Templates

Templates are ordinary Markdown files stored in a templates folder inside your datastore. When you create a new page from a template, all of its body content and metadata (except title) are copied into the new page.

Creating a Template

A template can be created by selecting "New Template" from the File menu. Write whatever you want every new page of a given type to start with — headings, placeholder text, metadata keys, even tasks or annotations.

Using a Template

There are two ways to create a page from a template:

• On new page — when you create a new page, MoreInfo asks whether you'd like to start from a template. Select one from the list or skip to start blank.
• File menu — choose File › New from Template… at any time to pick a template and name the new page.

The new page inherits all body content and metadata from the template. Only title is not copied — you supply that yourself.

What Gets Copied

Templates and Categories

Templates pair naturally with the category metadata key. category is a reserved key that describes what kind of information a page captures — for example, meeting, project, or contact. Pages that share a category usually share the same set of metadata keys.

Define those keys once in a template, and they'll be ready in every new page of that type:

---
category: contact
company:
email:
phone:
last-contacted:
---

Every "contact" page created from this template will have the same metadata structure, making them consistent and easy to query.
