Hi,
I'm currently using this template,
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
* %A [/]
- [ ] %?
#+END_EXAMPLE
However when capturing in a non-file buffer, %A generates nothing. I'd like to have a plain text inserted instead. What can I do?
regards,

What do you mean by "a plain text inserted"? Could you give an example?
Thank you.

Hi Nicolas,
when in a file backed buffer, doing org capture with %A generates
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
[[some link][some description]]
#+END_EXAMPLE
and if the buffer has no file associated with it, I'd like %A to generate
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
some description
#+END_EXAMPLE
the above "some description" is inputed via prompting user.
regards,

It sounds wrong to link to a temporary buffer, i.e., to volatile
contents. It may be more appropriate to use
%^{prompt}
in your template instead of
%A
when capturing from there.
WDYT?

Um, but I'd like to use this template for both cases. When inside a temporary, don't generate a
link, but plain text instead, while in a file buffer, generate the link as usual.
