[O] Remove current heading from refile targets?
I noticed that when I go to refile a heading, the heading that I'm refiling is listed in the refile targets. If I choose to refile the heading to itself, the following error is displayed: org-refile: Cannot refile to position inside the tree or region When I'm choosing a refile target, the current heading gets in the way. Would it make sense to remove the current heading from the refile targets? I have org-completion-use-ido set to `t', so I'm using the ido interface to refile. Regards, Jason

My only fear is that you could end up implementing much of Emacs in JS. Another option for serving Org-mode files could be an Emacs-based web-server, for example elnode [1], which I just ran across today. I'm quite good at Javascript, and I wouldn't mind hacking something akin to orgmode elisp code and this will be what I'll do if everything else fails, but wouldn't using a grammar be a cleaner and more elegant solution? Can you tell more about what you mean by grammar? Back in february, at FOSDEM, someone asked for a description of the org-mode format specification. This is still something that needs to be done. Any stab at this (on Worg) would be really nice. You can start anywhere (headlines, TODO keywords, etc.) If the grammar needs to be described in a specific format (more than just a formal description of the various syntactic elements of an Org file), let us know. As I mentioned earlier in this thread, I think any formal expression would be more useful if could be fed to existing parser-generation tools to automatically write Org-mode parsers, or perhaps automatically convert between Org-mode and other document formats. I'm not sure however to what degree that is just wishful thinking.. Cheers -- Eric Footnotes: [1] https://github.com/nicferrier/elnode -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/
[O] Represent *everything* in Org-mode
Hi! I need your thoughts and feedback on this idea: I am thinking of letting student(s) implement a (Python[1]) script that imports[2] all kinds of data sources to generate simple (and reduced) Org-mode heading entries and links to the original information in order to represent the users digital life as complete as possible. Imagine, you have got one (additional) «archive.org» (or «mylife.org_archive»[8]) which contains lots of small entries that represent many things you are doing on your computer: * emails you send and receive * tweets you write * weblog entries you write * usenet postings you send * files you are creating (with a datestamp in its filename) * bookmarks you save (in delicious?) * SVN/git commits you are committing * SMS you send and receive (via smartphone) * ... and much more With this system, you can visit any day in the past to see, what happened in your (digital) life that time. You can reconstruct pretty much anything you were thinking, working, ... that day. If you happen to know MyLifeBits[3] from MS Research, the papers from Gemmell et al or the book «Total Recall»[4] you already know what I am writing about: researchers implemented a (MS Windows only) system to capture your digital life even with digital cameras and screenshots of your desktop. With Org-mode and a bunch of «connectors» this should be a fairly easy job to do. Nothing proprietary here, the amount of data is not that much as with those binary information from MyLifeBits. I am thinking about a central management tool that writes the Org-mode file(s), lets you add tags to specific sources and correct time zone deltas caused by timestamps of services out of sync with the time zone you are living at. Then there are those «connectors»: one will parse through my maildir[5] to collect sent (and received?) emails in order to generate something like: * [[file:/my/maildir/the_email][Urgend: Server just died]] :email:work: 2010-01-17 Tue 08:12 :PROPERTIES: :FROM: b...@company.example.com :END: Another «connector» parses my monthly backup of tweets[6] in order to generate entries like: * [[http://twitter.com/status/0815][I hate dying hardware]] :tweet: 2010-01-17 Tue 08:15 Parsing a source like «locate» I can filter out files I am putting an ISO datestamp into and generate: * [[file:/albums/2010-01-17T08:21_rat.jpg][The rat that ate the \ server cable]] :file: 2010-01-17 Tue 08:21 With another «connector» I am parsing my weekly delicious[7] backup and generate entries like following for all my bookmarks: * [[http://killrats.com][How to kill rodents]] :delicious:animals: 2010-01-17 Tue 09:35 Without such a combined agenda view, you would possible never know which different things you were «using» that day when a rat was the source of a hardware downtime. This is not a new idea but as far as I know, it was never implemented that complete outside of MyLifeBits. So: is there something similar out there? Probably using Org-mode already? And: what do *you* think of this idea? I'd like to have a central tool that manages the connectors as mentioned above and small and easy to implement connectors for each data source. 1.

Re: [O] How-to evaluate Java-snippets in org-mode/org-babel?
Sorry took me a while to test it.
It works great
Many many thanks for your help.
I found two minor things.
My snippets contain the definition of a package, which in turn end to be a
folder. The tangle function could create folders on demand. Would be useful
for your code too. It works already by creating the folder manually and
simply write...
#+begin_src java classname packagename/classname
in the next step, people might use sessions as equivalent to a package. This
would allow to define multiple classes and the usage of them within a single
execution.
However for now its perfect already. Why not putting it into ob-java.el and
see how its develope.

