The comment about swapping lines and getting a nicer version was
intended for the orgmode devs, just in case they want an easy way to
support templates with minimal changes to the source code.
My solution also works. Just copy the elisp definitions for org-p and
org-g into your .emacs file. Then define a new template and you're
set.
In the template:
- %(org-p "varname") will prompt you for a value that is then stored as
'varname'.
- %(org-g "varname") will then insert the text you entered at the
prompt.
