[O] Emphasis in title export

2014-04-28 Thread William Kunkel
I have a title in which I need to have some text in italics. I tried this: #+TITLE: Analysis of Sartre's /No Exit/ But the slashes were just exported literally, instead of italicizing. This seemed like a pretty basic problem, but I've been unable to find anything about it via Google or in the

2014-04-15 Thread William Kunkel

[O] Org-Babel concise named scalar variables

2014-04-15 Thread William Kunkel
I'm just getting started using Org Babel and I've run into a bit of an annoyance that I can't seem to find an answer to in the Org Babel docs. I find myself wanting to use one variable in multiple code blocks, for example, the path to a file. Org Babel provides several mechanisms for including

[O] Navigating description lists

2014-04-07 Thread William Kunkel
I use description lists a lot in org documents, and I find myself following a certain pattern to add new ones: 1. Put the cursor on another item and hit M-RET to create a new item 2. Enter the first part of the list item 3. Hit RIGHT, RIGHT, RIGHT, SPACE 4. Enter the second part of

[O] Compiling Org Mode on Windows - date Bug?

2014-04-05 Thread William Kunkel
Hi all, I, for reasons I cannot control, have to use Windows. I've been using emacs and the version of org mode packaged with emacs. However, I've wanted to use org-drill, which as far as I understand requires compiling org-mode from source. I copied local.mk from the Emacs on Windows section
