Re: [O] Adding Easy Templates

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi Daniel,

you need to quote the entire form, i.e. the progn;

 (eval-after-load 'org
   '(progn
     (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                  '("m" "#+begin_src emacs-lisp\n?\n#+end_src"))
     (add-to-list 'org-structure-template-alist
                  '("j" 
"#+begin_quote\n||Dr|Cr|\n|-\n|?|$||\n|||$|\n#+end_quote"))))

This is because the entire form is stored for execution after loading org - but 
in your case it was
evaluated immediately...
