[url] placeholder¶
The [url] placeholder is a variable used in note-taking templates and browser extensions to dynamically insert the web address of the current page.^[600-developer-tools-chrome-tab-copy.md]
Functionality¶
When utilized in tools like the TabCopy extension for Chrome, the [url] token is replaced by the actual URL of the active tab during the copy process.^[600-developer-tools-chrome-tab-copy.md] This allows users to quickly generate formatted links that include the destination address without manual typing or copying.
Usage in Markdown¶
The placeholder is frequently combined with other variables, such as [title], to create structured Markdown links.^[600-developer-tools-chrome-tab-copy.md]
For example, a template might be configured as:
[[title]] [title]([url])
