doct VS org-lectures

Doct! Writing org capture templates is a PITA.

For such a compelx logic in templates, I recommend (function function-returning-the-template) templates. Or you can explore https://github.com/progfolio/doct

https://github.com/progfolio/doct implements a way for templates to inherit from a parent group or template. There were plans to use doct in org-roam early on, but I no longer contribute to the project and I think it has continued down the path of using its own extensions to capture templates.

I use doct which I would advise to use as well if you want to write your templates more clean

I have a capture template for Waiting For items, examples: * Waiting For ** WAITING Dan the Book man send me an invoice [[mu4e:msgid:[email protected]][Re: Looking for great books of the western world]] [2022-02-25 Fri] ** RECEIVED Doct maintainer respond to my [[https://github.com/progfolio/doct/issues/33][support query]] [2022-02-27 Sun] ** RECEIVED Dok van Putten respond to my [[mu4e:msgid:[email protected]][request RE Covid booster shot]] [2022-02-25 Fri]

Org-lectures. Now this one, even though it shares quite a lot of elements with KLP (it was developed almost simultaneously) allows for the easy creation and management of courses and lectures files. By assigning a couple of keybindings and complementing it with a package like CDLatex or Yasnippets, a really fun workflow was created that allows me to take (in real time) lecture notes for my university courses.
