* Do you like to have your TODOs at the same headline level? @ 2015-08-25 19:54 William Denton 2015-08-26 10:31 ` Sebastien Vauban 0 siblings, 1 reply; 5+ messages in thread From: William Denton @ 2015-08-25 19:54 UTC (permalink / raw) To: emacs-orgmode [-- Attachment #1: Type: TEXT/PLAIN, Size: 486 bytes --] I'm trying to spend more time in a sparse tree view where I just see TODOs (C-c / t). I didn't like having the TODOs at different levels of indentation, though. I prefer seeing them all lined up, so I moved them all to be fourth-level headline. It's visually pleasing, and I don't care if a second-level headline has a fourth-level child without a third-level one. Do other people do this?

It would be logical to expect problems at export time (to LaTeX, among others) and in Org-lint. I try to put all the tasks at the 2nd level, the 1st level being reserved for big sections such as "Administration", "Tasks", "Team", etc. I'm very rigorous about expecting that all my "project management" documents can be exported (without loosing subtrees or generating error) to HTML (as the very first goal) and to LaTeX (as the second one). OTOH, I don't deny your wish to get things aligned; that's why I've opted to 4-char todo states only! Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread

How about a list? I can't picture how to > abbreviate some things... Sure. Here it is: - TODO :: Open, not (yet) started. - STRT :: In progress, working on, doing. - WAIT :: On hold, assigned, feedback. - SDAY :: Someday, maybe, perhaps, wish. - DONE :: Completed, closed, resolved. - CANX :: Wontfix, rejected. The only exception, but that's on purpose is "NEW" for things going to the CollectBox. Best regards, Seb -- Sebastien Vauban ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 5+ messages in thread
