Templater is a template language that lets you insert variables and functions results into your notes. It will also let you execute JavaScript code manipulating those variables and functions.

Templater uses a custom templating engine (rusty_engine) syntax to declare a command. You may need a bit of time to get used to it, but once you get the idea, the syntax is not that hard.

Templater will load all JavaScript (.js files) scripts in the Scripts folder. You can then create your script named Scripts/my_script.js (the .js extension is required) for example.
