I would guess that having text before the first headline is quite a
common pattern. Adding one is not that much work either. Does this
requirement is okay for you?
Yes, that's a fine answer. The only thing I would suggest is that
maybe it should go in the manual (in the section about outlines and
headlines) that most people put some text before the first headline.
Also, I think the documentation on column view could be improved. I
think you should start the section by saying how to activate it (go
to beginning of file and C-c C-x C-c). The summary given is currently:
C-c C-x C-c
Create the column view for the local environment. This command
searches the hierarchy, up from point, for a :COLUMNS: property that
defines a format. When one is found, the column view table is
established for the entire tree, starting from the entry that
contains the :COLUMNS: property. If none is found, the format is
taken from the #+COLUMNS line or from the variable org-columns-
default-format, and column view is established for the current entry
and its subtree.
I found this somewhat hard to understand (what is included by the
"local environment"? Which is the "entire tree"? Why did it only
create a column view for the headline I was on? Why is #+COLUMNS
different from the :COLUMNS: property?).
I have improved the documentation of `C-c C-x C-c'.
Thanks.
