A cons cell is a lisp structure which has two values in parentheses
separated by a dot
ie. (A . B)
There are functions (car and cdr) which returns the two values in the
cons cell respectively.
The easiest way to modify org-refile-targets is with the customize
interface.
C-h v org-refile-targets RET
then click the "You can _customize_ this variable." link
and then use the buttons to construct the value.
I have this value set as follows:
,----
| org-refile-targets is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is
| ((org-agenda-files :level . 1)
| (nil :level . 1))
`----
where:
(org-agenda-files :level . 1) specifies all level 1 targets in all
of my org files listed in
org-agenda-files
(nil :level . 1) specifies all level 1 files in the
current buffer
Sometimes I work in org-files which are not part of my
org-agenda-files list and I want to be able to refile to level 1 targets
in that file too.
I think you want the following setting:
,----
| org-refile-targets is a variable defined in `org.el'.
| Its value is
| ((org-agenda-files :level . 1)
| (org-agenda-files :level . 2))
`----
