Use Obsidian Templater to Automate Our Note-Taking System | Beginners
A beginner guide to grip the concept of Templater.
In the last article, we talked about the Obsidian core plugin Templates which already do a good job in the sense that it allows us to pre-define a note structure or format that could be applied to our notes. Templater is an Obsidian community plugin that also empowers us to define a note structure to be used by our notes. So, the question is what is the difference between these two? Which one should we choose? Well, it’s critical to understand the main difference between these two though, and the additional benefits we could get from Templater, otherwise, we are not using our time and efforts wisely when it comes to learning new skills.
Differences Between Templater vs Templates
Difference #1: Initial Setup
Templates is a core plugin we could just enable and start using. As for Templater, we need to download it and enable it before using it.
This setup difference doesn’t help us make up decisions about which one to use at all. But the next difference would blow your mind which is
AUTOMATION.
