[Orgmode] Re: Problem with sectioning function for LaTeX export
Hi Carsten,
thanks for your reply!
At Tue, 27 Apr 2010 17:44:07 +0200,
Carsten Dominik wrote:
I think it must be
(Heading \section[year]{%s} \section*[year]{%s})
Note the %s for the heading, and also it i just one flat list of 3
items.
And yes, this is not too well documented.
I tried that actually but to no avail. I tracked down the problem to the
following code in org-latex.el
(if (consp (cdr sec))
(setq start (nth (if num 0 2) sec)
end (nth (if num 1 3) sec))
(setq start (if num (car sec) (cdr sec
For a flat list as you suggested sec is (\section[year]{%s}
\section*[year]{%s}). The thing is that then (consp (cdr sec)) evaluates to
true, which I think is not the supposed behaviour. Replacing (cdr sec) by (cadr
sec) would fix this. Is this a bug or just me being too stupid?
On another subject: Wouldn't it be nice if the properties of the current
headline would be accessible by the sectioning function? I think that would
proof very powerful to create customized export classes (together with
customized latex commands). And I guess it would be quite easy to implement,
right?
Anyway, thanks for your help (and of course for your great work on org-mode, I
really love it!)

I'm not sure what either of you is saying here. C-c C-j works very
simply: the little help window pops up but the key sequences (arrows

RET at which point the popup disappears and I'm in the original buffer

Would it be reasonable to move the documentation for RG org-export-generic into the contrib/ directory of org-mode? It RG seems ... suboptimal to have this package be maintained in the org RG git repo, but its documentation in the worg git repo. At least from RG my PoV this raises the bar for keeping the documentation up-to-date RG and synchronized to a pretty high level. I'll let Carsten answer questions like that ;-) The reason for this is the following. Many of the contributed packages where written by people who were active in Org-mode for a while and then less so. Many of these package had no documentation at all. So I started a page on WOrg where this documentation can be added and edited by other users, with quite some success - now most package do have documentation. Keeping documentation for a contributed package the the org-repo would be OK, but there would be no mechanism to automatically put the latest version up on on the web. Changing this would require a volunteer who commits to keep the documentation of contributed packages in a consistent and web-publishable way in the contrib directory. Here's the particular problem for org-export-generic --- maybe there's a solution: org-export-generic is primarily data-driven. To specify an export technique, you populate a very big data structure using a macro with what look like common-lisp keywords. Here's an example: (org-set-generic-type tikiwiki '(:file-suffix .txt :key-binding ?U ;; lifted from wikipedia exporter :header-prefix :header-suffix :title-format-= %s =-\n :date-export nil :toc-exportnil :body-header-section-numbers nil :body-section-prefix \n :body-section-header-prefix(! !! !!! ! !! !!! ) :body-section-header-suffix( \n \n \n \n \n \n) :body-line-export-preformated t ;; yes/no/maybe??? :body-line-format %s :body-line-wrapnil :body-line-fixed-format%s\n :body-list-format * %s\n :body-number-list-format # %s\n ;;:body-list-prefix LISTSTART ;;:body-list-suffix LISTEND :blockquote-start \n^\n :blockquote-end^\n\n :body-newline-paragrapht )) The problem is that this is VERY difficult to document as the set of keywords expands (e.g., I add :body-newline-paragraph, :blockquote-start and :blockquote-end). These aren't arguments, so they can't get documented in the code in a docstring. org-set-generic-type is a function, not a mode, so there's no docstring for the mode to hold the documentation. This is already not working, AFAICT, the worg docs don't seem to be complete or accurate. I'm pretty convinced from general code and document-writing practice that the best solution would be one that puts the documentation as close to the code as possible. If this were common-lisp, I would add a new method to the DOCUMENTATION generic function, so that one could say (documentation :body-newline-paragraph :org-export-keyword) Then we could add a declaration macro, and put the docstring there: (def-generic-export-keyword :body-newline-paragraph :boolean Should newlines ONLY be used as paragraph breaks. If the associated value is true, then org-export-generic will flow contiguous paragraphs into one long line, adding newlines only where there is a blank line. Should be coupled with a value for :body-line-format that does NOT contain a newline character, e.g., \%s \) I suppose we could add something like this, and possibly even write a script that would blat the docstring into something that Worg could display.

