I use Emacs Org mode to deal with my daily staffs. Now I use Emacs to manage some research papers. When reading the papers, I would like to take some notes as the following using the shortcut key C-c C-z or only z in the Agenda View.
When taking a new note it looks like this:
However, after completing the note taking with C-c C-c, the note is stored in the LOGBOOK under where it was taken:
The first problem is that the note itself is not highlight. The second problem is that, if I would like to revise this note, I do not know how to display it as when it was taken(just as in the first picture above, in a new buffer with highlight). It seems that I could only revise this note under the "Note taken on ..." line with no highlight plain text.
However, I am not pleased with this editing method since it should be as the same as the first picture, i.e., when the note was first created.
Thanks for your attention and help.
In addition to using subtasks (as discussed in the comments underneath the initial question in this thread), here is an alternative approach that places the notes at the tail end of a task without any blank lines between sentences. The stock org-mode has the ability to handle this -- i.e., no modifications are required (other than keywords and priority settings)
