I am writing an Org Capture Template. But I want to use concat
to keep indentation. But it is giving me "Invalid capture template".
(setq org-capture-templates
'( ("t" "Todo" entry
(file "~/02history/rcl.org")
(concat "* TODO %^{Heading}\n Brief: %^{Brief}\n"
"Detail: %?\n"
"Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n") ))
-------
(setq org-capture-templates
'( ("t" "Todo" entry
(file "~/02history/rcl.org")
"* TODO %^{Heading}\n Brief: %^{Brief}\n
Detail: %?\n
Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n") ))

You mean if you can add different capture templates? You can add as many as you want from where you want; it is just a list so you can use list manipulation routines to change it. You can use add-to-list instead of setq list: (add-to-list 'org-capture-template '( ... )) instead of (setq org-capture-template '( ... )) No idea how it will work if you have capture tamplates on same key though; I guess last one will take precedence, but I don't know. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

This '((+ 2 2)) will not be evaluated to '(4) To have `concat' evaluted you would need: (list (list "t" "Todo" 'entry '(file "~/02history/rcl.org") (concat "* TODO %^{Heading}\n Brief: %^{Brief}\n" "Detail: %?\n" "Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n") )) As you see I would need to quote entry and list beginning with `file' not to get such evaluated to make concat work. And there is also no ensurance that program using customized variable will take it as list to be evaluated. It is better you do with with hand by using: "* TODO %^{Heading}\n Brief: %^{Brief}\n"Detail: %?\nEntered: %T\nLink: %a\n" ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

Afterwards, I thought that concat could help me to indent the string for cases where it is too long. Is there any other way to be able to indent, rather than using column number 1, when starting a new line? ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

Is there any other way to be able to indent, rather than > using column number 1, when starting a new line? When doing customization or when writing some text? Or in programming modes? In customization I have no idea about indenting. Normally items are in field forms and person need not do complicated lists. Do you use the `customize' function to define org-capture-templates? As it looks like below, pretty visible, easier to edit. Hide Org Capture Templates: INS DEL Choice: Value Menu Template entry: Keys : p Description : Protocol Capture Type : Value Menu Org entry Target location: Value Menu File & Headline: Filename : Value Menu Literal: ~/Documents/Orgnotes.org Headline: Inbox Template : Value Menu String: * %^{Title} Source: %u, %c #+BEGIN_QUOTE %i #+END_QUOTE If you use it directly in your config, then you have standard Emacs Lisp indentation. For strings you can do any how, but then do not invoke M-q to indent as it will ruin your own string chunk indentations. When there are longer strings with new lines I tend to define them this way: (let ((string "The heading Then anything else is here. I just keep writing straight from first column"))) rather than using this way: (let ((string (concat "The heading\n\n" "Then anything else is here.\n" "I just keep writing straight from first column")))) And I mean longer strings than those above. For few lines I could be using similar method like you. ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 19+ messages in thread

The syntax rules in Emacs Lisp allow to quote a linebreak so that it doesn't get part of the string, and that allows to write strings like this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (message "\ A string consisting of multiple lines.") #+end_src When I want to use a string literal I prefer that. All string lines are indended equally, and Emacs-Lisp mode knows how to handle that, i.e. indentation commands won't mess it up. And you don't get overlong lines with this method.
