I may miss something, but it does not look [for me] any more specific in comparison with headline format: - headline :: "^\*+ .+$" - first line of note :: "^[ \t]*-.+\\\\$" Body of the note can be extracted using existing item parser (removing the first line). >> The <note heading> is taken from `org-log-note-headings'. > > This is configurable, which is not a good idea for any new syntax. Agree. The syntax may allow arbitrary first line instead of limiting it to `org-log-note-headings'. Though `org-log-note-headings' can still be used to define special types of notes - not a part of syntax, but for org-mode functionality in Emacs.
