New Page Templates

VoodooPad Automatically creates all new pages to read "Describe <the name of the page> here." but what if you want to change that? There are two ways, an easy way with limited options, and a more complex way. Let's talk about the easy way first.

New Page Preference

Navigate to VoodooPad -> Preferences -> General and locate "New Page Text" Modifying this will change what the default text is for each page. For a complete list of all the variables you can put into this, scroll down to the bottom of the page. You're a bit limited with this method, however. You aren't able to import pictures and it can be hard to control the text in this little box. If this is a problem for you, check out the next section.

New Page Template

Create a page named **NewPageTemplate** and the new page will come up with the content "Describe $title$ here." This new page now represents a template for your document when making new pages. Whenever you make changes to this page, all new pages will reflect those changes.

Try this out to test it:
Select the text "Describe" and bold it.
Type "$date$" at the end.
Now make a new page.
You'll see the new page created will have "Describe" bold and will also have the current date.

What are some good uses of this?
Making a default footer or header with links to new pages- a sort of built in navigation system.
Setting a default background that might be easier on your eyes.
Note: Creating a **NewPageTemplate** in your document will override the setting you have in the preferences.
