A properties drawer makes a lot of sense to me in this situation. It would be great if Org Mode had its own mechanisms to specify 1) the level to which sections are numbered and 2) which headlines do not appear in the table of contents. The back-ends could respond to these in an appropriate way or not at all. All the best, Tom -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
