The manual is misleading: "The template refers to the data through %:url and %:title placeholders." http://orgmode.org/manual/_003ccode_003ecapture_003c_002fcode_003e-protocol.html#_003ccode_003ecapture_003c_002fcode_003e-protocol

%:url and $:title are wrong, they should be %:link and %:description
respectively.
Check out the source code of org-protocol-do-capture.
The valid placeholders are
type
link
description
annotation
[O] capture template placeholders do not work
Hi,
I want to use org-mode to store my bookmarks. I configured the following
template:
("b" "Bookmark" entry (file+headline "~/org/bookmarks.org" "Bookmarks") "*
%:url %:title %?\n”)
And I have the following bookmarklet in my browser:
javascript:location.href='org-protocol://capture?template=b'+'&url='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.href)+'&title='+encodeURIComponent(document.title)+'&body='+encodeURIComponent(window.getSelection());
When I click on my bookmarklet, Emacs opens a new capture buffer and here is
what I see:
**
I get an empty entry, the %:url and %:title placeholders are not expanded to
the values passed by the bookmarklet. How can I troubleshoot this?
I’m running emacs 25.3 with the emacs-25.3-mac-6.8 patch on macOS High Sierra
with org-mode 9.1.1.
Thanks,
Carl
