Re: [Orgmode] Added support for habit tracking
Applied, thanks. - Carsten On Oct 20, 2009, at 9:36 PM, John Wiegley wrote: Ok, the following changes today have been submitted for inclusion: - Habit appears in mode-line when Habits are being displayed - Habits no longer use a DEADLINE, but .+1d/3d, to indicate a range. Use .+1d if the min and max are the same. - org-habit uses faces for all its colors, and appropriate colors have been chosen for dark backgrounds. - The consistency graph starts from the scheduled date, if that date precedes today and the first completed date. - Habits are now sorted according to a habit-specific priority scheme, based on Sciral's priority sorting method. This means that habits which demand more attention will shift to the top. Use 'P' in the agenda to see what the relative priorities are.

If it is something easy to do, an option to also turn- off the replacements of Greek letters by org-mode would be nice, but don't bother if it is to much work.

The problem is that when org-export-with-LaTeX-fragments is set to nil org-mode interprets underlines, hats and Greek letters and replace them in the generated HTML.

Thanks. - Carsten I agree that this is nice in most cases, but I need them to be left untouched, since they will be later interpreted by jsMath when I'm viewing the page in a browser that supports java-script. Therefore, my feature request is disabling this smart behavior of org-mode when latex fragments are not converted to images.

Advantages: - It's really pretty when you have all the fonts installed and you can zoom without any loss of quality. - No need to generate images when exporting + When you see the generated HTML page the jsMath script is run each time you reload the page.

If this is not done, jsMath will use images for the equations.

[Orgmode] New module: org-learn, incremental reading
The attached file, when loaded, provides two new commands: M-x org-smart-reschedule M-x org-agenda-smart-reschedule The latter being only for the *Org Agenda* buffer. You should use these commands on a scheduled entry, with state logging enabled for the DONE state. It then reschedules the item to a future date based on the SM-5 algorithm and a quality factor you are prompted for. To summarize the SM-5 algorithm: 1. After you read an item on the scheduled day, you hit M-x org- smart-reschedule. 2. You are then asked how well you remember what you just read, from 0-5: 5 - perfect response 4 - correct response after a hesitation 3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty 2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall 1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered 0 - complete blackout. 3. If your answer is 4 or 5, the item will not be repeated. If it is anything else, the item is rescheduled, to be read again on a future date. 4. Based on the quality of your response, AND the number of times you've read the item so far, the amount of time being reschedulings will vary. If your retention is good, the gaps grow wider; if it is poor, they grow shorter. 5. Your learning data is kept in a special property called :LEARN_DATA:. Do not modify this, as it controls how the algorithm reschedules after future repetitions, and based on past quality responses. More about this algorithm can be read here: http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm . This contribution is made in honor of Russell Adams, who drove all the way to New Jersey from Kennedy airport to visit me today, and who brought up the idea of implementing it, based on an earlier proposal by Pere Quintana Seguí (http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/17781 ).

In the end, it's all about what works for you, but I'd like to get some insights/opinions from you: For Next Actions, are you using a single list OR you organize them hierarchically under each project (in the projects list)? I started with the second one, putting each next action (TODO) item under its correspondent project, however, it quickly became too bloated, and a mix of projects, sub-projects and next-actions. Of course, org helps there with sparse trees and other functions to filter trees, but still, I found it was too complex, albeit more specific and I did felt I was more organized, even though I was getting lost. So, I just let go of my obsession about the perfect thing and decided to try a single Next Actions list, together with a Projects list. The next actions is a single list with all the actionable items from all the projects. I've lost the relationship between a next action item and a project, but I can do this easily by just looking at the action, having the system tell me is not that important. Usually, you define all actions for a project under the same hierarchy. You can decide how you want actions to be designated next (and projects to be designated project) -- using keywords or tags and have a custom agenda command collect the next actions for you from all agenda files in a single list. I define NEXT actions as a tag on some TODO item under the project hierarchy. I then pick NEXT actions off of the custom agenda view for NEXT actions using agenda filtering to limit the total number of things I'm looking at. -Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

