So, reverse-engineering the example I've eventually found the relevant points of the documentation: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html[1] %i' will be replaced by the selected text in your browser window if any. In addition, you may use the following placeholders in your template: Placeholders Replacement %:link URL of the web-page %:description The title of the web-page %:initial Selected text. https://orgmode.org/manual/Template-expansion.html[2] So, not so many examples, that's all. So I've rewritten Jethro's example using `%:initial` because it's easier to read: ```emacs-lisp (setq org-capture-templates `(("l" "org-protocol-capture" entry (file "~/path/inbox.org") "* TODO [[%:link][%:description]]\n\n %:initial" :immediate-finish t))) ``` > > Goal is to have the capturing work in the background, with emacs started as > a daemon, but with no opened emacsclient frame: > capture, simply, silently, unobtrusively. > > > Chris > > > > -------- > > [1] https://orgmode.org/manual/The-capture-protocol.html > > [2] > > https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/lisp/org/org-protocol.el > > -------- > [1] https://blog.jethro.dev/posts/capturing_inbox/ -------- [1] https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.html
