Maybe there are better solutions, but this works

```auto
${"[[" .. "Daily/" .. date.today() .. "]]"}

```

yeah, my bad that’s not space lua. That’s a lua expression. You have to put that into your document directly

You have to copy and paste (Select with mouse, press `Ctrl-C`, go to silverbullet, `Ctrl-V`) this text: ~~`${"[[" + "Daily/" + date.today() + "]]"}`~~ `${"[[" .. "Daily/" .. date.today() .. "]]"}`, into your document

```auto
${"[[Daily/" .. date.today() .. "]]"}

```

True this would probably be the more correct solution, but in spacelua the `+` should also work for string concatenation
