Thanks for the pointer, Bastien. This looks like a fine way to do
things.
I've been able to "capture" the columnview into another .org file and
then export that to an HTML file. Is there a way to automate these
three steps?
Notes on what I did so far follow.
In a "notes.org":
* Document status
:PROPERTIES:
:COLUMNS: %25ITEM(Section) %25Responsible %3Received{X} %3Converted{X} %3Editing{X} %3Frozen{X}
:Responsible_ALL: Person1 Person2 Person3
:Received_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Converted_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Editing_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:Frozen_ALL: "[ ]" "[X]"
:ID: document-status
:END:
** Section 1
*** Subsection 1.1
:PROPERTIES:
:Responsible: Person1
:Received: [X]
:Converted: [ ]
:END:
Etc for other sections. Hints:
- only need to add properties in sub (or subsub, etc) sections where
they are strictly needed. Parents inherit from children
- don't actually edit :PROPERTIES: by hand instead do C-c C-x C-c to
turn on columns and "e" in a cell to edit it with values from the
list of possible ones in the *_ALL and/or do C-c C-c to toggle values
I shall look into adding numerical values to get %-done type columns.
Then for presentation. As per
http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html
To make presentation with just this tree of info make another file
"status.org" with:
* Status
#+BEGIN: columnview :vlines t :hlines 1 :id "document-status"
#+END:
Go to "BEGIN" and hit C-c C-c and a table will be inserted. Then a
normal export to HTML can be done.
-Brett.
