Re: Continuation of main section text after subsections

["Colin Fraizer" <orgmode@cfraizer.com>]

Was there ever a conclusion from this discussion?

I think I want something very similar to what Mr. van der Boom requested. I have outlines that contain varying amounts of text (paragraphs) and then, to avoid forgetting some task, I add a TODO item somewhere in the middle. That TODO item absorbs all the text following it until the next headline at the same or higher level.

For example, if I have an outline like

--------------
* Section 1
* Section 2
Paragraph 1
:
:
Paragraph 10
* Section 3
---------------

If I insert a TODO item after paragraph 3 and then collapse the outline, it hides paragraphs 4-10 as if they were part of that TODO item, even if they are unrelated.

I understand that this is not "proper" outline structure, but I was under the impression many people used org-mode for outlining /and/ for TODOs. ;-)

Syntax like "** END" to end the TODO (or other subtree) would, I think, do what I want. Based on my cursory look at it, I imagine one could simply change org-end-of-subtree to treat "^** END" specially (where the number of stars is the level). Normally, it would end with point at the beginning of the line "^** END" (treating as the next headline at the same or higher level) and return that as end of the tree.. However, I'd like for it to put point at the beginning of the line following that "fake" headline.

Then, you could suppress export of "^\\*+ END$".

I don't really see a reason not to do this, but perhaps I'm naively overlooking a big problem.

I really am not (yet?) convinced by the need -- as I don't really see how it fits in LaTeX/HTML.

However, just to answer one detail point, would such a new tag globally exist, it would have to be :ignoreheading: (it does already exist in Org-Beamer for "anonym" columns).

Best regards,
