Hm, wait, that's not quite right. The beamer trees are in a separate file specifically because I did not want to push them onto my phone. So I'm not sure exactly what happened. There's a link in one of my org-agenda/mobile files to the top heading of the beamer file. I did do an org-mobile-push in the morning. But I just confirmed with a quick test that mobile-push does NOT greedily scan through any org buffers and add IDs to TODOs, schedules. So the errant :PROPERTIES: block (which I assume is the source of the extra :END:) didn't come from there... but it did come from somewhere. Ah... another dim memory... I copied this content out of a file that *is* pushed. Probably those headings acquired IDs when they were part of the other file, and I didn't delete the properties in the new file. But I still can't reproduce it with a simple file :( so I don't know quite what causes it, only that something screwy happened when storing a link to a heading that had already been property-ified. hjh -- James Harkins /// dewdrop world jamshar...@dewdrop-world.net http://www.dewdrop-world.net "Come said the Muse, Sing me a song no poet has yet chanted, Sing me the universal." -- Whitman blog: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/words audio clips: http://www.dewdrop-world.net/audio more audio: http://soundcloud.com/dewdrop_world/tracks
