Capture: Insert a Base Template into the Active File

Use this pattern when you want QuickAdd to insert .base syntax into your current note.

Why this pattern​

Capture does not write directly to .base files, but it can still pull content from a .base template and insert that content into the active markdown note.

Setup​

  1. Create a Capture choice.
  2. Enable Capture to active file.
  3. In Capture format, reference your .base template with an explicit file extension.

Example:

## New Board Snippet

```base
{{TEMPLATE:Templates/Kanban Board.base}}
```

Note: {{VALUE}}
  1. Run the Capture choice while the destination note is active.

QuickAdd will resolve the .base template and insert it into the active note.
