Hi, David -- On 17.07.2013 14:02, da...@adboyd.com wrote: I've scanned through the manuals, and see no way to do this, but. Is there anyway to block out the contents of a result field in a table, until I export it into an html file? I'm keeping track of my hours worked, with the dollar amounts paid calculated, and I don't want anyone wandering by my desk to be able to see how much I am being paid. Then I want the amount to show in the .html file that I export to have signed off on. I can't tell you how to hide the contents of a field, but this might serve your purpose, assuming that you're paid a regular hourly wage. How about setting a constant (see http://orgmode.org/org.html#References and search for Named References)? You can do this in a property in the table. Have a column formula that multiplies the number of hours worked times the constant. For day-to-day purposes, you'd define the constant as 0 or 1. When it's time to export and print your html file, change the constant to your actual hourly rate and recalculate. -- John Rakestraw
Re: [O] Help with new exporter
Success! Thanks to all for your help. I really do appreciate your time. I cannot figure out why I'm getting the brackets that no one else is getting (Rasmus -- my problem is that they're there and I don't want them), but I now have a filter that will take them out: --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun jr-org-delete-brackets-from-tex-file (text backend info) (replace-regexp-in-string \\[\\] text)) (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions 'jr-org-delete-brackets-from-tex-file) --8---cut here---end---8--- Now to explore how to implement this only when I'm using the exam document class, perhaps by using a derived backend. (It may be that it won't cause any problems with other classes, but it seems sloppy to have it working all the time, no?) Thanks to Robert for the detailed and careful responses, to Charles for suggesting the filters, and to Rasmus for the example that helped me straighten me out at the end. And I can't resist an aside to Nick -- I've really appreciated both the tone and the content of your detailed contributions to this list over the years. I find it difficult to believe that you're more pessimistic than I am, but I take some odd pleasure in making something work that you thought wouldn't work. ;-) --John -- John Rakestraw

Yes, I already had a sed script that would work -- just doggedly trying to do it all in one org step. I hope you are ultimately successful in producing exams that look exactly like you want them, using these mechanisms. But I have my doubts - you have won a battle, but the war is still raging afaict. OTOH, if you prove me wrong, I would be delighted! Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something (if so, please leave me alone in my ignorance at least for a bit), but I'm thinking I've won this particular war -- at least, I'm now able to use the exam document class to produce an exam formatted to match my expectations. --John -- John Rakestraw
Re: [O] Help with new exporter
Hi, Robert --
This gets me still closer. Using the revised class definition, I get
exactly what I need except that I'm still left with square brackets in
tex file. That is, I want this:
\begin{questions} or \begin{parts}
but instead I get this:
\begin[]{questions} or \begin[]{parts}
(Those two places are now the only places where the empty square
brackets show up, and I don't have any of the empty curly brackets.)
If I remove those square brackets and run latex on the changed file,
then I get what I want in the pdf.
I was using a fairly recent version (8.0.3) from git; I've now upgraded
to 8.0.5 from git and get the same result.
I see Charles's suggestion to define a filter to take out the brackets
(thanks for that) -- I'm afraid I'm on the edge of my knowledge so I'll
need more time to sort that one out.
Thanks for your help.

Re: [O] Help with new exporter
Hi, list --
I understand the value of working on this myself -- what better way to
learn? -- but after a few hours of reading the docs and scouring the
list, I've reached the point of seeking at least a hint for where to go.
(There's much more information higher in this thread, but I'm trying to
focus rather narrowly on the problem here to keep the email relatively
short.)
I'm trying to export to a pdf, using Phil Hirschhorn's exam.cls. The
document class definition I have (thanks, Robert!) gets me almost to
where I need to be. However, it leaves me with square brackets at
several points in the tex file. I need to delete those brackets.
That is, I need to change \begin[]{questions} to
{\begin{questions}.
Following Charles's advice, I'm trying to define and use a filter.
However, I know little enough about LaTeX and lisp that I can't figure
out why what I have isn't working. At the risk of making it very clear I
know even less than nothing, here's what I've worked up:
--8---cut here---start-8---
(defun jr-org-delete-brackets-from-tex-file
(text backend info)
(while (re-search-forward \\[] nil t)
(replace-match ))
text)
(add-to-list 'org-export-filter-final-output-functions
'jr-org-delete-brackets-from-tex-file)
--8---cut here---end---8---
This doesn't work.
Can someone at least give me a hint on what I need to do differently?
Thanks very much.

