In my "organiser" page I have a mixed bag of TODO lists and also
checkbox lists. If I have at the top of the page "#+STARTUP: content"
it opens just showing all of the TODO lists and none of the checkbox
lists. But if I have "#+STARTUP: showall" it shows everything,
including all the hidden dates on the TODOs.

How can I get it to just show all the TODOs and all of the
checkboxes please?

I've looked at the "org manual" and I don’t think its possible, but I
could be wrong. Am I?

Thanks
Sharon.
