+Entry types
+-----------
+This applications, as well as [jtx Board](https://jtx.techbee.at/), distinguishes among three entry types.
+
+**Notes** are VJOURNAL entries without dates. Here is an example of a note:
+```md
+# Related research
+> research
+
+Lorem ipsum
+```
+
+**Journal** entries are notes associated to a date (typically to _today_). An example of a journal entry is:
+```md
+::: |> today <!-- specify the date for journal entries -->
+# Alignment for Bell experiment
+> lab
+
+Lorem ipsum
+```
+
+**Tasks** are VTODO entries with an optional due date. An example of a task _with_ a due date is:
+```md
+::: <| next Sunday
+# Finish manuscript
+> research
+```
+Another example of a task _without_ due date is
+```md
+::: <|
+# Acquire Epist. Lett
+> research
+```
