This lets me write a more complex capture template (in my case for one of several “roles” that I take on ad-hoc but recurring basis during meetings). I call the template with an entry like the following in org-capture-templates. ("Mg" "Grammarian" entry (file+headline "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Toastmasters.org" "Miscellaneous and Non-Goal roles 2015") (file "~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/grammarian.org_template") :jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish t) In this specific case, it places the entry under a special pre-defined Org heading, but I could always call org-capture with a `C-0' (zero) prefix to insert a template at point. I can edit the template file as things change, and it can be pretty complex (some of my represent Projects: A header, several sub headers as tasks, etc.).
