Hey everyone,

The wait is finally over. I've released the first ready-to-use version of templates plugin. For those who don't know what is templates plugin can take a look at this post.

Steps to install the plugin

Update to the latest pre-release of the desktop application i.e. 2.2.5.
Go to Tools > Options > Plugins
Search for Templates
Click Install plugin
Restart Joplin to enable the plugin

Importing templates from a previous version of Joplin

If you used templates in a version of Joplin that had this feature in the main application itself. Your templates will automatically be imported and saved in a new notebook titled Imported Templates - dd/mm/yyyy .

Your existing templates, after they're imported will still be present in the templates directory but will be renamed from .md to .md.old . You can safely delete these old templates once you verify that they've been imported correctly in Joplin.

Features and usage

For complete list of features and usage instructions please refer to the official documentation of the plugin.
