Yes, it expects a string. > Is it possible to achieve what I want with the current org-capture > implementation? See above. The problem being, of course, that the capture template for "f" will use some_variable *statically* -- if the value of the some_variable variable changed after you evaluated the s-expression (setq org-capture-templates ...) then the new value will not be known. > If not, consider this as a feature request.

If you want to use a function ,some_variable will not work, check ,@ constructs in the Elisp manual. Thanks, -- Bastien
