No problem! Thanks for your willingness to help, Russell. The relevant
section is below.

,----
|  '(org-capture-templates (quote (("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline
|  "~/org/ftr/jeff/notes/tasks.org" "Tasks") "* TODO %? %i %a") ("n"
|  "Note" entry (file+datetree "~/org/ftr/jeff/notes/notes.org") "* %U\\n
|  *%^{Note Title}* %?\\n %i %a"))))
`----

The variable was set through customize. If I'm reading this correctly,
it appears that the customize interface is inserting an *additional*
escape character before the slash. I'd consider this a bug, since this
was not expected.

Do you know of a way to insert a newline through customize that doesn't
get escaped automatically when the string is saved?

Thanks,
Jeff
