I don't know if it warrants a re-working of the tangle functionality, but it
warrants at least having the possibility to do such documents from withing
Org IMHO.
We're both (many more?) convinced...
Given your description below I think I may try to add the Nuweb
link/reference syntax source-block-name to org-babel.
Good.
Sorry for the (little) mistake I've made, but -- to be exact -- the above
syntax is from noweb.
Nuweb syntax one is with @ such as the following include code:
--8---cut here---start-8---
@ Cursor abcID : Init on records @
--8---cut here---end---8---
where the thing between `@' and `@' is the name of the source.
As source-code blocks are already named in the current org-babel setup this
wouldn't be a very significant change. Once this is added it shouldn't be
difficult to expand these links/references on export.
Excellent.
Under this new setup the example file you described would be analogous
to the this org-mode file.
Does this sound like it would accomplish most of what you are after?
I think so, yes. I'll scan all my Nuweb and noweb files over the past years,
but I am positive you cover all of my needs -- with the exception of one, but
I guess it's solvable somehow: the fact that the code should be included via
the LaTeX `listings' package (thus, colored contextually to the programming
language) and not as verbatim.
With the newest version of org-babel [1]
Done: `git pull'.
try opening the attached org-mode file [2] which is an org-mode
translation of Sébastien's noweb file from his previous email.
I wanted to translate it in Org. You've been much quicker than I currently am.
Thanks.
Calling `org-babel-tangle' from within this file will create the
Payment.sql, Lessons.sql, and Enterprise.sql source-code files.
Nope...

Is it normal that you don't include the extension in the tangle property?
Does it add the language extension automatically?

I wanna show (or, at least, try to show) some advantages of literate

explain the code independently of its final structure as ``source
code''.

document.

Re: [Orgmode] formula
Hi Haroldo, You cannot copy a formula easily from one field t the next with shifting the reference like you would do in a normal spreadsheet. However, you can use relative references (see the manual) in order to write formulas in an invariant way, and then use basic editing commands in the C-c ' buffer to define the formula for many fields. Even better, use a column formula which allows you to write a single formula for an entire column. - Carsten On Aug 3, 2009, at 12:58 AM, Haroldo Stenger wrote: hi , I wonder how can a formula in a table be copied to a location below, and its references be shifted alongwise automatically.

[Orgmode] Feature Request: Keeping me honest
Hi, I'm not sure how/if these are implemented or implementable. * Keeping Me honest When i outline a project, sometimes there are points that are ambigiously stated. Being neither actions or titles, they can slip through the cracks. So i've been thinking of a feature that would be similar to the stuck projects indicator. This would be a set of words that would naturally follow a TODO or similar, to indicate that the title has some honesty to it. Its to enforce a kind of GTD verb in every actionalble outline title. Implementation wise, i was thinking this could be a word list associated with a todo or tag. That list would then be used to font lock the first word of an outline header. e.g. wrong * TODO foobar compatibility needed for something vs right * TODO change feature X of something so that it works with foobar Either the first word, and/or the whole line would be highlighted a different colour. GTD words are not the only use for a feature like this. It might be used to highlight that a bug ID is needed in a FIXME heading with a regexp ID#[0-9]+ associated to the keep me honest field. Not sure where i picked this list up from but here are some example GTD words to test with: *** PROJECT todo-type outline action verbs Finalize, resolve, handle, look into, submit, maximize, organize, design, complete, ensure, research, roll out, update, install, implement, set-up *** TODO todo-type next action verbs Address, ask, avoid, buy, change, clarify, collect, commend confront, consider, create, decide, defer, develop, discard, do again, download, enter, file, follow up, hire, improve, increase, inform, inquire, maintain, measure, monitor, order, paint, phone, prioritize, purchase, question, reduce, remember, repair, reply, report, research, resolve, review, schedule, sell, send, service, specify, start, stop, suggest, tidy, train, update, upgrade, write.

[1] It is even more important when combined with what is IMO Emacs's greatest need for improvement, which is that you can undo, and undo an undo, and this is considered to be sufficient since you can get anywhere in the timeline in principle -- but many users, myself included, prefer a true redo command, both because undoing an undo does not let you do commands (such as copying) in the middle of an undo sequence without going the other direction, and because it feels more intuitive to tell emacs where in the timeline we want to go, and go forward or backward if we overshoot, thus making it possible to view the timeline the same way as we go backward and forward in any linear sequence. (redo.el provides the functionality, but it corrupts the buffer.) Of course, many are comfortable with the traditional undo-the-undo mechanism, so that should stay possible, but there are many who are not, and a redo mechanism would satisfy them. It is possible to get more fancy with a tree. The current undo system is very powerful as it doesn't lose history (unless you hit a quota limit). With undo-redo systems you usually can lose history if you edit things in an old state. Suddenly redo is not available anymore. You can only access the most recent branch in the history tree. In emacs this will not happen as you can reach all nodes in the buffer history, but these states are not easily accessible, especially, if you went back and forth some times. I cannot track the list of states in my mind or imagine the current structure of the undo tree, I can only go step by step and look at the situation in the buffer and decide whether this is what I wanted or not. I recently stumbled upon an article which, I think, quiet nicely summarized what one wants: http://e-texteditor.com/blog/2006/making-undo-usable But it's not available for emacs ...

