I re-tried with `org-protocol-remember' and yes, all of the placeholders
work there.

In exactly the way they are described in the documentation, e.g. at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php#sec-6_2.

My (remember) template looks like ...

--8<--------------------------snip-------------------------->8---

("URLs" ?u "* TODO %:description\n  (created: %U)\n\n  %c\n\n  %i"
"todo.org" bottom) 

--8<--------------------------snap-------------------------->8---

No, I used `org-capture-import-remember-templates' to get the initial
set of templates. All other templates work without problems.

%c is working as expected, i.e. it creates a link with the page title as
label. BTW, %x contains exactly the same and not (as I thought) the
selected text.

Those two do not output anything.

Currently, I use a minimal template with more or less only %c. However,
it would be nice to have access to

- page title (w/o link)
- page URL
- selected text

Do you need some more information? Should I do some further testing?

Ulf
