PodNotes can create notes from templates. These templates can contain certain syntax, which will be expanded to metadata about the podcast episode you are listening to.
To use templates, you can use the `Create podcast note` Obsidian command.
This requires you to have defined a template for both the file path and note text.
## File path
This template will be used to create the file path for the note. You can use the following syntax:
-`{{title}}`: The title of the podcast episode.
-`{{podcast}}`: The name of the podcast.
Both syntax items will be formatted such that it is safe to use in a file path.
This means the following characters will be removed: `\ , # % & / { } * < > $ ' " : @ ‣ | ?`.
## Note template
This template will be used to create the note text. You can use the following syntax:
-`{{title}}`: The title of the podcast episode.
-`{{description}}`: The description of the podcast episode.
- You can use `{{description:> }}` to prepend each new line with a `>` (to put the entire description in a blockquote).
-`{{podcast}}`: The name of the podcast.
-`{{url}}`: The URL of the podcast episode.
-`{{date}}`: The publish date of the podcast episode.
- You can use `{{date:format}}` to specify a custom [Moment.js](https://momentjs.com) format. E.g. `{{date:YYYY-MM-DD}}`.
-`{{artwork}}`: The URL of the podcast artwork. If no artwork is found, an empty string will be used.
