About half way through, at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/tracking-habits.php#sec-4, the author says "press tab to create a nice table that you can fill in". And that made me wonder... "why do I have to fill it in? Can't emacs do it for me when I indicate I've done a 'task'?" I confess, I don't know the answer, which is why I'm asking here :-P