Hi Torsten,
I've just written the included emacs-lisp function [1], which when added
to your config should provide for minimal evaluation functionality for
java code blocks.
This function drops the body of a code block to a file named after the
value of the :classname header argument (since java cares about file
names), it then compiles the file with javac, and executes the resulting
executable returning the results. See the attached Org-mode file [2]
which evaluates successfully on my system (after I installed javac).
I copied the code example and compilation process from [3].
Please let me know how this works for you, hopefully once we iron out
the kinks in this function it can serve as the seed for a full java
mode.

Hi Eric,
You probably don't want to pass the body of a code block to a lisp
function as quoting will become a nightmare, however passing the name to
a lisp block may be reasonable.
I would suggest that rather than implementing this behavior in a code
block you take a look at starting a ob-java.el file. A partial
implementation (e.g., only external evaluation, no session evaluation)
would be a useful contribution, and given the many helper functions and
examples present in the other ob-* files this would most likely be
easier than a custom lisp-block implementation.
o.k. the first round of evaluations is over and it worked out
o.k. However, there was still rather much handwork to do.
I tried to get a ob-java.el file together using the template and
mainly by looking at ob-c.el which I guess comes close what would have
to be done for java.
However, my lisp-skills (which are close to zero) are not enough to
get it working. The main problem was that ob-c.el is working for both
C and C++ and all this if then else troubles me a bit.
Basically, I want only tangle the actual code block into a temp
file. Well temp is not really right, since java demand its file
structure and file naming. Finally execute it externally by your
proposed code
javac -cp . mypackage/myclass.java
java -cp . mypackage.myclass
and return the results
Hmm maybe better to give a real world example (stripped down to make
it shorter)
I use now the following way
/---/
#+BABEL: :mkdirp t
* Coursework 1
** StudentID1
#+BEGIN_SRC java
package foo;
public class Bar
{
private double ans = 0
public void set(double d){
ans = d;
}
public void print(){
System.out.println(ans);
}
public static void main(String[] argv){
Bar c = new Bar();
c.set(100);
c.print();
}
}
#+end_src
** StudentID2
#+BEGIN_SRC java
package foo;
public class Bar
{
private double x = 0
public void set(double in){
x = in;
}
public void print(){
System.out.println(x);
}
public static void main(String[] argv){
Bar myclass = new Bar();
myclass.set(100);
myclass.print();
}
}
#+end_src
** Result
#+srcname: result
#+begin_src sh :results output
javac -cp . foo/Bar.java
java -cp . foo.Bar
#+end_src
//
For now I only added the tangle command to a single code block and
created the file via C-c C-v t.
#+BEGIN_SRC java tangle: foo/Bar.java
Then I rushed down to a shell block result which executed the the
above commands. I checked the results and started to remove the tangle
object from one block and added it to the next block. Kind of tiring
if you have several dozen of blocks.
Guess you can see from the above example the trouble of having several
dozen of them and then tangeling them one by one and execute the
result block ;)
I tried to make it more easy by giving the shell block a name and call
it under each java code block. This would save me the time going up
and down in my file.
#+call: result()
However, I noticed that the result update was always done at the first
appearances of the call , like under the first java code block but not
at the desired code block?!

