taskjuggler_report questions

I've been using the taskjuggler export (org-mode 8.0.3 and taskjuggler 3)
and it's exactly what I have needed for some time. My thanks to those who
have contributed to it.

I'd like to include the report spec in my org file as a heading tagged
taskjuggler_report but I am having a few issues getting it to work. I hope
someone can help.

How do you get a task id into the report? eg report-id in taskreport
report-id "FileName" {..."

Is it possible to do multi-line properties? I'm looking at rich text markup
using -8<-

Can you export macro definitions into the file?

Thanks,

Tom Slee

The possibility to create (tj3) report definitions in orgmode is a neat
feature and probably works in very simple cases. However I never was
able to use it for the reasons you mention below (e.g. no support for
multi-line properties)

What I usually do is to either define the report using M-x
customize-variable org-export-taskjuggler-default-reports or I set
org-export-taskjuggler-default-reports to simply "include
\"reports.tji\"" and then define the reports externally (using full tj3
syntax).

I think for both of these you might have to define the report in tj3
syntax using either of the methods above.

You could try customizing org-taskjuggler-default-global-header.

Thanks Christian,

I have done the same as you - using a reports.tji file to hold the report
definitions. It limits you to one project per directory of course.

Defining macros in org-taskjuggler-default-global-header does work, but I
think it doesn't provide any real benefit over including them in
reports.tji.
