I maintain some of my more complex capture templates in standalone files and reference the file in org-capture-templates
(setq org-capture-templates (quote (
("a" "Templates for Agile Results")
("af" "Friday Afternoon Weekly Close / Reflection"
entry
(file+datetree+prompt "~/Documents/OrgMaster/org/Agile_Results.org")
(file "~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/friday.reflection.org_template")
:jump-to-captured t :immediate-finish t))))
The file "~/.init/emacs/org-capture-templates/friday.reflection.org_template" contains:
#+begin_example
