I am looking for a way out which will allow pdf compilation of Org

I have so far come up with two possible work-arounds and would
like to hear if one of them makes sense:

1.  I could set the environment variable LC_ALL
  for the duration of the texi2dvi command to some value
  like C?  That should fix the egrep call, but could
  it have adverse effects on the pdflatex and bibtex runs or
  any other stuff used in texi2dvi?



Yes, at least theoretically. I don't think anybody has gone down
the path of investigating these effects.


2. On startup, I could use

 (if (= 0 (shell-command echo foo | egrep \[A-z]\))
  


 to check if there is a problem and in this case go for
 manual pdflatex runs rather than using texi2dvi.  THis might work,
 but it would be a bit unpredictable what ends up being used,
 and with no setup in Org you could get different sets of commands
 on different machines.



The trouble with this is that you are checking on egrep which will  
give
you a positive for egrep versions = 2.6.x, but the fix to texi2dvi  
might

have made that irrelevant. How about

   try
  texi2dvi
   except
  do Seb's thrice-repeated pdflatex (or whatever) call

After everybody has updated to the latest texinfo, the exception code
can be taken out.

Alternatively, the texi2dvi method can be reverted: it was an idea  
that

was worth trying, but it has caused more harm than good at this point
- maybe it can be revisited in six months.


Any ather ideas?  Comments?





Perhaps org-latex-to-pdf-process should just run pdflatex twice (or  
three times) so that it most likely will work out of the box.  IIUC,  
the user can set this variable to something else.


I think this is the best idea.  I am going to set the default to 3  
runs of pdflatex and provide a customization option to use texi2dvi.
FOr now, I think the danger of this going wrong for unsuspecting users  
is worse than the advantage of using texi2dvi.


So if texi2dvi works on your system, just configure org-latex-to-pdf- 
process.  If you use the customize interface to do the customization,  
one of the options will be texi2dvi.


 Some ready-to-use alternatives on Worg might be useful.  There, the  
pitfalls of using texi2dvi could be explained and those with systems  
where it works could find a recipe and make use of it.  The use of  
other latex make files might be illustrated there as well.


Good idea.

  But when I tried to follow that link, I got the title error message.

   [[id:000BE8BE-5673-4F73-8D02-1E5411D59465][Fixes to make post-hoc]]
 
  How does it know which file to open in that case?  Is it somehow encoded in 
  the ID?

 I tested with the following templates.
 
 1. With ID property
 
 ((t Task entry (file+headline ~/notebook/refile.org Inbox) * TODO %?

   :PROPERTIES:

 And I did not face any issues when I tried to follow the link.

In my case, the item to be found had *no* properties before I added
the ID property, and wasn't in one of my regular org files.  It
looked like this:

* Fixes to make post-hoc
** TODO Pause in animation of string toy
** TODO Stop with the swap hack in copy ctor of sparse
   The problem is that it means we end up with a broken invariant in
   the dtor

Oh, weird.  Now when I store a link the item automatically gets an
ID.  I guess I need to go back and RTFM because I obviously don't
understand how this stuff works.  I wonder why the first time I stored
a link I got something like the first link.

You can try 'Export only the visible part of the document', which key

I don't think that is available with mouse

It should work in any element of a column - not just

well.

[Orgmode] org-bbdb: anniversaries with unknown years

2010-10-10 Thread Christoph Groth

Hello,

I'd like to keep birthdays and similar dates in bbdb and have them shown
in my org mode agenda views.  Often, however, I do not know the year of
an anniversary, and in the case of my acquaintances the year of a
personal anniversary is often not meaningful (e.g. name days, popular in
some countries).

The solution that came to my mind was to update org-bbdg.el to also
accept dates in the format MM-DD.  org-bbdb-anniv-extract-date would
then substitute nil for unknown years.  The remaining code would make
sure that unknown is substituted for unknown `years'.

