D'oh^2: everything else is interpreted, so why not %? ?
The problem seems to be in org-capture-place-plain-text: the insertion
of the text happens like this
,
| ...
| (setq beg (point))
| (insert txt)
| (org-capture-empty-lines-after 1)
| (org-capture-position-for-last-stored beg)
| (setq end (point))
| (org-capture-mark-kill-region beg (1- end))
| (org-capture-narrow beg (1- end))
| (if (re-search-forward "%\\?" end t) (replace-match ""
`
but it seesm that just before the re-search-forward, point is at
end, not at beg, so the search is fruitless. We could search backwards
to beg instead (but what is the semantics of multiple %? markers in the
template?), or we could just (goto-char beg) before the search.

D'oh: plain type just inserts things literally. Need more coffee.

I don't think so. I can reproduce it and I think it is a bug: %? does
not seem to be interpreted in the first case, it is interpreted in the
second case, but I don't know what causes the difference.

[O] my capture template generates a literal "%?"
Hi,
I am using Emacs 24.1 in Win7 (64bit) and Org 7.8.11.
I would like to have a capture template that just puts me at the end of
my journal in plain text (although date tree) after a custom time stamp
(e.g. 09:13). I tried the following
("p" "Plain Journal" plain (file+datetree
"C:/Users/Geralb/Documents/privat/org/MyAgenda.org")
"%<%H:%M>\n\n%?"
:unnarrowed t :empty-lines 1)
But in this template a literal %? is written and point is thereafter.
I tried another template
("e" "Entry Journal" entry (file+datetree
"C:/Users/Geralb/Documents/privat/org/MyAgenda.org")
"* Um %U von %a\n\n%?\n"
:empty-lines 1 :unnarrowed t)
And this seems to work, but it's not what I would like to have.
Did I write the template wrong?
