Thanks! the problem was the missing comma, as I had the backquote
already there. This must have changed some time ago, as I used these
templates before. This is working now.
But now I realized that my other in-file capture templates are giving
the same message. Here is one of my in-file capture templates:
,----
| (setq org-capture-templates
| `(
| ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
| ;; In File Logging ::
| ;; ;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;::
| ("p" "Problem to be logged in buffer"
| entry (file+headline (buffer-file-name) "QUESTIONS")
| ...
| ))
`----
I assume it also has to do with the evaluation, but putting a comma in
front of (buffer-file-name) does not change anything.
Thanks,
Rainer
