Modal to customize a reusable note

[ReaderGuy42]

I’m writing a document in Obsidian that I will be reusing mostly the same several times. The difference is one paragraph which I will adapt to various recipients.

Is there a way/plugin/modal, etc. to customize that one paragraph but so that in case I change something somewhere else I don’t have to remember to change all copies of that file?

Something like a fork of the file that retains the upstream elements?

Thanks

The easiest thing to do would just be to have the everything that stays the same in one note, then embed that file using ![[parent note]] and just add anything new beneath it.

If it need to look the same, there are clean-embbed css snippets that will make it look seamless

That’s one way, thanks

My preferred method is to use templater:

<% tp.file.include(“[[Note To Be Included]]”) %>

What does tp.file.include do?

See the Templater documention tp.file - Templater

OK, but wouldn’t I have to always change the template itself if I wanted to include a different file there? My goals was to be able to use the main file for a few different cases and exchange a paragraph.

You can insert templates based on variables on file’s frontmatter. Or you could use tp.system.suggester to select values for tp.file.include. If you have 5-10 different options for the main template then creating separate template for each sub case should be sufficient. Even after doing so, you can have system.suggester to query filenames etc.
