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.

Added on main. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=eece396db88e5793c994825fcb1f75d13091ee5c > 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. Fixed. Now the index entry points to Capture template elements section. https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=9ef449224bc532f5cb2d0bc95cce0bb4a43c73bf -- Ihor Radchenko // yantar92, Org mode contributor, Learn more about Org mode at <https://orgmode.org/>.
