As I mentioned yesterday, I am trying to follow
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php
I have the following entry:
** TODO Go to the gym :habit:
SCHEDULED: <2010-03-24 Wed .+2d>
and even managed to successfully go to the gym as planned :) However,
I couldn't update the status until today (the day after I completed
the task), so when I updated the status with C-c C-t it added the
next occurence two days from *today*. It might not always be the way
that I update the status a day after, sometimes it might be the same
day, or two days after, or whatever. Is there a way, short of
manually editing the file, of taking care of that? I know it's
because of the "." in the .+2d but given that sometimes I won't do it
on the planned date, I think it's best to have that in there - or is
there a better solution for when I miss the planned date?

I think it works as you want if you just drop the .
> SCHEDULED: <2010-03-24 Wed +2d>
.+2d is 2 days from today
+2d is 2 days later
++2d repeat 2 days later until the date is after today
I think all of these formats work with habits.
HTH,

If this is really the case, I think the manual should be modified to
reflect this:
,----[ (info "(org)Tracking your habits") ]
| 5. The TODO may also have minimum and maximum ranges specified by
| using the syntax `.+2d/3d', which says that you want to do the
| task at least every three days, but at most every two days.
`----
The whole page gave me the impression that the .-syntax is the only one
supported.

It seemed to work for me but I didn't test it extensively.

Right. That refers to org-habit.el from version 6.32
(http://orgmode.org/Changes.html#sec-3.2). I was following
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php
as I am using an earlier version. Sorry if that wasn't clear.
