Hello,

I'm having a struggle capturing a plain text item under a headline; it 
always gets added to the bottom of the file. List items or org entries 
can be stowed away properly without a problem, i.e.

("e" "Event" entry (file+headline "~/org/agenda.org" "Events") "* %? %^T")

works but

("b" "Birthdays" plain (file+headline "~/org/agenda.org" "Birthdays") 
"%\\%(diary-anniversary %? mm dd yy) turns %d")

doesn't.

Any clues as to what might go wrong here or how else I could add a line 
of plain text to a headline?

Thanks,
  Toby

  I am not able to understand what you are trying to convey. Can you
  provide some examples?
  
  Thanks and Regards

    Hi Noorul,
    
    thanks for your quick reply. The lines of init.el code were actually meant to be
    examples. I have been trying to set up templates for the new org-capture
    function. I keep an agenda file with different headlines for events, birthdays
    etc. What I now would like to do is add birthdays using the capture mechanism as
    sexp-lines under the birthdays-headline of this agenda file. For events I don't
    use sexp entries but regular org-entries with a timestamp, which are filed away
    under the correct heading without a hitch. If I try to do the same with my sexp
    lines, - e.g. %\\%(diary-anniversary 10  2 1869) Mahatma Gandhi would be %d
    years old - (which apparently cannot be added as org entries in order to be
    still recognized as sexp expressions but have to be added as plain text), they
    always end up at the end of the file, rather than at the end of the headline.
    Hope this made things a little more clear. I'm currently using org-mode 7.01h on
    a windows machine by the way.
    
    Thanks,
     Toby
