Subject: Checkboxes for description lists
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 07:05:47 +0300	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAAyP=yiKwr30UK5i0PqZE3et-0m1Sr6sMCWQEFZKb4oA_XU6gw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

Ive been using org-mode for a while, and it is quite excellent!

I have a question about checkboxes I came across recently. What is the
reason for disallowing the commands for adding and toggling checkboxes
on descripton list items (that is "- partA :: partB" list items) ?
(attempting to do so results in the message "Cannot add a checkbox to
a description list item")

As stated in the manual this can be toggled using
org-list-automatic-rules, but toggling this for checkboxes also
changes the way checkbox statistics are updated. Would it be possible
to "decouple" these two things, so that checkbox manipulation for
description list items would be possible, but statistics would still
automatically be updated, or is there a connection between the two
that I have missed?
