28 ;; This file contains an alternative implementation of the same functionality
29 ;; that is also provided by org-remember.el. The implementation is more
30 ;; streamlined, can produce more target types (e.g. plain list items or
31 ;; table lines). Also, it does not use a temporary buffer for editing
32 ;; the captured entry - instead it uses an indirect buffer that visits
33 ;; the new entry already in the target buffer (this was an idea by Samuel
34 ;; Wales). John Wiegley's excellent `remember.el' is not needed for this
35 ;; implementation, even though we borrow heavily from its ideas.
37 ;; This implementation heavily draws on ideas by James TD Smith and
38 ;; Samuel Wales, and, of cause, uses John Wiegley's remember.el as inspiration.
42 ;; - find a clever way to not always insert an annotation maybe a
43 ;; predicate function that can check for conditions for %a to be
44 ;; used. This could be one of the properties.
46 ;; - Should there be plist members that arrange for properties to be
47 ;; asked for, like James proposed in his RFC?

81 "Templates for the creation of new entries.
83 Each entry is a list with the following items:
85 keys The keys that will select the template, as a string, characters
86 only, for example \"a\" for a template to be selected with a
87 single key, or \"bt\" for selection with two keys. When using
88 several keys, keys using the same prefix key must be together
89 in the list and preceded by a 2-element entry explaining the
90 prefix key, for example
92 (\"b\" \"Templates for marking stuff to buy\")
94 The \"C\" key is used by default for quick access to the
95 customization of the template variable. But if you want to use
96 that key for a template, you can.
98 description A short string describing the template, will be shown during
101 type The type of entry. Valid types are:
102 entry an Org-mode node, with a headline. Will be
103 filed as the child of the target entry or as
105 item a plain list item, will be placed in the
106 first plain list at the target
108 checkitem a checkbox item. This differs from the
109 plain list item only is so far as it uses a
110 different default template.
111 table-line a new line in the first table at target location.
112 plain text to be inserted as it is.
114 target Specification of where the captured item should be placed.
115 In Org-mode files, targets usually define a node. Entries will
116 become children of this node, other types will be added to the
117 table or list in the body of this node.
121 (file \"path/to/file\")
122 Text will be placed at the beginning or end of that file
124 (id \"id of existing org entry\")
125 File as child of this entry, or in the body of the entry
127 (file+headline \"path/to/file\" \"node headline\")
128 Fast configuration if the target heading is unique in the file
130 (file+olp \"path/to/file\" \"Level 1 heading\" \"Level 2\" ...)
131 For non-unique headings, the full path is safer
133 (file+regexp \"path/to/file\" \"regexp to find location\")
134 File to the entry matching regexp
136 (file+datetree \"path/to/file\")
137 Will create a heading in a date tree
139 (file+function \"path/to/file\" function-finding-location)
140 A function to find the right location in the file
143 File to the entry that is currently being clocked
145 (function function-finding-location)
146 Most general way, write your own function to find both
149 template The template for creating the capture item. If you leave this
150 empty, an appropriate default template will be used. See below
151 for more details. Instead of a string, this may also be one of
153 (file \"/path/to/template-file\")
154 (function function-returning-the-template)
156 in order to get a template from a file, or dynamically
159 The rest of the entry is a property list of additional options. Recognized
162 :prepend Normally newly captured information will be appended at
163 the target location (last child, last table line,
164 last list item...). Setting this property will
167 :immediate-finish When set, do not offer to edit the information, just
168 file it away immediately. This makes sense if the
169 template only needs information that can be added
172 :empty-lines Set this to the number of lines the should be inserted
173 before and after the new item. Default 0, only common
176 :clock-in Start the clock in this item.
178 :clock-resume Start the interrupted clock when finishing the capture.
180 :unnarrowed Do not narrow the target buffer, simply show the
181 full buffer. Default is to narrow it so that you
182 only see the new stuff.
184 :table-line-pos Specification of the location in the table where the
185 new line should be inserted. It looks like \"II-3\"
186 which means that the new line should become the third
187 line before the second horizontal separator line.
189 The template defines the text to be inserted. Often this is an org-mode
190 entry (so the first line should start with a star) that will be filed as a
191 child of the target headline. It can also be freely formatted text.
192 Furthermore, the following %-escapes will be replaced with content:
194 %^{prompt} prompt the user for a string and replace this sequence with it.
195 A default value and a completion table ca be specified like this:
196 %^{prompt|default|completion2|completion3|...}
197 %t time stamp, date only
198 %T time stamp with date and time
199 %u, %U like the above, but inactive time stamps
200 %^t like %t, but prompt for date. Similarly %^T, %^u, %^U.
201 You may define a prompt like %^{Please specify birthday
202 %n user name (taken from `user-full-name')
203 %a annotation, normally the link created with `org-store-link'
204 %i initial content, copied from the active region. If %i is
205 indented, the entire inserted text will be indented as well.
206 %c current kill ring head
207 %x content of the X clipboard
208 %^C interactive selection of which kill or clip to use
209 %^L like %^C, but insert as link
210 %k title of currently clocked task
211 %K link to currently clocked task
212 %^g prompt for tags, with completion on tags in target file
213 %^G prompt for tags, with completion on all tags in all agenda files
214 %^{prop}p prompt the user for a value for property `prop'
215 %:keyword specific information for certain link types, see below
216 %[pathname] insert the contents of the file given by `pathname'
217 %(sexp) evaluate elisp `(sexp)' and replace with the result
219 %? After completing the template, position cursor here.
221 Apart from these general escapes, you can access information specific to the
222 link type that is created. For example, calling `org-capture' in emails
223 or gnus will record the author and the subject of the message, which you
224 can access with \"%:from\" and \"%:subject\", respectively. Here is a
225 complete list of what is recorded for each link type.

360 at the target location, and an indirect buffer is shown where you can
361 edit it. Pressing \\[org-capture-finalize] brings you back to the previous state
