capture literally inserts.  i was told this is not normal,
but a bug.

recent maint

to reproduce, evaluate the following code, select the lines
in the scratch buffer, and run m-x org-capture RET p.

set the notes file to whatever works for you.

*** code
  (require 'org-capture)
  (setq org-default-notes-file (substitute-in-file-name
"$dorg/alpha-org-testcase.org"))
  ;; (find-file org-default-notes-file)
  (defun alpha-org-testcase--create-capture-bug ()
    (add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
                 `("p" "Protocol p" entry
                   (file+headline ,org-default-notes-file "xyzzy-remember")
                   "%(alpha-org-protocol-string \"%:link\"
\"%:description\" \"%i\")"
                   :prepend t :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t))
    (defun alpha-org-protocol-string (link description region)
      (format "* debug org-capture
           - link %s
           - description %s
           - region %s \
           "
              link description region)))
*** the bug is below
***** debug org-capture
             - link
             - description
             - region ;; This buffer is for notes you don't want to
save, and for Lisp evaluation.
  %(alpha-org-protocol-string "" "" ";; If you want to create a file,
visit that file with C-x C-f,
  %(alpha-org-protocol-string "" "" ";; then enter the text in that
file's own buffer.
  %(alpha-org-protocol-string "" "" "
  %(alpha-org-protocol-string "" "" "

The disease DOES progress. MANY people have died from it. And ANYBODY

The NIH, FDA, and CDC are not there for you.  Not without activism.
