[Feature] Could templates support magical variables like: path datetime ...

[chenxxzhe]

just like the variables supported in the Templates Path {home} {workspace} and so on

@chenxxzhe I have no idea which magical variables are needed. Could you give some detailed suggestions?

[SteinTheRuler]

Variations of current Date is obvious. Author, Author Email, Author Link, Filename (name of the current file with name applied), Directory (destination). Just off the top of my head

Actually, I think it's not very meaningful to have magical variables. Now days we have version control tools which are powerful enough to record various informations related to our codes.

I agree with @SteinTheRuler with regards to at least the Directory (ideally relative to the workspace root) where the template was generated. This could be very beneficial in the output templates.

I just think somebody would use this and would be a nice little feature

I certainly would like to have at least author, filename, creation date and email as I use them in doxygen directives (@author etc.) for my documentation. author & email could be predefined in a settings directive...
