This is why TODO items are introduced the way they are.
You said that you have been confused by this, so maybe it
is not the right way after all. Any proposals on how to
address this in the docs?
Maybe just call todo items 'Tasks' and their current state is 'TODO',
'DONE', etc ?
Good idea. Here is a list of possible conventions for the manual:
- use "keyword" for TODO keyword
- use "tasks" for entries that have a keyword
- use "entries" for other entries (or entries "in general")
- use "heading" when referring to the entry as "outline-able"
- use "headline" in the context of exporting/publishing
Maybe some typesetting conventions wouldn't hurt, too:
- use uppercase for KEYWORD
- use uppercase for drawers and special PROPERTIES
- capitalized the first letter for user-defined properties
- use lower-case for tags
Maybe this would help make the examples even more clearer. This is
especially crucial when if comes to complex agenda searches.
What do you think?
This sounds like exactly how things should be......
One possible hickup: In a GTD setting, an entry becomes a task by
attaching a context, so possibly without a TODO keyword.
