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

Hi Marius,
the difference between <date> and SCHEDULED: <date> is that <date> will
cause the entry to appear in the agenda only on the given day, whereas
SCHEDULED: <date> will also cause the entry to be displayed on the
current day if it is scheduled in the past and has not been marked DONE yet.
To see what I mean, put the following entries into an agenda file:
* Test 1
SCHEDULED: <2011-11-05 Sat>
* DONE Test 2
SCHEDULED: <2011-11-05 Sat>
* Test 3
<2011-11-05 Sat>
Because Test 1 it is not marked done, if you refresh your agenda view
today, you will see something like this:
Sched. 2x: Test 1
Test 2 does not show up because it is marked DONE and Test 3 does not
show up because it does not contain the SCHEDULED keyword.
(Note that Test 1 will only show up on the agenda view for today and the
day it was scheduled for when you look at the agenda view for a day in
the past or future, for example by using the weekly or monthly view or
going forward/backward with the f and b keys.
For more information, please refer to Section 8.3, "Deadlines and
scheduling", in the Org manual.
Hope this helps,
Jan
