# Foam Note Templates

Foam includes note templates! This allows you to create new notes from the given template.
Templates are treated just like snippets allowing you to use [VS Code's Snippet Syntax](https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/userdefinedsnippets#_snippet-syntax).
Below you can see an example showing a todo list and a timestamp.

## Todo List

1. ${1:First tabstop}
2. ${2:A second tabstop}
3. ${3:A third tabstop}

Note Created: ${CURRENT_YEAR}${CURRENT_MONTH}${CURRENT_DATE}

---

Try out the above example by running the `Foam: Create New Note From Template` command and selecting the `your-first-template` template. Notice what happens when your new note is created!
