Is there a way to allow checkboxes to be displayed within an agenda view?  I
am currently just seeing the root element associated to the checkboxes in my
agenda.

No, checkboxes do not make it into the agenda.  You can press SPC to  
see them in another window, but that's it.

Carsten,

Thank you for your reply.  Was it intentionally designed to keep checkboxes
out of the agenda view or is it just that way because no one has submitted a
patch to provide that yet?

It seems that checkboxes in the agenda would get confusing, fast.
Unless you could tag each checkbox with it's own 'to accomplish' date, I
don't see where that feature would help me any.

J.,

The way I use them is to simply associate the root element with a scheduled
date, the checkboxes just provide a way to itemize the root task.

I guess, that's intended.  If a checkbox item is such a big task that it
deserves its own DEADLINE/SCHEDULED/normal date, then you should have
used a TODO heading in the first place.

This is by design.  As Dave writes, Checkboxes have no meta data to  
decide about inclusion in the agenda view.  They are meant as fine- 
grained subdivision of tasks.

Tassilo,

The root item is in fact a TODO item with a scheduled date, I have just been
using checkboxes as children of the root TODO item for tracking the
individual work items related to the TODO.  So for example:

* TODO Prepare for trip
[ ] pack clothes
[ ] print boarding tickets
[ ] turn on alarm

I suppose could swap out the checkboxes for two stars instead, I was just
asking.

Or put a checkbox cookie in the headline

* TODO Prepare for trip [%] [/]

and it updates when you check/uncheck the boxes

* TODO Prepare for trip
  [ ] pack clothes
  [ ] print boarding tickets
  [ ] turn on alarm

Sorry this mail got sent a bit prematurely :)

* TODO Prepare for trip [0%] [0/3]

  - [ ] pack clothes
  - [ ] print boarding tickets
  - [ ] turn on alarm

* TODO Prepare for trip [33%] [1/3]

  - [X] pack clothes
  - [ ] print boarding tickets
  - [ ] turn on alarm

* TODO Prepare for trip [100%] [3/3]

  - [X] pack clothes
  - [X] print boarding tickets
  - [X] turn on alarm

You can use either the [%] or [/] (or both) cookies in a headline
As long as the checkboxes are lists it updates properly.

HTH,
Bernt

Well, but that also doesn't make the checkboxes appear in the agenda so
that you could check them off there.  I guess, that was what Nick wanted
to achieve.

But with your suggestion at least you know that there are checkboxes
below that TODO headline.  And then you can hit SPACE to check them off
in a separate buffer.

Tassilo
