Below the headline, after the properties.

They do, although there are org- versions of most (all?) of them that
you should use, since they consistently use ISO8601 date order,
unlike the diary functions. The manual is a bit lacking in this area,
I think.

Itʼs triggered by the %%(, I believe, but not in headlines. You can
use them in timestamps as well, which is useful for weird time periods
** Just before midnight on a few days 23:00-24:00
