Date formatting in templates
In templates you can add a date syntax to the title of that content with the syntax
{date:<format>}
where <format>
can be a combination of all rules in the tables below. For example, a template title Journal - {date:YYYY-MM-DD}
will result in a title like Journal - 2023-02-10
if created on February 10, 2023.
