Documentation

Variable used by Org files to set a category for agenda display.

There are multiple ways to set the category. One way is to set it in the document property drawer. For example:

:PROPERTIES:
:CATEGORY: Elisp
:END:

Other ways to define it is as an Emacs file variable, for example

# -*- mode: org; org-category: "Elisp"

or for the file to contain a special line:

#+CATEGORY: Elisp

If the file does not specify a category, then file's base name is used instead.
