Block-Agenda: Show whole entry

Block-Agenda: Show whole entry

Hello,

I'm trying to create an Agenda which will be printed / mailed daily. It
should include the usual 'today' agenda and my shopping list.

This shopping list is stored in an agenda file as a list with
checkboxes.

I want this list as the second block in my agenda. Is this possible?

Cheers,
Moritz Ulrich

IIUC, that should be no problem. Did you look at

Hi,

I don't think that this is possible, at least easily. Checkboxes are not
intended to appear in agendas [1]. You can still play with a few
variables in your agenda block definition, or with functions and/or a
minor mode [2]. But it looks far simpler if your shopping list appears
in one of your agenda files as headlines, with either a shopping
specific keyword, or a specific tag, hand by hand with a nice shopping
org-capture template. Eventually, you could retrieve your checkboxes by
adding [3] in your second agenda block ;-) I cannot help you more... but
if you find some solution, please share it!

Cheers,

François.
