[O] bug#32722: 26.1; Org-publish depend on non-free platform ?

Emacs should not advise people to load anything from outside Emacs
(counting ELPA).  So this needs to be deleted.

If htmlize is useful, we should put it into Emacs.
Is there some obstacle to that?

[O] Anyone using poly-org?

[William Denton]

https://github.com/polymode/poly-org

For quite a while now I've used polymode for Markdown and R Markdown, and it's 
great.  "Polymode is a framework for multiple major modes (MMM) inside a single 
Emacs buffer," as it explains.


A few days ago the polymode packages got updated and poly-org appeared, so I 
tried it.  It did a great job changing the mode when I moved from text into a 
source block (which is what it's for), but executing a source block I tried 
didn't work, I think because I was specifying :var variables and they weren't 
being passed in.


Is anyone on the list using it without problems?

Bill

Thanks a lot, I'll check it out!

Thanks, I'll be looking into this.

Good point!

[O] A MOOC on reproducible reasearch (using orgmode) is going to start on October 22

[Christophe Pouzat]

Dear all,

A MOOC on Reproducible Research 
 
prepared by Arnaud Legrand, Konrad Hinsen and myself together with the 
Learning Lab of the INRIA (the french research institute dedicated to 
computer sciences) is going to start on October 22.


Three independent paths can be followed, one using R/Rstudio, one using 
Python/Jupyter and, of course, one using orgmode with Python and R.


The course videos are in French with English subtitles. The course 
material is available in both English and French.


Christophe

PS An announcement in French 
 
is also available.

Tant que les lapins n'ont pas d'historiens, l'Histoire est racontée par les
chasseurs.

Le chef d'état-major, l'amiral William Leahy, un partisan du New Deal,
écrivit : « Les Japonais étaient déjà battus et prêts à capituler. L'usage
de cette arme barbare à Hiroshima et à Nagasaki n'a apporté aucune
contribution matérielle à notre combat contre le Japon. » Les États-Unis,
poursuivit-il, « en tant que premier pays à utiliser cette bombe ont adopté
des normes éthiques semblables à celles des barbares du Haut Moyen Âge ».
En revanche, lorsqu'il fut informé de l'holocauste de Nagasaki, en revenant
de la conférence de Potsdam, à bord du croiseur Augusta, Truman fit part
de sa jubilation au commandant du bâtiment : « C'est la plus grande chose
de l'histoire. »

Re: [O] Documentation in ePub Format

[Colin Baxter]

There must be something here I don't understand. If you want epub why not
just go from org-manual.org directly to epub using
https://github.com/ofosos/ox-epub? Why do we need to go via texi?

Best wishes,
