Re: [O] [OT]: Search for missing :END:

[Jonathan Leech-Pepin]

I just tested this.

M-x goto-char RET <reported position> RET ;; In this case 18720

Sends you directly to the end of your :PROPERTIES: line that does not have an associated :END:.

You'll simply have to then add :END: after the appropriate properties, or remove the :PROPERTIES: line that shouldn't be present (as the case may be).

M-x goto-char RET 18720 RET

will take you there, but it's probably at the very end of the buffer: search backwards
for :PROPERTIES: and you should be able to find it (if your diagnosis is
indeed correct).