You should use these commands on a scheduled entry, with state logging enabled for the DONE state. It then reschedules the item to a future date based on the SM-5 algorithm and a quality factor you are prompted for. To summarize the SM-5 algorithm: 1. After you read an item on the scheduled day, you hit M-x org- smart-reschedule. 2. You are then asked how well you remember what you just read, from 0-5: 5 - perfect response 4 - correct response after a hesitation 3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty 2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall 1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered 0 - complete blackout. 3. If your answer is 4 or 5, the item will not be repeated. If it is anything else, the item is rescheduled, to be read again on a future date. 4. Based on the quality of your response, AND the number of times you've read the item so far, the amount of time being reschedulings will vary. If your retention is good, the gaps grow wider; if it is poor, they grow shorter. 5. Your learning data is kept in a special property called :LEARN_DATA:.

Wow! This is great! I'm using Anki and Mnemosyne to manage spaced repetition right now, but integrating this with org-mode is /awesome/. Just one question... [snip] 5 - perfect response 4 - correct response after a hesitation 3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty 2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall 1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered 0 - complete blackout. 3. If your answer is 4 or 5, the item will not be repeated. In my own experience, material /always/ has to be repeated. Especially when you're first learning something, those perfect responses will turn real shaky if you wait three months before you look at the items again. I believe this is how Anki and Mnemosyne work, too. Anyhow, I will look at the code, as it's probably easy enough to tweak, but I just wanted to mention this issue. Coming back to previous perfects after too long and finding them fuzzy can be quite disappointing. :) Thanks again for this!

[Orgmode] visual-line-mode
Hello, I have a problem relating /emphasis/ which leads to a question related to visual-line-mode. 1) Now I use auto-fill-mode when working with org files. My problem is that when I want to emphasise a whole paragraph putting it between / and /, the paragraph doesn't show in emphasis if it is too long (usually more than two or three lines). But, if I put the same paragraph in one long line, it does show emphasised. 2) I've done a test using visual-line-mode. In this case, even visually the paragraph is multiline, the previous problem disappears, as it is, in fact, only one line. So, my questions are: a) Is that behaviour with emphasis on multiline long paragraphs normal? Is there a solution or it is a limitation on the software? b) Are visual-line-mode and org-mode good friends?

In the end, it's all about what works for you, but I'd like to get some insights/opinions from you: For Next Actions, are you using a single list OR you organize them hierarchically under each project (in the projects list)? I started with the second one, putting each next action (TODO) item under its correspondent project, however, it quickly became too bloated, and a mix of projects, sub-projects and next-actions. Of course, org helps there with sparse trees and other functions to filter trees, but still, I found it was too complex, albeit more specific and I did felt I was more organized, even though I was getting lost. So, I just let go of my obsession about the perfect thing and decided to try a single Next Actions list, together with a Projects list.

I use a single file which contains both next actions (NAs) and projects, with NAs living under the relevant project. NAs have TODO state and tags for the contexts. Well, that's not 100% true. My GTD file contains NAs and a more generic concept which I'm calling Categories, since a Category uses a CATEGORY property. Categories are just grouping items. Projects are a special kind of Category which a) have a TODO state (normal Categories do not) and b) tack a p_ onto the beginning of the CATEGORY label and c) have a project tag. Basically a project is a Category that you can finish and which can be immediately identified as a project with a query (because of the project tag). In this way, NAs always live under a Category (I have a Misc Category to catch NAs which don't seem to fit anywhere else), and some Categories are projects. I don't nest Categories into sub-Categories, but I think I could do it - projects are just Categories with some extra TODO state and tags, and heading level doesn't really enter into it. Similarly, NAs are TODO items which do NOT have the project tag. When I collect all my NAs into an agenda view, I immediately see the CATEGORY label in the first column and I can see which NAs belong to a project and which don't, since I tacked a p_ onto the Categories which represent projects. Also, my waiting list is defined as items in the WAITING state.

