In other words, I would like to write something like this: #+BEGIN: columnview :id global :width t :skip-empty-rows t :contents = "%45ITEM %10Time{:}" :match TAG1 #+END #+BEGIN: columnview :id global :width t :skip-empty-rows t :contents = "%45ITEM %10Time{:}" :match TAG2 #+END What is the right way to do this in org-mode? I have been looking in the documentation and FAQ, but I did not get = anywhere. Background: I am currently designing two university courses that cover roughly the = same topics. I would like to do the topic selection, time estimation = (time needed for a topic in class, time to solve an exercise) and = scheduling (which topic/exercise/..) to do in which class/week in one = org-mode file that has as the main tree a topic tree. My idea was to have tags to identify topics I would do in a certain = course, and a family of tags (like courseA_a, courseA_b) to tag things I = would do in a certain lecture. Now I could (with the above constructs) extract the topics and = time-estimates for the two different courses, and even for the single = lectures of each course, or the single weeks of assigned homeworks for = the different courses. Is this a reasonable setup? Any comment or help is appreciated. Riko -- =20 Riko Jacob rjacob@inf.ethz.ch http://www.inf.ethz.ch/personal/rjacob/