Re: [Orgmode] iCal Export UID only Headline
Hi David, this is a very interesting problem. Apparently you are using (setq org-id-method 'org) This method uses a compact encoding of the current time, to microsecond accuracy, as part of the UID. The fact that some of the IDs you get are the same could mean that you are using a very fast machine that parses several entries in the same microsecond. However, the large jump in the ID after the constant period seems to indicate that maybe your system does not communicate microsecond accurate time to Emacs. One way out would be to switch to uuidgen for ID creation, maybe that behaves better on your system? - Carsten On Jul 30, 2009, at 9:55 PM, David A.

Once this is added it shouldn't be difficult to expand these links/references on export. Excellent. Under this new setup the example file you described would be analogous to the this org-mode file. Does this sound like it would accomplish most of what you are after? I think so, yes. I'll scan all my Nuweb and noweb files over the past years, but I am positive you cover all of my needs -- with the exception of one, but I guess it's solvable somehow: the fact that the code should be included via the LaTeX `listings' package (thus, colored contextually to the programming language) and not as verbatim. I agree fontified code would certainly be preferable to the current approach of inserting source-code as verbatim. This seems to be a general org-mode development issue rather than org-babel specific, so I'm happy to push the buck on this one :). I don't know much about the listings package, but would another possibly be easier to use htmlize.el (used for fontification on html export) along with html - latex conversion? With the newest version of org-babel [1] Done: `git pull'. Please do another git pull before trying the steps below so we can be sure we're working off the same code base. try opening the attached org-mode file [2] which is an org-mode translation of Sébastien's noweb file from his previous email. I wanted to translate it in Org. You've been much quicker than I currently am. Thanks. Calling `org-babel-tangle' from within this file will create the Payment.sql, Lessons.sql, and Enterprise.sql source-code files. Nope... Open ~/Personal/Templates/org-babel-lit-prog.org tangled 0 source-code blocks I don't understand why. Me either... I'm not sure what could be different about our two environments that could be causing this problem. Maybe it has to do with the --8---cut here---start-8--- (setq org-odd-levels-only t) --8---cut here---end---8--- that you mention below. Also note that with org-babel by default source-code blocks are not tangled, only those with a :tangle header argument will be tangled to source-code files. So for example --8---cut here---start-8--- #+srcname: sql-init #+begin_src sql -- sql-init SELECT abcID, etpID, etpAssurATPolNum FROM enterprise JOIN record ON (etpAbcID_fk = abcID) WHERE etpAbcID_fk -- sql-cond #+end_src --8---cut here---end---8--- will not be tangled, while --8---cut here---start-8--- #+srcname: enterprise #+begin_src sql :tangle Enterprise -- sql-init SELECT abcID, etpID, etpAssurATPolNum FROM enterprise JOIN record ON (etpAbcID_fk = abcID) WHERE etpAbcID_fk -- sql-cond #+end_src --8---cut here---end---8--- will be tangled. I have changed the original org-babel-lit-prog.org so that it should work with your configuration of odd levels only and posted it up here [1]. Note that you can grab all of these referenced files by cloning the git repo at git://github.com/eschulte/noweb-example.git. By calling org-babel-tangle from within this org-mode file I was able to generate Enterprise.sql [2], Lessons.sql [3], and Payment.sql [4]. Is it normal that you don't include the extension in the tangle property? Does it add the language extension automatically? Yes, org-babel adds the language specific extension automatically. This could be changed/overridden if it proves to limiting. It grew out of the fact that originally source-code files were named based upon the basename of the org-mode file and the language extension. The document can also be exported into html and latex using org-mode's standard export functionality. I have problems as well... Again maybe this is the result of conflicting values of org-odd-levels-only? Please try this with the newer org-mode file [1]. I was able to export this to latex resulting in the following tex file [5] and pdf file [6]. I was also able to export this file to html which includes code highlighting [7]. [...] BTW, what do you think of my proposal to include the Tangle process as a built-in step of the export to LaTeX (and HTML)? That way, we only would export and get both flies caught with one stone. I like that idea, once this is working as two separate processes it should be relatively trivial to optionally hook org-babel-tangle onto the other export commands. Thanks for all!

