Hi all,
one of the things I most frequently use in org-mode are checkboxes. But
there's something I haven't figured out yet. Let's say I have a TODO entry
with some checkboxes like this:
* TODO fry egg [3/5]
1. [X] get a pan
2. [X] put some olive oil in pan
3. [X] heat pan
4. [ ] crack egg into pan
5. [ ] wait until ready
Here everything's fine. Now I change the "TODO" to, say, "IN PROGRESS",
whereby I automatically get a "State" line, which I do want to have,
like this:
* IN PROGRESS fry egg [3/5]
- State "IN PROGRESS" from "TODO" [2010-12-16 Thu 16:48]
1. [X] get a pan
2. [X] put some olive oil in pan
3. [X] heat pan
4. [ ] crack egg into pan
5. [ ] wait until ready
But if I now want to insert a new step "5. [ ] salt egg" with
"M-S-Enter", then I get a "1" before "- State ..." and I get two entries
with number "5." and an error beep. Also, trying to change the order of
the steps with "M-Up"/"M-Down" produces similar unwanted results. So the
presence of the "- State ..." line messes everything up.
Any ideas?
I'm using org-mode version 7.01h under GNU emacs 23.2.1.
Thank you.

You can put the state note into a drawer. Check out the variable
org-log-into-drawer.

Hi, John. That's great. Not only does it solve the problem, it
makes things look tidier, too. Thank you.
