My org-modules seems to have org-inlinetask
But I dont seem to see any of these variables available in my emacs

emacs version 23
org version 7.5

I agree this is interesting.

Another option is an annotation mechanism with unbreakable
bidirectional links -- ID markers work for this.  You can stick the
markers anywhere.

If the thing to be annotated is read-only, I have other ideas.

Heck yes -- this sounds *awesome*. Could you give an example? I'd be
interested in this regardless, as what I might export could, indeed,
have an insanely good use for links like this to go back and forth
between various places.

Nope -- I grab the html, futz with it, massage it into a usable
org-mode file, and then use that for notes and export to PDF.


Thanks,

I can't have something set up right. I was doubtful that I was going
this source block thing right when Eric posted his suggestion for
notes in code blocks. So, I pasted this into my org-mode file and
evaluated it. Is that not what I'm supposed to do? At the top of the
resultant pdf, I get:
,---
| language=Lisp (setq org-inlinetask-default-state "TODO")
| ;; templates for inline tasks in various exporters (setq
org-inlinetask-export-templates ’((html "<pre
|  ̈
| class=ïnlinetask><b>’((unless (eq todo "") (format "<span class= ̈
lass todo todo priority)) heading
| c
| ----------and more------------
`---

Then my document is below. It does do *something* -- my inline note
changed from:
,-----
| *Inline headline* my notes on the first line which wrap to
|          more notes spilling onto second line, which wrap to
|          more notes onto a third line
`-----

to:
,-----
| [inline] *Inline headline* (and this is spread across the entire
width of the page)
| my notes on the first line which wrap to
| more notes spilling onto second line, which wrap to
| more notes onto a third line
`-----

What am I goofing up. Sorry, I've never used babel blocks like this!
Only for stuff like gnuplot, ditaa, etc. Is there something different
I should be doing to evaluate an elisp block that sets in-file
settings?


Thanks,
John

Try pasting Seb's code into the *scratch* buffer, not the org-mode
buffer. Once you evaluate it in the scratch buffer, you should be to
make inline-tasks/headlines as normal and export to pdf to get the
style defined by the lisp code. From reading it, it should be the
headline content in small caps, followed by a line return, and text
notes.

If you like it, you can add the customizations to an init file, or use
the customize interface to set things up.

Something's still not right. This:
------
* Top headline
Some notes about this stuff to see how this custom export works! Some
notes about
this stuff to see how this custom export works!

*************** An inline section
Here's some text inside an inline section; let's see what the format
looks like on
export!
*************** END

Some notes about this stuff to see how this custom export works! Some
notes about
this stuff to see how this custom export works!
------

Is producing the attached.
