I haven't sent out a updated version. I have some updates sitting on my hard
drive at home. On top of that I'd like to get some nice LaTeX export of the
agenda included in the printout. I sent a proposal for the LaTeX to Bastien and
hope that he'll manage to integrate it in org-latex.el.

I'll send out an updated version of the Makefile tonight.

Attached is an updated version of org2pocketMod. As before you need to
have the pdfjam tools installed. Also you might want to add (setq
cal-tex-diary t) to your .emacs, so diary entries actually show up in
your printout.

The Makefile now does some changes on the LaTeX produced by
cal-tex. This will quote @, and change some of the font sizes.

This is just a temporary workaround, but it might be enough in most
cases. It performs a few checks on the LaTeX output so that links and
priorities are correctly displayed in the verbatim environment.

This looks very useful. The only problem on my system is that no

 I tried your Makefile but could not get any output (yet).  I think it's
 mainly because I don't have any of pdfnup/pdfjoin/pdf90 - where does it
 come from?  On what system?

You need to install pdfjam. Most distros have it. Otherwise get it from
http://www2.warwick.ac.uk/fac/sci/statistics/staff/academic/firth/software/pdfjam.
  
 Maybe a bit more of explanation on how to use this Makefile would also
 be useful.

You basically just type make :-). This will produce two pdfs: pocketMod.pdf and
hipsterPDA.pdf.

pocketMod.pdf can be folded and cut according to the instructions on
pocketmod.com. In my experience it is much to small to be usefull. More tweaking
(e.g. with the fonts is needed).

hipsterPDA.pdf gives you two pages that you can cut in four sheets each. This
will give you eight sheets of size A6 (105mm x 148mm), which can then be clipped
together in the style of the hipster pda 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hipster_PDA).

I've run into that problem also and avoided it by rewriting the one diary entry
that caused the problem :-). Yes, this problem should be reported on
emacs-devel. There is even some code in cal-tex that seems to deal with this
problem, but it is commented out for whatever reason.

Leo This probably should be reported to emacs-devel.

As an interim measure, if you patch the Makefile as follows:

Change:

%.dvi: %.tex
$(LATEX) $^
to
%.dvi: %.tex
sed 's/\\verb|@|/\@/g'  $  /tmp/temp-org-file.; mv 
/tmp/temp-org-file. $
$(LATEX) $^

On the basis that any '@'s get changed to \verb|@|, it just escapes
them. Clearly only a temporary measure!

For now I only can do this:

And I need to fix the .tex files manually because they won't compile
otherwise. Hopefully we can find some workaround!  Thanks again,

 %%(org-diary :scheduled :timestamp :deadline)

 FYI : Putting that in my .diary file caused me to get an empty agenda.

 Can you explain to me how that line works? And Is the  supposed to be
 there?

I guess this should somehow appear in (info (org)Weekly/Daily agenda)

See the docstring of `org-diary':

(org-diary rest args)

Return diary information from org-files.
This function can be used in a sexp diary entry in the Emacs calendar.
It accesses org files and extracts information from those files to be
listed in the diary.  The function accepts arguments specifying what
items should be listed.  The following arguments are allowed:

   :timestampList the headlines of items containing a date stamp or
 date range matching the selected date.  Deadlines will
 also be listed, on the expiration day.

   :sexp List entries resulting from diary-like sexps.

   :deadline List any deadlines past due, or due within
 `org-deadline-warning-days'.  The listing occurs only
 in the diary for *today*, not at any other date.  If
 an entry is marked DONE, it is no longer listed.

   :scheduledList all items which are scheduled for the given date.
 The diary for *today* also contains items which were
 scheduled earlier and are not yet marked DONE.

   :todo List all TODO items from the org-file.  This may be a
 long list - so this is not turned on by default.
 Like deadlines, these entries only show up in the
 diary for *today*, not at any other date.

The call in the diary file should look like this:

   %%(org-diary) ~/path/to/some/orgfile.org

Use a separate line for each org file to check.  Or, if you omit the file name,
all files listed in `org-agenda-files' will be checked automatically:

   %%(org-diary)

If you don't give any arguments (as in the example above), the default
arguments (:deadline :scheduled :timestamp :sexp) are used.
So the example above may also be written as

   %%(org-diary :deadline :timestamp :sexp :scheduled)

The function expects the lisp variables `entry' and `date' to be provided
by the caller, because this is how the calendar works.  Don't use this
function from a program - use `org-agenda-get-day-entries' instead.

Sure. Here's the error message again:

`

The error appears when it gets to the first rule to use an emacs batch
command.

I'm using Emacs 22.1.1, Debian, bash. I'm not sure what else to tell
you.

 This I don't understand. How do you get your deadlines to show up 
 in your calendar?

 %%(org-diary :scheduled :timestamp :deadline)

 in my ~/.diary file.

Ah, now I understand. That is also the reason why your calendar looks
so crowded. So far I've only used it to show the entries from my diary
file. 

My idea was to replace the year calendar with some export of the
agenda view, maybe of the next 14 days. So you'd have an overview of
your appointments (and only your appointments) for the next 4 weeks
and the next 3 months and finally an overview of all the tasks for the
next 14 days.

Now what would be really nice is if I could export the agenda view to
latex. I couldn't find any code in org-export-latex.el to do that. Am
I missing something, Bastien?

 I looked at cal-tex.el some more and it looks like it could use some
 love :-). The font sizes for the ISO-style weekly calendar for example
 is hard coded to 11pt and the diary entries are hardcoded to be shown
 with \large\bf.

 Love for sell in orgmode list :)

Well, while it would be worthwile to do some enhancements to
cal-tex.el (some TODOs are mentioned in the Commentary section), there
is an easier way to massage the produced LaTeX code. As mentioned on
the emacswiki
(http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/emacs-en/CalendarPrinting) you can
add a hook to cal-tex-hook which can quote the @ or change the fonts
for example.

In essence this is the same as Pete's sed hack in the Makefile, just a
tad more integrated in Emacs. If this really makes such a great
difference in terms of a batch job I don't know.

No you're not. 

For now you can use `org-write-agenda' (C-x C-w) to export the agenda
view to HTML or postscript, depending on the extension you're using.
The postscript output is obtained with `ps-print-buffer-with-faces',
which might not be always very readable.

Then I guess being able to export the agenda to LaTeX makes sense.

Can you describe what would be the expected LaTeX output for you?

Thanks,

NB: I tried to add the .tex format to `org-write-agenda' by using the
verbatim content of the agenda buffer, but I'm not satisfied with this.
Was just a quick hack anyway.

Anything like the following would be really really nice:

Christian,

Because I've been trying something similar (but not as advanced), I'm
intrigued by the possibilities of your approach. Sadly, I can't run
your Makefile. I get an error[1]. Am I missing something?

About font size, I've found that for what we're trying to do, it helps
to replace \tiny with \small globally.

Also, a little gotcha I've found, which may catch some of us org-mode
GTD-ers: cal-tex.el does not check for the @ symbol when inputting
from the diary, and thus does not escape it, leading to latex-errors
on processing.
