Re: (noob) interactive template? how?

[Sven Ehret <sven@ehlu.name>]

Thank you a hundred times for your friendly and helpful response to
message that was so brief that I admittedly consider it unreasonable demand.

I am a noob to Emacs and to Org-mode, and I do not know how to execute
the emacs-lisp yet, but I have yanked the code into ~/.emacs. Now, the
real key to my question was the part about pressing M-x. That I was not
able to figure out. From the code I assumed that it was looking for a
Recipe section, but all the other templates I came across worked with
the C-c capture method.

Thanks to you, I was able to introduce an Org file to my recipe project
and I am happy to have another use case for Org.

Cheers! Sven.

Perhaps I should have had some tabular data like can be found at http://sachachua.com/blog/2012/06/emacs-org-grocery-lists-batch-cooking/.
