[Orgmode] Request: Slightly different structure mode
Hi, beside of the organising part I use org-mode as a lab-notebook for every project which involves more thinking and esp. remembering about it. For that I create a new org-mode file for every project, linked to a main-file and I add all this links, infos, mails, deadlines, folder, files, data, and all other pieces of infos which I need to access or remember when I continue to work on this project (which might be weeks or months later). This works really great with org-mode and it help me to come quickly inside a particular project even after long time of non-processing. I noticed that I prefer to create outlines like this (stupid example) +--start--+ * Learn org-mode I start to read carefully the manual again. Esp. tables are still difficult to use for me. ** Just to remember the most important table commands Here I will write down all the table stuff commands a long long long text and maybe some tables. This text should belong again to outline 1. I just like to continue writing since I just write in a chronological order. I read the manual again and found some nice features I wasn't aware of ..more text.. . +stop-+ Thus if I cylcle threw them I like to get the following: +--start--+ * Learn org-mode I start to read carefully the manual again. Esp. tables are still difficult to use for me. ** Just to remember the most important table commands This text should belong again to outline 1. I just like to continue writing since I just write in a chronological order. I read the manual again and found some nice features I wasn't aware of ..more text.. . +stop-+ Thus the last paragraph should belong to the first outline and only collapse if with the first outline. At the moment it belongs always to the last (in this case second outline) and collapsing result in: +--start--+ Thus if I cylcle threw them I like to get the following * Learn org-mode I start to read carefully the manual again. Esp. tables are still difficult to use for me. ** Just to remember the most important table commands +stop-+ So I like to use the outline levels more as a measure of importance or of detail. I write a generic text of how the project is going on, most likely just adding every day a little bit text like in a diary. If there is something very special or very detailed I like to encapsulate it in a outline and only open it up if I need to read again about it. Thus, it will not distract me by reading fast threw the main file and it is available if needed. Any idea how to achieve that ?

[Orgmode] Re: latex export on mac os x with xelatex
Hi there, For the benefit of later visitors, here is how I worked around the problem for the moment: orgmode seems to ignore the exec-path, so I looked at the result of (getenv PATH), which was very little. Saying (setenv PATH (concat /usr/local/texlive/2009/bin/universal-darwin: (getenv PATH))) in my .emacs solved the problem, the latex export now happily works its way to the texlive programs and does what it needs to do. So I suspect this is some kind of setup problem that might be specific to my installation. I will see if I can find out more once I have a little time. Thanks for your time:-) All the best, Christian On 2010-02-22 16:34, Christian Wittern wrote: Dear Orgmode users, I am trying to get Latex export working on a Mac OS X system.

However, org-export-as-pdf does not manage to produce a pdf.

[Orgmode] MobileOrg Agenda View link to Org Files
Hi All, In MobileOrg, I have included the Agenda Views, specifically the weekly or monthly views. While in that vew, for a particular date there are any number of 'headings'. Feature Request (unless I'm missing it): Is there a way to have the ability to link from the agenda view item to the same item in the actual org file (if its in MobileOrg). For example, when I look at my agenda view for February 25th, I have an entry called B-Day Prep. But the details of B-Day prep are not there. It would be nice to tap on an icon or something that takes me to the org file and heading where B-Day Prep actually resides (allowing me to view the body text, sub-headings, etc.) Thanks! David A.

[Orgmode] using gnuplot dumb terminal
Hi all, thanks for this extremely versatile emacs mode. I am only beginning to discover all the features available. When using the org-plot/gnuplot interface, a possible use-case came to my mind. In gnuplot one can have a primitive ascii dump of the plot, using set terminal dump with or without an output file. I was wondering if it would be possible to include the output of this as plot into an org document. I can achieve basically this, by having something like #+PLOT: set:term dumb file:plot.plt | a | b | c | |-+-+-| | 200 | 100 | 300 | | 200 | 200 | 400 | #+TBLFM: $3=$1+$2 and then simply input 'plot.plt' into the document which looks something like this in this case (don't know if the ascii art will survive) 400 +++-++-+-$ + + ++ $a$** + |$$ b ## | 350 ++ $$ c $$++ |$$ | | $$| |$$ | 300 $ ++ || || 250 ++ ++ || || 200 ** | ##| |## | | ##| 150 ++ ## ++ | ##| +## ++ + + 100 #-+-++-+++ 00.2 0.4 0.6 0.81 More complicated things would then of course be to link the plot to the table, and to be able to issue update commands if the table data have changed etc. Also when exporting to latex, one could simply change the mode of gnuplot to eps/jpg and include the graphics in the exported document. I have not found the 'dumb' mode mentioned anywhere in the forum, so I was curious if anybody possibly thought about something like this (or has done it already??), or had ideas on how to implement it (don't know lisp myself, unfortunately). Should this not be possible it is not really a problem, since there is a way to do this as described above, but I found this a possibly nice feature, as it would allow for simple plots while keeping the org document to be overhead-free ascii.

[Orgmode] Tables - Multiple Row and Column span
Hi, I realize that orgmode tables do not allow multiple row and column spanning in HTML (export). I also read that orgmode allows one to use table.el for specifying tables and table.el allows multiple row and column span. I haven't figured out how to combine orgmode content with table.el for tables. Is it possible to do the following? * Org mode table | Header 1 | Header 2 | |--+--| | R1 C1| R1 C2| | R2 C1| R2 C2| | R3 C1| R3 C2| * table.el table Following table has 1 multi column cell and 1 multi row cell. | Header 1 | Header 2 | |--+--| | R1 C1-2 | | R2 C1| R2-3 C2 | | R3 C1| | Can anyone please post a working example?

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Footnotes in headings results in strange entries in the table of contens of the latex - pdf export
Hi Gerald,
the LaTeX exporter does indeed have some problems with footnotes in
headlines.
I have now fixed it so that the footnote will be preceded by \protect,
which already makes things nicer. However, to use the format you
propose (which is good LaTeX), Org would have to know which macros
exactly work like that. For example, headlines from Org-mode
sometimes get transformed into \item blocks, where an optional
argument would have completely different effects.
A way out for you would be to add a function to `org-export-latex-
final-hook' which would go through, find and fix the corresponding
headlines.
If you make a good solutions, please share it - I might want to use it
in Org after all.

Hi,
I tracked down the problem to latex itself, the generated code looks
like this:

But to get a correct table of contents entry when a section title
contains a footnote it should look like this:
\section[This is a simple heading]{This is a simple heading
\footnote{A footnote }}
\label{sec-1}
The solution was not found by me, I took it from
http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=243820
But I don't want to edit the tex-file manually, how can I fix the
renderer? I looked into it but I don't really understand how the
export (and the latex backend) do their work.
