Hi, I am using date trees with org-capture with the =:empty-lines n= directive. The list item of =org-capture-templates= looks similar to this one:
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE (list "j" "Journal" 'entry (list 'file+olp+datetree journal-file) "* %^{Entry}\n%?\n" :empty-lines 1) #+END_EXAMPLE Now, whenever a new day is inserted, for instance today, : *** 2018-04-06 Friday There is no empty line before that line but between this line and the actual headline of the captured entry. So the complete captured entry looks like this: : Some text in the file that was already present before the Org capture process. : Bla. : *** 2018-04-06 Friday : : **** TODO The newly captured entry : Some text. However, I think it should rather look like this: : Some text in the file that was already present before the Org capture process. : Bla. : : *** 2018-04-06 Friday : (OPTIONAL EMPTY LINE HERE) : **** TODO The newly captured entry : Some text. Only, if I enter another entry, the line should be left empty, like : Some text in the file that was already present before the Org capture process. : Bla. : : *** 2018-04-06 Friday : (OPTIONAL EMPTY LINE HERE) : **** TODO The newly captured entry : Some text. : (MANDATORY EMPTY LINE HERE) : **** TODO The new newly captured entry : Bla bla bla. Please let me know what you think. Dominik
