Format for a note

Format for a note

[Nick Bell]

I have just started to use 'z' to add a note from agenda. I'd like to 
change the format of the added note to [the_date] the_note (i.e. remove 
the \\newline after the date which currently appears.

I've looked everywhere but can't find out how to do this. Is it possible?

Many thanks

Nick

I believe you can change the content of the header line using the
variable org-log-note-headings, but as far as I can tell the format

- header \\ 
  note 

is hardcoded into the function. The "\\" ensures a line break during
export. I appreciate this behavior because it guarantees a clean,
consistent list of notes, regardless of whether they are created with
"z" or via org's automatic logging functions.

Best,
