Hi there,

I would like to automatically count the number of children under a given =
heading. For example, I would like to have

* Cars (2)
** BMW
** Escort

 Putting  [/] at the end of header (in this case Cars), then putting the =
TODO keyword before each sub-header give me a partial solution

* Cars [/]
** TODO BMW
** TODO Escort


Is there way to do this without using the TODO keyword ?

Thanks,
M=
