Many of them are more along the lines of one-liner action items I need to jot to myself so I don't forget as well as keeping them as a sort of rolling "next actions" queue. For that reason, I'd much rather keep them in their original context. This can't be too hard. ,--- | sed '/[*]* TODO/ s/$/ :noexport:/g' `--- Or (facetious) ,--- | setq (prefix-for-noexport-custom-variable) | setq (default-tags-for-no-export-variable) `--- I just don't know what the elegant, "right" elisp/org method is for something like this.
