Re: [O] my capture template generates a literal %?
Hi, Nick Dokos nicholas.do...@hp.com writes: D'oh^2: everything else is interpreted, so why not %? ? The problem seems to be in org-capture-place-plain-text: the insertion of the text happens like this , | ... | (setq beg (point)) | (insert txt) | (org-capture-empty-lines-after 1) | (org-capture-position-for-last-stored beg) | (setq end (point)) | (org-capture-mark-kill-region beg (1- end)) | (org-capture-narrow beg (1- end)) | (if (re-search-forward %\\? end t) (replace-match ` but it seesm that just before the re-search-forward, point is at end, not at beg, so the search is fruitless. We could search backwards to beg instead (but what is the semantics of multiple %? markers in the template?), or we could just (goto-char beg) before the search. There was indeed a problem here, I just fixed it. Thanks for the directions, -- Bastien

Did I write the template wrong? I don't think so. I can reproduce it and I think it is a bug: %? does not seem to be interpreted in the first case, it is interpreted in the second case, but I don't know what causes the difference. Nick
