I sent this email yesterday but I'm sending it again because it seems it did
not go through - I'm sorry if this is a duplicate message.
I found that skip-empty-rows works correctly only if ITEM is in the COLUMNS
property. Here is an ECM :). As you can see, when ITEM is not included in
COLUMNS property, it generates an empty line for the parent heading.*
Columnview with ITEM in columns:PROPERTIES::COLUMNS: %ITEM %Variable:END:-
This correctly skips the parent headline because ITEM is one of the
columns#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :maxlevel 2 :skip-empty-rows t|
ITEM | Variable ||-----------------+----------|| ** Subheading 1 |
1 || ** Subheading 2 | 2 |#+END** Subheading 1:PROPERTIES::Name:
Subheading 1:Variable: 1:END:** Subheading 2:PROPERTIES::Name: Subheading
2:Variable: 2:END:* Columnview without ITEM in columns:PROPERTIES::COLUMNS:
%Name %Variable:END:- When ITEM is not in columns, columnview generates one
empty line on the top:#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id local :maxlevel 2
:skip-empty-rows t| Name | Variable ||--------------+----------||
| || Subheading 1 | 1 || Subheading 2 | 2
|#+END** Subheading 1:PROPERTIES::Name: Subheading 1:Variable: 1:END:**
Subheading 2:PROPERTIES::Name: Subheading 2:Variable: 2:END:
