;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides some functions for handing repeated tasks which involve
;; checking off a list of items. By setting the RESET_CHECK_BOXES property in an
;; item, when the TODO state is set to done all checkboxes under that item are
;; cleared. If the LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME property is set, a file will be created
;; using the value of that property plus a timestamp, containing all the items
;; in the list which are not checked. Additionally the user will be prompted to
;; print the list.
;;
;; I use this for to keep track of stores of various things (food stores,
;; components etc) which I check periodically and use the exported list of items
;; which are not present as a shopping list.
;;
;;; Usage:
;; (require 'org-checklist)
;;
;; Set the RESET_CHECK_BOXES and LIST_EXPORT_BASENAME properties in items as
;; needed.
;;
