Re: [Bulk] [Orgmode] Column width in export
Hi Vincent,
rather than fixing the documentation, I have modified orgmode to
automatically remove lines that contatin only formatting cookies.
Thanks for triggering this.

Thanks Giovanni,
The documentation is however incomplete, the info node (org) Column
groups does not says that the `/' in the first field has the effect
of
excluding the row from export. Actually when you read this info node,
what you (or better said I) understand is that the `/' indicates that
this special row is used to specify column grouping.
Therefore I propose the attached patch to documentation.
Vincent.
PS-1: Sorry if sometimes I disturbe this group with naive questions.
PS-2: This is a resend, it seems that the previous message was not
dispatched due to this that I made a too big attachement (tarzipped
complete manual old and new version in addition to patch).

Sébastien Vauban wxhgmqzgwmuf-genee64ty+gs+fvcfc7...@public.gmane.org writes: I really am puzzled by using a TODO state for saying this is a note. For me, a so-called TODO state is a circumstance (or a mode), so one transitional property on a cycle. That's something that evolves over time, such as: TODO - NEXT - STARTED - WAITING - DONE A NOTE does not belong to such cycles. It's just some kind of property. I would be more inclined to view a NOTE property as a tag, but that does not satisfy me neither. Tags are for contexts, mainly resources we need to have at hand, or locations we need to be, or time ranges in which the action makes sense. I think that's too narrow a view for tags. Tags should be whatever is useful. It can be a context, or resources you need, or locations, or anything else that is useful. I use arbitrary tags to match items with an external tracking system - and use the id of that system so I can match them easily. I also use :NOTE: for notes. It works for my needs just fine. Tags are not and should not be limited to context only. I also use tags for special todo states... if I cancel a task I give it a CANCELLED tag too ... so any subtask of the cancelled task is obviously cancelled and unavailable to work on. -Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

If you do such a miracle I would be glad to try (not in a beta phase!). But I feel the efforts will be hardly rewarded. The write process is good for the mind and is prone of errors.

When you have made you branch, be sure to get Sebastian Rose try it out - I think he has lots of image links in his setup. Only the second handles captions. If the captions etc are the issue, then it should all go thru the second. Plus, `org-export-html-format-image' seems to be the right place for image code. It would be bad if changes added to `org-export-html-format-image' didn't take because this other code handled it instead. A few questions: * Encountered while writing tests: When type is file and path is an absolute filename, we do substitutions. Like /foo/unfoo/.././baz becomes /foo/baz. But we don't do them when path is relative. Why not? Is that just because we'd then need to make it relative again which is more code, or is there some other reason? Maybe the reason is that the exporten/published result will live somewhere else, and a relative path need to remain relative in order to make things work correctly. * Also found in the course of testing: id: links cause errors when buffer is not associated with a file. This can happen when the arg body-only is passed. * Punt id links in that case? * Do them but avoid the filename relativizing step? I guess either one i OK with me. How about the people whi use this for jekyl bloggin engines, what would be the right behavior for them? * How do you feel about url-parse? It's bundled with emacs, builds and destructures urls. IMO we're not at the stage where it provides more help than the extra work it requires yet. If it (our code) works, don't fix it. - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Custom agenda view - filter by priority AND scheduled date
Greetings org-mode, In my workflow, I move by priorities and scheduled dates for the tasks. My goal with this issue is to have a view that would show me only the tasks with certain priority(-ies) that are scheduled for today (or are overdue, as in (org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all t) ). My feeble attempt here: (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '((c Custom ((agenda ((org-agenda-ndays 1))) (tags-todo +PRIORITY=\A\))) ;; ...other commands here )) ... displays a usual daily agenda and following it, _all_ the #A tasks that I have. Clearly not what has been intended. After wrapping my head around it, I suspect that the only way to achieve the desired functionality is through using/modifying org-agenda.el functions to have a filter, similar to that in 'C-c a a' view for tags (/ - Tab), only this time for priorities. Is this the best way to do this and how would one go about it? Perhaps there exists a better way to achieve the same functionality?