It seems like the biggest difference between Sage and Org-babel is that sage wraps all of it's component-languages into a single top level environment (which is basically python) and somehow puts the functionality of each language behind an API of function/library calls (I may be misunderstanding here). Where as babel doesn't provide any unified top level, but rather evaluates each language in it's own separate environment and allows it's supported languages to share results via a lowest-common-denominator of elisp and org-mode constructs (like tables). Although Sage and org-babel are very different, I think that Sage may be a good source of inspiration for org-babel. Probably the most practical way of using sage is though the notebook: a front-end that runs inside the browser and communicates with the sage server (may be remote or local). As soon as someone implements an emacs-run browser which can render org-mode files on demand and supports an elisp REPL we should be very close to similar functionality in Org-babel. :) In the sage notebook one creates worksheets. Each worksheet starts with a text area where you type the code. The main language is python, but others may be used if specified with a comment. When the code is evaluated any output is shown in addition to the last value. Therefore, the code , | print hello | 10 | print world | 9 | 15 ` will show , | hello | world | 15 ` This is similar to a combination of :results output and :results value in org-babel. A really nice feature is that if an image is created by the last command in the block it is automatically shown. Therefore, it doesn't matter which library was used to generate the plot as long as it creates an image (for instance, plotting to a file with matplotlib will shown the plot when the code is evaluated). Maybe the same approach could be used in org-mode. I'd be interested to see how sage captures images created by it's sub-languages. It looks to me like sage has tighter coupling with it's components (perhaps making more requirements of it's sub-languages) than org-babel. I know that for languages (like R) which support changing the default graphical output to a file it would be possible (in fact I believe Dan may already have this implemented to some degree) to automatically capture any image output and place it in the org-mode buffer. In the text area, RET only creates a new line, Shift+RET evaluates the code in the text area and creates a new one below the output keeping all the variables similar to the multiple source blocks within a single session in org-babel. Two things I find interesting is that you can easily evaluate all blocks in the worksheet (org-mode already has org-babel-execute-buffer) and if any block starts with the comment %hide the code is not shown, only its output. I think that a header argument :hide for a source block could be useful. There have been a couple of people expressing the desire to hide the body of source-code blocks recently. It seems that there is some need here which is not met by any of the existing source-block hiding methods - pressing tab while at the head of the source-code block - adding #+STARTUP hideblocks to the top of an org-mode file - saving source-code blocks as library-of-babel functions what behavior would you suggest results from a :hide header argument? That's my two cents. It is really amazing what you can do with org-mode and org-babel and I'm not saying in that org-babel should became more similar to sage. I only think that getting some inspiration from sage could be nice. I agree completely, I'm sure that there are lessons to be learned from a project with such similarities. Now it's just a matter of getting to know a little bit more about Sage. Thanks -- Eric Regards, Darlan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: [off-topic/GTD]Only Next Actions list to rule them all ?
Thanks for the replies. I can see the value of having project lists with its actions beneath (and sub-projects), but I don't have the discipline or maybe not enough org skills to use it efficiently. Having one project list that *lists only projects* (outcomes that require more than one action to be considered a reality) and another single stack of Next Actions has its benefits. The first one, being a cleaner list and simplicity. In the process phase, you process your blob of stuff, and when you get to the point in the workflow where you have to decide if its a project or an actual next action, then you can decide where to put it, *two lits to choose from*. The next actions can have the context tags, and the project list all have the PROJECT tag. No more, no less. Later on, in the planning phase, you can then generate more actions to crank up in the list of actions. So, you need to act on, just check the Next Actions list. Review the projects lists whenever you feel to, to check for completed outcomes, need to filter by context, use the agenda view. In the weekly review, check the inbasket and someday/maybe, project lists and next actions, process, organize, rise and repeat. Project lists and next actions lists refreshed and ready to rock again. That's all. As a side-benefit, having a cleaner text-file is good. The other option, of having a Projects list, with projects then next actions mixed up, has its benefits, since when using tagging properly you can differentiate between Next Actions and Projects using org search features. However, in the agenda view I won't have any clue of to which project the TODO belongs, so, I lost the project information there, unless I turn follow mode on or follow this item (enter, mouse-click), then I find that there are too many items and hierarchies when I follow the items, it just gets too cluttered for me, too confusing. Also, one of the reasons I tried to simplify was that I was spending too much time adjusting it and little time actually using it :S I haven't stopped and I will keep studying better ways to do GTD and automate more of my system, but this will be in the someday/maybe now.

