Hi,

I wonder where an subtree ends. My work flow is as follow:
* headline
  some text... 

Know I notice a ToDo entry that is link to the text. So i type

** ToDo something useful
   notes about the ToDo

  ... more about the headline.
  
My problem is, that '... more about the headline' is hidden, when the
ToDo entry is folded. It belongs syntactically to ToDo, but semantically
to the headline. 

Is there an <end> Tag or something like that? Where i can say: Here Ends
the ToDo entry, what comes now belong to the last headline?

Any Idea? Or a hint, how i can use org-mode another, better way? 

Greetings

This appears to be the situation with Calendar and also 
surprisingly with Diary. 

Somewhere on the Emacs Wiki it suggests; no space between lines, 
and also to begin each new line with a dash -    Such as; 
- item 1 
- another note 
- some more. 

For me, for Diary in particular, it would be good to be able to block 
longer text together, and even perhpaps paragraph. I suppose it 
becomes less of an itemized work diary at that stage, and more of 
a rambling personal type, which suggests a separate or 2nd diary file 
altogether should be used.   

What do others think.

Is it just me who cannot make out what either of these posters is  
trying to say?

Org mode believe that ... more about the headline is inside
** ToDo something useful
I know no way to change this: you must put every text that is only in
"* headline" and not in the "** ToDo" subtree before any subtree

Add your todo at the end of the headline? 
put a "** rest of the headline" subtree after the todo ?

I believe I understand what Franz Heuser wanted. I've no idea what Adam's
response really mean.

OK, now I understand.

Yes, this is correct, you cannot end a sublevvel task and add more  
text that belongs to the top level tasks.  Org-mode documents are  
structured like a book.

You might wan to check out a special hack we have for this situation:

org-inlinetask.el, distributed with Org.