That solution seems fine, however it would break compatibility with the
old format of org-bbdb-anniversary-format-alist, as this assumes that a
numerical value of `years' is always defined.

Before writing a patch, I would like to ask for opinions on this.

Cheers

 I used scheduling to put all such items in my agenda, and I also
 tagged them as todo's or appointments. I just mark them as done and
 they're automatically rescheduled. No scheduler multiplier shows up as

 I didn't realize notes with an active timestamp would be included in
 the agenda. It makes sense, and nowhere in the manual mentioned a note
 having to have a TODO keyword to show up... I just sort of imposed the
 structure on my file.

 I think I'll drop the TODO keywords from these sorts of items.

 My question is, will headings with TODO keywords and an active

Yes (as you have noted). Anything with an active timestamp (SCHEDULED,

however, has a different behavior. There is an FAQ on this:

 keyword (which enables nifty features like logging, so I can tell when
 a class was cancelled by using DEFER instead of DONE), one might
 as well use scheduling, too. Only if you don't want to keep track of
 marking items as done should one drop scheduling and keywords.

[Orgmode] Feature request

2010-10-10 Thread David Abrahams


Hi All,

I have to reschedule quite a few items daily.  Often they're
yesterday's items that I need to reschedule for today.  

  `C-c C-s . RET' 

is a bit much typing for that, so I re-bound `S' to
org-agenda-schedule.  But 

  `S . RET' 

is still a bit much.  I'd like it if the default when rescheduling was
always for today, instead of the date the item is already scheduled
for, so I could 

  `S RET'

in the usual case.  What about a customizable option to set the
default schedule-for date?

Hi David,

Why are you rescheduling items everyday?  That seems like a lot of
overhead to me.  What's wrong with leaving the item on the first
scheduled date and just allow the agenda to show how many days it has
already been scheduled for -- until you mark it DONE?

Alternatively if it's a repeating task, you can use a single day
repeater and just mark the item DONE to move it to the next day.

One thing I've been trying to do is minimize the amount of time I spend
on overhead stuff for my tasks and trading that for time I actually do
work on completing the tasks instead.

Regards,
Bernt

Just curious: Why don't you use the bulk action?

a) Mark all items with `m'
b) `B' `s' `.' RET.

For 20 items, thats:
20x `m' + 4 Keys for b) = 24 keypresses
(if those items are right next to each other and need no navigation)

Your approach would need 20 item x `S Ret' = 40 keypresses :).

I am looking for a way out which will allow pdf compilation of Org
work out of the box, and still allow texi2dvi to be used where
possible.

I have so far come up with two possible work-arounds and would
like to hear if one of them makes sense:

1. I could set the environment variable LC_ALL
for the duration of the texi2dvi command to some value
like C? That should fix the egrep call, but could
it have adverse effects on the pdflatex and bibtex runs or
any other stuff used in texi2dvi?

Yes, at least theoretically. I don't think anybody has gone down
the path of investigating these effects.

2. On startup, I could use

(if (= 0 (shell-command echo foo | egrep \[A-z]\))

to check if there is a problem and in this case go for
manual pdflatex runs rather than using texi2dvi. THis might work,
but it would be a bit unpredictable what ends up being used,
and with no setup in Org you could get different sets of commands
on different machines.

The trouble with this is that you are checking on egrep which will
give
you a positive for egrep versions = 2.6.x, but the fix to
texi2dvi might

have made that irrelevant. How about

try
texi2dvi
except
do Seb's thrice-repeated pdflatex (or whatever) call

After everybody has updated to the latest texinfo, the exception
code

can be taken out.

Alternatively, the texi2dvi method can be reverted: it was an idea
that
was worth trying, but it has caused more harm than good at this
point

- maybe it can be revisited in six months.

Any ather ideas? Comments?

Perhaps org-latex-to-pdf-process should just run pdflatex twice (or
three times) so that it most likely will work out of the box.
IIUC, the user can set this variable to something else.