I've taken the article written by Charles as a basis for my GTD implementation. In the end, it's all about what works for you, but I'd like to get some insights/opinions from you: For Next Actions, are you using a single list OR you organize them hierarchically under each project (in the projects list)? I started with the second one, putting each next action (TODO) item under its correspondent project, however, it quickly became too bloated, and a mix of projects, sub-projects and next-actions. Of course, org helps there with sparse trees and other functions to filter trees, but still, I found it was too complex, albeit more specific and I did felt I was more organized, even though I was getting lost. So, I just let go of my obsession about the perfect thing and decided to try a single Next Actions list, together with a Projects list. The next actions is a single list with all the actionable items from all the projects. I've lost the relationship between a next action item and a project, but I can do this easily by just looking at the action, having the system tell me is not that important. Usually, you define all actions for a project under the same hierarchy. You can decide how you want actions to be designated next (and projects to be designated project) -- using keywords or tags and have a custom agenda command collect the next actions for you from all agenda files in a single list. I define NEXT actions as a tag on some TODO item under the project hierarchy. I then pick NEXT actions off of the custom agenda view for NEXT actions using agenda filtering to limit the total number of things I'm looking at. -Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: [off-topic/GTD]Only Next Actions list to rule them all ?
Another thing I'd like to add: The only one next actions lists put the importance on actions, not on projects. And isn't that what GTD is essentially about? Managing actions? As long as you are acting up on your actions, that's fine, the need to check the projects is not that frequent, in my opinion. When you have actions below projects, you end up by thinking too much if the action really fits on this project or if it belongs to a different project/outcome. At least that's what happens to me. When I have a single project list, I feel more freedom to just list outcomes and related actions in the actions lists, then I check the project lists and eventually find out that some outcomes have been reached. Good! For example, when I get to the point that I decided that there is a next action that results from a piece of data I'm processing, I might just add it to the next actions lists, well written, or add it to its corresponding project. Of course, I could use remember and set it up to fill from the existing project maybe (like, remember, tasks, type, choose the project from the project list), but it is much more keystrokes than just saving it in the Next Actions list. It's a more organic way to work, has less structure. On the other hand, most of this could be achieved by using the agenda view and other org filtering features, and still keep a list of projects, sub-projects and next-actions, all in one, like: (Always ordered by priority) * Projects and Next Actions ** A project/outcome :PROJECT: *** TODO Do something :HOME: *** A subproject :PROJECT: TODO Do something! :HOME: *** TODO Do something else :OFFICE: Then, in the agenda, I can filter by HOME / OFFICE or TODO and would have a flat list of actions too. More configuration, but more you get, when you view the Projects and Next Actions list, the information of to which project this next action belongs, which might not be that important, as I'm interested on doing, not reviewing the landscape all the time, but could be useful sometimes (when the action is not specific enough you can't tell the related outcome).

