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?