I think this is the best idea. I am going to set the default to 3
runs of pdflatex and provide a customization option to use texi2dvi.
FOr now, I think the danger of this going wrong for unsuspecting
users is worse than the advantage of using texi2dvi.

So if texi2dvi works on your system, just configure org-latex-to-pdf-
process. If you use the customize interface to do the
customization, one of the options will be texi2dvi.

Some ready-to-use alternatives on Worg might be useful. There, the
pitfalls of using texi2dvi could be explained and those with
systems where it works could find a recipe and make use of it. The
use of other latex make files might be illustrated there as well.

Good idea.

I made a start in this direction on the LaTeX export tutorial, http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.php#sec-8
. Information on other makefile setups and setups for other LaTeX
engines, such as xelatex, could go here, as well.

All the best,

I would vote this way.  I like texi2dvi but maybe keep to pdflatex++
for now?  Anybody who wishes to use texi2dvi (as I would right now on
those systems where I have fixed the texi2dvi script) can easily do
so but those not aware of the problems won't be caught out.

[Orgmode] Worg - Using Lightbox Javascript.

I am writing the screenshots page for my org-color-theme contribution. 
Usually when I am doing something like this I would make each picture 
about 500px wide and allow the user to see a full size popup using the 
Lightbox Javascript library. Lightbox is licenced under the Creative 
Commons Attribution 2.5 License, so I think it's compatible with Worg's 
licence.


Would anybody object if I uploaded lightbox.js to org? Once it's there 
anyone esle would be able to use it on a Worg page if the wished. You 
can read more about Lightbox at

 Hi David,
 
 Why are you rescheduling items everyday?  

Because there's always something I didn't get done yesterday, and I
often have pushed too many tasks forward onto a given day, and don't
want to see more than about 15 TODOs in my agenda on any given day.

 That seems like a lot of overhead to me.  What's wrong with leaving
 the item on the first scheduled date and just allow the agenda to
 show how many days it has already been scheduled for -- until you
 mark it DONE?

Because then they show up in the consciousness like a failure instead
of as just what I have to do today, and they tend to pile up and lead
to a state of despair, where the agenda is too daunting to face.  They
need to be processed.  I need to re-negotiate the contract I made with
myself about when they were getting done.

 Alternatively if it's a repeating task, you can use a single day
 repeater and just mark the item DONE to move it to the next day.

It's not.

 One thing I've been trying to do is minimize the amount of time I
 spend on overhead stuff for my tasks and trading that for time I
 actually do work on completing the tasks instead.

Thanks, but I need to do this to keep on track.

I have about as much talent for designing colour themes as the average

someone else's them and customize it a bit.

In a recent bout of fiddling I decided to try out a few new themes. I
searched the mailing list and there has been quite a bit of discussion
about themes for org. However, when I look at Worg
(http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-appearance.php), the
information about colour themes is very sparse. Also when I look at
the org source code the one theme mentioned in Worg (zenburn) isn't in
Worg/color-themes, but there is another one (railscast), which isn't
mentioned on Worg.

There is also a link to one of Bastien's pages at
http://www.cognition.ens.fr/~guerry/org-color-themes.htmlhttp://www.cognition.ens.fr/%7Eguerry/org-color-themes.htmlwhich
is now
a Monty Python parrot (deceased).

I would like to tidy up the Worg section on themes and add a screen
shot for each theme.

Colour themes I have been able to find .el files for.
color-theme-colorful-obsolescence.el
color-theme-railscast.el
color-theme-tangotango.el
color-theme-zenburn.el
color-theme-sva.el

However, color-theme-sva.el seems to have at least one syntax error,
so if Sebastien Vauban fixes it before I do, perhaps he could post
anlother version here.

There is one theme mentioned in the mailing list where I can't find an
.el file: color-theme-cl-frame.el

If anyone would like to post their theme as a reply to this message, I
would be happy to incorporate it into Worg.
