Well, I was thinking about using it more for tag matches -- like NEXT.
But I am beginning to see how such a feature might make agenda commands
grow in their output and defeat their purpose. For now, I think I can
be more verbose. That little inconvenience is worth all the immense
advantages of org-mode.<br><br>d.<br><font color="#888888">

 &nbsp;&gt; Not quite. Although these are very useful enhancements while I&#39;m at the<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; computer, I was looking for something that I could publish -- so I could<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; carry around a hard copy showing contextual levels.<br>
 &nbsp;&gt;<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; For example<br>
 &nbsp;&gt;<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; * Let Jimmy know about annual picnic<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; ** NEXT Write letter to Jimmy &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; @COMPUTER<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; ** NEXT Send it &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;@ERRAND<br>
 &nbsp;&gt;<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; If when I look for all todo items matching NEXT, I&#39;ll see:<br>
 &nbsp;&gt;<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; ** Write letter<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; ** Send it<br>
 &nbsp;&gt;<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; Which when I publish doesn&#39;t tell me enough. Of course I could become more<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; verbose in my sub-level captions, but it would be better to see relevant<br>
 &nbsp;&gt; headlines and relevant sub-headlines.<br>
<br>
</div> &nbsp;I see what you are saying. &nbsp;That has been a minor annoyance for me<br>
as well. &nbsp;I have been trying to deal with this by being, like you<br>
suggested, more verbose. &nbsp;But I wonder if agenda should show items<br>
that are not scheduled/meant for the day. &nbsp;To test the idea I decided<br>
to write up a small test plan and see what we would want the final<br>
agenda to look like.<br>
<br>
 &nbsp;,----<br>
 &nbsp;| * Plan a weekend outing for [2008-04-26 Sat]<br>

How would you like the agenda to show up on, say, the 24th?<br>
