org-remember template entry level

org-remember template entry level

[Richard KLINDA]

Hello, when org-remember creates a todo entry for me, it always is a
level 1 entry, like:

,----
| * foo
`----

I want it to be on level 3, like:

,----
| *** foo
`----

However, even if my template contains 3 leading stars,

,----
| (setq org-remember-templates
|       '(("foo" ?f "*** foo"
|          "~/.xemacs/org/foo.org" bottom t)))
`----

the created entry is still on level 1.  Is there a way to make
org-remember keep the number of stars?

Thanks,
Richard

If you want it at level 3, then probably as the child of some level 2  
entry?
Just replace "bottom" put the name of the level 2 headline, without  
any stars.

  (setq org-remember-templates
        '(("foo" ?f "*** foo"
           "~/.xemacs/org/foo.org" "My foo parent heading" t)))

No, the number of stars in the template are ignored.
This is because some setups allow you to change the
destination flexibly, so that the headline level needs
to be adjusted.

It works, thanks!

It makes sense, thank you for the explanation.
