Sparse-tree at cursor point

Sparse-tree at cursor point

Hello list,

The sparse-tree feature is very useful when you want to follow tasks of a
specific project, and want to filter the whole org file to show only the
relevant project tree. However, I did not find a way to apply this function
to a specific tree at the cursor point. Sometimes, I want to act by project,
and I know exactly where it is in the file, and I want to apply the sparse
tree at this item, instead of searching by regexp, todo, etc. Is it
possible?

Thanks!

Marcelo.

I'm not sure I understand exactly what it is you're looking for.  If you
want to limit the sparse tree function to a subtree you can narrow to
subtree first (C-x n s), run the spare tree function, and then widen
again (C-x n w).

You can hide the rest of your document with M-x hide-other.

Does any of that help?

Yes, that is possible by narrowing to the subtree.
While on the heading for the subtree you want to apply the sparse tree
function on press:
C-x n s     (to narrow to the subtree)
C-c /
C-x n w     (to widen the view to the whole file)

Thanks again and a comment: What I wanted was just to hide the rest of the
file to help of focusing on the item at hand (project in this case). The C-x
n s does the job in this case (with C x n w to get back to the full view).

Marcelo.
