Markor snippet / template syntax

[harshad1]

This should be added to the README, but for now I am adding this information here. The following strings will be interpolated / substituted in snippets / templates when they are inserted:

• {{selection}}: replaced with currently selected text
• {{date}}: Inserts today's date in yyyy-MM-dd format
• {{time}}: Inserts the current time in HH:mm format
• {{title}}: Inserts current / new document title
• {{cursor}}: Cursor placed here after snippet insertion
• {{uuid}}: Inserts a uuid4

Any text within backtics \yyyy-MM-dd`` will be interpreted as a java simpledateformat.

But how can this be used to create the default title for a new note?

[gsantner]

Not. It is for content.

Hi, great application!

Does that mean there is no way to autofill the date in the default title for a new note? I noticed in the template examples, "2029-01-01-jekyll-post.md" (as well as one of the zettlkasten) automatically adds the date to the title. How would I add that feature to a custom template? Is it possible?

Also, are the example templates hidden in /snippets? I can't seem to find them.
Can I remove them from the list without deleting the files themselves?

Thank you very much.
