org-mode entering dates

org-mode entering dates

[Jude DaShiell]

As opposed to time stamps, I tried +0d and wanted to have org-mode 
substitute today's date in a field and that didn't work.  For what I'm 
doing I want to have one date per line/record and two separate times which 
happen on that date.  What is the correct way to have org-mode place only 
today's date in a field without the time?  I have no problem with the 
weekday being part of that date either.

I found control-c followed by (.) makes a date in agenda entry form, would 
c-u+c-c+. do a date with brackets around it rather than inequality signs?  
If so, that's what I need.

C-! creates an inactive timestamp with angle brackets.

Hi Jude,

C-c . does active timestamps and
C-c ! does inactive timestamps

If you mean like this

then you need C-c !  which is bound to org-time-stamp-inactive.
