Is there a way to have a TODO item in an org-file that is not in a
headline and that shows up in the agenda?
I have been using org-mode to write papers, and often in the middle of
a section I want to make a TODO item, right where something needs to
be done, and I do not want to make a new heading there as it changes
the overall organization (even though it is temporary and will be
removed). Something like this would be great:
#+TODO: finish this section DEADLINE: <2012-12-14 Fri>
At the moment I can search for these lines, but it would be nice if
they showed up in the agenda. Is there any way to do this that I am
overlooking?
Thanks,
j
Here is a simple usage for example.
* introduction
Lots of text. blah blah
#+TODO: finish this section DEADLINE: <2012-12-14 Fri>
end of introductory text that is still in the introduction section.
* Methods
yadayadaya.
** TODO I do not like this because subsequent text is in a subsection
we used this method to do that.
* Conclusions
The end.
John

Hi
Look for inline tasks:

headlines
Does this help?
Never used them, but always wanted to...
Cheers,
