Hi Marius,

the difference between date and SCHEDULED: date is that date will
cause the entry to appear in the agenda only on the given day, whereas
SCHEDULED: date will also cause the entry to be displayed on the
current day if it is scheduled in the past and has not been marked DONE yet.

To see what I mean, put the following entries into an agenda file:

* Test 1
  SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat

* DONE Test 2
  SCHEDULED: 2011-11-05 Sat

* Test 3
  2011-11-05 Sat

Because Test 1 it is not marked done, if you refresh your agenda view
today, you will see something like this:

 Sched. 2x:  Test 1

Test 2 does not show up because it is marked DONE and Test 3 does not
show up because it does not contain the SCHEDULED keyword.

(Note that Test 1 will only show up on the agenda view for today and the
day it was scheduled for when you look at the agenda view for a day in
the past or future, for example by using the weekly or monthly view or
going forward/backward with the f and b keys.

For more information, please refer to Section 8.3, Deadlines and
scheduling, in the Org manual.

Hope this helps,
  Jan

[O] org-capture-template: How to correctly capture email addresses?

[Marius Hofert]

Hi,

I would like to capture contacts (name, email,..) with org-mode and thus setup 
the following in .emacs:

(setq org-capture-templates
  '((t TODO in ~/org/agenda.org - Tasks entry (file+headline 
~/org/agenda.org Tasks)
 * TODO %?\nSCHEDULED: %^t\n%U %a)
(c Contact in ~/org/contacts.org - Contact entry (file+headline 
~/org/contacts.org Contact)
 * %?%(org-contacts-template-name) %^g
:PROPERTIES:
:EMAIL: %(org-contacts-template-email)
:URL:
:WORK:
:HOME:
:MOBILE:
:LOCATION:
:BIRTHDAY: 
:NOTE:
:END:)))

I can easily capture contacts with C-c c c, it prompts for the name, a tag, and 
the email address. However, instead of an output like 

* My contact :my.tag:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EMAIL: my.cont...@my.mail.com
  :URL:
  :WORK:
  :HOME:
  :MOBILE:
  :LOCATION:
  :BIRTHDAY: 
  :NOTE:
  :END:

I obtain:

* My contact :my.tag:
  :PROPERTIES:
  :EMAIL:
  :URL:
  :WORK:
  :HOME:
  :MOBILE:
  :LOCATION:
  :BIRTHDAY: 
  :NOTE:
  :EMAIL: my.cont...@my.mail.com
  :END:

So the problem is that the first :EMAIL: is ignored and instead a second 
:EMAIL: is inserted before :END:. How can I obtain the correct output (as 
described above)?

Cheers,

Marius

[O] How to set up anniversaries/birthdays with org-contacts-anniversaries?

[Marius Hofert]

How can I set up anniversaries with org-contact?

My agend.org file contains the following, as mentioned on the bottom of 
http://julien.danjou.info/org-contacts.html

#+STARTUP: showeverything
* Birthdays
  %%(org-contacts-anniversaries)

My contacts.org file contains (e.g.):

:EMAIL:  my.cont...@my.address.org
:URL:
:WORK: 
:HOME: 
:MOBILE:
:LOCATION:
:BIRTHDAY: 2000-01-01
:NOTE: 
:END:

When I access agenda view via C-c a a, I obtain:

Bad sexp at line 3 in /Users/myusername/org/agenda.org:

Note that line three corresponds to %%(org-contacts-anniversaries)

[O] Bug(?) report footnotes

[Markus Grebenstein]

Dear Orgmode community,

last week I submitted a journal paper of appr. 30 pages using orgmode 
and latex export and I ran into trouble regarding footnotes several times.


The document didn't compile due to wrongly set brackets of footnotes if:
A footnote is placed without a blank line infront of a heading that is 
exported as itemized.


so
 [fn:xyz]
 Heading

was exported to something like

\footnote{asdfsdfasdfasdf \begin{itemize} qwerwerwqe}

since the document has been quite big it has been really plenty of work 
to find these errors.


If of any interest I can try to reproduce this in a less than 9500 word 
ducument.

P.S.: I used the IEEEtran class.

