# Templates for common text snippets
## Templater templates
The `docs/` vault has the [Templater](https://github.com/SilentVoid13/Templater) plugin installed, and is configured to read templates in the [docs/_meta/templates](https://github.com/obsidian-tasks-group/obsidian-tasks/tree/main/docs/_meta/templates) directory.
Benefits include:
- Saving time when editing the documentation
- Ensuring consistency
## Using the templates
These methods pop up a list of available templates, so you can select a snippet to insert at the current cursor position:
- Click on the `<%` icon in the Ribbon
- Use `Ctrl + P` or `Cmd + P` to trigger the Command Palette and select the pinned command `Templater: Open Insert Template modal`
## Naming templates
Please use lower-case names for template files, to distinguish them from the actual documentation pages.