[Orgmode] Questions about creating new nodes (headings)
Here are two questions (or maybe one question, and a bug report) from my note taking while reading the manual. * Best way to make next menu item? M-Enter seems to work pretty well. I'm not to happy with the way org-mode adds a blank line after a block of text when doing C-S-RET from the entry line, and M-RET from the block of text. Do most of you have a blank line after your text blocks, but before the next entry? And, I just noticed that it doesn't ALWAYS add the blank line . . . tres strange. The blank lines seem to have some correlation with having other blank lines after higher nodes. It is VERY strange behavior . . so far, unpredictable to me :) * C-RET does not seem to do what the info page suggests. It seems to go into a column selection mode. Which, by itself, is very useful, and I'll have to remember that. I can't seem to find the C-RET behavior anywhere (jump over the body, and add a new heading at the same level.

[Orgmode] Copying and Pasting (and Selecting)
Selecting I've gotten into the habit of selecting by holding down shift, and using the arrows to highlight the text I want to select. This even works fine in Aquamacs. But, when I'm using orgmode, and I use shift-Up or Down, then it changes the priority . . Anyone else find this irritating? Any work arounds, other than retraining myself? Copying and Pasting This could just be me fighting with Aquamacs (Cmd-C, Cmd-V, Cmd-etc mac keys). But, the cutting, copying, and pasting do not seem very intuitive. I am used to (from old emacs days) using C-w and C-y, but, i usually did that over regions. Shift-Arrows to select, etc. When I shift arrow over a subtree it mucks with priority. I know that's by design, but I find it annoying. Doing the alternative (cutting a subtree) does NOT seem intuitive to me. (Well, the C-w at the end of the command (C-c C-x C-w) does). But, I'm not trying to report a bug -- I'm actually asking a question: How do you guys typically select a region and move it, assuming that you can't just move the subtree with M-S-Arrows ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

So far, orgmode does the above with ease. But, I am starting to run into walls. Organization: I'm using one monolithic file now. And, agenda mode doesn't know about it till I add it. Should I be using agenda mode to track todos? (This goes with my calendar questions a bit in the other mail). If I do use agenda mode, how do I add multiple files? How do I work with multiple files? Is there an easy way to jump back and forth from them, if I start making one file for Bugs, one for Escalations, one for projects, one for notes, etc?

It would be good to have active HTML links to the relevant main manual sections in PDF and HTML versions. (even if this is not encouraged by texinfo format). I'm tempted to suggest going even a little further than you have done. If you were to make it shorter, I would suggest removing the following sections, and to replace removed sections with very short non-technical advertisements for features that are covered in the main manual. - 2.8 Drawers - 3.2 Column width and alignment - 3.3 The Spreadsheet (4 rather technical pages) - 7.4 Property Inheritance and 7.5 Column View (do beginners really need properties at all ??) Dan I think it's a great idea. The R project has something called An Introduction to R for beginners, separate from the complete manual. I think that as a beginner, and wondering how to break into learning a new package, that reading the manual has certain negative psychological connotations that reading the intro document does not, not the least of which is the length of full manual. And since knowing just the basics of org can be immensely beneficial, I think it's even more reason to have a basic intro document. --Erik ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Org-export-generic and wikis...
I'm trying to get o-e-g to handle export to multiple wikis. One of the ones that I'm having the most trouble with is tikiwiki (www.tikiwiki.org). The problem here is that tikiwiki won't reflow normal text blocks. This means that we need to (1) take contiguous blocks of text and ram them all together (making sure we replace newlines with spaces) and (2) we need to detect paragraph breaks in body text (blank lines, I believe) and force them into the exported code as newlines. I have a partial solution to the first, but it doesn't handle the second problem well -- it's concatenating all the body text between two headings together and not honoring paragraph breaks. The reason it does this is that the way o-e-g works is to process each line individually, and there's no special check for blank lines. For that matter, it doesn't /seem/ to take into account the possibility that its output will go somewhere that treats newlines as paragraph boundaries. The only thing I can think about for the latter (and what I have tentatively implemented) is to add a new export flag that indicates that an export format expects to treat newlines as paragraph breaks. With this set to t, I have org-export-generic emit a newline when it sees a blank line. The expectation is that the value of body-line format does /not/ emit a newline at the end. Does this sound OK? I will send a patch as soon as I can remember how to make git send one in email... Two follow-on questions about org-export-generic: 1. Would it be reasonable to move the documentation for org-export-generic into the contrib/ directory of org-mode? It seems ... suboptimal to have this package be maintained in the org git repo, but its documentation in the worg git repo. At least from my PoV this raises the bar for keeping the documentation up-to-date and synchronized to a pretty high level. 2. Is the existing handle each line separately algorithm going to permit us to handle faces correctly? Seems like we'll need a lot of hair to handle, e.g., a phrase in italics that straddles a line-break, won't we?

