thanks for asking about this.
for clarity, let's do it from the beginning.
[first please note that i am experiencing random results. sometimes
it works fine but:
1] sometimes nothing shows up
2] sometimes as i will describe below
3] sometimes nothing shows up, but "Warning (emacs): Please update
your org protocol handler to deal with new-style links." buffer pops
up
what i will describe is 2, which is the topic of this thread.]
just now i selected the first two paragraphs of the quote of your
email, and clicked the org-capture extension unicorn.
i use this function:
(defun alpha-org-protocol-string (link description region)
(format "* x
link %s
description %s
region %s
" link description region))
the result of clicking on the unicorn:
===
***** x
link
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?&th=15a580ccf5cb9d34&v=c
description Gmail - %( in capture template
region
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?&th=15a580ccf5cb9d34&v=c"
"Gmail - %( in capture template" "> with the new org maint code, i
still occasionally get the literal string.
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?&th=15a580ccf5cb9d34&v=c"
"Gmail - %( in capture template" ">
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?&th=15a580ccf5cb9d34&v=c"
"Gmail - %( in capture template" "> it occurs when the region spans a
blank line.
===
region should be what i selected. instead it is a garbled version of
what i selected with the literal function call text. is this user
error?
the double quotes are as you see them. i did not add any.
below are my templates.
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
`("L" "Protocol L for link" entry
(file+headline ,org-default-notes-file "xyzzy-remember")
;; fixme perhaps i do not need the %i, if it is for no text
"%(alpha-org-protocol-string \"%:link\"
\"%:description\" \"%i\") L"
:prepend t :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t))
;; this seems to get called by org capture whether selection or not
(add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
`("p" "Protocol p" entry
(file+headline ,org-default-notes-file "xyzzy-remember")
"%(alpha-org-protocol-string \"%:link\"
\"%:description\" \"%i\")"
:prepend t :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t))
the org capture extension is set to p, so the second one should be the
operative one. but what do i know?
so perhaps %i is being set to some crazy value.
i definitely do not understand any of this stuff.
