Hi, I would like to do have several dynamic blocks, that each works for a specific tag and captures a time-summing column view on the sparse tree of the file matching the current tag.
In other words, I would like to write something like this: #+BEGIN: columnview :id global :width t :skip-empty-rows t :contents "%45ITEM %10Time{:}" :match TAG1 #+END #+BEGIN: columnview :id global :width t :skip-empty-rows t :contents "%45ITEM %10Time{:}" :match TAG2 #+END What is the right way to do this in org-mode? I have been looking in the documentation and FAQ, but I did not get anywhere. Background: I am currently designing two university courses that cover roughly the same topics. I would like to do the topic selection, time estimation (time needed for a topic in class, time to solve an exercise) and scheduling (which topic/exercise/..) to do in which class/week in one org-mode file that has as the main tree a topic tree. My idea was to have tags to identify topics I would do in a certain course, and a family of tags (like courseA_a, courseA_b) to tag things I would do in a certain lecture. Now I could (with the above constructs) extract the topics and time-estimates for the two different courses, and even for the single lectures of each course, or the single weeks of assigned homeworks for the different courses. Is this a reasonable setup? Any comment or help is appreciated. Riko -- Riko Jacob rja...@inf.ethz.ch http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/rjacob/
