I use inline tasks for this. If you are exporting to PDF via LaTeX, the following LaTeX definition for inline tasks is quite useful: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-inlinetask-export-templates '((latex "%s\\footnote{%s\\\\ %s}\\marginpar{\\fbox{\\thefootnote}}" '((unless (eq todo "") (format "\\fbox{\\textsc{%s%s}}" todo priority)) heading content)))) #+end_src This uses footnotes to put the task information into the document and uses a little margin note to indicate that a TODO task is present in the text. I've removed the templates for other export targets from this variable to keep the email short. HTH, eric -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.1, Org release_8.3beta-951-g2f58e3
