[O] [LaTeX Export] Question: How to export one section as an Appendix and choosing a way to crossreference
Dear Org-mode list members:
I am using org-mode to write a research paper. I am very pleased with the
way org-mode works for LaTeX export.
However I am stuck and I can't seem to find the solution using google (I am
sure I am missing something). Could you please help me with the following:
1. How can I import the Appendix with a different section number. Presently,
the Appendix section has the number following the previous section number.
Instead I want to have no number of Appendix and the sections of Appendix
with numbers like A.1 (for 1st section of Appendix), A.2 (for 2nd section of
Appendix). Similarly, sub-sections should be numbered like A.1.1 ... (I
could not find a solution for this issue in the well-written worg tutorial
by Dr. Dye. This may be solely because I am a beginner and could not
formulate how to achieve this numbering scheme.)
2. For cross-referencing, currently I use \ref{CUSTOM_ID}. If there is a way
of achieving the numbering scheme in 1., would the current cross referencing
method work for Appendix too?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best Regards,
S.

My local copy of Emacs has all the libraries in place. The problem seems to be the path: the directory has spaces in it, and the final call is: i_view32.exe /capture=2 /convert=Z:/Foo bar/baz.png In other words, the entire argument is quoted rather than just the path.

[O] Options for into exporting both LaTeX and HTML
emacs23.2 org-mode 7.4 I would like to export an org file into both LaTeX and HTML. In order to do so, it is important to add appropriate options for both. #+ATTR_HTML: alt=apples image title=How many? align=right width=200 #+ATTR_LaTeX: width=200 [[./images/apples.jpg]] The HTML export gives an outcome as I desire. But this does not seem to work well for LaTeX export. I want to show the image in TeX as similarly as HTML. First of all, can I simply list the options like this? Should I wrap them like... #+Begin_... #+End_... ? Thank you in advance. soichi

Re: [O] tables: is it possible to use a comma instead of a period as a number delimiter
Hi, This seems to be a limitation in Emacs Calc, on which Org table spreadsheet functions are based. Calc accepts only the dot as decimal point for number *entry*. However, you can have it *display* the point as you like by customizing calc-point-char (that's `d .' in a Calc buffer). In Org, you *could* try this: (setq org-calc-default-modes (append org-calc-default-modes '(calc-point-char ,))) However, it looks like this creates more problems than it's worth. Commas remain useless for data entry, including entry from Org table cells, so you would need to keep a source column with dots, and copy the numbers over to the column you want to display. And you could only do math on the source column. E. g., the following would work for a column of numbers to be summed at the bottom line: | Point | Comma | |---+---| | 2.3 | | | 11.3 | | | 2.1 | | |---+---| | | | #+TBLFM: $2=$1+0::@5$2=vsum(@I$1..@II$1) ... But would you want to do this? Probably not. So something like Michael's solution seems to be the best option. Or are we missing something here? This is not unlike the hour-minutes-seconds time format hack we discussed a while ago. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html#time-computation Org tables with Calc is the greatest invention since buttered toast, but user-friendly localizable formats for non-scientific uses may not be its strong side.

I need to say that I do not know how org-mode interfaces with BBDB. I am CC'ing this email also to emacs-orgmode@gnu.org. If org-mode is set up to work with BBDB v2.x, (most likely) this does not work with BBDB v3. Defining aliases for the old BBDB functions in terms of the new ones would work only in a few cases. Of course, this depends first of all on how org-mode is supposed to work with BBDB. Yet we are trying to make the new BBDB part of GNU Emacs. So it would be great if org-mode could be updated to provide (also) an interface for the new BBDB. While I'd like to declare soon that BBDB v3 has reached a beta stage, it was probably good if someone familiar with org-mode's interface to BBDB could take a look into this so that we could try to make sure that the new BBDB can work with org-mode as smoothly as possible. (Various add-ons for BBDB v2 had to go through some pain to work as intended by advicing BBDB functions and things like that. With BBDB v3 I tried to clean up and simplify these things; and various add-ons for BBDB v2 are already incorporated into v3 in one or the other way. It would probably be good if the needs of org-mode could be incorporated into the new BBDB before we declare that BBDB v3 has reached a beta stage.) Roland

[O] print booklet from orgmode
I do not know how to do this but it struck me as useful: Easily print your to-do list as a foldable booklet that you can put in your pocket. Each booklet contains your hotlist, your top 110 most important tasks, and a section for written notes. Assembly of the booklet is as simple as one cut with a scissors and a few folds. http://www.toodledo.com/booklet.php Does org mode have such a feature?

[O] Cloning tasks subtrees when repeating?
Folks: I am looking for a nice org-mode-ish way to manage a task check list that repeats regularly. I would like to log, then archive, which items actually are completed when I close the task. (It isn't uncommon to have a few open.) Here is the situation: Every couple of weeks, I have an opportunity to work through a checklist of about 40-50 system maintenance tasks, organized under a repeating TODO-task item. At the end of the maintenance time period, I close the task (which reschedules nicely), then cut-n-paste the partly-marked list to the LOGBOOK drawer (as well as any additional notes I want to log). Then I manually clear out the check list... This is not too much work, but of course it would be nice if the checklist could automatically be saved, then cleared. But there is another problem: my LOGBOOK drawer is getting very large, and checklist processing has been slowing (I can no longer use it). What would be nice is if I could close the task, the repeated entry would be an entirely new task. Perhaps it is a clone of the task I just closed (with a new date), or perhaps it is populated from some sort of template. The important thing is I need a new task entry, so I can archive the old entry, and still have a new entry with a new date. Has anyone else had a similar use-case that could suggest an approach they've used? Thanks! /Lindsay
Re: [O] Cloning tasks subtrees when repeating?
Have you looked into: C-c C-x c (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift) Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it. You will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted. This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks related to a series of lectures to prepare. For more details, see the docstring of the command org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift. Your usecase may need some modification or adding this to a custom function for it to work.

[O] Weird bug when babel used in a macro
Sample ORG file:
#+MACRO: test src_emacs-lisp[:results raw]{(let (mRef) (progn (if (string=
$2 1) (setq mRef A) (if (string= $2 2) (setq mRef B) (setq mRef
C))) (concat Test $1 mRef : )))}
* *Hello World*
{{{test(1,1)}}}
Desired HTML export:
Test 1.A
Actual HTML export:
The babel macro takes the 2nd argument and maps it to the following: 1 = A, 2
= B, Everything else = C. Yeah, it may be convoluted, but it gets the job
done i.e., the actual HTML file is fine.
HOWEVER, I get this error during the export process:
No match - create this as a new heading? (y or n)
If you select y, it adds an extra heading to the file. This heading is
* Hello World* (same heading minus the *)
If you un-bold the heading (change the heading to * Hello World), it exports
fine. For some reason when the actual heading starts with a * character, it is
throwing something off...
Using 7.4 (I'm in a production environment, so I can't upgrade right now).

[O] Confused about org-log-into-drawer
Hi, I thought that org-log-into-drawer would also log scheduled/deadline/closed timestamps into a drawer, or is this not the case? I have it set like so: ,--- | (setq org-log-into-drawer t) `--- But only clocked data goes into :LOGBOOK:, not any of the other meta-data about the TODO. Is this normal, and is there a way to get that stuff in the drawer as well? Or is something off on my setup? Thanks, John
