I've been doing a lot of exporting to various formats lately, testing out basic 
and CSL citations, and ran into a few bugs but not what you're showing.  And 
nothing about ODT was touched, IIRC. Could you try narrowing down to citations 
only, and commenting out one by one until it works?

strange error exporting to ascii

[Fraga, Eric]

Hello,

I am working on a paper which includes citations.  Exporting to LaTeX
and to ODT worked just fine.  For my sins, I now have to incorporate
changes made to the ODT version back into the org and I thought the best
way was to compare text versions (I did try using pandoc on the ODT
version to get an org version but too many differences).

So, long story short, I try to export the original document to ascii and
I get an error related to citations.  Having seen some updates to
exporting citations on the list over the past few weeks, I figured I
should upgrade org to the latest version.  Now exporting to LaTeX still
works just fine but exporting to ascii still does not work (with the
same error: see backtrace-ascii.txt attached) *and* exporting to ODT now
no longer works (see backtrace-odt.txt).

Any suggestions?  I have not tried emacs -Q because that is non-trivial
due to my configuration but will do so if nothing obvious jumps out to
anybody.

Thank you,
eric

For such tricky cases, yes. Either escape character or another suggested
approach with "empty" joiner entity like \--

This is surely the approach I'd like to go.

What if you find the temporary Org buffer where the error is thrown,
copy it to a new Org buffer in emacs -Q, and try M-: (org-collect-keywords 
'("BIND")) ?

DEADLINE is designed for tasks. Until DONE, entries with DEADLINE appear
in agenda as overdue. Is it what you generally want to see for tasks.

You can

1. Turn it into TODO and mark DONE once handled (when deadline has a
   repeater, marking birthday DONE will re-schedule it and flip the todo
   keyword back to TODO)

2. Just use timestamp like <2022-12-14 mer +1y> without DEADLINE. This
   will make the birthday appear on the day of birthday in your agenda.

track birthdays without having them constantly being in the agenda view

[Luca Ferrari]

Hi all,
I would like to switch to org-agenda to track birthdays, but if I
place a deadline with a +1y specifier, like:
DEADLINE: <2022-12-14 mer +1y>
the birthday pops in the agenda view even after it has passed. I'm
sure there is a simple trick to make it disappear once it has expired,
but I cannot figure how to do it.
Any suggestion?

Thanks,
Luca