Re: [Orgmode] Re: due today notification
Nick, Thanks for the suggestion. What I want is a way to know, just by looking at a headline, if it is due today. Maybe this isn't something most people care about because they keep their files unfolded most of the time, so they can see the DEADLINE property. All my tasks are kept on the third level and I don't usually keep the file unfolded past that because I wouldn't be able to see enough headlines at once. Maybe it would be best if I explain my current workflow. I use agenda to see what is due today. I then manually assign those items the A priority. For the rest of the day, whether I am in a different agenda view, or just within my main file, I can quickly see what items are due today because they have the A priority within the headline. Using a tag would work just as well. I am looking for a way to cut out this manual process. I appreciate everyone's help, but I don't want to use up a lot of peoples time because this is not that big a problem for me.

[Orgmode] [PATCH 4/4] Add handling of blockquote and output formats that must be flowed.
From: Robert P. Goldman rpgold...@real-time.com Added a handler for blockquotes. Also added :body-newline-paragraph to the org-set-generic-type. This is intended to help handling output formats (like tikiwiki) where newlines are treated as paragraph separators, instead of being used to fill (i.e., the destination is expected to do the word-wrapping). If this is set to T then org-export-generic will emit a newline character when it sees a blank line. This should be used in concert with a value like %s for :body-line-format and nil for :body-line-wrap. --- contrib/lisp/org-export-generic.el | 19 +-- 1 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/contrib/lisp/org-export-generic.el b/contrib/lisp/org-export-generic.el index 11c37da..1b099dd 100644 --- a/contrib/lisp/org-export-generic.el +++ b/contrib/lisp/org-export-generic.el @@ -88,8 +88,9 @@ ;; * properties ;; * drawers ;; * oh my -;; * optmization (many plist extracts should be in (let) vars +;; * optmization (many plist extracts should be in let vars) ;; * define defcustom spec for the specifier list +;; * fonts: at least monospace is not handled at all here. ;; ; ;; @@ -638,10 +639,14 @@ underlined headlines.

Re: [Orgmode] Calendars Agenda mode

I've avoided agenda like stuff, since I have a calendar that is very full of meetings, appointments, etc. (In fact, I have several, some at work, some on google calendars).

(i.e. org-mode - iCalendar, or move everything from other calendars - org-mode?) i am also interested in this question and would especially love to hear how people work with google calendar-- which we use here to collaborate in all kinds of ways, mostly with people who wouldn't know emacs from, what, notepad; so that it's impossible for me to extricate myself from the google calendar ecosystem. if anyone has good ideas about integration i'd love to hear them! matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Relative timer: failure to reset times in active region
I took some notes on a video this morning, using a relative timer. I wasn't able to start until several minutes into the video. Then, later, I went back and started from the beginning, starting the timer pretty much on time. Now I have to reset all the times in the original notes from this morning. I found this in the documentation for the relative timer: `C-c C-x 0' Reset the timer without inserting anything into the buffer. By default, the timer is reset to 0. When called with a `C-u' prefix, reset the timer to specific starting offset. The user is prompted for the offset, with a default taken from a timer string at point, if any, So this can be used to restart taking notes after a break in the process. When called with a double prefix argument `C-c C-u', change all timer strings in the active region by a certain amount. This can be used to fix timer strings if the timer was not started at exactly the right moment. When I tried this on the original notes, the function outline-up-heading is invoked. Is there a typo in the docs? Alan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list. Emacs-orgmode@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-orgmode

Prefix means, C-u before the other keys, C-u C-c C-x 0 I guess you tries C-c C-u ? - Carsten Alan ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
