Slash templates allow you to define custom [[Slash Commands]] that expand “snippet style” templates inline.
|
||
|
||
# Definition
|
||
You can define a slash template by creating a [[Templates|template page]] with a template tag and `trigger` attribute. If you’d like to (temporarily) disable the template, you can set the `enabled` attribute to `false`.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
tags: template
|
||
trigger: meeting-notes
|
||
---
|
||
## Meeting notes for {{today}}!
|
||
|
||
|^|
|
||
|
||
## Frontmatter
|
||
A template’s [[Frontmatter]] is interpreted by SilverBullet’s [[Templates|template]] engine and removed when instantiated. However, to still include frontmatter after instantiation, you can use the `frontmatter` attribute.
|
||
|
||
Example:
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
tags: template
|
||
trigger: meeting-notes
|
||
frontmatter: |
|
||
date: {{today}}
|
||
---
|
||
## Meeting notes for {{today}}!
|
||
|
||
|^|
|
||
|
||
Which will expand into e.g.
|
||
|
||
---
|
||
date: 2023-11-11
|
||
---
|
||
## Meeting notes for 2023-11-11
|
||
|
||
.
|
||
|
||
When the page already contains frontmatter before invoking the slash command, it will be augmented with the additional frontmatter specified by the template.
|
||
|
||
# Use
|
||
You can _trigger_ the slash template by typing `/<trigger>` (e.g. `/meeting-notes`) in any page.