This almost certainly violates GTD, but priorities and urgencies work for me. Org flexibly supports any method you want. I do, however, rely on the agenda's built-in faces, and the second colum that says Deadline etc., for status. These are very useful. I have a thorough testcase for this and found several potential bugs that I will report on in a separate post. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] refile ideas
Hi Carsten, On 2009-08-02, Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com wrote: If you mark some headlines (for example you remember targets) with a tag like r, you could make yourself a restricted refile command like this: (defun my-org-restricted-refile () (interactive) (let ((org-refile-targets '((org-agenda-files :tag . r (call-interactively 'org-refile))) Not what you proposed, but maybe useful. I like it. It gives me an idea for remember. For consistency, we can optionally make remember use restricted refile as you propose above. The way it would work is this. A template can optionally specify only format, not target location. When that is the case, c-c c-c in the remember buffer asks you where you want to file using restricted refile. I would definitely use this, because I want to have the time between idea and text as short as possible. Deciding the target location does not need to happen before the text. This would allow reduction of remember templates to just the ones that have different formats. It would allow you to remember to different locations from a given template, and different templates to a given location, without increasing the number of templates or going to a full refile interface. In my case, a full refile interface is /very/ slow when it gathers candidates. But a restricted refile is much faster and reduces human error. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Comments in Org-mode
Hi Carsten, On 2009-08-02, Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com wrote: Yes. Running this command sets the variable comment-start, which then breaks automatic filling. I have never understood why, it would be nice to fix this problem, but I don't know how. It works for me. However, I don't know if the fix was my changes to filladapt or the fact that I set comment-start to be buffer-local. See my posts earlier in this thread. Samuel's solution to use filladapt might work, but it replaces much of Org's wrapping code with something else - which I don't really want. It does work for me, for what it's worth :).

Re: [Orgmode] formula
Dear Carsten , Thanks ! That's exactly what I was in need of: a combination of a column-formula and relative references in the formula. So far, so good. Now, I have the formula line like this #+TBLFM: $...@-1$5 + @-0$3 - @-0$4 and the very line I typed the formula gets calculated fine. If I want another line into the bus, I go to the empty field in the same column in another line, and go to the Calculate menu, and choose recalculate line, and the fine result appears there , as expected. But if I approach Calculate / Recalculate all , in fact , nothing happens. I tried many times, without result. Recalc line works perfectly, but that does not seem what I'm looking for, which would be a recalculation of all the fields in the column that holds my column-formula. I'll continue reading until I find out, but if you come up with an answer earlier I'd be grateful in advance ! :-) best , haroldo 2009/8/3 Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com Hi Haroldo, You cannot copy a formula easily from one field t the next with shifting the reference like you would do in a normal spreadsheet. However, you can use relative references (see the manual) in order to write formulas in an invariant way, and then use basic editing commands in the C-c ' buffer to define the formula for many fields. Even better, use a column formula which allows you to write a single formula for an entire column. - Carsten On Aug 3, 2009, at 12:58 AM, Haroldo Stenger wrote: hi , I wonder how can a formula in a table be copied to a location below, and its references be shifted alongwise automatically. I checked every documentation I've found , but that feature does not show up. I'm forced to copy the formula in in the C-c ' and then go to each of the references and type S-downarrow as many times.

[Orgmode] A Couple of GTD Weekly Review repeating tasks, and a GTD Project Yasnippet
Hi Crew I have a couple of weekly review tasks that I thought I would share. These are from both Getting things Done and Making it all Work (David Allen). I've also attached my weekly review agenda command that works In tandem with it. Finally, I have attached a new-and-improved yasnippet for projects. For me, I needed to empty my head once every two weeks, but you might opt to merge the weekly and bi-weekly reviews. I've found that keeping a checklist like this makes it easy to deal with any interruptions that come up in the middle of my reviews. I set up my custom agenda commands with a couple of helper functions (also included) to make tag searches a little easier to express. They're not perfect, but they work for now. The Project YaSnippet uses elisp to determine the correct placement for headlines, this way it will work on any headline level.

[Orgmode] Moving rows up without collapsing the view
When I try to move a row up using org-metaup (M-up) the subtrees immediately all fold up. Is there any way to prevent this folding from occurring? My apologies if this is covered somewhere; I could not find this in the manual or upon searching.

[Orgmode] Day workflow: need your opinion
Hi, I am not a serious org-mode user but I am trying to use it again for daily task planning (which everytime I tried, failed at ;)). I did my lectures thanks to the worg project (Bernst and John lecture were a real pleasure and sort of a non hittable dream to me) but I still not clear how I could take advantage of all I read (Bernst project concept is rather hard to understand for me, it lacks examples IMO). My main problem is that, at my work position (DBA), urgency is not given by what I plan to do but by whom is calling me -i.e if someone is calling me, it often means forget what you were doing and do this instead. Given my fabulous talent of procrastination, this does not really help get organized and thus this does not help in getting things done. How would you use org-mode in this situation ? Ex: a) I doing some non urgent (planned) DBA tasks (call this project A) b) someone calls me (interrupting Project A) c) I am doing what urgency of b) is needed d) when c) is finished, I get back to project A At my job, they often rules the retro planning concept which is bloat. So how would you manage such situation in org-mode ? Thank you, Xavier ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
