I'm wondering about how to define TODOs within the text the best way. I hope my bad english lasts to explain what I mean exactly: I'd like to define a TODO like in the example below. When there is a task somewhere in my text (I want to look something up etc.) I want to define this task at the relevant position in my text. So I can lookup all TODOs using the agenda-view and jump directly to the position in my text. The problem is that a TODO is always a new heading and so it is exported in my html(latex)-version as a heading. I would prefer to format a TODO as a text box or at least to exclude it from the html(latex)-export so that it is only visible in org-mode - not in the exported version. But when I exclude the TODO so that it isn't exported anymore, not only the TODO itself but also the text below the TODO isn't exported until there is a new heading - because the TODO itself is a heading, too. I know that this is because Org-Mode is an outliner-mode, TODOs always have to be defined with a beginning "*". But is there any possibility to solve the problem? How do you define TODOs within the text when you use Org-Mode as an authoring tool? Perhaps it is possible to define TODOs as a very deep-level heading, that isn't needed, like "********** TODO text" and change the export function that this level isn't exported as a heading but as a "div"-Container? Or every heading that contains "TODO" is not exported as a heading but as a div-container? What is the best way to handle TODOs within continuous text? Kind regards, Karl ----------------------------------------------------------------------- * Heading 1 Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consetetur sadipscing elitr, sed diam nonumy eirmod tempor invidunt ut labore et dolore magna aliquyam erat, sed diam voluptua.
