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. - Carsten > > > > _______________________________________________ > Emacs-orgmode mailing list > Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. > Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org > http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode
