Just use \pagebreak in your Org file.

 3. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible give
 the text a interline of 1.5 for certain part of the text.

#+LaTeX: \renewcommand{\baselinestretch}{1.5}

before the part you want to modify, and

to go back to a normal interline after this part.

 to merge cell like in word(example first row 1 colomn second row 4

No.

 5. It is possible when i export a org file in pdf It is possible to
 set the font size

Yes - customize `org-export-latex-classes' to your needs, adding 
\documentclass[11pt]{article} where it makes sense.

 6. Finaly it is possible to make a table that i use a lot a form that
 i can fill and it is possible with i don't know a short-cut or
 something to call this form when i need it.

It's not currently possible, but we can imagine a helper function for
that.  For now I would suggest: just store the empty table in a register:
select the table, `C-x r s', then `C-x r i' when you want to insert the
empty table again.

Re: [O] org file for reference card?

Hi Vikas,

Vikas Rawal vikasli...@agrarianresearch.org writes:

 I will try to produce an org file but the real utility would be if we
 could find a way to produce a pdf out it. 

We can write a dedicated exporter for that.  Basically, it just needs to
insert a specific header (see doc/orgcard.tex) and to convert list items
into \key{...}{...} entries -- those kinds of things are now possible
with org-element.el and org-export.el.

 My skills are limited and I
 really do not know if there is a way to specify a template that will
 export the org file with the desired layout. 

 The utility of an org file (against a tex or a pdf file) will be that
 the org gile will allow users to to easily customise their
 refcards. 

Yes -- I completely agree.

 That is, if I am interested in a subset of commands rather
 than the whole set, an org file could be easily edited and then
 exported.

 Wonder if it interests the community.

At least I am interested :)  Having an org-clone of the Org reference 
card on worg is a good start IMHO.

Thanks again!

[O] Unable to unfold a folded block having point directly after the folded block

2011-12-21 Thread Rainer Stengele
Hi,

I experience an annoying behaviour:

Having

*** Headline
:LOGBOOK:

- point is at the end of the headline
- moving one line down I am at the end of the LOGBOOK line

There I cannot open the folded LOGBOOK block with TAB.
I have to move point one character back in order to unfold it with TAB.
After that I can no more reach the end of this line like before, where I could 
not unfold with TAB.

Is this intended?
I would appreciate being able to unfold a block when being directly after the 
last character of the folded thing.
Would it make sense to be able to configure such a behaviour?

1., 2., 3. and 5. are really LaTeX questions. Both 1. and 2. can be obtained by 
using
the appropriate LaTeX class, e.g.

#+LaTeX_CLASS: report

at the top of your document will give you a dedicated title page, vertically 
centered,
and a dedicated TOC with a page break afterwards. But it will also give you 
Parts and
Chapters, in addition to Sections, etc. which may not be what you want. You can
certainly customize all of that in LaTeX, but I suspect that it's going to be a 
fair
amount of work.

You can change the font size of the text globally by adding something like:

#+LaTeX: \huge

at the top of your file. This will only take effect after the TOC however, and 
it
will not affect the font size of headings, IIUC. You can also wrap a portion of 
the
text like this:

#+LaTeX: {\huge
some text
#+LaTeX: }

to make font size changes locally.

You can also change the interline spacing, (see e.g. p. 136 of the french 
version
of A not-so-short introduction to LaTeX by Tobias Oetiker

http://mirror.math.ku.edu/tex-archive/info/lshort/french/lshort-fr.pdf

) by changing \baselineskip appropriately.

I don't understand 4. - it might be a good idea for you to provide an example
of what you want.

There are various ways to accomplish 6. : you can put the template in a file,
define a function to insert the file and bind it to a key, you can define a 
macro
or a function that inserts what you want, you can use any of the abbrev/template
systems that emacs provides...

Here is a bare-bones implementation of the first idea: you have a file

 /home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org

with the table template in it.

You define a function (put this stuff in your .emacs):

(defun stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template ()
   (interactive)
   (insert-file /home/stevep/lib/org/templates/my-favorite-table.org))

and you bind it to function-key F4 (probably not a good idea, but this is just
an example):

(define-key global-map [f4] 'stevep-org-insert-my-favorite-table-template)

Re: [O] [bug] Symbol's function definition is void: org-pop-to-buffer-same-window

2011-12-21 Thread Gustav Wikström
Just wanted to add a line here. I also encountered this problem when
upgrading to Emacs 24.0.92 on windows and started using ELPA to install the
newest release of Org.

Sebastiens comments were helpful in finding the reason for this. It seems
to relate to the fact that everything handled by ELPA doesn't load until
after the init file. Org (from ELPA) is auto-loaded first when called by
the user but the settings done in the init file still remains from the
default org-mode installation causing problems as this.

