Only typing {{date}} into a note isn’t going to do anything. These are variables to use with the core Templates plugin. See the templates help section.
- Check if Templates is turned on in Settings > Core Plugins.
- Set a template folder location.
- Create a note, say
note template
, and put it in the location you entered above. - The contents of the
note template
should look something like this starting on line 1:
---
creation date: {{date}} {{time}}
alias: []
tags: []
---
# {{title}}
Now that it’s set, in any new note you can cmd/ctrl+p
> Templates: Insert Template
or click the ribbon icon for Templates, choose note template
, and the above with the fields filled in will be inserted into a note.
You could also, for example, create a date template
with only
{{date}}
in it. This will just insert the date wherever you trigger it.
