Prefixes and Suffixes
When creating notes with FlexiMark, you can add custom strings to the beginning and end of the file name. Both fixed text and certain placeholders are supported.
How to Change
Open .vscode/settings.json and edit the relevant part as shown below. The final file name will follow this format: {{noteFileNamePrefix}}{{YOUR FILE NAME}}{{noteFileNameSuffix}}.md
Below is the default setting, which results in a file name like 20250804_Hello World.md.
.vscode/settings.json
{
...
"fleximark.noteFileNamePrefix": "${CURRENT_YEAR}${CURRENT_MONTH}${CURRENT_DATE}_",
"fleximark.noteFileNameSuffix": "",
...
}
