Hi
I would like to capture todo items, changes and other things in the file I
am working in (literate programming), but I am struggling: how can I specify
thet the file is the actual file I am working in?
Thanks,
Rainer

Thats fun!
From the info manual on capture templates
to google "org capture "entry (function"" which led
to the mailing list archive (Thread start: http://tinyurl.com/3fj25gq)
to the git log:
,----
| commit 030960559e24b5b364b6237d223429b5050fc2f1
| Author: Bastien Guerry <bzg@altern.org>
| Date: Sun Mar 6 17:31:56 2011 +0100
|
| org-capture.el: remove (currentfile) as a file specification in templates.
|
| You can already use a function like (buffer-file-name) to get the currently
| visited file. So (currentfile) is not necessary.
`----
What a round trip :).
A quick test suggests this should do:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("w"
"*TEST*: entry function currentfile"
entry
(file+headline (buffer-file-name) "Notes")
"* Eintrag")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
This should file your capture item "* Eintrag" under the Node "* Notes"
in the buffer you called capture from.
Is that what you had in mind?

Yes - exactly that.
Now if this could go into the documentation of org-capture, that would be
great.
Thanks a lot,

to extend the same, I have a similar requirement where I want to capture
subtasks of a TODO item as I am working on it. So the (TODO)node under
which I want to capture changes with the time. It would be good If there is a
way to specify capture destination dynamically(most of the time the
capture destination is under the current clocked item)
Thanks.,
Yagnesh.

I think I now what you want, but to be sure, a simple example outline
would help.

In your capture buffer you can finish it with C-2 C-c C-w (instead of
C-c C-c) to file to the current clocking task.

The doc string of `org-capture-templates' concisely says:
,----
| A file can also be given as a variable, function, or Emacs Lisp
| form.
`----
So it is documented already.
(Note to self:
"Docstrings deserve closer attention. Do not only skim over them anymore!")
Might be worth a footnote in the manual.
OTOH, this seems to be sort of a corner case;
the manual should not try to encompass everything there is...