[O] Help with new exporter
Greetings, list --
I've been using Philip Hirschhorn's exam documentclass
(http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls) for several years to produce my
exams. I've been writing the exams in org-mode and using the exporter to
produce the pdf.
I've recently moved to org 8.0. (I like it!) I've successfully
converted all of my other export class definitions, but I can't figure
out how to define the exam class so that I can export my exams. I've
pasted below the class definition that worked with the previous exporter
(I know it's clumsy, but it worked) and also a sample version of what I
need in the tex file.
(I know I could just write the tex file directly, but it's nice to have
all of the course materials included in human-readable form in the
course org file.)
My problem is that I can't get the exporter to produce chunks like
this:
\begin{questions}
\question
A paragraph describing how the students should answer the following
questions.
\begin{parts}
\part
A multi-line question
\part
Another multi-line question
\end{parts}
\end{questions}
Thanks for whatever advice anyone can offer.

Hi John,
Many thanks for the hint. I tried something similar, it works when I
export (using L) to temporary buffer but not when I use the usual [l] or
[d] export options. Is there a different hook that needs to be used
here? Many thanks.
My set-up works when I export to pdf (using the [d] export option).
Perhaps you could post your adaptation and someone can figure out why your
function doesn't work.

So far as I know, I've changed nothing in my set-up since last week, when
I successfully exported the exam that I just finished grading. I have,
however, upgraded org in the meantime.
I realize that this could well be user error, but I can't find what it is.
And my students are going to be pretty unhappy if I don't return these
exams tomorrow. Can someone suggest what I might check?

[Orgmode] question about export to latex
Hi --
I'm trying to construct an org-export-latex-class to use with Philip
Hirschhorn's exam.cls (http://www-math.mit.edu/~psh/#ExamCls). The
basic structure required in the tex file is this:
\begin{questions}
\question
Here's question 1.
\begin{parts}
\part
Here's part a of question 1.
\part
Here's part b of question 1.
\end{parts}
\question
Here's question 2.
\end{questions}
My question is how do I write the class to account for the opening and
closing of the question/part environments and also designate each
individual question/part element. I'm now working with this:
(\\begin{questions} \\end{questions} \\begin{questions} \\
\\end{questions}) (\\question . \\question*)
(\\begin{parts} \\end{parts} \\begin{parts} \\
\\end{parts}) (\\part . \\part*))
but that (a) seems inelegant and (b) introduces a problematic blank
line in the resulting tex file that messes up the numbering scheme in
the resulting pdf.
I'd appreciate any advice and/or pointers to help on this one.
Thanks.

[Orgmode] bug in org-latex.el
Hi, List --
I'm reluctant to post this to the list, because I know next to nothing
about lisp. But here goes.
I'm writing in org and exporting to pdf via C-C C-E d. The exporter was
stumbling over a URL in the text, with the error message indicating
that org-export-latex-protect-special is void. I made two small
changes in org-export.el; now the export works and the URL is indeed
clickable in the pdf. See the patch below.
Of course, I could well have broken something

Re: [Orgmode] Use remember to file an item to a list
Hi Alan -- I have found a need for a remember template to add a row to a table in which I have been keeping a series of data on (for what it's worth) CPU and GPU temperatures. This could be useful in a number of contexts. A remember template would save some time, each time data is entered. Not sure this is the best way, but I do this with a remember template including prompts for properties (so, for example, you would have a template prompting you for CPU temps Nd GPU temps), and then use columnview to display the relevant information in columns. See http://orgmode.org/manual/Capturing-column-view.html#Capturing-column-view Someday (When I Have Time) I'm going to investigate org-collector.el, which I think might be better.

