Indeed. Thanks for the heads-up!
Added on main.

Fixed. Now the index entry points to Capture template elements section.

What is a "date tree"? (find manual unclear) [was: Re: Dates in headlines]

Reading this, I tried to find out what a date tree is.

The manual says (in 10.1.3.1):

   A date tree is an outline structure with years on the highest
   level, months or ISO weeks as sublevels and then dates on the
   lowest level.

which I don't understand.  Could I be provided with a simple example
of a date tree?

Also, in the manual, the 'Main index' has the entry:

   * date tree: Using capture.  

but, if I follow the link, I end up in 10.1.2, in a paragraph about
'M-x org-capture' and I don't see the relevance with date trees.

Regards.
