Here are my capture templates, for instance #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "todo" entry (file "refile-orgx.org") "* TODO %?\n %U") ("T" "todo with link" entry (file "refile-orgx.org") "* TODO %?\n %U\n\n%a") ("r" "Reply" entry (file "refile-orgx.org") "* TODO Reply to %:fromname about %:subject\n%?Received on %:date-timestamp-inactive, link: %a") ("w" "Wait for reply" entry (file "refile-orgx.org") "* WAITING reply from %:to about %:subject\n%?Sent on %:date-timestamp-inactive, link: %a") ("o" "Old Journal" entry (file+datetree+prompt "diary-runx.org") "* %i%?\n%u\n") ("O" "Old Journal with link" entry (file+datetree+prompt "diary-runx.org") "* %i%?\n%u\n%a\n") ("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "diary-runx.org") "* %i%?\nEntered on %U\n") ("J" "Journal with link" entry (file+datetree "diary-runx.org") "* %i%?\nEntered on %U\n%a\n") ("i" "Store link in offline" plain (file "urls-offline.org") "%l")))) #+end_src You need to adapt this to your needs, of course.
