Hi all,
in my remember templates, I'd like to set some PROPERTIES to the value
of some org-remember escape sequences. Till now, I did that by defining
a template like that:
("NORMAL" ?n "* %?\n %i\n :PROPERTIES:\n :created: %U\n :END:")
This works, but templates become very large quickly. And I don't like
that I have to do the indentation on my own.
Ok, now I have a new usecase. I want to set a property if some escape
sequence is non-nil. Or more concrete: I want to set a property :link:
if the template escape sequence %a has a value.
Therefore, I tried this template using the %(sexp) escape:
("NORMAL" ?n
"* %?\n %i %(org-set-property \"created\" \"%U\")
%(org-set-property \"annotation\" \"%a\")")
Unfortunately, when I select this template, emacs hangs and I have to
hit C-g. At that point, I get this expansion in my remember buffer:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* %?
%(org-set-property "created" "[2009-11-27 Fri 10:38]")
%(org-set-property "annotation"
"[[file:~/News/drafts/drafts/4::hit%20C%20g][file:~/News/drafts/drafts/4::hit C
g]]")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
What I'd like to have is something like the existing
%^{prop}p Prompt the user for a value for property `prop'
but more like
%{prop,escape}p Insert property `prop' with value taken from escape,
if that is non-nil
With this
"%{created,U} %{link,a}"
in a template would always create a :created: property with an inactive
timestamp, and :link: would only be inserted, if there is an annotation
for that remember invocation.
What do you think?
Bye,
Tassilo
