Thanks for the info. In the meantime I had just created two functions
with no parameters to return the values and this worked.
Trying now to auto remember. I have some code like this:-
,----
| (defun rgr/context-babel()
| (interactive)
| (save-window-excursion(unwind-protect
| (let* ((default (region-or-word-at-point)))
| (setq default (read-string (format "Translate
\"%s\" :" default) nil nil default))
| (when (length default) (setq
| rgr/trans-word (babel default nil t))(setq rgr/orig-word
| default)(org-remember nil ?v)(message "%s" rgr/trans-word))))))
`----
Thanks. I had already create two funcs to call so my template is now:-
,----
| ("vocab"?v "* TODO Learn %(rgr/orig-word)
|
:VOCAB:\n:PROPERTIES:\n:orig:\t%(rgr/orig-word)\n:trans:\t%(rgr/trans-word)\n:END:%!"
| nil bottom nil)
`----
and the translate code I call does this:
,----
| ;;;###autoload
| (defun rgr/context-babel()
| (interactive)
| (save-window-excursion(unwind-protect
| (let* ((default (region-or-word-at-point)))
| (setq default (read-string (format "Translate
\"%s\" :" default) nil nil default))
| (when (length default) (setq rgr/trans-word
(babel default nil t))(setq rgr/orig-word default)(org-remember nil ?v)(message
"%s" rgr/trans-word))))))
`----
and now I have my translate hot key auto creating VOCAB TODOs. The only
thing I need to know now is how to auto schedule them.
