Re: Auto-activate new <<<radio targets>>>

[Adam Sneller]

Thanks John! It looks like there is also an org-activate-target-links which may narrow the field a bit. Here is what I have so far:

(defadvice org-activate-target-links (after ad-update-target-links ())

  "Activate radio target links as soon as a new target is created."

  (lambda ()

    (interactive)

    (when (and (org-in-regexp org-target-regexp)

       (not (org-in-regexp org-target-regexp nil t)))

      (org-update-radio-target-regexp))))

(ad-activate 'org-activate-target-links)

Unfortunately, this is not working for me...

Any ideas?

I guess the place to do it is with an advice on org-activate-links. Maybe a simple after advice would do.

I'm not spotting any hook that could be used for this.  The <<<target>>>
fontification happens through a simple 'regular _expression_ => face'
mapping in org-font-lock-keywords.

You're probably aware of this and it's just not as automatic as you'd
like, but just in case: pressing `C-c C-c' with point on <<<target>>
will call org-update-radio-target-regexp.
