Hello all,
I'm sure this is a basic elisp thing but I'd like some help:
I wanted to abstract the "sprintf-like" formats of the template expansion
into readable variables that I can reuse in my templates. However, upon
substituting variable for the formats, I am getting "Invalid capture template"
for the capture template "T" below -- for comparison the "t" template works.
What am I doing wrong? I'm sure it has to do with the '() value of org-capture templates,
and the fact that the (concat) is not evaluated. What is the "correct" way to do this
in elisp?
Here's my code:
#+begin_src emacs-lisp
(setq org-capture-templates '())
(setq njn-clocked-entry "\nclocked: %K\n")
(setq njn-from-entry "\nfrom: %a\n")
(setq njn-capture-trailer "\n--\n")
(setq org-capture-templates '(
("T" "Todo: Detailed" entry (file+headline "" "Tasks")
(concat "* todo %^{Heading}\n%U\n%?" njn-from-entry njn-clocked-entry njn-capture-trailer) :prepend t)
("t" "Todo: Basic" entry (file+headline "" "Tasks") "* todo %^{Heading}\n%U\n%?\nclocked: %K\n" :prepend t)))
Thanks,
