Hi all,
I'm sure I'm just being thick here, but any help would be appreciated...
I want to call org-map-entries in a way that calls a function at each
*child* of the current tree, but not at the current tree itself. That
is, for some function f, if my Org file looks like this:
* Paper 1
** Student 1
** Student 2
...
I want to call f at "Student 1", "Student 2", etc. but not at "Paper 1".
But if point is positioned at "Paper 1", then
(org-map-entries 'f nil 'tree)
first calls f at the "Paper 1" entry, not the "Student 1" entry. How
can I apply f just to the *children* of "Paper 1"?
(The reason I need to do this is that f needs to enforce that each of
the children has a value for a certain property, but the parent entry
should not have this property.)
Thanks!
Richard

You can simply add
(setq org-map-continue-from (outline-next-heading))
at the very beginning of your `f' function.

Ah, very good. Thanks so much!
