Hi everyone,
I am having some trouble writing capture templates with newlines from
the customise buffer. From all the examples I see in the manual and
Worg, it seems simply putting \n within the template string should
work. But entering a "\n" in the template escapes the "\n" when saving
to file and the saved template ends up looking like this,
"** %^{prompt|TODO|WInP} %? %^G\\n%^t"
Entering a newline pressing [RET] works. But then in my init.el it is
stored as a carriage return rather than "\n", making it ugly. Is there
a way to enter newlines in the customise buffer which is saved as
"\n"?
Thanks for any thoughts.

No. You see the variable edited by hand, not what you get from the
customize buffer.

If you don't like the <RET>
you can edit your init.el file and substitute <RET> with \n
by hand:
M-% C-q C-j \n

I don't think so.
cheers

I tried that, but changing some other variable or adding a new
template reverts it back to [RET].

Thanks a lot Giovanni for confirming. I think I'll stop using
customize for this.

I just enter it in the capture buffer as C-j to get a new line in
the template.
