Thank you Eric, I'll follow the advice. As Rasmus showed, 'org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift' works with a timestamp, but it does not with (the result of) an org-class call. Ideally, what I would like to do is to specify a set of classes using org-class syntax and, as a result, get a set of headers. 'org-class' is a powerful tool, but just not powerful enough yet... -- Joseph Le Roux RCLN, LIPN, Université Paris 13 Tel: +33 (0) 1 49 40 40 81 Fax: +33 (0) 1 48 26 51 12 URL: http://lipn.univ-paris13.fr/~leroux