Currently, I'm using org-id-get-create to generate a unique ID for headings that I frequently go to in org-mode. * Foo :PROPERTIES: :ID: F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C :END: Then, I copy the newly created ID to the kill-ring, and paste it into a block like this: (global-set-key (kbd f6 f) (lambda () Goto Foo Org File (interactive) (org-id-goto F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C))) This will map F6-f to jump to Foo. I know that there are many ways to navigate org-files, but using the ID is great because it requires only two keystrokes. This works pretty good, except I'd like to improve three things: 1) I'd like to be able to see a menu of where I've mapped my shortcuts 2) I'd like to simplify the creation of these IDs and shortcut keys. 3) I have about 10 quick-keys now, so I have 30 lines of very similar code I'm sensing an org-babel type approach where I could define an org-mode table like this: | Name | Key | ID | | Foo| f6 f | 123456779 | Then, I could loop through the table, and for each row, I could run this code: (global-set-key (kbd COLUMN 2) (lambda () COLUMN 1 (interactive) (org-id-goto COLUMN 3))) Before I do something like this, I'd like to know if anyone's done something similar or if anyone wants to chime in.

If you set it to a number, the week will always start on that day. The problem is that, if you are still in the current week, it might make sense to have the week start at today when you switch back to week view. But when you are further away from today, the week view must be constructed in a way that the day which was last shown in day view is also shown. Since you have opted to have your week view start at whatever weekday is today, Org assumes now that you want a week starting on the last shown day. H. I am not sure what would be best here. - Carsten I can live with that. I only set the agenda to start from the current day because I didn't really care about seeing days that had already gone by. I think what surprised me the most was that, once I went to a specific day, and then back to week mode, and I started on a different day, was that I couldn't reset it to what it had previously been without exiting the agenda and starting over. I don't consider it a problem, just 'the way it is'. Now that I know that is how it works, I can deal with it. No, sorry, that's not saying it correctly.

If there isn't a volunteer, perhaps we could place this document on Worg, and someone could periodically review the changes and judge whether they should be applied to the master copy on the Org website?

What remains are about 50 pages. A document with the same structure (even the same chapter numbers) as the manual. I am wondering if it would be useful to have this as a beginners document - or if the existence of this document would lead to more confusion than relief. http://orgmode.org/orgguide.pdf I don't see this a an alternative for the manual - just as an additional, rather static document, with little need for updates. The manual would continue to be the comprehensive and constantly updated document. Comments are welcome. Hi Carsten, I think this would be a good thing to have. It would be good to have active HTML links to the relevant main manual sections in PDF and HTML versions. (even if this is not encouraged by texinfo format). I'm tempted to suggest going even a little further than you have done. If you were to make it shorter, I would suggest removing the following sections, and to replace removed sections with very short non- technical advertisements for features that are covered in the main manual. - 2.8 Drawers - 3.2 Column width and alignment - 3.3 The Spreadsheet (4 rather technical pages) - 7.4 Property Inheritance and 7.5 Column View (do beginners really need properties at all ??) Dan I think it's a great idea. The R project has something called An Introduction to R for beginners, separate from the complete manual. I think that as a beginner, and wondering how to break into learning a new package, that reading the manual has certain negative psychological connotations that reading the intro document does not, not the least of which is the length of full manual. And since knowing just the basics of org can be immensely beneficial, I think it's even more reason to have a basic intro document. --Erik ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

At work I report my hours from Saturday through Friday. I often want a clock report of what I've worked on this week so I look at the week view and hit R and I have my report. Hopefully some of this description is useful and doesn't confuse you more :). Regards, Bernt That makes sense to me. I think I am just going to change it so that I see everything starting on Monday, and showing 7 days, as that will work fine here where I work. I _rarely_ work on Saturday or Sunday (which makes _me_ happy!) Dave ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Vim folding/syntax highlighting?
Hi Nathan Does it matter for you if the modal (i/ESC etc.) editor with the vi key bindings that you like to use is run by Vim or Emacs? If not, then you can use Emacs with viper-mode as a minor mode for the emulation of the vi key bindings together with org-mode as the major mode. This is how I use Emacs and it feels just like a Vim that would have the full implementation of the org-mode and more.

I think it must be

Note the %s for the heading, and also it i just one flat list of 3
items.
And yes, this is not too well documented.
I tried that actually but to no avail. I tracked down the problem to the
following code in org-latex.el
(if (consp (cdr sec))
(setq start (nth (if num 0 2) sec)
end (nth (if num 1 3) sec))
(setq start (if num (car sec) (cdr sec
For a flat list as you suggested sec is (\section[year]{%s}
\section*[year]{%s}). The thing is that then (consp (cdr sec)) evaluates to true, which
I think is not the supposed behaviour. Replacing (cdr sec) by (cadr sec) would fix this. Is this a
bug or just me being too stupid?
On another subject: Wouldn't it be nice if the properties of the current
headline would be accessible by the sectioning function? I think that would
proof very powerful to create customized export classes (together with
customized latex commands). And I guess it would be quite easy to implement,
right?
Anyway, thanks for your help (and of course for your great work on org-mode, I
really love it!)
