# Templater plugin for Obsidian The Template plugin for Obsidian is a powerful templating engine that provides many more features than the built-in one. It can be used to execute scripts (i.e., little programs) when using the templates (e.g., to calculate dates, generate links, fetch information, and more!). Once you have created a template, you can easily add it to any note using the `ALT/Cmd + E` shortcut. ## Example Here's an example taken from the [Obsidian Starter Kit](https://store.dsebastien.net/l/obsidian-starter-kit) which uses this plugin extensively: ```markdown --- tags: - weekly_notes --- # <% tp.file.title %> << [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-[W]WW", "P-1W") %>]] | [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-[W]WW", "P+1W") %>]] >> Current month: [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM") %>]] | Next month: [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM", "P+1M") %>]] Year note: [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY") %>]] ## Goals - ## Achievements - ## Discoveries ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD") %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 1) %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 2) %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 3) %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 4) %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 5) %>]] - ### [[<% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD", 6) %>]] - ## Challenges - ## Gratitude - ``` ## References - https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater - https://silentvoid13.github.io/Templater/
