Hey list,
I want a truly custom string to be output by the org-remember
template, so I thought I could do something like:
("Journal Entry" ?j (concat "* " (mycustomfunc)))
Since "mycustomfunc" and concat both return strings, I thought I
wouldn't have a problem...
But it fails with:
let*: Wrong type argument: char-or-string-p, (concat "kd" "d")
I'm not yet that good with elisp to debug that. Could someone give a
hand ? Or it's not possible at all?
Thanks,
Marcelo.

org-remember is more or less obsolete by now. You should consider using
org-capture instead: it gives you much more flexibility (including the
ability to define a function that returns the template to be used).

Hi Nick,
Nice to know that! I'll try org-catpure.
Thanks,
Marcelo.
