I am writing an org capture template for a book. I would like a different function
for each book, suppose I have three (Book A, Book B, Book C). Selecting either A,
B, and C, I can then te to the respective entries for each book.
Can using three different functions be done to make org-capture templates?
(defun captr-writing ()
(setq org-capture-templates
`(("A" "Book A") ; backquote construct
("A1" "Tdr: Ch01 Oceanic Microseismology" entry
(file+headline "~/02histr/tdr/01ch.rcl.org" "Tdr Document")
,(concat "* Oceanic Microseismology\n" ; special marker
" %^{Select |Augment:|Include:|Clarify:|Organise:} %?\n"
" Scheduled: %^T\n Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n")
:clock-in t :clock-resume t :empty-lines 1)
("A2" "+ Ch02 Multi-Resolution Spectral Analysis" entry
(file+headline "~/02histr/tdr/02ch.rcl.org" "Tdr Document")
,(concat "* Ch02 Multi-Resoln Spectr Anly\n"
" %^{Select |Augment:|Include:|Clarify:|Organise:} %?\n"
" Scheduled: %^T\n Entered: %T\n Link: %a\n")
:clock-in t :clock-resume t :empty-lines 1) )))
Thank you

I made the following, with "H-c" not working

Well, my first thought has been to put template entries in a list. But, yes, things are not
working out very well.

I had to think long about what this question wants to ask.
I guess you want to know how you can add more templates without
overwriting the existing (partly filled) list of templates?

I want to write ideas for three books say, and could have the template list
for each book in either a function or a variable. Then append the three at
the end.
Have been trying as follows with just on book for now, but have not been
successful.

You want the binding of the variable, that quote is wrong.
Appending template lists has the problem that you get copies added if
you accidentally reevalute your code.
You might want to consider to use `add-to-list' or `cl-pushnew' to avoid
this problem, or, alternatively, interpret and handle
`org-capture-templates' as an association list (with the key binding as
key and the definition as value). Then you could use `setf' with
`alist-get' to add or even modify or delete entries. This is a very
clean and convenient but more learning involving way to achieve this.
BTW, it should be possible to use buffer local `org-capture-templates'
binding.
> (global-set-key (kbd "H-c") #'captr-tdr)
Why do you want to use a key for this (instead of just evaluating the
code directly in your init file)?

Michael.

I thought to first append the three lists, then transfer them to
org-capture-templates

Because I could have various template setups. This is for writing.
I could have others, e.g. projects, archaeology.
I could use a keybinding to loop to the one I want to use, rather than
sticking everything in one.

With two lists the problematic part is now to add the lists, as the following is failing.
(defun captr-tmplt-writing ()
(interactive)
(message "tmplt-writing")
(setq captr-tmplt-writing tmplt-tdr)
(add-to-list 'captr-tmplt-writing tmplt-uwdiving)

Hard to tell cause the example is incomplete. Could be you use
`add-to-list', which is to add list elements, where you actually want to
append lists...?

Have played more with it and have used append. Things now works as intended.

How would an association list look like for this one book template, if I may ask?

Exactly as now, it is already an association list - or, with other
words: its format is compatible with that concept. Which means you can
use the alist tools to manipulate and modify the value if you want.

Michael.
