Sorry if this is not the proper terminology. Let me explain what I would like to have. Let's say I have a file where I want to keep details about a new machine installation. I would have something like: ,---- | * Installation of PC X | | ** Hardware configuration | blah,blah,blah, | | ** Software configuration | I intall app x, no trouble | | I try to install app y, but no luck | *** TODO App Y is giving trouble, fix | | I install app z, no trouble `---- For the "software configuration" I just type notes of what I'm doing, and I would like to have TODO items for unfinished tasks. If I write something like above when I collapse the TODO item, all the information about the app Z collapses with it. I know that I could create another outline level for each of the apps (or at least for "app y" and "app z"), but that will force me to create extra levels whenever I want to insert a TODO item in the middle of a section. So basically I would like to have that TODO item but somehow without creating a new section. Is it possible? Thanks, -- Ángel de Vicente http://angel-de-vicente.blogspot.com/
