[O] Mixing org-mode tables with outlining?
Hi, I am planning to record some ideas in org-mode, and I would love to be able to set it out as follows: * Ideas ** | Idea | A property | A property | *** Regular outlined notes Some notes *** More sub notes ** | Idea 2 | Property | Property | Is there any way for me to do this? Essentially it would function like a table until you tab down into it. I think this would be FANTASTIC! Thanks, Chris
Re: [O] Mixing org-mode tables with outlining?
Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely consider that. What do you mean by: 'For one thing, you won't be able to do advanced searching for tag/property combinations, gather those properties into a column view or dynamic block (for that you want regular Org properties). Nor easily access them from a spreadsheet or source code elsewhere in the document (for that you want a named table).'

Thanks, Chris Well, nothing prevents you from dividing up a heading with pipe characters, if you like the way it looks. It doesn't function like a table, but what table functionality is it that you want to use here? For one thing, you won't be able to do advanced searching for tag/property combinations, gather those properties into a column view or dynamic block (for that you want regular Org properties). Nor easily access them from a spreadsheet or source code elsewhere in the document (for that you want a named table). I suggest you rather consider tags and regular Org properties. * Idea :A_Property:Another_Property: * Idea :PROPERTIES: :A_Property: value :Another_Property: value2 :END: Yours, Christian
Re: [O] Mixing org-mode tables with outlining?
This is a great idea! I think I may well end up using this. Would it still be possible to do calculations within the heading? Eg once I have filled in all my headings and properties, how could I make the value of the last property for each heading equal to the average of the previous 3 columns?

[Orgmode] Org-for GTD: Some implementation questions
Hi, I am currently using Org-mode to apply GTD I was wondering what you would do with the following situations: My todo sequence is next - done, and someday, delegate - waiting, cancelled - For scheduled tasks, would you make these tasks NEXTs or would you set them as waiting? If NEXTs, how would you filter the agenda to not show these scheduled NEXTs? - For a heading with three subtasks, if the last 2 subtasks require the first subtask to be completed, how would you handle this? Thanks and I look forward to your response ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
[Orgmode] Bug: Linum-mode + org-indent-mode gives strange graphical refresh bugs [7.4 (release_7.4.41.g96c70)]
Note: run using emacs -q as the bug was reproducible, and this will produce less settings that may complicate the report. Note: only a few months of unix and emacs usage When using org-indent-mode and linum-mode simultaneously, clicking on any line in an org-mode file will cause the cursor and text on the line to quickly shift back a few spaces, and the line number for that line to disappear, and then after a fraction of a second it will return to normal. Other issues: without linum-mode enabled, and with org-indent-mode, clicking on a line that has a link will cause the underline from the link to extend to the left margin temporarily, similar to the bug described above - however the text does not shift to the left like the previous situation.