Dear community,

since I used Scrivener (Windows Beta) quite a while I'd love to have 
more of fletcher penny's multimarkdown (or MMD- like Syntax) integrated 
in orgmode to make it more versatile. Sadly I am not a lisp programmer 
at all...

[O] #+STARTUP: content: How to expand only some sections on startup?

[Marius Hofert]

Hi,

as described on http://orgmode.org/manual/Visibility-cycling.html one can set 
#+STARTUP: content to start an .org file with all headlines shown, the default 
is overview. I tried to put #+STARTUP: content in some sections hoping that 
they will be expanded on startup while other sections will not be expanded (so 
following overview). 
Is something like this possible?

It probably does, but that's probably not the best place to do it: it 
might be
better to do it in the (setq link on line 9090 or thereabouts. 
Otherwise, in
the *other* case (editing the link at point), we'll end up unescaping 
twice:
probably not a problem, since unescaping should be idempotent (in 
contrast to
escaping ;-) ) but why do it twice?
   
  
   Brian Wightman pointed out to me that the idempotent part of the
   statement above is definitely wrong (d'oh). The original URL that Jeff
   Horn posted, when unescaped once, would be completely free of % signs.
   But if the second (doubly-escaped) form is pasted into the minibuffer,
   then unescaping once would not be enough. So I presume the thing to do
   is to take the URL and unescape it repeatedly until it loses all
   escapes, and then escape it *once* before inserting it in the org
   buffer.
  
   Sounds icky, kludgy, dirty. The question is: 1) is it a solution?
   and 2) is there a better one?
 
  No, this wouldn't be a solution. Consider a link with the sequence
  %2525 -- Unescape until no more escapes (or rather escapes) will
  produce a single `%', not %25. Either escape once, or not at all.
 
  What roughly happens is this:
 
  1. The user enters a link via `org-insert-link'
  2. Org escapes the link and writes it to the buffer
  3. The user opens the link with `org-open-at-poin'
  4. Org reads the link from the buffer and unescapes it
  5. The link gets escaped and passed to the cosuming application (i.e. 
  browser)
 
  For steps 2 and 4 it is guaranteed that
 
  (string= link (org-link-unescape (org-link-escape link)))
 
  Thus, the problem is not in 2 or 4, but in 1 or 5.
 
  Step 5 assumes, that a link entered by the user in step 1 was an
  unescaped link and thus needs escaping before it is passed to the
  cosuming application. If you enter a link in step 1 that already is
  escaped, this assumption fails and you'll end up with a double-escaped
  link that is passed to the consumer.
 
  In other words, the question is: How to decide whether an arbitrary
  URL is percent-escaped or not?
 
  Now here's the problem: You can't. Is
 
  http://example.tld/foo%40bar;
 
  already escaped or not? You can't tell for sure. It depends on the
  application you copied the link from.[1]
 
  What we could do in step 5 is... guess. If the (unescaped) link
  produced by step 4 does contain characters that need escaping, we
  escape the link. Otherwise we don't.
 
  Not quiet sure about the impact of such a change.
 
  Best,
   -- David
 
  [1] Even worse: It may even depend on /how/ or /where/ you copied the
  link. E.g. the link to a wikipedia page about set theory is copied as
 
  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menge_%28Mathematik%29
 
  if C-c'ed from the address bar but copied as
 
  http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Menge_(Mathematik)
 
  if C-c'ed via Copy link to clipboard at another page (Iceweasel
  3.6.23).

 What a mess - thanks for the clear explanation. Be that as it may, the
 treatment of links in org-insert-link is inconsistent: in one case, the
 link is unescaped once, in the other not at all.

Hm. I still don't see an inconsistency here: `org-insert-link' reads a
link, `org-open-at-point' calls the target application with exactly
this link but applies percent escaping.

Maybe we could drop this last escaping and push the responsibilty of
handling non-conformant URLs to the target application. After all: If
the user enters an unescaped link and the target application can't
handle it, it's the users fault.

 So I presume that a single unescaping is desirable (it would
 e.g. deal with both wikipedia links correctly). But there will be
 corner cases where this will fail and some manual editing of the
 link will be necessary,

If you mean unescape the user input in step 1 (`org-insert-link'):
This could work, too. Besides the edge cases it requires some care to
stored links (via `org-store-links') -- the percent character is a
valid character for certain link types (e.g. message ids).

