#Templates
There are some default templates.
To create your own, set `org-capture-templates` variable.
It should be a list of templates.
```lisp
("t" "TODO" entry
(file "~/org/todos.org")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n")
```
It contains
- Shortcut key
- Name
- Type
- Pattern string with markers
---
#More templates
Another simple example, using the clipboard content (`%x`)
```lisp
("l" "Link" plain
(file (concat org-directory "/links.org"))
"- %?\n %x\n")
```
The parameter after key and name is type. It can be one of
- `plain`, just any text
- `entry`, an org-mode node (text and headline)
- `item`, a plain text list item
- `checkitem`, like item, but with checkmark template
- `table-line`, a new row in a table
See type in [manual](http://orgmode.org/org.html#Template-elements).
---
#Location to store
Put the note under a specific heading, "Quotes", via function `file+heading`.
```lisp
("z" "Quote" plain
(file+headline (concat "~/Schreiben/quotes.org") "Quotes")
"%c%x%?\n\n --")
```
That will place it under the heading in the target file
![Wrinting note](/3quotes-file-top.png)
---
#Use options
Use properties list at the end.
This one closes the buffer if not open before (`:kill-buffer`), and also adds at beginning (`:prepend`).
Also, surround with :empty-lines, before and after.
```lisp
("n" "Note" plain
(file (concat "~/Schreiben/notes.org"))
"\n%?\n\n%T\n"
:kill-buffer t :prepend t :empty-lines 1)
```

.left-column[
## Expansion

#Things to insert
- Point where cursor should be at (`%?`)
- Date and time (`%t`, `%T`)
- Clipboard (`%x`)
- Kill ring head (`%c`)
- Current tasks, files, current file path
- Many more