[Orgmode] org-feed broken?
Hi -- Emacs 22.3.1 Org-mode latest fetch from git repository Several weeks ago I tested org-feed.el. I suppose I could be losing my mind, but I'm quite sure I had it working. I'm only now getting around to integrating the use of reQall into my regular practice, and I've discovered that the attempt to update the feed yields the error message invalid function: ignore-errors. C-h v indeed indicates that ignore-errors is not defined. ignore-errors is called three times in org-feed.el (lines 317, 558, and 562). Each of the lines is identical: (ignore-errors (kill-buffer feed-buffer)) If I comment out these lines, then the rss feed from reQall is downloaded successfully. I don't know lisp (or any programming language). Can someone give me an idea whether I'm running any risk of data loss by running org-feed.el without these calls? And am I correct in assuming that ignore-errors is a function introduced in emacs 23? If so, can I get the definition and install it in my .emacs configuration as a holdover until I upgrade to emacs 23?

[Orgmode] org-protocol and missing server-delete-client function
Hi -- I'm a simple guy, not a coder, and only a little emacs-savvy. However, this post might save some people some frustration. (And it might prompt someone more emacs-savvy than I to teach me something.) I faced a challenge getting org-protocol to work. I'm running the latest org-mode from git on a Fedora 10 box. Emacs version 22.3.1. I set up for org-protocol in emacs and in firefox (following the instructions at http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php).

Re: [Orgmode] Record extra info for each time block
Hi -- I'm still wondering how to do several things... like this one: regarding a headline, it is possible to clock the amount of time you worked on it. But sometimes, you also need to record some other information related to that time block, for example, the distance you had to drive to go to the meeting or some costs (like parking costs) that you had to pay for it. Example: * Project1 ** Meetings :LOGBOOK: CLOCK: [2009-03-02 mon. 10:00]--[2009-03-02 mon. 12:30] = 2:30 15 kilometers CLOCK: [2009-03-03 tue. 09:30]--[2009-03-03 tue. 12:30] = 3:00 15 kilometers + 12,00 EUR :END: Is there a way to record this information? If not, what is your advice? Check out the variable org-log-note-clock-out. Set it to t and it you'll be asked for a note each time you clock out. The note is recorded just after the time block. -- John Rakestraw ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] agenda formatting
Hi -- I'd like to export my agenda to an html page, and I'd like to do regularly with a cron job. I've set up the custom agenda view, and use the batch processing described here: http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-agenda-elsewhere.html#Using-the-agenda-elsewhere When I export the custom agenda using C-c a e interactively from within emacs, the agenda.html file has all the formatting of the usual agenda within org -- colored and bold fonts as I expect them to be. However, when I create the agenda using this command from the command line: emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda e)' all of the text in agenda.html is the same color. In addition, much of the text in the html version is italicized. Looking at the html source of the two different versions, I see that the CSS style settings are different, so the export process of the batch file is picking up a different css style sheet than the one picked up by the export process called within emacs. (I found the file org.css in my org git directory, but that seems to have still different settings for faces.) I've not changed any of the default face settings. Should the formatting in the html file produced by the batch process be the same as the formatting produced using C-c a e within emacs. Or, in other words, is there a problem with my set-up?

