Okay, I can put the inline task under a normal headline with a
:noheading: tag that causes a filter to omit the headline itself, and
this is good enough for my needs:
* Like This :noheading:
*************** TODO Something inline
*************** END
Just to explain what I am doing though: writing a report, e.g.:
* Introduction
* Method
* Conclusions
Adding tasks as headings breaks up the structure undesirably:
* TODO Decide on a layout for the whole document
* Introduction
* TODO Finish writing the introduction
* Method
* Conclusions
Alternatively, using inline tasks, the document structure is still easy
to see (scanning down the left side) and they fold nicely:
*************** TODO Decide on a layout for the whole document...
* Introduction
*************** TODO Finish writing the introduction...
* Method
* Conclusions
Labouring the point at bit, I see the headlines as the fingers on my
left hand and the inline tasks are the fingers on my right hand and they
interleave:
*************** TODO Decide on a layout for the whole document...
* Introduction
*************** TODO Finish writing the introduction...
* Method
** Setup
*** Safety
*************** TODO Add fire exits...
**** Insurance
*************** TODO Ring broker...
* Conclusions
Changing the inline task before the Introduction to be under a headline
works but breaks up the document a little at the start:
* First task :noheading:
*************** TODO Decide on a layout for the whole document...
* Introduction
*************** TODO Finish writing the introduction...
* Method
** Setup
*** Safety
*************** TODO Add fire exits...
**** Insurance
*************** TODO Ring broker...
* Conclusions
(Another issue that may be related to this is that the preamble in a
complicated document for LaTeX export takes up a whole screen and it
would be nice to be able to fold it.)
Thanks,
Myles
