{time}}	Current time (auto-filled)
Custom	Any variable name — you fill in the value

Applying a Template

1. Go to the page where you want to apply the template
2. Open Templates
3. Click Apply next to the template
4. Fill in the variable values
5. The template content is inserted into your page

Template Storage

Templates are stored in your vault at templates/:

your-vault/
└── templates/
    ├── meeting-notes.md
    ├── project-plan.md
    └── book-note.md

You can create and edit template files directly. They're just Markdown files.
