Subject: extra newlines in TYPE checkitem for capture-templates
Date: Thu, 23 Oct 2014 19:57:59 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87siiegonc.fsf@uw.edu> (raw)



I am prepending a checkboxed plain list item to a file named "pomodoro.org" (I'm not really doing pomodoro here anymore, it started as this but the unique filename stuck, and it is my ad-hoc datetree). It is organized much like a datetree, but flatter and newest first, thus the use of prepend. However, the capture buffer includes two extra newlines, which I must get rid of before or after completing the capture. 

Is this desired behavior for capture-templates TYPE checkitem? 

I am still on ELPA version of org, 8.2.10. 

Here is my 

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(setq pomodoro "~/pomodoro.org")
(setq org-capture-templates
      `(("p" "pomodoro, checklist" checkitem (file ,pomodoro)
         ""
         :prepend t
         :empty-lines 0
         :empty-lines-before 0
         :empty-lines-after 0
         ;; :unnarrowed t
         )))
#+END_SRC

The result of consecutive captures looks like: 

#+BEGIN_SRC org

- [ ] a second capture

- [ ] a first capture

#+END

The spacing is doubled if I use `:unnarrowed t'. 

I have also tried `(file+regexp ,pomodoro "- \\[")', but I still get the extra line. 

A solution would be to use file+headline, then not using :prepend prevents an extra line, but my headline is the date and varies. 

Thank you,
