Once in a while I ask myself "How can I insert current date, etc, when I create a new document from a stationary?"

From what I understand there is no way to create a template that includes placeholders, am I right or have I missed something all these years?

Is there someway to do this without writing a script?

I don't have the time to read all Bill's answer right now (I may print it out and read it during an upcoming vacation, though), but I think the short answer is, "no, what you've described can't be done."

In fact, I have a few template/stationery files in BBEdit which all have placeholders. I created them thinking that there would be some way to activate the placeholders (ages ago)... but I couldn't do it.

However, you can put the whole "template file" into clipping. Same result, with only one or two more steps.
