Template

The plugin uses a template for the note text. The following template parameters are supported

text this is replaced by the input text (either from the --text argument, clipboard or stdin input
place_cursor() the method results in the cursor being placed at that location in the dialog

In addition any '--option key-value pair that is given on the commandline will be available to the template as a field. The default example is to provide an url for the source of the note. Which will be filled in in the template for the url field.