Considering all the time and effort Org-mode's selfless developers have sacrificed to deliver this mindblowing piece of software to us, this could easily be perceived as an insult in my opinion, regardless of whether or not it was intentional. I agree. I know that this doesn't justify the tone of my impulsive reply in any way whatsoever, and I do apologize for disrupting the serene atmosphere which characterizes this list, but... I sent it, and I stand behind it 100%. Besides, how could someone who cares about how slick and shiny their software looks *possibly* end up using Emacs? Pretty easy: you see that Emacs massively increases your productivity, and you use it. The genius of Emacs lies not in being ugly or being minimalistic (now that would be something) but in being an amazingly customizable platform. Being nice to look at would not in any way automatically render it useless. Abstracting the user interface from the logic is an important paradigm, especially for something like org-mode that you want to run on a wide range of devices – think 24 monitors vs 3 mobile devices. You don't want to have too much of the looks hardcoded. Exactly! That is, believe it or not, the whole point. What the OP is suggesting effectively nullifies the separation between model and view in that it would allow changing Org-mode's outlining markup at its very core, potentially leading to a wildgrowth of custom markup formats which could hardly be called plain text anymore, not to mention the avalanche of PEBCAK-related bug reports it may unleash. I’m very confused. Couldn’t the compatibility and standardization problems be avoided entirely by indicating the character at the top of the file if it differs from the norm? And why would, say, changing the headline starter from ‘*’ to ‘+’ make it any less of a plain text format? Or, for that matter, changing it to ‘→’? These are all valid UTF-8 characters that any Unicode-aware application is expected to understand and deal with. Now if you don't find that to be one of /your/ personal top priorities – fine, don't bother. But going all bashing because someone insists on his opinion that this is important? I don't see what you're trying to achieve here. Pretty much since the very beginning, Org-mode has been described as: Org is a mode for keeping notes, maintaining TODO lists, and doing project planning with a fast and effective plain-text system. Seeing as how this description hasn't changed ever since, one can safely assume that keeping the markup format sane (i.e. plain-text) and consistent (i.e. semi-standardized, so as not to complicate joint project planning) is a top priority for the entire Org-mode community. Re: plain text and standardization, see the above two paragraphs. As for my personal priorities: I didn't start using Emacs solely because Org-mode *requires* me to, but because I care about getting my work done, as efficiently as possible. Mac/Windows-influenced non-features (and the code overhead they introduce) will undoubtedly interfere with that. IOW, a lack of certain features is an essential feature in and of itself. Have you looked at Emacs recently? “Minimalistic” is the opposite of what it is. The fact that you use it ought to show in itself that minimalism isn’t what you want. I guess what I'm trying to achieve is to keep Org-mode from slowly and inconspicuously devolving into something featuring transparent blinking 3D unicorn overlays with cherries on top. That's a gross exaggeration of course (one would hope), but I'm sure you catch my drift. Certainly. I still don’t understand how this justifies all the fuss over a request to change the headline starter. Aankhen

Fwiw, I disagree: I think this is to confuse syntax with view.
Model = entry with heading
Syntax = *
View = * (colorized)
Compare HTML:
Model = heading, 1st level
Syntax = h1.../h1
View = larger font-size, bold
With CSS, HTML allows you to make headings look like anything you
want. (Yes, they could even begin with a star!) But noone would
request the right to write them (h1)...(/h1) or \h1{...} instead, just
because they don't like the way angle brackets look. Yet that's the
kind of change that has been discussed in this thread.
In Org-mode, I assume the view could be changed with overlays, at a
cost in efficiency. If that were implemented, Harven could type stars,
but see bullets. He should still type stars because they're part of
the syntax, not of the view.
There is /some/ support for prettifying headlines already:

[O] Custom agenda view for properties
Dear Orgers, despite carefully reading the manual and trying out some approaches so far I could not figure out whether or not it is possible to have a custom agenda view based on a header's properties. E.g. in the agenda I can easily search for `+REVIEW=weekly` via `C-c a m` to get a list of all projects that need a weekly review. But is it also possible to have a custom agenda view for that search, like (setq org-agenda-custom-commands '((W Weekly Review ((tags +REVIEW=weekly) ;; this does not work... (stuck ) (todo SDMB) ;; review someday/maybe items (todo WAIT))) ;; review waiting items )) ? Thanks for any comment on that; the search on gmane appears to be currently broken, so I couldn't figure out if someone asked something similar before. Best, Christian

Re: [O] Time calculation: vsum?
Hi, Michael, First, I just realized I was part wrong: vsum of time values DOES work (sorry, Eric!). | Task 1 | Task 2 | Task 3 | Total | |+++-| | 35:00 | 35:00 | 4:00 | 1:14:00 | #+TBLFM: @2$4=vsum($1..$3);T | Task | Time | |+---| | Task 1 | 35:00 | | Task 2 | 35:00 | | Task 3 | 4:00 | |+---| | Total | 1:14 | #+TBLFM: @5$2=vsum(@I..@II);T But in the vertical vsum in the second example above, the right answer is misleadingly formatted, so you'd read it as 1 min 14 seconds, not 1 hr 14 mins. And I'm still failing to get the right vsum /vertically/ with times one hour or above, e.g.: | Task |Time | |+-| | Task 1 | 1:35:00 | | Task 2 | 1:35:00 | | Task 3 | 1:04:00 | |+-| | Total | 3 | #+TBLFM: @5$2=vsum(@I..@II);T Meanwhile, Michael, thanks for your elisp solution -- it's more compact than mine, and I'll be happy to steal it! But support for time calculations -- in calc formulas too -- has been added in 7.6.

