I have a node with properties and I would like to merge that data into a template. For example: * Dogs ** Fido :PROPERTIES: :BREED: West Highland Terrier :COLOR: White :AGE: 2 :END: * Templates ** Dog Template Your dog, called [HEADLINE], is a [COLOR] [BREED], who is [AGE] years old. I want to merge the item called "Fido" into the template called "Dog Template". Could someone point me to the right bit of the manual so I can learn how to do this? Or should I be looking to use a different elisp module to achieve this, something that plays nicely with org-mode? Many thanks Richard
