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?

Any ideas on that problem?

I'll take a look later on -- in the meantime, can you tell what
version of Emacs and Org you are using?
M-x emacs-version RET
M-x org-version RET
Thanks,

You forgot to specify a value for the :kill-buffer parameter:
:kill-buffer t :empty-lines 3
will work and add the empty lines.
You may also use :empty-lines-after 3 which should fit your need.

I don't see this bug. Can you test again (maybe with an updated
version of Org -- don't forget to mention the Org version by eval'ing
M-x org-version RET)?
Thanks,