Re: [O] how to change the headline starter *
Pieter Praet pieter at praet.org writes: What the OP is suggesting effectively nullifies the separation between model and view ... I'm sorry, but this is just plain wrong. The whole problem is that in orgmode there is no real separation between model and view. Any normal interactive application reads its data from one or multiple file formats, transforms them to an internal representation, applies operations to this internal representation and transforms it again for the display. One can easily change the file format, internal representation or appearance without changing the other. In orgmode, it's basicly all one and the same. The model is the same as the file format, with some additional run-time-information such as which parts of the document are visible. And the view is the same as the model, with some fontification. That's why changing the appearance of the headlines would mean to change the model and--in the end--the file format as well. Which, as you correctly stated, would create a lot of new problems. Ciao, Marcus

Re: [O] Custom agenda view for properties
Hi Memnon, 2011/7/17 Memnon Anon gegendosenflei...@googlemail.com: despite carefully reading the manual and trying out some approaches so far I could not figure out whether or not it is possible to have a custom agenda view based on a header's properties. The manual is great, but its always a good idea to also check out Worg. In this case, have a look at: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-custom-agenda-commands.html#sec-3 ((tags +REVIEW=weekly) ;; this does not work... (tags +REVIEW=\weekly\) ;; not tested, but should do It does, thanks a lot! Totally forgot about checking worg on that. Should such an example be in the manual (node (org) Storing searches ) ? Thanks for any comment on that; the search on gmane appears to be currently broken, so I couldn't figure out if someone asked something similar before. Yes. Not sure whats happening there, but several people saw that already. When gmane is non functional (this is the first time in years this happened for me, though), http://www.mail-archive.com/emacs-orgmode@gnu.org/ http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/ come in handy. Great tip as well, thanks! Cheers, Christian
Re: [O] Makefile restructuring
The ./doc directory is now also handled via a sub-make invocation. Feature-wise the user part should be complete now. I've also patched org.el to provide a placeholder to record which orgmode version has been installed and the installer will patch the installed file with that so that org-version can show it. Currently uses perl to do that, I'll probably change to sed since I don't want to require perl for installation. Some small patches so that changes to the build system do not get recorded in Emacs' ChangeLog.

Re: [O] Calendar-like view of the org-agenda
Hi, Thank a bunch for Calfw. It is great. - Add defcustoms for line drawing chars. - Added cfw:org-agenda-schedule-args variable to limit the schedule items. Is is somehow possible to change the font family used in Calfw windows only? Using my regular font, Monofur, the table gets screwed when using Unicode characters for line drawing. If I switch to e.g. Terminus everything looks properly. Thus, I'd like something like #+begin_src emacs-lisp (set-frame-parameter (selected-frame) 'font Terminus-11) #+end_sry But very local (i.e. only in 'this' particular windows). For some reason, changeing the font family for Calfw's line drawing affects all of Emacs. Thanks, Rasmus -- Sent from my Emacs

I tested some of my org-files and exported them to the OpenOffice format. When I tried to open these documents in OpenOffice, they were corrupt and could not be opened. I soon found out why. If you want to export an org-mode file to .odt, you need to explicitly set the file encoding to UTF-8 (I usually use iso-8859-1 encoding for my files), like: #-*- mode: org; coding: utf-8; -*- After that OpenOffice could open the files without any problems. I use English for communication and I have to admit that I have zero understanding of things like character sets, encodings etc. As for communicating; I'm from the border regions of The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany... And therefore I'm multilingual, and often need to type words with accents. Thanks for the above note. I surely see is a bug but my poor understanding prevents me from quantifying it further. Well... I would not really see it as a bug... As long as it is mentioned in the documentation, that org-file encoding's other then utf-8 could result in corrupt output-files. Could you please send me a minimal iso-8859-1 test.org file and the associated corrupted test.odt file? I will look in to this issue. See attachment. I can only send you the org file, because I do not have access to a working Emacs at the moment... 1. Do you have any specific requirement on how the component xml files be encoded? A cursory look at the odt exporter suggests that it could actually be emitting xml files in iso-8859-1 format while wrongly claiming UTF-8 encoding as below --8---cut here---start-8--- ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? --8---cut here---end---8--- 2. Should the xml file be always ejected in UTF-8 irrespective of how the original Org file is encoded. Yes that would seem a good solution to me... If the odt-exporter checks the files encoding, and then changes the encoding to utf-8 (maybe using a temporary buffer?) before the actual exporting, then there would be no further problems... As for the idea that the OpenOffice xml can actually be in another encoding than utf-8; I do not know how much work that would be for you, to implement in the odt-exporter. It might be to much effort... Also I don't know if such an OpenOffice document will open with no problems in all OpenOffice applications. [Notes to Self] [Notes from odbook] Para 3 of http://books.evc-cit.info/odbook/apa.html#appc-11-fm2xml says --8---cut here---start-8--- OpenDocument files are always encoded in UTF-8. --8---cut here---end---8--- Para 2 of http://books.evc-cit.info/odbook/apa.html#xml-other-char-encodings-section says --8---cut here---start-8--- XML 1.0 allows a document to be encoded in any character set registered with the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).
