27 ;;; Commentary:
29 ;; This module implements inline tasks in Org-mode. Inline tasks are
30 ;; tasks that have all the properties of normal outline nodes, including
31 ;; the ability to store meta data like scheduling dates, TODO state, tags
32 ;; and properties. However, these nodes are treated specially by the
33 ;; visibility cycling and export commands.
35 ;; Visibility cycling exempts these nodes from cycling. So whenever their
36 ;; parent is opened, so are these tasks. This will only work with
37 ;; `org-cycle', so if you are also using orther commands to show/hide
38 ;; entries, you will occasionally find these tasks to behave like
39 ;; all other outline nodes, seemingly splitting the text of the parent
40 ;; into children.
42 ;; Export commands do not treat these nodes as part of the sectioning
43 ;; structure, but as a special inline text that is either removed, or
44 ;; formatted in some special way.
46 ;; Special fontification of inline tasks, so that they can be immediately
47 ;; recognized. From the stars of the headline, only the first and the
48 ;; last two will be visible, the others will be hidden using the
49 ;; `org-hide' face.
51 ;; An inline task is identified solely by a minimum outline level, given
52 ;; by the variable `org-inlinetask-min-level', default 15.
54 ;; Inline tasks are normally assumed to contain at most a time planning
55 ;; line (DEADLINE etc) after it, and then any number of drawers, for
56 ;; example LOGBOOK of PROPERTIES. No empty lines are allowed.
57 ;; If you need to have normal text as part of an inline task, you
58 ;; can do so by adding an "END" headline with the same number of stars,
59 ;; for example
61 ;; **************** TODO some small task
62 ;; DEADLINE: <2009-03-30 Mon>
63 ;; :PROPERTIES:
64 ;; :SOMETHING: or other
65 ;; :END:
66 ;; And here is some extra text
67 ;; **************** END
