That really helped to eliminate all empty headlines. I later
checked via
egrep -- "^[*]+[[:space:]]*$"
on my agenda files that there are no further empty headlines.
But alas, the message "No heading for this item in buffer or
region." still appears two times in my agenda -- for today.
When I move the cursor over this lines a message appears in the
echo area:
byte-code: Before first headline at position 64 in buffer org.org [14 times]
The second line of org.org begins at character 64 in the buffer.
It's a timestamp:
#Time-stamp: <2013-01-24 16:30:39 grfz>
Till recently this was no problem since it is a comment line.
Obviously org-mode somehow interprets this timestamp, since the
messages disappeared after I changed the time stamp delimiter from
`<' and `>' respectively to `"'. I consider this to be a bug
since these time stamps are a standard Emacs feature and this
line is a comment org-mode-wise.
Thanks for your help to clean up my org files and tracking down
the offending lines in my org agenda files.
Ciao, Gregor
