Subject: things I don't understand about tables
Date: Mon, 12 Nov 2012 18:34:11 -0500 (EST)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.01.1211121828300.55086@freire1.furyyjbeyq.arg> (raw)

Why is it when I try putting a date in this table using the calendar I get 
no date entered when in a blank field and hear the message:
Before first headline at position 376 in buffer medlog.org

| date             | sugar   | weight   | cystalic   | diastalic   | exercise   | notes                                    |
|------------------+---------+----------+------------+-------------+------------+------------------------------------------|
| 18>              | <7>     | <8>      | <10>       | <11>        | <10>       | <40>                                     |
|                  |         |          |            |             |            |                                          |
|                  |         |          |            |             |            |                                          |
|                  |         |          |            |             |            |                                          |


I almost need two separate tables one with dates and notes and the other 
with dates and other fields but would need to link both tables on the date 
field.
When I tried reading what I wrote in an earlier version of this table, all 
I could find on the screen was dollar signs.  Lines went beyond emacs line 
width so I'll need to find out how to have amacs shut off the dollar sign 
display and show content instead if I can get the rest of this figured 
out.
