I have been re-reading this message and thought about the following:
I guess you know that there is a limited number of outline levels that
are exported as structural headings. Any deeper levels are exported as
lists:
* This is a main section
** And this a subsection
***** But these five stars will become a list item
***** ACTION So here we have a list item as an action
One problem is that I am enforcing a line break after the
first line upon export of these headline-to-list-converted items.
However, I did this such a long time ago that I don't really remember
why
I did that. So we could remove this convention, or make it
configurable,
either with a variable, or with a special cookie, like "~" or "@"
at the line end.
That would not yet solve the problem with M-q for filling
paragraphs. Fixing that gets into conflict with tags and stuff like
that.
However, this concerns only the Org-mode representation of the item,
not the distributed HTML version.
While this still does not address what Bastien has wanted for a long
time (a way to inline a task), it seems to me that it does go some
way to fix the issue you describe.
