Note Templating System¶
The template engine allows you to define custom Markdown layouts for note generation in Full Calendar. Templates are supported for: - Full Note Calendars: Custom templates applied when creating new local calendar event notes in your vault. - Event Linked Notes: Dedicated local Markdown notes associated with remote calendar events (such as Google Calendar, CalDAV, ICS, or Outlook).
Supported Placeholders¶
You can use standard Markdown syntax along with dynamic placeholders wrapped in double curly braces {{placeholder}}. These will automatically be replaced with the event's actual metadata at the time of creation:
| Placeholder | Replaced With | Example Output |
|---|---|---|
{{title}} |
The title of the calendar event | Interview - John Doe |
{{date}} |
Localized long-form date | Wednesday, May 20, 2026 |
{{timeString}} |
Start & end time or "All Day" | 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM or All Day |
{{location}} |
The location of the event | Room 302 or https://zoom.us/... |
{{url}} |
The primary URL link associated with the event | https://github.com/YouFoundJK/... |
{{description}} |
The full description / notes of the event | Discuss next major features and UI remastering. |
{{calendarName}} |
The name of the calendar source in Obsidian | Work Calendar |
