Unfortunately it fails to work, the checkboxes aren't recognised as TODO keywords, and don't cycle properly. Obviously also C-c can't be used to toggle them (as it adds tags) and these wouldn't be real checkboxes. I'm not sure if there is a need for checkboxes in outlines. When I started with org-mode this is something I felt like I needed; though this is likely due to me having previously used vim outliner for about a year. Can anyone else see a use/need for this? Vim outliner supports checkboxes as part of outlines, which allows folding etc... It will also automatically check parent boxes when all child boxes are checked (is there a way for org-mode to do this???) R.
