Hi folks,
I've just tried making myself my very own org-remember template. If I
follow the example in the manual I come up with this:
,----
|
| ("* Diary entry: %?
| %^T" ?d "~/gtd/diary.org" "Diary date")
|
`----
However, when I call org-remember I get a blank buffer called
'Remember' and a message saying "org-select-remember-template: Not
enough arguments for format string"
After looking at templates that I once made via customize I came up
with this:
,----
|
| (100 "* Diary entry: %?
| %^T" "~/gtd/diary.org" "Diary date")
|
`----
This works perfectly. I define the shortcut character by its ASCII
number in the first field of the template, not as a ?-character combo
in the second field.
I'm guessing that the format and the manual have parted ways at some
stage!
I'm using org-mode 6.27 trans, and the manual is the same vintage.

This is not how the manual advertises to make remember templates.
("My diary entry" ?d "* Diary entry: %?
| %^T" "~/gtd/diary.org" "Diary date")
would be the form in the manual. The form you describe below
is still supported for backward compatibility.

Ah. Now I remember why I usually have a policy of not reporting bugs
until the morning after I find them.
Sorry for the noise.
