Thanks! I now managed to get it to work, but had to add more
backslashes: %\1, %\2 etc, not %1, %2. BTW, the manual[1] actually says
%\\n, so adds _too many_ backslashes :-)

You can use %1, %2... to reuse the first string, the second one...

I've got a capture template where I want to prompt for a string and use
it in two places, but I end up being prompted twice. I want a template
something like the below, and be prompted only once each for Title and
Abstract. Is that possible somehow? Any help appreciated.
