Hello
I am using GNU emacs 26 and org 8.3.6.
I have used org-capture a long time ago and do not recall the details,
but I thought I could select a text and then org-capture would copy that
selected text to a file of my choice in a format I can customize. A bit
like good old remember does/did.
For example I have set
("j" "Journal Entry"
entry (file+datetree "~/ALLES/journal.org")
"* %?"
:empty-lines 1)
But when I call org-capture and then j the selected text is not copied.
What do I miss?
Regards
Uwe Brauer

I think you need to insert %c somewhere in your template. See
`org-capture-templates' for details.

Try adding "%i" to the capture template, for example like so:
("j" "Journal Entry"
entry (file+datetree "~/ALLES/journal.org")
"* %?\n\n %i"
:empty-lines 1)
