I've now tested it and it is as I thought: the comment character has to be in column 1. The reason is org-agenda-skip: ,---- | (defun org-agenda-skip () | "Throw to `:skip' in places that should be skipped. | Also moves point to the end of the skipped region, so that search can | continue from there." | (let ((p (point-at-bol)) to) | (when (org-in-src-block-p t) (throw :skip t)) | (and org-agenda-skip-archived-trees (not org-agenda-archives-mode) | (get-text-property p :org-archived) | (org-end-of-subtree t) | (throw :skip t)) | (and org-agenda-skip-comment-trees | (get-text-property p :org-comment) | (org-end-of-subtree t) | (throw :skip t)) | (if (equal (char-after p) ?#) (throw :skip t)) | (when (setq to (or (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function-global) | (org-agenda-skip-eval org-agenda-skip-function))) | (goto-char to) | (throw :skip t)))) `---- It sets p to the point at the beginning of the line and then checks if the character after it is '#'. Only then does it skip the entry. Nick
