Hi I set up org-capture-templates like this:
(setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "TODO in ~/org/agenda.org -> Tasks" entry (file+headline "" "Tasks") "* TODO %?\n%^t\n%a"))) If I fire up C-c a a in ~/org/agenda.org, I'll see the entries created via C-c c. They are displayed in the foreground color. I am wondering if I should adjust the above template to insert the date as "SCHEDULED: <date>" instead of just <date>? Apparently, the string "SCHEDULED:" is not required for an entry to appear in agenda view. However, a difference I saw was that "SCHEDULED: <date>" entries appeard in a different color ( a light green on my black background). An advantage of using the shorter version is, that the string "Scheduled:" does not appear in agenda view which creates more space for the Todo's heading. Cheers, Marius
