Thanks for the feedback.

Note that you can type three pipe characters in a row, and a space, to get table too. |||

Is there a way to do this for notes created from templates on any date? For example, if I want to use one template to create notes for tomorrow and the day after with both notes having their title be their date with custom formatting.

I thought that \event-date would do the trick, but I just get an empty title. I assume that this is because I’m creating the note from the day, not for a specific event.

This should work for you

\date(for: yesterday, format: MMM-dd-yyyy (EEEE))

Very detailed explanation which helped me a lot! Thank you for that.
One question. I tried to use, as template title, such text: Meeting Note from \event-date - and this one works well, showing start and end of meeting hour. So I decided it would be better to have it done this way: Meeting Note from \event-date(start) which should give me, for instance, “Meeting Note from 20 May 2022, at 18:00”. Instead I get this one: “Meeting Note from 0”. Is it a bug or I make a mistake somewhere?

You’d have to use it like this \event-date(start: full) where full can also be medium or short, depending on how you’d like it to appear.

I wish to create a note for the week of x, and then set the date range of the note to be from Mon-Fri.

I understand how to set dates within titles, but is it possible to set date ranges for notes themselves…and the projects to which they should be assigned…using templates?

Thanks!

Unfortunately that kind of relative date setting isn’t possible at the moment, we’ll take it into consideration.

This would be really useful for me too!

Is there a keyword that inserts the week number in the template?

You can insert the week number using \date(format: w), see Unicode Date And Time Cheatsheet — Toolbox Pro for all format options.

Could you make it possible to rename a template separate from the title inside it? I have a daily note template like

\date(yyyy-MM-dd)
-

which is handy, but I wish I could rename the template itself to something like “Daily note” rather than “\date(yyyy-MM-dd)”. I know this is super minor, but it’d be a friendly little quality of life improvement.

You can, just double-click the entry in the sidebar on the left of the template window, you can give it a different name than the default (the title of the note).

Oh! Turns out you can. I don’t think that’s documented, though. Perhaps it should be?
