Now rolo file can insert things in any place, such as:

-------------------------------------------
*   Feng Shu
Can write like this
  Can write like this
    6/17/2016

*
Feng Shu
Can write like this
-------------------------------------------
 
What about add a minor mode, which limit input just like koutliner:

-------------------------------------------
*   Feng Shu
    Can write like this
    Can write like this
    6/17/2016
------------------------------------------

So basically, you want either a dynamic or batch validity checker to ensure
that all entries meet some minimum formatting standard.
That would be another library and the checks would like need to vary based
on the formats that someone used.  For the specific issue you mentioned, it
is easy enough to write a few line function or use a regular expression
search in a keyboard macro to find any errant entries.
As a result, I don't think this warrants any change in Hyperbole now and
will close this issue but we will keep it in mind as we evolve the Rolo and
thank you for the input.

Here is a function that you could use for your specific issue:

(defun outline-to-next-blank-entry ()
  (interactive)
  (outline-show-all)
  (if (re-search-forward "^\\(\\*+[ \t]*\\)$" nil t)
      (goto-char (match-end 1))
    (message "Any outline headlines following point are non-blank.")))