Re: [Orgmode] agenda formatting
Replying to myself, just in case others have this question...
Hi --
I'd like to export my agenda to an html page, and I'd like to do
regularly with a cron job. I've set up the custom agenda view, and
use the batch processing described here:
http://orgmode.org/manual/Using-the-agenda-elsewhere.html#Using-the-agenda-elsewhere
When I export the custom agenda using C-c a e interactively from
within emacs, the agenda.html file has all the formatting of the
usual agenda within org -- colored and bold fonts as I expect them to
be. However, when I create the agenda using this command from the
command line:
emacs -batch -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-batch-agenda e)'
all of the text in agenda.html is the same color. In addition, much of
the text in the html version is italicized.
Looking at the html source of the two different versions, I see that
the CSS style settings are different, so the export process of the
batch file is picking up a different css style sheet than the one
picked up by the export process called within emacs. (I found the file
org.css in my org git directory, but that seems to have still

I've not changed any of the default face settings.
Should the formatting in the html file produced by the batch process

Or, in other words, is there a problem with my set-up?
Apologies if there's an obvious answer to this -- my searches haven't
turned up anything.
Thanks --
With a little more digging, I've solved my problem. Not sure that this
is the best solution, because I still don't understand why running
org-batch-agenda from the command line wasn't picking up the same style
sheet as the export agenda command run interactively from within emacs.
However, inserting this in my org config file has agenda.htm looking
the same as it looks in the org buffer no matter agenda.htm is
generated:

[Orgmode] Can't make TODO dependencies work
Hi -- I'm eager to use the TODO dependencies feature, but I can't make it work. In my usual set-up, I (think I) have it set up correctly. (C-h C-v indicates that org-enforce-todo-dependencies is set to t.) However, the dependency simply isn't enforced. Nor is the ordered dependency enforced. I understand that it's likely a problem in my set-up, but I don't know where to check. However, after hours (literally -- yes, I'm a slow learner), I discovered what I hope is a clue to someone more knowledgeable than I. Given this simple test file: #+ARCHIVE: archive_cndls.org::* Finished Tasks and Projects #+SEQ_TODO: TODO STARTED DELEGATED AGENDA WATCH READ APPT | DONE \ DEFERRED CANCELED WAITING MAYBE #+TAGS: Placeholder(p) ATProgram(A) FacProgramming(F) ULI(U)Grants(G)\ Consultations (C) Supervisions(S) Misc(M) Teaching(T) ExCo(E) #+STARTUP: lognotestate #+Category: CNDLS #+ARCHIVE: archive_cndls.org:: #+LaTeX_CLASS: report # Time-stamp: 2009-02-01 11:26:41 jrake * TODO Main task :PROPERTIES: :ORDERED: t :END: ** TODO Subtask 1 ** TODO Subtask 2 + Dependencies work in one instance (#2 below), but they don't work in instances 1 and 3 -- 1. If I start emacs/org-mode with a minimal configuration and then open this file, dependencies still don't work. 2. If I start emacs/org-mode with a minimal configuration, open this file, then delete the header line beginning #+SEQ_TODO and refresh the settings, dependencies work. 3. If I start emacs/org-mode with my usual configuration, dependencies still don't work in this simple test file, even if I delete the SEQ_TODO line in its header. I set up my TODO list in each file, and there's no general set-up for these in my ordinary configuration. Any clues where else I should look?

A clarification re this part of my initial message: 2.

I realized that dependencies *do* work consistently in the minimal configuration.

I agree -- that's why I apologized for introducing that point. But they still don't work with my usual configuration. Well, if the value of org-blocker-hook is nil in this case, I am not surprised! Why is it nil? If you set the org-enforce... variables, the hook should be filled with the two functions. I don't know why it's nil. However, I've discovered a bit more. It seems that the problem is that my settings in my org-config file: (setq org-enforce-todo-dependencies t) (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible) (setq org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t) didn't prompt the required change in the value of org-blocker-hook. With these lines in my org config file, the values of the three variables are as expected, but the value of org-blocker-hook remains nil, even if I stop and re-start emacs. When I change the value of org-enforce-todo-dependencies using customize, then the value of org-blocker-hook is what it should be, and the dependencies work, even if I stop and re-start emacs. So presumably something else in my config file is keeping org-blocker-hook from being re-set? I'd prefer not to use the customize function, so I'd hoped to set it in my config file.

