Re: [O] Literate Programming - Continue a Source Block?
Eric Schulte schulte.e...@gmail.com writes: I think append is just as clear as concatenate, Fair enough, in my mind append needs an existing entity, but I guess it could be an empty one. and collate implies shuffling which is not happening. Well, I was getting ahead of myself... I hope you don't mind me harping on about this. I'm wary of adding too much duplicate functionality. It is already possible to organize the tangling of many named code blocks using noweb reference expansion (a feature which I've used myself on real projects in the past). This existing method allows for unique block names and for arbitrary tangling order. The examples presented in this thread pointed out one difficulty with how noweb references currently work, namely that you need to know in advance all block names for finally tangling them and that when adding or removing things you need to remember to keep these references current in potentially many places. Simplicity is the only reason that the new name-based appending behavior was implemented, simplicity which (in my opinion) is lost when the user defines a naming and sorting schema. My general objection is that since you now require that the names be all the same, there is no way to distinguish between those blocks anymore. This will come back to bite you when you then later need to make a distinction since you'll then have to rework everything to unique names again. I consider that sort of simplicity a trap for the unwary. Splitting between a basename and an index extension would instead allow for appending with the basename and still getting at individual blocks using the full name (with the index part). I've had one specific use-case in mind where this would be needed. You'd normally just concatenate all source blocks (let's assume for the moment that the index part is separated from the basename by ::) source::* Let's say you have three source blocks and need to point-patch the second one for this run: source::1 source-patch::2 source::3 If the three source blocks are all just named source, there's no way to do this short of changing their names and all the references that use them. The index part doesn't have to be numeric, it just needs to be orderable. Anyone not using index extensions gets an implicit one by order of appearance, so that wouldn't require any code duplication and you can in this case still say source Being able to provide custom naming and sorting schemes could be deferred to hook functions the user has to provide, as they will indeed be rarely needed. So an implementation that keeps current behaviour would provide an implicit indexer (by order of appearance), an empty sorter and three selectors (all=append, first last). Anyone who needs more than that has to customize those functions, but I suppose the more common application scenarios will sneak into the baseline sooner or later. The move from implicit to explicit indexing should be supported by providing another hook in the implicit indexer.

Only as a collection of ideas: Even better if the Org relative timer would not start/stop by user interaction and count the time on its own but if the Org relative timer in this case would only just be replaced by reading the current play time from the media player through the same mechanisms that already update the current play time for display in Emacs. Then the note taking time would also stay in sync with fast forward and rewind. Useful e. g. when searching a certain time in a paused audio file that loops in place. And if the point in the note taking buffer would even move up and down - when enabled - when an already taken note is passed by time from fast forward or rewind this would be neat. Michael

Re: [O] Documentation suggestion re: buffers containing crypted entries
I was hit by this last week when I was investigating why my emacs initialization was taking so long. Later I found out that org-crypt was the culprit, since it added a sit for 5s in order for the user to actually see this warning. The problem is that org-crypt tests the value of the auto-save-default variable during loading time. This reflects the default behavior and not the actual auto-save status of the current buffer. Maybe a variable to disable this warning could be introduced so that the user could disable it after understanding the problem. Oh, yes please! I'm finding the delays introduced by this problem almost intolerable. Call me picky but I've gone to great lengths to make emacs very responsive and this sit-for really interferes! -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
[O] [Feature Functionality Question]
I am using a file variable to invoke Longlines mode for a particular file that I am using for editing college papers (it's an experiment to help me get formats of papers a certain way). The structure is and under visual wrap it looks like this folded: * Assignments. . . * Class Calendar . . . * Notes . . . * Papers . . When I add the file variable to invoke Longlines it does the following: * Assignments¶ . . .¶ * Class Calendar ¶ . . . ¶ * Notes ¶ . . .¶ * Papers ¶ . . .¶ I think what it is doing is seeing the Hard line at the end of the headline and putting the . . . to show a folded headline on the next line and then the final ¶ after the . . . is the one at the end of the underlying data that is folded up? Anyone know of something I am missing to get it to look more like: *Assignments . . . ¶ * Class Calendar . . .¶ * Notes . . . ¶ * Papers . . .¶ It is somewhat an aesthetics issue but I didn't know if I am missing a switch in fill, longlines or file structure that I can play with to get a prettier look for the file?

