Dear Statalist community,
Stata 19 introduced the ability to define and use Do-file Editor templates (https://www.stata.com/stata-news/new...d-we-listened/).
Does anyone know whether these templates can be populated with dynamic content, such as the user name and current date? I'm basically trying to emulate the behavior of the built-in "ado" template, which conveniently includes the current date whenever a new file is initialized.
Ideally, I'd like to create a template called standard.do which would, when called, open a do-file that looks like this (with the brackets dynamically filled):
Many thanks!

Code:
******************* * Description: * Version: 1.0 * Date: [current date] * Author: [user name] ... exit *******************
