lthough you type the "** Something"
at the left margin, it gets indented as text under a heading should be
which messes up the heading interpretation.

But, the Org part should, at least, point to the documentation of the

How does Org position the Tags on the Header line when it reads in an

that can actually cause the file to be viewed as "changed" by the change
