However, since DEADLINE: is so terribly important, I think that there should be a prominent warning in the manual that they are simply ignored if not positioned correctly. Warnings should appear, at the very least, in 8.1 and 8.3. Suggested wording: In 8.1: timestamp can appear anywhere in the headline or body of an Org tree entr UNLESS is is preceded by a keyword in which case it must be properly positioned or it will be ignored: see 8.3 for details. In 8.3: A timestamp may be preceded by special keywords to facilitate planning. WARNING: both the timestamp and the keyword are ignored if not positioned immediately following the headline. No space or other text is allowed. Regards, Alan > -- > The Kafka Pandemic: http://thekafkapandemic.blogspot.com > > The disease DOES progress. MANY people have died from it.
