All,
I really like the Easy Template facility, and would like to add some of
my own. However, I am having trouble with the elisp syntax. I would
like to add a couple in my init file, but am having no luck. Here is
what I have now:
=========================
(eval-after-load 'org
(progn
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
(list '("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src")))
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
(list '("j" "#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote")))))
=========================
Which yeilds:
=========================
Debugger entered--Lisp error: (invalid-function (("j" "#+begin_quote
||Dr|Cr|
|-
|?|$||
|||$|
#+end_quote")))
=========================
I have also tried this:
=========================
(eval-after-load 'org
(progn
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src"))
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("j" "#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"))))
=========================
Which spits out a similar error. I am quoting the list, so I don't
understand why elisp is interpteting it as a function. In the first
case, I even quote it twice.
Any help?
Thanks.
Dan Doherty

Hi Daniel,
you need to quote the entire form, i.e. the progn;
(eval-after-load 'org
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src"))
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("j" "#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"))))
This is because the entire form is stored for execution after loading org - but in your case it was
evaluated immediately...

I presume that it spits out the error when you try to *use* the template,
correct? You can add anything you want to org-structure-template-alist, but
if you try to *use* the thing, it'd better have the correct format.
In any case, the above (without the call to ``list'') is the correct
form, but the elements to add are *three*-element lists: (<key>
<standard text> <muse text>). If you don't care about org-mtags (see the
doc for org-structure-template-alist), just add an empty string as the
third element.
Untried but hope it works,
Nick

....
so what happens is that the result of the second add-to-list command (that result is the extended list) is stored and then evaluated after org.el is loaded. So at that point in time, Emacs tries to evaluate
(("j" ......
Which is of cause not valid because the first element in that list `("j" ...' is not a function.

Gentlemen:
For the record, I combined Carsten and Nick's suggestion, so here is
what I now have in my init file, and it works:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(eval-after-load 'org
'(progn
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src" ""))
(add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
'("j"
"#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"
""))))
#+end_src
Carsten, I appreciate the explanation for why my quoting didn't work. I
will now be adding many more of these Easy Templates to my init file,
they are a great shortcut.
