[Orgmode] Request for guidance: Export ONLY headlines matching occur search?
I am keeping notes in a single file about several topics. I can
isolate headlines about these topics/products, by an agenda occur
search: C-a a / key phrase . I have made a template to print a
memo about these products, but it seems I must copy the headlines
by hand to a register or file, then massage them into shape.
I would like to do something like export a PDF of all
entries/subtrees within the region that have the product's key
phrase in the heading. Is it possible to selectively export only
the subtrees identified by the Occur agenda search, automagically?
Since my notes start with an inactive time stamp, I would like to
strip these out as well. I think I can easily write an elisp
function to do this, but perhaps org-mode already has such
capabilities built in, a regexp for an inactive time stamp.
Perhaps I'll spend some time over Christmas break on this. It's
nice to easily make a memo, but it would be a big help to make it
less laborious.
In case there is interest, here are the template and the fragments
for the head and tail of the memo.
Remember template:
(Memo ?Z %[~/org/MEMO/Top.2.memo] %?\n %i %
%[~/org/MEMO/Bot.memo]
~/or/MEMO/Memo.tex top)
The required files Top.2.memo and Bot.memo are attached. Top.2.memo can
be edited with any hard wired recipient and from lines. The class file,
also included, is edited to change the header on the memo. All three must
be in the directory ~/org/MEMO. I am using the sloppy approach of
running LaTeX on the long Memo.tex file to which the current memo has been
pre-pended. Only the topmost memo is printed.
This approach works but it is currently a kluge, unpolished. The
enhancements I have requested would make it possible to instantly fire off a
memo about a specific product.

QDAS is a special type of software for qualitative data analysis[¹], mostly used in Sociology and related fields of Science. Existing programs like Atlas.ti[²] and MaxQDA[³] are what I deem the essence of proprietary stuff: very expensive, elitist and utterly unfree (but widely used by research groups who have enough money at their disposal). Interestingly, I saw ads for MaxQDA plastered everywhere at the American Anthropological Association conference recently, and immediately thought that the best way to go about implementing a free alternative would be on top of Emacs. Really all it would take would be a few functions to add user tags as text properties, and then some stuff for browsing those tags and doing some simple analysis on them. I mentioned this possibility to my wife, who is the linguistic anthropologist in the family, and hence the prospective user of this, and she categorically shot down the idea of using emacs for handling her data, on the basis of user-unfriendliness. But it's interesting to see that our thoughts are running along the same lines.

Re: [Orgmode] Beamer support in Org-mode
Aloha Carsten,
I've had a chance to look at your first draft of beamer support.
You've done a terrific job. So much of the draft is right that it
helps to focus thoughts on the parts that are candidates for
discussion and possible change.
Along those lines, I don't think using headlines for
\begin{columns} ... \end{columns} works very well. I think headlines
should be reserved for sectioning, frames, elements of frames (blocks
and friends), and notes. Once a headline level has been designated
for frames (n), then headline n+1 becomes an element of the frame, and
headline n+2 becomes notes for the frame (following Daniel Martins'
lead).
To my mind, columns are attributes of a frame, so they might better be
handled as a property of the frame. Frame elements are specifically
assigned to a column, or not, using a property.
Roughly, this would yield the following syntax, which ought to export
fairly cleanly with the HTML and LaTeX exporters.
#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL 2
* Section 1
** Frame 1
:PROPERTIES:
:FRAME_COLS: 2
:END:
*** Element 1 :block:
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 1
:END:
- Item 1
- Item 2
Notes about Element 1 block
- Keyed to Item 1
- Keyed to Item 2
*** Element 2 :block:
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 2
:END:
- Item 3
- Item 4
*** Element 3
This element spans two columns. The headline doesn't appear on the
slide.
*** Element 4 (headline doesn't appear on the slide because not a
block or friend)
:PROPERTIES:
:IN_COL: 1
:END:
- Item 5
- Item 6
** Frame 2
*** Element 1
- Item 1
- Item 2
Notes

- Note for item 2
Thanks again for drafting what should be a very useful addition to the
already insanely useful org-mode.
HTH,
Tom

Mark the handout and notes sections with different tags and export
the document twice, once with the handout tag selected and once
with the notes tag selected.
This sounds like it would work as well, though it probably results
in a very different org-file organization to make it work. I will
have to play around with the various options to see what works best
for me.
Thanks.

[Orgmode] Contracts in Orgmode
Hello all, please consider the following scenario: I have a contract with Client A; the contract is valid from January 1, 2010 until March 31, 2010. I want to clock all my work on tasks under this contract, and of course *only* while the contract is valid. 30 days before the expiry date, I'd like to get a reminder. After some googling and reading, I came up with the following for my org file Client.org: * Contract A %%(diary-block 01 01 2010 03 31 2010) ** TODO Renew Contract DEADLINE: 2010-03-31 Wed ** Task A :LOGBOOK: ** Task B :LOGBOOK: I want to log the hours I spend on Task A and Task B, but as mentioned before, *only* while the contract is valid. How can I get orgmode to pop up a message in the status line (or whatever it's called :)) when I'm trying to clock in Task A or Task B before January 1, 2010 or after March 31, 2010?

Hi Thomas,

Aloha Carsten,
I've had a chance to look at your first draft of beamer support.
You've done a terrific job. So much of the draft is right that it
helps to focus thoughts on the parts that are candidates for
discussion and possible change.
Thanks for the very positive feedback!
Along those lines, I don't think using headlines for
\begin{columns} ... \end{columns} works very well. I think
headlines should be reserved for sectioning, frames, elements of
frames (blocks and friends), and notes. Once a headline level has
been designated for frames (n), then headline n+1 becomes an element
of the frame, and headline n+2 becomes notes for the frame
(following Daniel Martins' lead).
Yes, this is another possibility in the notes-contest - I consider
that discussion as still running and not settled.
To my mind, columns are attributes of a frame, so they might better
be handled as a property of the frame. Frame elements are
specifically assigned to a column, or not, using a property.
You might or might not have noticed that the current
implementation is already one iteration further than the
first draft, and I have already followed a path which does
not encourage the use of special levels for the columns
environment. Instead, it marks elements that *start* a new column.
You proposal is different, but has the disadvantage that each element
has to be labeled as being part of a column. What is the advantage
of this approach? Maybe that it is possible to have an element that is
*after* the columns, spanning again the whole frame, before another
element starts a new columns environment.
I can see that this
is desirable, but maybe it would be better to mark column starts
as I am doing now, and then maybe mar an element that is outside
of the column. The reason why this approach seems (to me!) better is
that it is the shorter path from an outline to frames with columns.
So on a slide with 10 items, you'd need to mark all ten, while I
need to mark only two in order to distribute the items over two
columns.
- Carsten
P.S. I am also not entirely sure if I understand how exactly
your setup below should look in LaTeX - maybe you can also show
the desired LaTeX output?
Roughly, this would yield the following syntax, which ought to
export fairly cleanly with the HTML and LaTeX exporters.
#+BEAMER_FRAME_LEVEL 2

Mark the handout and notes sections with different tags and export
the document twice, once with the handout tag selected and once
with the notes tag selected.
This sounds like it would work as well, though it probably results
in a very different org-file organization to make it work. I will

Minimizing the number of keystrokes is important, especially among org-

other advantages, too, including more flexibility in the layout.
I'm pleased to learn that the limitation about full width elements
after columns noted in the draft manual can be overcome, and look
forward to working with the next draft.
Thanks again for all that you do.
