Quick question. I'm playing with a new template and the new line
characters are being inserted as string-literals (?) instead of being
read as new lines.
In other words, my template is
,----
| * %U\n *%^{Note Title}* %?\n %i %a
`----
When called, I get the following after typing "Test" at the prompt:
,----
| **** [2010-11-17 Wed 13:11]\n *Test* \n
`----
When the following is expected:
,----
| **** [2010-11-17 Wed 13:11]
| *Test*
| <cursor placed here>
`----
The template is uses date trees.
Thanks for any help.
Jeff

I don't normally do this, but *bump*...
Or rather, "halp!?" Thanks.

Jeff,
Can you post the relevant section of your config file?
I understand you included that template, but the context may help.
Thanks.

No problem! Thanks for your willingness to help, Russell. The relevant
section is below.
,----
| '(org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline
| "~/org/ftr/jeff/notes/tasks.org" "Tasks") "* TODO %? %i %a") ("n"
| "Note" entry (file+datetree "~/org/ftr/jeff/notes/notes.org") "* %U\\n
| *%^{Note Title}* %?\\n %i %a"))))
`----
The variable was set through customize. If I'm reading this correctly,
it appears that the customize interface is inserting an *additional*
escape character before the slash. I'd consider this a bug, since this
was not expected.
Do you know of a way to insert a newline through customize that doesn't
get escaped automatically when the string is saved?
Thanks,
Jeff

Removing the extra escapes fixes the issue.

Manually editing the customize init file and then viewing the variable
through the customize interface reveals the solution: simply press
return when inputting the string. The newline is picked up
automatically.
Thanks for suggesting I look at the config again!

I saw that!

I always manually set mine up, the Customize interface is new to
me. I'm impressed it lets you do multiline entry.

No problem, glad you solved your problem!

In the customize interface, you can create a newline in the template
using C-j or C-o or C-q C-j
