+<h3 class="subsection">3.1.4 Useful conventions</h3>
+
+
+<a name="index-conventions"></a>
+<a name="index-mknew"></a>
+
+<p>There are a number of conventions which can make notes-mode
+ easier to use.
+These conventions are a matter of personal taste,
+ of course.
+Do what works for you.
+</p>
+<p>First,
+ I find it helpful to keep the date of each notes-file at the top
+ of the file.
+This makes the file self-identifying
+ if the filename is lost.
+</p>
+<p>Second,
+ I find it useful to have the first entry of each file
+ have the same subject (perhaps &ldquo;Today&rdquo;).
+This entry then links all notes together,
+ making it easy to go to yesterday and tomorrow.
+I keep a to-do list on this entry,
+ bringing the list forward each day.
+<a name="index-Today"></a>
+</p>
+<p>A third useful convention is to keep an
+ entry with the name based on the day of the week
+ in each file.
+Analogous to &ldquo;Today&rdquo;, this entry links together
+ weeks.
+</p>
+<p>Notes-mode supports these conventions.
+When you make a new notes-file in emacs,
+ notes-mode searches for the preceding file.
+If it follows any of these conventions,
+ the new file is initialized appropriately.
+Currently
+ the approach to do this process
+ (in the program &lsquo;<tt>mknew</tt>&rsquo;)
+ is fairly sensitive,
+ so it may not work in all cases.
+In particular,
+ the date convention works only on
+ for English-language dates.
+(If you use notes-mode with a non-English language,
+ let me know and I&rsquo;ll work with you to fix this limitation.)
+</p>
+<p>If you find other helpful conventions,
+ please let me know.
+Modifications to &lsquo;<tt>mknew</tt>&rsquo; to implement
+ new conventions are also invited.
+</p>
+<p>If you don&rsquo;t want to use these conventions,
+ or if you want to use different ones,
+ set the emacs variable notes-mode-initialization-program
+ to nil or the name of your initialization program.

+<a name="index-o"></a>

+
+<p>Several aspects of notes mode are particularly visible
+ to the user.
+Because I&rsquo;m not a fascist,
+ a user can change most of these.
+</p>
+<p>Preferences are specified in &lsquo;<tt>~/.notesrc</tt>&rsquo;.
+This file lists things to change:
+</p>
+<table><tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td><pre class="example"># lines beginning with a hash are comments
+dir: ~/NOTES
+int_form: %Y%m
+</pre></td></tr></table>
+
+<p>Currently, two things can be changed:
+</p>
+<dl compact="compact">
+<dt> <code>dir</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Specifies the root of the notes directory hierarchy
+ (see section <a href="notes-mode_2.html#The-notes-directories">The notes directories</a>).
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt> <code>int_form</code></dt>
+<dd><p>Specifies the form of the intermediate directory.
+A limited subset of <code>strftime(3)</code>
+ formatting is allowed.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>The subset of <code>strftime(3)</code> supported in <code>int_form</code> is:
+</p><dl compact="compact">
+<dt> <code>%Y</code></dt>
+<dd><p>The four-digit year.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt> <code>%y</code></dt>
+<dd><p>The two-digit year.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt> <code>%m</code></dt>
+<dd><p>A two-digit numeric month.
+</p>
+</dd>
+<dt> <code>%d</code></dt>
+<dd><p>A two-digit day.
+</p></dd>
+</dl>
+
+<p>In addition to &lsquo;<tt>.notesrc</tt>&rsquo;,
+ there are a number of emacs-specific variables.
+These variables are documented in the file
+ &lsquo;<tt>notes-variables.el</tt>&rsquo;.
