I want to create a capture template which prompts for certain properties
in a property draw, but alos creates some other properties without
prompting for a value. However, I am having trouble mixing properties
which are entered by the user and blank properties. The following
example shows what I mean:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(defun capture-letter-file (path)
(let ((name (read-string "File name: ")))
(expand-file-name (format "%s-%s.org"
(format-time-string "%Y-%m-%d")
name) path)))
("z"
"Letter template"
plain
(file (capture-letter-file "~/dropbox/org/org_files/letters"))
"#+STARTUP: showall indent\n#+STARTUP: hidestars\n#+OPTIONS: H:2
num:nil tags:nil toc:nil timestamps:nil\n*
Letter\n:PROPERTIES:\n:to_address:%^{salutation}p %^{to_name}p
%^{subject}p %^{the_closing}p:END:\n
")
#+end_src
This produces:
#+STARTUP: showall indent
#+STARTUP: hidestars
#+OPTIONS: H:2 num:nil tags:nil toc:nil timestamps:nil
* Letter
:PROPERTIES:
:salutation: aaa
:to_name: bbb
:subject: ccc
:the_closing: zzz
:END:
:to_address: :END:
Note the two :END: values and the :to_address: is placed outside the
values for which the user was prompted. I have tried omitting the
:PROPERTIES: and :END: from the template and letting org create them,
but still end up with the :to_address: property being placed outside the
property draw.
Ian.