[Orgmode] checkboxes and agenda invisibility
I noticed today that, at least in my set-up, setting these variables this way: (setq org-agenda-dim-blocked-tasks 'invisible) (setq org-enforce-todo-checkbox-dependencies t) means that a TODO task with checkboxes doesn't get included in the agenda. However, the sub-tasks in the checkbox list don't get included, either. So the TODO task with checkboxes doesn't show up in the agenda. It makes sense given the way the variables work. However, I wonder if it makes more sense for a task with checklisted sub-tasks to be included in the agenda so that the tasks and sub-tasks don't get lost. Or, to put the point slightly differently, I think that a TODO that's blocked because it has dependent TODOs might be treated differently in agenda listings than a TODO that's blocked because it has dependent checklist items. Not a big deal to me because I don't typically use checkboxes for TODO items. But I thought I'd raise it for consideration. --John ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] additional bugs in latex export
Hi -- I'm starting to use latex export more, and noticed three problems related to tables: - If the first column in a table has an inactive time stamp, then strange things happen -- in various tests, I've seen only seemingly random cells from a long table exported, or sometimes only the header row (that doesn't have the time stamp in it) and no other rows exported. - If the text in the first column begins with a left bracket, then the first cell in each row is blank. - If a table is long enough that it should continue on a following page, there's no page break -- instead, lines continue into the bottom margin. What fits on that page prints, but nothing else prints. If I break the table at the bottom of the page with an empty line, the rest of the table continues as expected on the following page. -- John Rakestraw ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I should admit (for those who have not been following this thread) that I had this working in Bastien's earlier version, so following Nick's new instructions (and Ben's instructions) means looking through those instructions to make the requisite changes to Bastien's earlier version. Three points that might be relevant: - my org-annotation-helper.el file incorporates the change suggested by Carsten's recent email in this thread: - (org-remember nil ?w) instead of (org-remember ?w) - my template uses %:region instead of %i to set the location for the region copied in the browser to be inserted. - I updated my system this week from Fedora 7 to Fedora 9. It appears that he new version of Firefox (3.0b5) changes the naming convention for the network.protocol-handler inserted in about.config: - network.protocol-handler.app.remember instead of network.protocol-handler.remember (I can't verify this because I can't figure out how to delete the network.protocol-handler to start from scratch, but it appears that if you just set up the bookmarklet and then click on it, Firefox 3 will ask you for the application -- you then navigate to the shell script, double-click on it, and firefox sets up network.protocol-handler for you.) If it's not working for you, then I think (though remember I'm not a programmer ;-) that the problem is likely either in your template or in the bookmarklet set-up. You might start troubleshooting by following Dan's suggestion to test your template by starting emacs and then running this command from a shell prompt: org-annotation-helper 'remember://http%3A//orgmode.org/ \ ::remember::Org-Mode%20Homepage::remember::Notes' If that opens up your template with the proper insertions, then check out the bookmarklet.

I sent it to the list in response to Dan's query, but I think the only tweak I added to the code (it's been months, so I'm not sure) was to comment out one line that seemed redundant to me. These other guys are the coders. Alan, just to reinforce Dan's encouragement -- I remember being a little puzzled when I first tried to set this up, but the perseverance was well worth it -- it's been a great tool to get annotated links into an org file collection. You're right, there are three bits of code -- the bookmarklets added to your browser, the shell script that Dan calls the handler, and the org-annotation-helper.el module. Then you have your org-remember template, but you don't even have to write that -- just use Dan's. To set it all up, just work through Dan's step-by-step listed in the commentary on the code. It's not nearly as complicated as you might think -- and you can come back with particular questions if you encounter problems. (Don't mean to be pushy or glib -- just a satisfied user) --John Hi, I have now added this file to the contrib/lisp directory.

