Re: [Orgmode] How to define TODOs within continuous text the best way?

[Sebastian Rose]

I can't think of a good way to make the TODO items inline for HTML
export, as the result is a list. Note, that the <p> element has to be
closed to have valid XHTML (wich means we can't use a CSS selector
`p ul' here to make it inline):

=> --->8----------------------------->8----------------------------->8---

<p> Some Text...
</p><ul>
<li id="sec-1.1.1.1.1"><span class="todo TODO"> TODO</span> Get the container 
<br/>
</li>
</ul>
<p> Some Text...

<= ---8<-----------------------------8<-----------------------------8<---
