How do I create an agenda block for entries with a specific tag?

How do I create an agenda block for entries with a specific tag?

[Alan Schmitt]

Hello,

I'm trying to find a way to create an agenda bloc (of type agenda) that
is restricted to a set of tags. I tried using a skip function but (as I
explained in another mail) I cannot get it to work. If someone has done
it before, I'd gladly have a look at how to do it.

Thanks,

Alan

From the classic document http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html

("r" "Tasks to Refile" tags "REFILE"
               ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Tasks to Refile")
                (org-tags-match-list-sublevels nil)))

Is this what you are looking for?

Thanks and Regards

Unfortunately this is a "tags" block. What I'm looking for is the same
thing, but for an "agenda" block.

Thanks,

You can try `org-agenda-tag-filter-preset' but I noticed some quirks
with it, so maybe you'll have a change to report more bugs.

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll give it a try.

I just gave it a try and it seems to work great. I'll keep my eyes
opened for any potential bug. Thanks again for the suggestion!