Hope this will work correctly...
Yes, it works great. However, to make the remember function work I had
to add a line to the lisp, so that the relevant section now reads:
(cond ((equal proto remember)
(kill-new orglink) ;; added to put the link in the kill-ring
(org-remember ?w))
((equal proto annotation)
(message Copied '%s' to the kill-ring. orglink)
(kill-new orglink))
I don't fully understand why I needed to add the line -- all I know is
that without it the link isn't in the kill-ring when I yank it.
I couple this with this template:
(web-clip ?w * %^{Paste page title/URL}\n %u\n :PROPERTIES:
\n :END: \n %? ~/plans/webclips.org)
I suspect I'll use this a lot -- thanks for setting it up. (And I
understand that once we have the functionality in the template to yank
the kill-ring to a point indicated by %c it will be simpler still.)
The next question is whether the link and perhaps other bits of
information can be passed as variables instead of via the kill-ring. I
ask because it would be great to block (and perhaps copy) a section of
a web page, click on the bookmarklet, and then see a template with the
link/title and the section of text that I blocked/copied already
entered. Something like this:
* link:[[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/11/07/][A news article]]
[2007-11-07 Wed]
:PROPERTIES:
Here is the text I blocked/copied from the web page. It might be 3 or
4 sentences, and it might be set off somehow either by quotation
marks or perhaps a different indent level.
point is here for any notes I want to add to the entry
I don't know whether others will use this functionality. I confess that
part of my interest stems from my experience with the only program I
miss from my days using windows software -- a program called Zoot
(http://www.zootsoftware.com/). Zoot does many things, but one thing I
really like is that it makes it very easy to store, annotate, and
organize links to web pages.

Re: [Orgmode] Org Remember idea
I've started using Remember mode more and more, and it has given me an idea for new piece of functionality. %c - insert clipboard/kill-ring at point This is for 'auto' pasting links or snippets of text from my browser into an org file. I used planner mode for a while before switching to org mode, and still occasionally look in on planner to see what they're doing. A couple of weeks ago I stumbled on this in the list planner-el-discuss: Ever wanted to create a planner annotation or start remember directly from within an external web browser, say Firefox? Here's how I do it. I've registered special protocol handlers in the browser, remember:// and annotation://. I've configured these handlers to call a script that passes the information to a running Emacs session using emacsclient/gnuclient. The remember/annotation handlers are invoked through bookmarklets (bookmarks which execute JavaScript code). The remember:// protocol starts M-x remember with a planner link for the current website filled in, using the document title as the description of the link, just like planner-w3m does. The annotation:// protocol handler works similar to `planner-annotation-as-kill': it puts a planner link in the kill ring. I would really like to have something like this for org. The poster actually included the lisp code, the browser protocols, and the script that did all this. I know next to nothing about lisp so was unable to do anything with it, but is it possible that it could be easy for someone who knows this stuff to adapt it to org? In hopes that someone will look at it, I've posted the code below.

Hi Bastien -- Please tell me if the code above is working for you. As I said, I didn't test it enough. Thanks very much for this. I'm not sure that I have it working as you intended. When I click on the annotate bookmarklet in firefox pops me into emacs (into an already existing buffer) with a message that the link and page title are in the kill-ring. Yanking gives me a nice link to the web page, with the page title as the link text. When I click on the remember bookmarklet, I'm taken to my standard org-remember template screen asking me to select one of my templates. The page link and title don't show up -- can I write a template that incorporates this information? I fear that I'm just being dense and that there's something obvious that I'm not seeing. Any hints?

Even if it's Monday and I'm thinking about rescheduling a task that's now scheduled for Wednesday, I'm still inclined to think about the new date relative to today rather than relative to Wednesday.

This is where my ignorance gets in the way. I'd assumed that the leading hyphens would mean that the tab would preserve the additional indentation of the nested items 2a and 2b. But I think I'd still prefer it.

If user want to move the item deeper, 'M-right' can be used. I agree with Leo -- or, rather, his proposal matches more nicely the way I work. I often have lists with some items annotated and others not annotated -- *** headline - item 1 Some notes about item 1, sometimes just a line, but sometimes several lines - item 2 - item 3 Notes here.