Personally I start to like the idea of just dopping the escaping
before calling the target application.

Somehwere/somehow Babel ends up calling `member' with the second

 So, finally, here's my question: would it be possible to change all the (eq

Please see Carsten's post about the issue:

[O] #+begin_src LaTeX blocks export to literal LaTeX

[Michael Bach]

Dear org-mode community,

I am configuring my LaTeX export setup and found LaTeX src blocks very
nice for the font lock they provide and the possibility of having AUCTeX
activated for that block by =C-c '=.  However, org's LaTeX exporter puts
them into a \verbatim environment by default in the resulting LaTeX
file.

I looked into the documentation whether some src flags could accomplish
this and found none.  I see that an option `:exports literal' would be
rather too much, since it probably only really makes any sense for this
specific use case.  But it would be nice nonetheless...

Did I make myself clear?  Or is there a better approach to this?

Thanks in advance!

[O] [PATCH] Category filtering in the agenda

[Bastien]

Dear all,

here is a patch implementing category filtering in the agenda.

The patch is not 100% clean wrt documentation, but I throw it
now to get some feedback and some testing done. 

Press  in the agenda to filter by category.

Press   to filter by the category of the entry point.  
Another / / removes the filter.  / +   filters by the 
default category (General) since everything is in a category.

I find this last function quick and useful, so I also implemented 
it for tag filtering: pressing / / filters by tags from the entry
on the current line.  A second / / removes the filter.

Let me know if the category filtering works ok with you, and 
if you find the new / / behavior useful.  

There is one limitation for now: it does not combine with Effort
filtering.

Thanks,

org-version checks where it finds org-install.el and reports the full
path so that it should be easier to spot when the load-path has been set
up wrongly and/or the (newer) installation of org is missing
org-install.el, but it is reachable in an older installation.

I've added a target compile-dirty that doesn't include the invocation

Re: [O] Makefile restructuring

FYI, if Org is insalled through the package manager there is no
org-install.el. Package manager creates autoloads on it's own and names
it org-autoloads.el.

I believe, for most part, org-install and org-autoloads have the same
functionality.

 Recent changes in my Makefile fork:

 org-version has been changed to always get the version information from
 org-install.el.  This way, there is no need to invoke a shell in
 org-version or to keep any version information in org.el.  Additionally
 org-version checks where it finds org-install.el and reports the full
 path so that it should be easier to spot when the load-path has been set

It shouldn't be too difficult to use the same method in the Makefile
once I understand how it's done.

This is what I see in package.el.

--8---cut here---end---8---

If we reconcile what happens here with what is done in Makefile, may be
we can uncover why certain macros in org-macs.el doesn't propagated to
some set of files.

Note that org-macs.el issue is increasingly reported only with emacs-23
and not with emacs-24. One of the reason could be that emacs-24
*already* has most of the macro definitions in the system path. This is
not the case with emacs-23 installations which have (much?) older
versions of org.

From what I understand package manager compiles files in alphabetical
order. It means that org-macs.el gets compiled after org-agenda.el.

Also when eval-when-compile is done of org-macs.el - somewhere it should
be done right? - I don't know which of the org-macs.el gets loaded. Is
it system-installed one or the one in the distribution tar.

These are some of the leading questions that will lead to satisfactory
resolution of recently reported issues with package manager.

Re: [O] [PATCH] Category filtering in the agenda

[Ian Barton]

here is a patch implementing category filtering in the agenda.

The patch is not 100% clean wrt documentation, but I throw it
now to get some feedback and some testing done.

Press  in the agenda to filter by category.

Pressto filter by the category of the entry point.
Another / / removes the filter.  / +   filters by the
default category (General) since everything is in a category.

I find this last function quick and useful, so I also implemented
it for tag filtering: pressing / / filters by tags from the entry
on the current line.  A second / / removes the filter.

Let me know if the category filtering works ok with you, and
if you find the new / / behavior useful.

There is one limitation for now: it does not combine with Effort
filtering.



