Subject: Problems with org-capture
Date: Tue, 6 May 2014 11:57:34 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20140506095734.GA5437@raven.inka.de> (raw)
Hello everybody,
I am new to org-mode, and am currently working through
http://members.optusnet.com.au/~charles57/GTD/gtd_workflow.html and am stuck
a little bit the the caprure mode.
My first question is: org-capture seems to come with a pre-confuigured
template for a "Todo" stanza. I thought, I'd take a closer look at this
example to learn from it and as a starting point for my own
customizations. But DESCRIBE-VARIABLE shows that ORG-CAPTURE-TEMPLATES is set
to NIL. So, where does this pre-configured "Todo" entry come from?
The I created my own template like this:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "/m/s/rep/git/todo/newgtd.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %^{Brief Description} %^g%?\n Created: %U\n %i\n %A\n\n"
:kill-buffer :empty-lines 3)))
With this template, I have two problems:
- The most annoying problem is that it eats up the newlines behind the newly
created entry. I always keep multiple empty lines between top-level
headings. But even then, a newly created entry eats up all the newlines and
even melts the succeeding heading onto the end of the newly created entry.
I guess, this is not how it is meant to work. How would I define
- The second problem is that when invoked with content fron an active region
(the %i flag), then the %A flag won't ask me for a link description and the
%i contents are used as description.
Any ideas what might be wrong here?
