Hi, to quote the fine manual: ,----[ (info "(org)Capture templates") ] | You can use templates to arrange for different types of capture items, | and for different target locations. The easiest way to set up such | templates is through the customize interface. | | `C-c c C' | Customize the variable `org-capture-templates'. `---- Is your documentation uptodate? You should find all the information in "9.1 Capture" and its subnodes to get you started. Argh, org-capture.el is not part of the current stable release. So, if you want to try, you need the development version, either with git or download org-latest (link is on orgmode.org). If you still encounter any problems, please describe them so the documentation can be improved :).
