This is both challenging and useful, from an educational perspective. Here's an example: org-tags-column It is referred to in the documentation, but without an example. And it does not show up in a search of this list. So, how do I set this? I have tried: (setq org-tags-column 100) in my emacs, but I have no idea if this is the correct way to do this (or even if it works, actually). As I said, this is one of the interesting things about org; always more to discover and learn. Can someone give me a sense of how best to use the above setting? Thanks. Ross -- Ross A.
