org-protocol and web links

org-protocol and web links

[Richard Riley]

Does anyone have a "w" template  which can  store a hot link using the
page title (not just the url) in addition to the selection under the
title line? The problem I find is that I havent got the combo right to
do this : if I select something on a conkeror page and then call
org-remember the selection becomes the %c which is usually used to store
an encoded title and url org link.

e.g I want my new org item first line to be something like the following
if I invoke org-remember from conkeror on a web page having first
hilited "blah blah" somewhere on the page

,----
| * org mode home page
| 
| blah blah
`----

where "org mode home page" is actually an encoded link. 

Sure, right now  I can have 

,----
| * http://www.orgmode.org
| 
| title : org mode home page
| 
| blah blah
`----

by using %:link,%:description and %:initial but I cant see a way to
create a hotlink using the page title which is more ideal IF I also
select some text with the mouse - X automatically puts that in the
clipboard.


thanks

With the following org-remember-template:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(setq org-remember-templates
      '(
	;; other templates here
	("protocol" ?w "* %c\n %U\n\n %i" nil bottom nil)
	))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I get the following when I select text on the org-mode home page in
conkeror and call org-protocol-remember (which I have bound to C-c r in
conkeror):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* [[http://orgmode.org/][Org-Mode: Your Life in Plain Text]]

 Org-mode is for keeping notes, maintaining ToDo lists, doing project
 planning, and authoring with a fast and effective plain-text system.
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

What do you have in your conkerorrc? I'm currently using the setup I put
up on the org-protocol page on Worg:

Best,

Heh, typo in my conkerrrc where I had used a different protocol template
selector. All sorted now. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
