You could try replacing "<Current Month>" with =,(format-time-string "%B")= in your capture template (just make sure to use a backtick rather than a quote. The snippet below would provide just such a capture template that expands to "<Month> <Year>" automatically without any intervention on a monthly or annual basis. It doesn't include the inactive timestamp, or any other markings, but those can be easily added or adapted from the existing template. #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-capture-templates `(("t" "Test" entry (file+headline "~/test/test-capture.org" ,(format "%s %s" (format-time-string "%B") (format-time-string "%Y")))))) #+end_src > > Thanks, > John > >> >> >> http://orgmode.org/w/?p=org-mode.git;a=blob_plain;f=lisp/org-datetree.el;hb=HEAD >> >>> 2) Is there a reason that the org-agenda-after-show-hook is only called >>> when using org-agenda-goto and not org-agenda-switch-to, or is this a >>> bug? >> >> A leftover, fixed now, thanks! >> >> -- >> Bastien >> > Regards, -- Jon
