I use org for this (obviously ;-). So far, so good. I would like to move to a system in which all the actions are numbered sequentially. At present, they are numbered sequentially within a list for each meeting. I would like to have a single list which grows over time. However, when I distribute the minutes of the latest meeting, I would like to only have those actions which are not yet complete listed in the document I circulate. The complication is that I want those actions that have actually been done still in the list but not exported. Is there any way to /comment/ out individual list items (whether bullet or enumerated) on export? I export typically to latex but this need not be a constraint. Simply putting [ ] versus [X] boxes on the items is not satisfactory as the list would be very long if all items were included in the export. Is there some hook that I can intercept that would enable this? Can I encapsulate individual list items into latex macros with the status of the [ ] or [X] boxes? I am more than happy to write latex code as required! Or even, at a push, elisp code...
