Dear all,

could someone help me with this?

I'm tagging my projects using different tags:

- ordinary 'whatever' tags like MARS, 2013, ProjectX ...

- tags starting with ampersand: @Me, @John, @David

- tags starting with hash #SpecificBehaviour, #LocalModification

As you can see, the first item is generic, project related, and I need
to inherit those tags within the tree. The other two items are specific:
second is to tag person who is in charge of the todo, third is a
'non-generic' tag defining very specific activity. The two I need to
have always non-inherited.

I've learned that there is org-use-tag-inheritance, which can be setup
to a regular expression. I'm not very strong in this elisp thingy. Could
someone help me to construct the expression such, that all tags starting
with @ or # will be excluded from inheritance?

many thanks

.d.

Hi,

Try setting org-use-tag-inheritance to "^[@#]"

Yours,
Christian

Hi Christinan,
thanks for hint. That one i've tested as first. doing

(setq org-use-tag-inheritance "^[@#]")

surprisingly, it does not do the expected stuff and all @xxx tags are
still exported to the branches, where they are not supposed to be.

At the same time I've tested this:

  (setq org-tags-exclude-from-inheritance '(
"@Adrian" 	"@LiShu" 	"@Martin"))

and this one perfectly does the job when org-use-tag-inheritance is set
to true. Trouble with this one is, that @ is basically followed by a
name, and with every new name I have to for the moment manually add an
item into exclude ....

That should probably be

(setq org-use-tag-inheritance "^[^@#]")

(i.e. anything *not* starting with @ or #).

Untested.

Hei,

Oops, sorry, a circumflex too few. Try: "^[^@#]"

- matches only strings whose first character is not @ or #.

Yours,
Christian
