[Orgmode] How to match items with tags and special todo keyword
Hi, I like to create an agenda view of all items that have a specific tag and also a specific TODO keyword. I've tried with C-c a M but this retrieves all TODO items that are not DONE but I would like to match only a specific TODO keyword (I've defined my own TODO categories with +SEQ_TODO) Many thanks for any help Tomas Bar ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] How to turn off highlighting of headers matching tag search (Newbie)
Hi, I've done a search on tags appearing in my orgmode document. The relevant headers then appear highlighted in yellow in my document. How can I turn this highlighting off?

[Orgmode] Re: Tagging a region of text without creating a branch
Thanks very much for your reply and your help. I also think in terms of containers, but I was trying to figure out if it is possible to have a container that has both subcontainers and content that is not contained in a subcontainer. For instance, in XML, this is the notion of an element with 'mixed content'(subelements+character content). For example: item1 priority='A' general stuff about item1 subItem1 about subItem1 /subItem1 more general stuff about item1 /item1 I suppose, this kind of structure is not possible in orgmode? you'd have to create 'artificial' subheadings: * item1 [#A] ** general stuff item1 general stuff about item1 **subItem1 about subItem1 ** general stuff item1 more general stuff about item1 So, a container in orgmode can have either subcontainers or text but not a mixture of both? Is this right? Thanks also for the tip about freex. it looks interesting, pity its not compatible with orgmode. I'll have a look at inline tasks as you suggest.

I don't have a problem with a creating a heading but what I find sometimes inconvenient is that implicitely everything that comes after the created headingis in it's scope until the next heading. I mean, don't you ever come across a situation like the following? * idea1 Notes about idea1 More notes about idea1 still more about idea1 IMO, this is precisely the strength of outlines. You can create subheadings to organize/categorize your thoughts. But perhaps I still misunderstand what you are trying to do? I like to think of org outline headings as data containers or database records. You attach metadata (tags, todos, properties, etc.) to the container. and you'd like to tag the second line (and only second line with :tellSueAboutIt:). If I understand correctly the only way to do this with headings is: * idea1 Notes about idea1 ** :tellSueAboutIt: More notes about idea1 ** :DontTellSueAboutIt: still more about idea1 This is very cumbersome and conceptually confusing.z It would be really convenient to sometimes be able to tag an internal region. Someone mentioned inline tasks. Is this possible with inline tasks? Yes. As Bernt suggested, I think inline tasks would achieve your ends very well here. Inline tasks act like normal headlines for the purposes of the agenda --- i.e., they will appear in your searches. But they will not be exported. Neither will they open with other headlines during cycling. You can create inline tasks by creating really deep outline headlings (I believe the default is 15). Here's an example: * idea1 Notes about idea1 * *** An inline task :tellSueAboutIt: More notes about idea1 * *** Another inline task :DontTellSueAboutIt: still more about idea1 See the variables org-inlinetask-export and org-inlinetask-min-level. BTW, There is a mode (freex-mode) that uses pymacs and an external database to enable tagging of selected nuggets of text. But I don't believe that it works with org-mode. I you don't mind the external dependencies, you might want to check it out. http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs/FreexMode Hope this helps!

Is this right? To be exact, a heading (container) can have both text and subheadings (subcontainers), but the subheadings have to follow the text. You can't close a subheading and go back to the previous outline level without a new heading. I guess, that is a limitation of org-mode (inherited from outline-mode) you have to deal with.

[Orgmode] Tagging a region of text without creating a branch
Hi, Is it possible to tag a region of text without creating a new branch? I mean, for instance, if I have the following orgmode document structure: * item1 this is about item 1 bla bla more about item1 I'd like to give a tag to the bit 'bla bla', but the scope of the tag should not include 'more about item 1'; however if I do this: * item1 this is about item 1 ** subitem1 :urgent: bla bla more about item1 'more about item1' is now in the scope of the tag :urgent: which is not what I want (I'd like it be directly under the first level item1) I mean, more generally, is it possible to tag an 'island' of text within the content of a certain branch?

Re: [Orgmode] Setting timestamp format to English
Hi, Many thanks for your reply. How could I change the format-time string variable in my .emacs file?

I've the italian version of windows XP, I get the timestamp in italian ;-) I'd like to get it in english. As a workaround, for org files, you can change the *format* of the date having the *appearance* of the English date. Please have a look at the variable org-time-stamp-custom-formats C-h v org-time-stamp-custom-formats In a file I have: #Local Variables: #org-time-stamp-custom-formats : (%d/%m/%Y . %d/%m/%Y %a %H:%M) #End: [2009-09-02 mer] becomes [02/09/2009] Nice, but you can only change the date day by day and the format will *not* be exported.
