Description

Category: Coding & Technical Tools

The Templater plugin adds a scripting based template system to notes so you can insert variables, function output and custom logic instead of relying on static text blocks. It fits people who want templates to react to context, generate dynamic content and cut down repetitive note work. JavaScript support is a central part of how it works, which makes room for deeper automation and more technical workflows. It can also run system commands when a template needs to reach outside the vault.
