Headline and numbered plain list

Headline and numbered plain list

Hello Guys,

do you know if orgmode provides combination of headline and numbered plain
list with checkbox on the same line.

For example,

I would like to have the following:

** 1. [ ] Text for first item
** 2. [ ] Text for second item

Thank you,
                     Juri.

No, this is not possible in Org and I'm not sure what you want to
achieve: If you need a headline, than you can use TODO keywords
instead of a checkbox (they will carry the same information).
Numbering headlines is not a good idea, implementation-wise: Those
numbers would have to be recalculated every time the structure of the
document changes (e.g. insert new headline, change headline level
etc.).

Thank you David, for your reply.

The only reason I need this is just I can specify TAG(s) for headline and
can't do this for any other record. Therefore, I need to have information
about number of items, checked number and get items by TAG.

Is there any other way to achieve this?

Thank you,
                          Juri.

Hi Juri,

I think you should promote your list entries with checkboxes to full
headlines that support tags.  You can switch back and forth between
lists and headlines by selecting the text and using C-c * on the region.

I would suggest you change from 

,----
| ** 1. [ ] Text for first item
| ** 2. [ ] Text for second item
`----

to

,----
| * Top level headline [/] [%]                    :sometags:
| ** TODO Text for first item
| ** TODO Text for second item
`----

that way when you mark the TODO items DONE (equivalent to checking the
checkboxes) the cookies [/] and [%] update with the number of complete
and total items for the subheadings.

HTH,
Bernt

Thank you Bernt for proposal. Yes, it can work but only TODO and DONE in
this case not good words for the item but I will try.

Thank you,
                   Juri.

You can use other keywords - just enter them in the file as

#+TODO: FOO | BAR

Use whatever makes sense for your scenario.  Alternatively set them up
in your global todo keyword list in org-todo-keywords.

Damn!  I didn't know the statistic boxes worked like that either.   I
think I need to go reread the docs!

Thanks for the info.  This is great!
