Give this a try:
<%_ tp.file.rename(tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")+ " - Daily Note") _%>
<% "---" %>
title: <% tp.date.now("YYYY-MM-DD")+ " - Daily Note" %>
aliases: []
created: <% tp.file.creation_date("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY") %>
modified: <% tp.file.last_modified_date("dddd, MMMM Do YYYY") %>
tags: DailyNote
<% "---" %>
- Added
<%_
and_%>
to strip the whitespace above the YAML section. - changed
title:
to<% tp.date.now...
A Templater pro will probably have a better solution, but this seems to work.
