Re: [O] org-mode habit consistency graph not displaying

[Brenda Butler]

Thanks for this answer.

Unfortunately it didn't work for me.  But when I have more time I will
investigate further.  This gives me a hint as to what
(next-single-property-change (point-min) 'org-habit-p)) does and the
environment it assumes.

Re: [O] The power of '-'

[Brenda Butler]

I'm not super advanced in org-mode, so take what I have to say as
"non-authoritative", but:

I don't think you need any prefix on lines in your org-mode file.
Lines with some number of * are headers as you noted
Lines that start with a - make a list of items.

I'm not sure what you can do with lists ... but probably that has an effect
on formatting.
So you can have a paragraph (no prefix), then a list (list items start with
-) then another paragraph ...

I haven't tried to "export" my org files so I don't know how it would
look.  I just use the files as a todo/done list/database/thing.

Sounds like you might be using hard links instead of symbolic links ...
but first, are you using a unix-like system or another system?  The
symbolic link is a unix-like thing.

I tried a few times with different case in the keyword and in the value -
it seems both are case-sensitive and must match the item in the entries
exactly.  And the double-quotes around the value are required.

Now that I look back at your example, I see the search term should be

CATEGORY="Test"

But, on the prompt before you get to this one, it says:

m match a TAGS/PROP/TODO query

Try putting the value in double-quotes:

Match: Category="Test"
