My template targets ~/org/
zettel.org under the "Items" header. The file
looks like this (including the empty line):
* Items
* foo
I then start and abort capture by running (org-capture nil "z").
The file is changed to become thus:
* Items
** foo
When I do this without the newline, the file is unchanged, as expected. So it seems to be purely a problem when there's an empty line after the target.
(I doubt the autogenerated part of this email is readable but I didn't
want to alter it in case there's some reason it has so much whitespace.)
