There is a little Org issue that has been bugging me for quite long. When using Org for task management, subheadings are typically used to define tasks, often grouped under one heading that defines a project. For instance:
* Project 1
** TODO Task a
** TODO Task b
* Project 2
** TODO Task c
Org folds blank lines at the end of any subtree into the latest subheading. So, when I start unfolding Project 1
, Task b
shows as Task b...
, i.e. it seems to have some hidden description which is misleading. I always go to see what is under Task b...
only to find its empty.
A compromise is to set org-cycle-separator-lines
to 1
. However, this prevents the user from writing descriptions that are well spaced, as this will introduce unwanted blank lines in the folded view. For example:
* Project 1
** TODO Task a
- [ ] Subtask
- [ ] Subtask
** TODO Task b
The above code shows as:
* Project 1
** TODO Task a...
** TODO Task b
Any better solutions?
Maybe try org-padding? https://github.com/TonCherAmi/org-padding
