6.2.2.5 Task Numbering

By default, tasks are numbered according to their position on the page. Task numbers allow you to refer to tasks using Muse links. For example, the ‘#A1’ task in 2004.08.16 can be referred to as ‘2004.08.16#A1’.

Note that task numbers change every time you re-sort and re-number tasks with planner-fix-tasks. As a result, they are only reliable for references to past tasks.

If you find yourself not using this functionality, you can turn off task numbers by using the following option.

Options

— User Option: planner-use-task-numbers

Non-nil means use task numbers when creating tasks. This allows you to refer to past tasks if your tasks are numbered appropriately. If you set this to nil, you can save space in your plan files.
