I am trying to create a simple markdown
template from DEVEONthink, using the export menu. It does not make a template file for me. (I also did the same process using a rich text file. It had the same result.)
Here is what I did:
Make a simple markdown
file to be used as a template
- I created a new empty file in a DEVONthink database in
markdown
format. - I added a tag.
- I added the following to the body of the document.
# %recordName%
## Links
## Citations
- I saved the document.
- I then used the DEVONthink menu item
File, Export, as Template...
. - I selected the
Toolbar
directory as the destination for the template and gave it a name. It saved fine. - I then created a new document using that template. The new document was exactly the same as the original
markdown
source with the exception of the new name. - When I examine the newly exported template in the
Toolbar
directory, I find that is amarkdown
document rather than adtTemplate
as I would expect.
Have I used this feature incorrectly?
