Most things work well, except for the file+function and file+regexp targets. Yes, make them like the remember ones. Just call org-capture, and press 'C' to get to the customize buffer. If you have the git distribution, you can do make doc/org.pdf to get the new manual where the remember section has already been replaced with one about capture. - Carsten On Jul 1, 2010, at 5:28 PM, Stephen Eglen wrote: > I'd like to try out org-capture. > > I've never used org-remember before so I have no templates to convert. > Do I make the new ones in pretty much the same way as the manual > describes for org-remember? > > Or should I be patient, and wait for org-capture to stabilise? > > Thanks, Stephen > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Hi, to quote the fine manual: ,----[ (info "(org)Capture templates") ] | You can use templates to arrange for different types of capture items, | and for different target locations. The easiest way to set up such | templates is through the customize interface. | | `C-c c C' | Customize the variable `org-capture-templates'. `---- Is your documentation uptodate? You should find all the information in "9.1 Capture" and its subnodes to get you started. Argh, org-capture.el is not part of the current stable release. So, if you want to try, you need the development version, either with git or download org-latest (link is on orgmode.org). If you still encounter any problems, please describe them so the documentation can be improved :). ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Thanks for this. I have read the nice docs (and found some small typos - will send a patch). One thing immediately struck me: sec 9.1.1. mentions setting: org-default-notes-file but I couldn't see that mentioned in the rest of the chapter. Its docstring would indicate its needed by remember.el, so perhaps there is no need any more to set org-default-notes-file? Stephen ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

Also better wording etc. I am known as the worst typist in the world, and I know that my English is reasonably good but not nearly perfect. > > One thing immediately struck me: sec 9.1.1. mentions setting: > org-default-notes-file > but I couldn't see that mentioned in the rest of the chapter.

This variable is not necessary, but it is used if you are too lazy to give a target file in the template definition. - Carsten ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
