Wow, thank you Stephen.
1) there is a problem with the parens, the defun stops at the last format
2) I was expecting (wrongly) that the (write-region (dailyIndex) nil
"~/Desktop/index.html") expression would use the default value I had set. So
instead I'm calling (write-region todayTemplate nil "~/Desktop/index.html") and
that seems to work.
Thank you again. I spent a whole day putting all this together. That was quite
an education. I'm glad there are sites like stackoverflow and the like because
only with the elisp reference I was totally lost.
For ex, the description of (interactive) is absolutely not clear at all when
you want a default value for code characters that do not include one,
similarly, I was not at all considering (write-region) to get the result on a
file...
But I'm glad I'm finishing the day with something that works.
