    Thanks Nicolas. One more issue. In the past, non-interactive escapes=
    were expanded when the capture buffer was displayed, which enabled me to see what I had just clipped while entering the interactive data. Now
    non-interactive escapes are expanded at the end of the capture process.

    Take the following template:

    (setq org-capture-templates
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 '(("a" "Appointment" entry
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0(file "~/org/inbox.org")
    =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0 =C2=A0"* %^{Appt}\n %^t%?\n %U\n %a= \n\n %i")))

    In the past, if I called this from the org-mode website with a region of text selected, I would get a buffer that looked like this before
    completing the interactive prompts:

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    *
    =C2=A0%^t%?
    =C2=A0[2015-12-03 Thu 11:02]
    =C2=A0[[http://orgmode.org/][Org mode for Emacs =E2=80=93 Your Life in P= lain Text]]

    =C2=A0Org mode is for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, planning
    =C2=A0projects, and authoring documents with a fast and effective plain-tex= t
    =C2=A0system.
    --8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

    After the recent changes, the initial capture buffer looks like this:

    --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
    *
    =C2=A0%^t%?
    =C2=A0%U
    =C2=A0%a

    =C2=A0%i
    =C2=A0--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8-= --

    Thanks,
    Matt
