Foam Template Bug with Comments in Frontmatter
Here is my Foam template frontmatter:
---
title: ${FOAM_TITLE}
created: "${FOAM_DATE_YEAR}-${FOAM_DATE_MONTH}-${FOAM_DATE_DATE}"
foam_template:
name: Public Note Template
description: Creates a new public note.
# E.g. notes/2025/2025-05/some-public-note.md
filepath: 'notes/${FOAM_DATE_YEAR}/${FOAM_DATE_YEAR}-${FOAM_DATE_MONTH}/${FOAM_SLUG}.md'
---
The note instantiated by the template has the following content:
---
title: <Title>
created: "2025-05-27"
# E.g. notes/2025/2025-05/some-public-note.md
filepath: 'notes/2025/2025-05/<Title>.md'
---
The issue is, when removing the foam_template
part, ‘comments’ are not handled. The #
line there cause the filepath
to be kept. Then the ‘indentation’ of the frontmatter is messed up.
This could be a bug, or it is just because I didn’t use it correctly.
