Hi all,
Sorry for the self-reply, but after posting I expanded the parameters
of my google search, and thought a follow-up worthwhile.
I posted woes regarding #+ARCHIVE lines getting archived or left
behind. And I suggested a dummy headline to ameliorate the problem:
As I understand org-mode, this is a consequence of taking a subtree of
level n to continue until a headline of level m, m <= n occurs or EOF.
But, unless I am missing something, I don't see how the multiple
#+ARCHIVE lines technique can be made to work with this definition,
short of including dummy level 1 headlines in the file to `protect' the
#+ARCHIVE lines. (I mean something like inserting
* To make org happy
#+ARCHIVE: ./_testofarchiveARCHIVE.org::* Third
between * Second 2007 and * Third 2007.)
In a thread from 2007-03 started by
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2007-03/msg00084.html>
a similar problem was discussed regarding #+CATEGORY lines. Carsten
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2007-03/msg00089.html>
said that what I called `dummy' headlines was one of two possible
work-arounds he could see. What didn't come up was the suggestion I made:
It seems to me that a possible fix would be to look at the end of any
subtree that is being archived, and leave behind an #+ARCHIVE line (or
perhaps uninterrupted block of #+ lines) that terminates the tree being
archived.
Now I am curious as to if this is unworkable. Carsten, if it is, would
you mind briefly sketching why? (Time permitting, of course.)
Thanks and best,
Brian vdB
