even more extreme: ** TODO Phone people and invite them *** TODO invite aunt Minna *** TODO invite uncle Ernst *** TODO invite great uncle Karl Workflow: thinking of 25 guys to invite, phoning those guys, and then keeping track of who you did or did not reach. (Last actual use case for me was when doing homework, I've read the exercise, wrote a list of classes and methods while doing so, and then, when actually programming, it would have been nice to be able to check the finished stuff. Identical to the way I would have done it with pencil and paper.) > Interesting idea. I could make an option which would stop searching > for TODO in the subtree below a TODO entry. For the "invite example" above I wouldn't even like to give each one his own heading. (For those "checklets" I used C-u for not changing into heading). Nor would I want those subitems to be "prominent fontyfied" as TODOs are. Like for inviting a bunch of people I would consider just one TODO the most adequate way. Of course in most cases everything but splitting a TODO into smaller TODOs would be confusing and bloat. cheers, Frank -- IRRELIGION, n. The principal one of the great faiths of the world.
