Sorry to correct you, but the result is correct. As Carsten said:
The :CATEGORY: property applies to the entry headline _above_ it,
and to
the entire tree below it
So in your example
* Teaching
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Teaching
:END:
** Sanskrit I (WS08) :PROJECT:
:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Sanscrit I
:END:
the ":CATEGORY: Sanscrit I" applies to the entry _above_, i.e.
** Sanskrit I (WS08)
and the ":CATEGORY: Teaching" is overridden. The TODO
entries in your file are _below_ ":CATEGORY: Sanscrit I"
so they will show up fine.
Think of the PROPERTIES as an attribute of the entry above.
Ok, I understand now. Thanks for explaining.
What I want to do seems quite simple and natural to me. What would be
the org-way to get my desired output? Can I use two different property
keywords, one for areas and one for projects? How do other people do
it?
There are three ways to do what you want.
1. Put a CATEGORY property into every child of "Sanscrit I"
2. Work around it with a "Teach/Sanscrit I" category
2. Change what you *want* by realizing that it is actually a good
convention what we have right now.
