I have an org-mode file that I am using to log what I do at work. It
comes in very handy for my weekly and monthly reports. The basic
structure is like:

* 2007
** Dec
*** Tuesday 18
**** What I did #1
**** What I did #2

I recently started using remember with org-mode.  Love it.

However, is it possible to setup an org-remember-template for entering
these items? I tried something like:

(setq org-remember-templates '((?l "**** %?" "path-to/worklog.org" "*** %t")))

Obviously %t isn't going to give me 'Tuesday 18'.  But it was a first
attempt.  What I didn't expect was a literal org-mode node named "%t".

Is what I am trying even possible with the current org-remember-templates?

That's not much different than what I tried before posting the original e-mail.

I would like to be able to control the format of the date that is
inserted.  Furthermore, I would like to be able to specify a hierarchy
that the entry should exist in and create it if it does not.
Using the org-mode snippet above, I would like "** Dec" to be created
if it does not exist and so on up the hierarchy.

Does that clarify what I am looking for?

If you want to insert timestamps in templates other than those inserted
by %t and %T, you can use the %(sexp) format:

   %(format-time-string "%d/%m/%Y/")

Replace "%d/%m/%Y" by your format.

HTH,
