I admire John's many accomplishments and value his membership in the Org mode community. Is the hook he is requesting a difficult thing to implement? Would it be possible to describe the customization variable in a "Super User" section that is clearly not for the faint at heart? I'm not suggesting anyone should implement a hook or create a customization variable, I'm just curious (and unable to figure out answers on my own). All the best, Tom -- Thomas S.
