Schema Template

Summary

Schema templates let you designate a note as a template. Newly created notes that match a schema with a template will have both the contents and custom frontmatter of the template note applied at creation.

This is extremely useful whenever you want to re-use the outline of a note. Examples include daily journals, weekly shopping lists, and weekly reviews.

Template Variable Replacement

Template variable replacement lets you replace the text of a schema template prior to application. The syntax for variable replacement is <%= YOUR_VARIABLE %>.
