This syntax in capture templates does not seem to be working for me, and I
can't figure out why:
------------------------8<----------------------------
%\n Insert the text entered at the nth %^{prompt}, where n is
a number, starting from 1.
------------------------8<----------------------------
I'm using it like this:
------------------------8<----------------------------
("a" "Addressbook templates")
("af" "Addressbook - family" entry (file+headline org-addressbook-file
"Family")
"* %^{First name} %^{Middle name} %^{Last name}
:PROPERTIES:
:FIRSTNAME: %\1
:MIDDLENAME: %\2
:LASTNAME: %\3
:ADDRESS-H: %^{Home address}
:HOMEPHONE: %^{Home phone}
usw.
------------------------8<----------------------------
But instead of the template filling in the second reference with the values
entered for, eg., {First name}, I get, (also eg.) %^A (and the ^A is
highlighted, maybe a control character?)
Has this syntax maybe changed in a way not reflected in the manual?
