Hi everyone,
I am having some problems with a capture template for datetrees.
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("m" "Select meeting templates")
("ms" "Schedule a meeting" entry (file+headline "~/org/meetings.org" "Meetings")
"** %? %^t%^{CATEGORY}p\n"
:empty-lines 1)
("mm" "Meeting minutes w/ clock" entry (file+datetree "~/org/meetings.org")
"**** %^{prompt} %U%^{CATEGORY}p\n\n %?"
:prepend t :clock-in :empty-lines 1 :immediate-finish)
))
I prefer to have empty lines between two headlines and headlines and
text. When I use the above "Meeting minutes w/ clock" template, the new
entry to the date tree is inserted as below despite the ":empty-lines 1"
argument. If I try to end the older entry with a blank line, the empty
like is removed and the new entry is placed like this again.
Any one knows what I am doing wrong? Thank you in advance,
e.g. entry from above template
* 2010
** 2010-12 December
*** 2010-12-16 Thursday
**** Some meeting [2010-12-16 Thu] :tag1:

I can confirm that :emtpy-lines 1 seems to have no effect in a
datetree capture template. I filed two with the template
,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
| '(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/org/datetree.org" "Place table here" "" :empty-lines 1))))
`----
And ended up with:
,----
| * 2011
| ** 2011-01 Januar
| *** 2011-01-09 Sonntag
| **** Fofofof
| [[file:~/projects/org-mode/minimal.el::'(("X"%20"FOO"%20entry%20(file%2Bdatetree%20"/tmp/org/datetree.org"%20"Table%20here"%20""%20:empty-lines%201))))][file:~/projects/org-mode/minimal.el::'(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/org/datetree.org" "Table here" "" :empty-lines 1))))]]
| **** Another one
| [[file:~/projects/org-mode/minimal.el::'(("X"%20"FOO"%20entry%20(file%2Bdatetree%20"/tmp/org/datetree.org"%20"Table%20here"%20""%20:empty-lines%201))))d][file:~/projects/org-mode/minimal.el::'(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "/tmp/org/datetree.org" "Table here" "" :empty-lines 1))))d]]
`----
While I expected an empty line between "Fofofof" and "Another one".

Thanks a lot for confirming this, its reassuring to know it wasn't
a fault on my part. :)

After clock-in and after :immediate-finish, t is missing - all these
keys need a value!
The way you write it, :clock-in has the value :empty lines, and from
then on the property list is broken.

Also this looks like a buggy template definition to me. If I fix it to:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("X" "FOO" entry (file+datetree "~/org/xxxx.org") "* Place
table here" :empty-lines 1)))
I do get empty lines.
If you make the templates with customize, it is much harder to make
mistakes in a complex variable like this.

Thank you for catching this, don't know how I missed that.

Yes I agree and I tried that, but customise doesn't handle newlines very
well. I would prefer the newlines show up as \n rather than actual
newlines in my custom-set-variables. I don't mind editing it later to
fix it either. But when I customise some other variable and save,
customize saves it again with newlines instead of keeping my edited
value with \n.
