I've got a capture template where I want to prompt for a string and use
it in two places, but I end up being prompted twice. I want a template
something like the below, and be prompted only once each for Title and
Abstract. Is that possible somehow? Any help appreciated.
: * TODO Write %^{Title} Blog post
: #+begin_html
: ---
: title: %^{Title}
: layout: post
: abstract: %^{Abstract}
: ---
: #+end_html
:
: %^{Abstract}
:
: %?

You can use %1, %2... to reuse the first string, the second one...

Thanks! I now managed to get it to work, but had to add more
backslashes: %\1, %\2 etc, not %1, %2. BTW, the manual[1] actually says
%\\n, so adds _too many_ backslashes :-)
