I've just tried this and it worked for me (give or take).  Both ways.

What versions of org, emacs and org-vcard?  I downloaded the latest
version of the latter from https://github.com/flexibeast/org-vcard

By the way, there is also a bbdb-vcard package that may be of use to you.

thanks for asking about this.

for clarity, let's do it from the beginning.

[first please note that i am experiencing random results.  sometimes
it works fine but:

  1] sometimes nothing shows up
  2] sometimes as i will describe below
  3] sometimes nothing shows up, but "Warning (emacs): Please update
your org protocol handler to deal with new-style links." buffer pops
up

what i will describe is 2, which is the topic of this thread.]

just now i selected the first two paragraphs of the quote of your
email, and clicked the org-capture extension unicorn.

i use this function:

(defun alpha-org-protocol-string (link description region)
  (format "* x
   link %s
   description %s
   region %s
   " link description region))

the result of clicking on the unicorn:

===
* x
   link
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?=15a580ccf5cb9d34=c
   description Gmail - %( in capture template
   region
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?=15a580ccf5cb9d34=c;
"Gmail - %( in capture template" "> with the new org maint code, i
still occasionally get the literal string.
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?=15a580ccf5cb9d34=c;
"Gmail - %( in capture template" ">
%(alpha-org-protocol-string
"https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/h/rfjkj7op114w/?=15a580ccf5cb9d34=c;
"Gmail - %( in capture template" "> it occurs when the region spans a
blank line.
===

region should be what i selected.  instead it is a garbled version of
what i selected with the literal function call text.  is this user
error?

the double quotes are as you see them.  i did not add any.

below are my templates.

  (add-to-list 'org-capture-templates
   `("L" "Protocol L for link" entry
 (file+headline ,org-default-notes-file "xyzzy-remember")
 ;; fixme perhaps i do not need the %i, if it is for no text
 "%(alpha-org-protocol-string \"%:link\"
\"%:description\" \"%i\") L"
 :prepend t :immediate-finish t :jump-to-captured t))
  ;; this seems to get called by org capture whether selection or not
  (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))

the org capture extension is set to p, so the second one should be the
operative one.  but what do i know?

so perhaps %i is being set to some crazy value.

i definitely do not understand any of this stuff.

[O] [PATCH] Add org-babel support for hledger

[Simon Michael]

Hello all, thanks for org-mode. 

I'd like org-babel to support hledger for generating financial reports, similar 
to the existing support for Ledger. 

I don't know the exact process to follow (instructions in the git repo, on the 
website and in irc are different) and have not yet signed FSF copyright 
assignment - any help appreciated. Below is the output of git format-patch.

Best,
-Simon

[O] orgtbl-insert-matrix, embedded

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

I can use orgtbl-insert-matrix to nicely insert one matrix
resulting in
% BEGIN RECEIVE ORGTBL neu
\[
\begin{pmatrix}
8 & 8 \\
 &  \\
\end{pmatrix}
\]
% END RECEIVE ORGTBL neu
\begin{comment}
#+ORGTBL: SEND neu orgtbl-to-latex-matrix :splice nil :skip 0
| 8 | 8 |
|   |   |
\end{comment}
is there a way to insert another array into the same latex environment?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer 

[O] org-caldav, pull only

[Michael Welle]

Hello,

can I configure org-caldav in such a way, that it doesn't synchronise,
but only pull from the server? I don't want local changes, esp.
deletions in shared calendars, going back to the server.

Thank you for the patch and the analysis. I eventually fixed it with
a slightly different solution, however.

I cannot reproduce your issue.

I have trouble understanding the double quote above. Do you mean the
text below is inserted within the %(concat ...) or are these your
templates? In this case, which one produces the error?
