Page templates enable you to define templates for creating new pages. They can be invoked in a few ways:
|
|
|
|
* Explicitly using the {[Page: From Template]} command
|
|
* Explicitly using a custom command configured in the template
|
|
* Implicitly when configured to be used automatically for a specific _page prefix_.
|
|
|
|
A page template is a [[Templates|template]] using the `hooks.newPage` attribute (in [[Frontmatter]]).
|
|
|
|
The following configuration options are supported:
|
|
|
|
* `suggestedName`: the proposed name for the new page, can use template placeholders such as `{{today}}`.
|
|
* `confirmName`: Confirm the suggested page name before creating it (defaults to `true`).
|
|
* `openIfExists`: If a page with the `suggestedName` already exists, open it instead of overwriting it. This is useful to implement page templates like [[Library/Journal/New Page/Daily Note]].
|
|
* `forPrefix`: automatically apply (or offer, when multiple page templates match) this page template for page names that start with this prefix.
|
|
* `command`: expose the snippet as a [[Commands|command]].
|
|
* `key`: Bind the snippet to a keyboard shortcut (note: this requires to _also_ specify the `command` configuration).
|
|
* `mac`: Bind the snippet to a Mac-specific keyboard shortcut.
|

An example:
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
tags: template
|
|
hooks.newPage:
|
|
suggestedName: "📕 "
|
|
forPrefix: "📕 "
|
|
---
|
|
# {{@page.name}}
|
|
As recorded on {{today}}.

When using the {[Page: From Template]} command and selecting this template, this will prompt you to pick a page name (defaulting to “📕 “), and then create the following page (on 2023-08-08) when you pick “📕 Harry Potter” as a page name:
|
|
|
|
# 📕 Harry Potter
|
|
As recorded on 2022-08-08.

|
In addition, this page template will be used automatically when you create _any_ new page starting with “📕 “ by navigating to a new page matching this prefix, such as “📕 Foundation”.
|
|
|
|
As with any [[Templates|template]], the `frontmatter` can be used to define [[Frontmatter]] for the new page. |
