Including headers

Is there a way to automatically insert default header information in every new document? I would like to not have to copy and paste a header to get MathJax support, since I use it in nearly every document!

   I recommend using TextExpander. I have a few snippets that I use for
   common document types that saves me a lot of time. Make sure to
   use/abuse the "%|" code (from TextExpander) to quickly tab to the fields
   into which you want to type.

   For example:

   latex input: mmd-letterhead-header
   latex input: ftp-metadata
   Title: %|
   Date: May 06, 2014
   Recipient: %|
   Recipient Address:
   Graphic Signature: true
   base header level: 2
   use xelatex: true
   latex mode: memoir
   latex footer: mmd-letterhead-footer
   latex input: mmd-letterhead-begin-doc
   
   Dear %|
   

   By using TE instead of a built-in Composer feature, you can use these
   same templates in other apps, and even on your iOS devices.

   Excellent! Thanks!

   For what it's worth, here is the TE snippet I created. Is uses another snippet, ".td", which I created to insert today's date.

   latex input: mmd-article-header
   latex input: ftp-metadata
   Title: %|
   Date: %snippet:.td%
   Base Header Level: 2
   latex mode: article
