I don't use #+CATEGORY: anymore. I use properties. I define the top level task with a specific category and all subtasks inherit the same property (and therefore are in the same category unless otherwise specified) The following are from my todo.org file: * Tasks :newtask: :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Tasks :ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Miscellaneous :END: * Anniversaries and Holidays :notaproject: *** Birthdays :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Birthday :END: * Appointments :notaproject: :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Appt :ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Appointments :END: * Basement :@home: :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Basement :ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Basement :END: * Health :@home: :PROPERTIES: :CATEGORY: Health :ARCHIVE: %s_archive::* Health :END: The :PROPERTIES:...:END: is normally folded and is not exported (if you export your org files) HTH, Bernt _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
