But the captured entry does get inserted in references.bib, doesn't it? It does for me. >From the backtrace, it seems the error arises only when you try to jump to the captured entry. In an Org file it might be folded/hidden, so =org-goto-marker-or-bmk= tries to make sure it's unfolded enough that you see the context. I think that's an internal helper function that isn't expected to be invoked on locations outside Org files, but maybe it would be a good idea to change it to test if we're in an Org buffer before trying any unfolding. Meanwhile, you can at least avoid the error message by setting =:jump-to-capture nil= in the template. Though not quite the workflow you wanted, it should work to get web pages into the bibtex file. > Does Org capture only work with Org files? That seems a reasonable expectation, at least, since Org doesn't know how to insert captured items into particular locations in arbitrary formats, or how to jump to a stored item that opens in an arbitrary mode where it might be hidden by an overlay. So I don't think it's a bug if doing so causes errors. Though your example shows that Org capture *can* partly be made to work with other formats. Yours, Christian