Re: [Orgmode] Possible bug with tags
Hi all -- I've seen this behavior, but (a) I've not been able to find a pattern -- sometimes it does what the op describes and sometimes it doesn't and (b) I'm swamped at work and with a home remodeling project now and haven't had the time to try to find the pattern. That's why I haven't posted about it before. But I can confirm that there's a problem somewhere. --John On Thu, 7 Sep 2006 20:14:19 +0200 Carsten Dominik [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: This works correctly for me.

Re: [Emacs-orgmode] Release of org-mode 4.30
Running emacs 21.3.1 on Windows xp. I've installed org-mode 4.30 (I think), following the new directions in the online documentation: --org.el, org-publish.el, and org-intall.el are in my load path --I've byte-compiled org.el and org-publish.el --I've added (require 'org-install) to .emacs (I also deleted several lines previously in .emacs but now provided in org-install.el) I say I think I've installed it, because after I re-start emacs, m-x org_version returns 4.29. Also, in the messages generated during the start, I see these lines: Loading org (compiled; note, source file is newer)... Loading easy-mmode...done Loading org (compiled; note, source file is newer)...done The time stamp on org.el is 14:17 today. The time stamp on org.elc is 09:54. Since it's only 10:10 today where I am, I'm assuming that the time stamp on org.el comes from Carsten's time zone. I've double-checked and I know that I've byte compiled the org.el file in the path (with the 14:17 time stamp). But I don't know why it's loading it twice. Also, the new checklist feature doesn't work. I insert a list: * Checklist - [_] Item 1 - [_] Item 2 If I do m-return at the end of one of the items I get this in messages: Debugger entered: nil org-insert-item() org-insert-heading(nil) org-meta-return(nil) * call-interactively(org-meta-return) If I do c-c while on a checklist I get this in the minibuffer: Symbol's function definition is void: org-at-item-checklet-p Any ideas?

Thanks and applause to David O'Toole for this great extension. - Publishing is also documented in the manual. - Checkboxes in plain list items, following up on Frank Ruell's idea. A plain list item starting with [_] is treated as a checkbox. You can toggle it with C-c C-c. Example: * Shopping list - [_] Butter - [X] Milk - [_] Oranges If you make new items with M-RET and the current item has a check box, the new item will - Modified installation: Autoloads have been collected in org-install.el. So you no longer need to copy autoload forms into .emacs when I add functions to be autoloaded. This also applied for org-publish.el, the corresponding autoload forms are also part of org-install.el Please take a fresh look at the installation section of the manual - Logging (org-log-done) is now a #+STARTUP option. This makes it possible to set this on a per-file basis. For example: #+STARTUP: logging - File links inserted with C-c C-l will use relative paths if the linked file is in the current directory or a subdirectory of it. - New variable `org-link-file-path-type' to specify preference for relative and absolute paths. - New CSS classes for tags, timestamps, timestamp keywords. So if you have written your own style, you may want to modify it an accomodate the new classes. - Bug and typo fixes. As usual: There are *always* more bugs. Thanks to everyone who has reported bugs.

[Emacs-orgmode] colorless and linkless
Hi -- (Please excuse the double-posting if any -- I'm fairly certain that my first attempt to post this was unsuccessful.) I've been using org mode (now at version 4.27) in Linux (FC4, current updates, emacs 21.4.1) for a few months. I really like it -- thanks to Carsten and others who have contributed. Everything was working well until sometime last month. However, at that time the colors and links stopped appearing on the screen. The TODO entries show up, and I can cycle through the different TODO keywords, but there's no color. In addition, the links don't show as links. (I'm syncing my org files with my work computer, where I'm running emacs on Windows XP. The links and colors show up there as expected.) This change happened at a time when I was working with my org-init.el file (called by .emacs) to set up an integration with remember.el. It also happened about the time that Carsten changed the font-lock faces for org mode. I mention both of these things, but (a) I can't see how the changes I made to org-init.el might have caused the problem and (b) I think that if changes Carsten made caused the problem then others would surely have seen it. Obviously, though, I know much less about emacs than others on this list. Can someone please suggest some things that I can check?
