Another possible idea may be to write project titles in bold while on
headlines. That way all you need search for is the beginning of a line
followed by a single * followed by a blank followed by the opening mark
for bolding and if this is only done with project titles you got yourself
an index.On Sat, 4 Feb 2012, Marc-Oliver Ihm wrote:
