Basically, I'd put in short descriptions of tasks, and then would use clocking capabilities of org-mode to remember time spent on each task. Then, I'd like to create a table with date, task description, and time spent columns, and have this table, together with some simple text before ("company", "contractor", "hourly rate", etc.) and after ("total working hours", "total amount") the table exported to LaTeX (so that I could generate HTML). So I tried going with some clocked TODO tasks, and then using clocktable, but there are many things to tweak in order to have generated LaTeX to my needs (first of all, I need the table only in the exported file, etc. - and I'm not yet that good in org-mode to be able to adjust all of this). Thus I'm wondering is anyone else using org-mode for something alike, and eventually willing to share own setup? Or maybe I just should use org-mode table functionality for something that simple? Also, related question: is it possible to somehow specify (on per-file basis, eventually) that, when clocking in org-mode, the time written get rounded to nearest 15 min. interval? Thanks.