I get the folllowing error with the latest HEAD:

 I could install it from there and Org appeared to be updated to

 This could be repeated infinitely, i.e., I always got this error
 message when running package-list-packages and it always offered me
 to install Org. Now I downloaded the tar-file manually and installed
 it with package-install-file. Now org-eval-in-environment is found
 normally. After package-list-files I still get the message Failed

 I hope that was more helpful. If you need more information, I will be
 happy to try to provide it. 
 
 I am trying to isolate the root cause of the issue here. Hope you can
 help me locate the root cause.
 
 Try the following procedure:
 
 1. Store the org-*.tar that you have downloaded in some safe place.

 Done.

 2. rm -rf ~/.emacs.d/elpa/org-* {BE CAREFUL HERE, YOU ARE DELETING
   STUFF}
   - In this step you are deleting your org installed through elpa.

 Done.

 3. Check your .emacs - Does it make have (require 'org-install)? If it
   has this entry remove that line or comment out that line.

 Commented out.

 4. Restart emacs
 5. M-x locate-library RET org RET
 6. Note the directory reported. 
   - If it looks like it is coming from your default Emacs installation
 directory then proceed to step 7. 

 Obviously the directory I just added.

 
   - If it looks like it is one of the directories added by you, delete
 that directory from either load-path or simply delete it from the
 disk. (To be safe, instead of deleting you can just rename or move
 the directory somewhere else). Goto step 4.
 7. Note the version of Org with M-x org-version RET.

 Renaming the folder didn't help because Emacs still found it. Moved
 the folder and now M-x locate-library RET org RET points to the
 original directory.

 M-x org-version RET - Org-mode version 6.33x

 Now do a M-x
   package-install-file RET

 Your procedure is exactly what I did eventually to get it running. It
 worked, when I installed org via package-install-file RET. Instead,
 now I am reporting in detail what happens when I do M-x
 package-list-packages:

 I get the message: 

 Failed to download `Org-mode' archive.

After reconfiguring package-archives, you haven't saved it for future
sessions or you forgot to recompile your .emacs.

 It still lists the newest version of org-mode along the packages.

This is OK. Because org mode gets updated daily. You are actually seeing
the tar files from here.

http://elpa.gnu.org/packages/

 I hit Install.

 I get a couple of error messages. Find attached the complete compile
 log.

 Emacs restart.

It all depends on why you're scanning them in the first place.

75dpi is fine when scanning with collaboration/quick-reference in mind,
but for archival/backup purposes (i.e. absolute peace of mind when your
whole collection of dead trees burns, drowns, or is simply disposed of)
or OCR, you'll want to go with 600dpi and beyond.

  What a mess - thanks for the clear explanation. Be that as it may, the

 Hm. I still don't see an inconsistency here: `org-insert-link' reads a
 link, `org-open-at-point' calls the target application with exactly
 this link but applies percent escaping.
 

No, I mean the handling in org-insert-link itself:

line 9048 says

(setq link (org-extract-attributes
(org-link-unescape (org-match-string-no-properties 1


but further down, on line 9114 the link is not unescaped:

(setq link
  (let ((org-completion-use-ido nil)
(org-completion-use-iswitchb nil))
(org-completing-read
 Link: 
 (append
  (mapcar (lambda (x) (list (concat x :)))
  all-prefixes)
  (mapcar 'car org-stored-links))
 nil nil nil
 'tmphist
 (car (car org-stored-links)

The last line of org-insert-link then takes the value of link (unescaped in
one case but not the other), passes it to org-make-link-string and inserts
the result.

That's what I thought was inconsistent.

Nick

 Maybe we could drop this last escaping and push the responsibilty of
 handling non-conformant URLs to the target application. After all: If
 the user enters an unescaped link and the target application can't
 handle it, it's the users fault.
 
  So I presume that a single unescaping is desirable (it would
  e.g. deal with both wikipedia links correctly). But there will be
  corner cases where this will fail and some manual editing of the
  link will be necessary,
 
 If you mean unescape the user input in step 1 (`org-insert-link'):
 This could work, too. Besides the edge cases it requires some care to
 stored links (via `org-store-links') -- the percent character is a
 valid character for certain link types (e.g. message ids).
 
 Personally I start to like the idea of just dopping the escaping
 before calling the target application.
