How about calling this substitutions (or something like that)?
| custom = {} | |
| substitutions = {} |

Yes, substitutions or variables would be a better fit.
I will update it to substitutions for now.

We can probably omit this here and just use what's in templates, right?

I thought that are the default options. I would list it there with the empty list, just to make the exists of the option clear. Likewise, I will update it to substitutions.
Please correct me if I'm wrong. I thought the default config is from line 135 to 258 and on line 324 to 333 are an example. I will add a proper substitutions example.

I just added the substitution support for the default template as well. Furthermore, I renamed it to If you have anything else, just led me know. |

This pull request adds support for automatic template insertion in daily notes.
To enable the feature, just add the full template name to the daily note config:
{ daily_note = { template = "daily.md" } }Furthermore, I added support for custom template variables.
It is done by the
util.substitute_template_variableswith tasks the currently available variables and a map of new variables.There the variables are a name, function pair. The executed function should return the inserted value.
An Example is in the README.
Currently, custom variables aren't added to the normal templates yet, but that would be just a three line change.
Please give me your thought on this feature.
This should close #163
