As I mentioned below, using the annotation expansion in the template
does not work when using w3.  I did see the error in my template and
have fixed it (unnecessary brackets).  I am wondering if there is some
other way to get the title or if it can be added as a feature.


Hi Robert,

Unfortunately I do not know about a variable that does hold the
title of a page in w3.  In w3m there is w3m-current-title.
In w3, all I was able to find is the URL via

    (org-view-url t)

If anyone knows the magic incantation to extract the page
title in a w3 buffer, I'd be happy to make it the default
for the link description.

I've changed the post below to reflect the change in my template and
what it returns.

Thanks in advance for any help,
rdc

I've been trying to make an org-remember template that will grab the title of the webpage I want to create a link to. This seems to not be
possible, although I could very well be wrong.  I was curious as to
whether a new keyword could be created for w3 and w3m links. Seems that
:title would be very useful.

When I use w3m, the annotation substitution (%a) in the remember
template does the trick. It grabs the url and title of the current page
(using org-store-link).

Thanks.  This does work for w3m but using w3 it returns this:

* [[http:// www.gnu.org]] :gnu:

from this template:

'((?b "* %a %^g %!" "~/bookmarks.org" bottom)

Later today, if I get the chance, I'll explore the solution proposed by
Sebastian Rose.

As stated in a previous mail, Sebastian's solution works for browsers
outside of emacs.

If your mother knew what you're doing, she'd probably hang her head and cry.
