Description

The Template by Note Name plugin allows users to automatically apply templates to newly created or renamed notes based on their names. Users can define custom rules to match note names by prefix, suffix, or contained text, enabling more efficient note creation and organization. Templates can be stored in a designated folder, and the plugin supports case-sensitive matching. This tool is especially useful for users of the Zettelkasten method or anyone who wants to standardize the format of certain note types, such as meeting notes, tasks, or ideas. Additionally, users have the option to apply templates when renaming notes, with template content being added to the existing note. The plugin helps users maintain a structured and consistent note-taking workflow within Obsidian.