Many thanks to Nick and Suvayu for figuring out how to get inside
the table environment from Org-mode. I can't remember how many
times I tried and failed to figure this out on my own ...
Now that the Worg entry exists, I'd like to expand it a bit to add
essentially what Tom mentions in his first paragraph and also to add a
pointer to the other solution of this problem.
I have modified the Worg entry like this
*** Specifying LaTeX commands to floating environments
The keyword ~placement~ can be used to specify placement options to
floating environments (like =\begin{figure}= and =\begin{table}=}) in
LaTeX export. Org passes along everything passed in options as long as
there are no spaces. One can take advantage of this to pass other
LaTeX commands limited within the scope of the floating environment.
For example one can set the fontsize of a table different from the
rest of the document by putting something like =\footnotesize= right
after the placement options. During LaTeX export using the
~#+ATTR_LaTeX:~ line below:
#+begin_src org

exports the associated floating environment as shown in the following
block.
#+begin_src latex
\begin{table}[options]\footnotesize
...
\end{table}
#+end_src
If both of you agree and there is no important detail or subtlety
missing, I will commit this to Worg.
Suvauy, is that OK with you? Or would you rather I created a
separate hack?
Worg is a community resource. I would definitely be okay with and
encourage others improving upon whatever I contribute. :)

Nick's got a good editorial eye: compatible options is probably
not correct. In the example on Worg hacks, \footnotesize is not an
optional argument to the \table environment, it is a LaTeX command
whose scope is determined by the \table environment within which it
is issued. So, instead of One can also pass other compatible
options it would be good to say One can also pass LaTeX commands
into the \table environment or something along those lines.
The entry in Worg hacks looks good to me. Thanks for taking care of
this, Suvayu.
Many thanks to Nick and Suvayu for figuring out how to get inside
the table environment from Org-mode. I can't remember how many
times I tried and failed to figure this out on my own ...
Now that the Worg entry exists, I'd like to expand it a bit to add
essentially what Tom mentions in his first paragraph and also to add a
pointer to the other solution of this problem.
I have modified the Worg entry like this
*** Specifying LaTeX commands to floating environments
The keyword ~placement~ can be used to specify placement options to
floating environments (like =\begin{figure}= and =\begin{table}=}) in
LaTeX export. Org passes along everything passed in options as long as
there are no spaces. One can take advantage of this to pass other
LaTeX commands limited within the scope of the floating environment.
I'd rewrite this last line slightly - the scope belongs to the command and
the environment withing which the command is placed, limits the scope of the
command:
...LaTeX commands and have their scope limited to the floating environment.
For example one can set the fontsize of a table different from the
rest of the document by putting something like =\footnotesize= right
This is not quite right: the fontsize in the table is by default set to
normal size, but the rest of the document does not have to be normal
size. I suggest
...For example one can set the fontsize of a table different from the
default normal size by putting something like =\footnotesize= right...
after the placement options. During LaTeX export using the
~#+ATTR_LaTeX:~ line below:
#+begin_src org
,#+ATTR_LaTeX: placement=[options]\footnotesize
#+end_src
exports the associated floating environment as shown in the following
block.
#+begin_src latex
\begin{table}[options]\footnotesize
...
\end{table}
#+end_src
If both of you agree and there is no important detail or subtlety
missing, I will commit this to Worg.
Otherwise, looks good.
Suvauy, is that OK with you? Or would you rather I created a
separate hack?
Worg is a community resource. I would definitely be okay with and

But common courtesy dictates that I should at least ask :-) In any case,
I'm planning to post to the ML for review whatever changes I come up
with.
Thanks,
Nick
