When I capture a new item to org-mode where the template includes %i
(capture active region), other placeholders in the region are replaced
(evaluated).
For example, capturing with the template
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
("t" "Todo" entry
(file+headline "todo.org" "Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a\n")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
while the following region is active:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
;; ("w" "URL" entry (file+headline "notes.org" "URLs")
;; "* %^{Title}\n\n Source: %u, %c\n\n %i")
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
it will asks for 'Title' because the captured region contains the
placeholder %^{Title}.
This feels wrong, and is most likely a bug.