Re: [Orgmode] New module: org-learn, incremental reading
Johan, thanks a lot for such a great piece of software. I didn't expect to have this feature implemented so fast! I'm very new to this community, but now I'm sure it was a great idea to invest some time learning Emacs and Org-mode! The next step will be to learn some Emacs Lisp. But this is tougher, though. Thank you, Pere 2009/10/21 John Wiegley jwieg...@gmail.com: The attached file, when loaded, provides two new commands: M-x org-smart-reschedule M-x org-agenda-smart-reschedule The latter being only for the *Org Agenda* buffer. You should use these commands on a scheduled entry, with state logging enabled for the DONE state. It then reschedules the item to a future date based on the SM-5 algorithm and a quality factor you are prompted for. To summarize the SM-5 algorithm: 1. After you read an item on the scheduled day, you hit M-x org-smart-reschedule. 2. You are then asked how well you remember what you just read, from 0-5: 5 - perfect response 4 - correct response after a hesitation 3 - correct response recalled with serious difficulty 2 - incorrect response; where the correct one seemed easy to recall 1 - incorrect response; the correct one remembered 0 - complete blackout. 3. If your answer is 4 or 5, the item will not be repeated. If it is anything else, the item is rescheduled, to be read again on a future date. 4. Based on the quality of your response, AND the number of times you've read the item so far, the amount of time being reschedulings will vary. If your retention is good, the gaps grow wider; if it is poor, they grow shorter. 5. Your learning data is kept in a special property called :LEARN_DATA:. Do not modify this, as it controls how the algorithm reschedules after future repetitions, and based on past quality responses. More about this algorithm can be read here: http://www.supermemo.com/english/ol/sm2.htm.

If the user's quality answer is 3, restart the OF-Matrix all over again, but using the current E-Factor. 2. If the user's quality answer is 3, stop the repetition cycle. We could make these numbers be min and max, and configurable, so that you could either always repeat, or only restart the OF-Matrix if it's below a lower number.

[Orgmode] [feature-suggestion] Schedule and tick/mark multiple items
Hello list, Is there a way to schedule multiple items at the same time? It would be a nice addition for planning the day, for example. Another thing, it would be nice if we could mark items in an org-mode buffer, and then actions would be applied only to these items, so, for example, we want to move some items from different lists (refill) to another list, we would mark them, and then apply the refill. Just two thoughts I just had and thought I'd share. Thanks and keep the great work! Marcelo. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Yes, you can perform batch actions in the agenda. Simply mark the items you'd like to modify with m. Then type B for a list of possible actions (which includes scheduling and refiling).

[Orgmode] Re: [off-topic/GTD]Only Next Actions list to rule them all ?
Marcelo de Moraes Serpa celose...@gmail.com writes: I have one question, though. There are actions that you know you have to do, but that don't justify the creation of an outcome, or, in other words, creating a project for this NA would be overkill, such as Buy chocolate :HOME:. What would be the outcome related to that? Satisfy my desire of sugar. Of course, this could be part of a Monthly shopping, in this case it is obvious, but sometimes I just have the feeling to buy chocolate, that doesn't justify the creation of an outcome. What do you guys do in this case? Keep another list for these kind of tasks? I'd just make a task ,[ todo.org ] | * Miscellaneous | ** Go Shopping and buy stuff :INTOWN: | - [ ] Chocolate ` and accumulate items in the list until there is enough to warrant a trip to the store. I normally have separate tasks (Buy This, and Buy That) which I convert to a list later as above. It's faster to record the buy something task in remember than to find the Go Shopping task when I remember something I need to add to the list. Later when I have time I can consolidate the separate tasks into the shopping list, print it out and check off the boxes with a pen when I'm actually in town. If I'm going to town for something I look at my agenda list for :INTOWN: tags and deal with whatever I can in a single trip. -Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Setting org-remember-store-without-prompt specifically for certain templates?

Re: [Orgmode] Setting org-remember-store-without-prompt specifically for certain templates?
That's a fine solution for now, but I have one template that I *always* want to be prompted about. (It's an assignment template, and I want to refile it under the appropriate class.) For others, I don't want a prompt. I feel there should be a way to implement this and stick it inside a %(sexp) in my template of choice.