I solved it by adding the function (package-initialize) to my init file
before calling org to do things for me. I don't know if this has any bad
side-effects yet.. But please point at a better solution if one comes to
mind.

Regards
Gustav

 There was the original mistake: conditions were changed!

  Explicitly Loading `org-compat' does cure this problem... But we
  must miss a `require' somewhere, but where?  In `org.el' itself?
 
  I've just been bitten by this as well. requiring org-compat manually
 did
  nothing. My config files have not changed, just pulled latest
 org-mode,
  did a make clean and make. Suddenly my org-drill sessions don't work.
 
  Did you restart emacs?
 
  Yes. I did just then and same thing.
 
  Do you get the error with org-drill only or do you get it in the
 instances
  that Seb and Kenny Meyer report? If the former, it may be a bug with
  org-drill. Otherwise, I throw up my hands: I certainly cannot reproduce
 it.
 
  FYI:
 
  - I don't use .elc files.
 
  - I've recently upgraded to Emacs 24.0.91.1 on Windows -- not sure if the
problem appeared directly after, or a little bit before.
 
  - I began suspecting work that I could have done in a branch, and mixed
versions that way -- as I'm not yet familiar with git and switching
 between
branches.
 
  - I've deleted all my Org directory, and cloned a fresh one
 
  But it still occurs.
 
  Though:
 
  - Requiring org-compat does cure the problem.
 
  - I see calls to org-compat in every crucial Org file -- I don't
 understand
where it could be missing.
 
  - I still must try to dissecate my .emacs, or use a minimal Emacs config
 file
to see if it's reproducible that way.

 So, what was the problem in my case?  I've been trying to use the starter
 kit approach, and have a 2-file system:

 - ~/.emacs

 - ~/emacs/site-lisp/seb-conf.el (tangled from its .txt equivalent)
  which contains add-to-load-path calls for all packages (Org, Gnus, etc.)
  and all my customization.

 In ~/.emacs, I've replaced my previous:

(require 'seb-conf)

 by

(defun starter-kit-load ...)
(defun starter-kit-compile ...)
(starter-kit-load emacs/site-lisp/seb-conf.txt)

 Doing so, as it now calls `org-babel-load-file' (in `starter-kit-load'),
 and
 as that function is autoloaded in Emacs 24, Emacs was loading the Org
 version
 bundled with Emacs 24.0.91.1 -- that is, not the latest one, not the one
 in my
 Git working copy.

 This is very tricky to spot, IMHO, as all the checks done after Emacs has
 been
 started up will give partially false answers:

(locate-library org-compat) shows my git version

 as the load-path has been updated at the very beginning of loading
 `seb-conf'.

 In summary:

 - this is explained, and due to a mistake of mine;
 - this is quite tricky to detect;
 - this is a mix of different Org versions which causes the reported
 symptom.

Ugh.

 The problem it is possible to cancel the default latex title page in
 my org-file.
 It is possible te place the table of content after the custom title page.
 I know that is latex question but i want to rest in my .org file and
 not edit my .tex file.
 

This is actually not a latex question: the org latex exporter does these
things in a standard way. It may be possible to override some or all of
this behavior, but I haven't checked because I think there is a better
method.

If I were you, what I would do is make my own LaTeX class. Start from
the one closest to the desired result (probably article), incorporate
whatever changes you want from report.cls (in particular, the page
breaks you want), make whatever changes you want to the \title, \author
etc.  macros, save the result as myarticle.cls in the same directory as
your org file, and add an entry for it to org-export-latex-classes. Then
add a

#+LaTeX_CLASS: myarticle

to your org file and off you go.

In more detail:

1) I copied the official article.cls to myarticle.cls in the current
   directory with

cp $(kpsewhich article.cls) myarticle.cls

2) In myarticle.cls, I changed \@titlepagefalse to \@titlepagetrue in
   order to get a separate title page, and I added a \newpage at the end
   of the \tableofcontents macro (btw, report.cls does the latter in a
   subtler way, but never mind about that) and just for the heck of it,
   I also changed the baselinestretch - but I think this last is better done
   in a different way [fn:1]:

 need to figure out the LaTeX part to do that, but that's not as
 difficult as you might think it is at first sight - and I guarantee that
 you will have an easier time this way than fighting the org latex
 exporter, a fight that you will probably lose :-) IMO, of course.


I just did this and took a different method. I simply added:

---
#+text: \input{./title.tex}
---

to the beginning of my document. Then I created a separate .tex file with
the title. If something is recurring, maybe it's worth the separate article
class file. If not, I think it *might* be simpler to just define a custom
title page and do as above. I think I just followed this:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Title_Creation#Custom_Title_Pages

Up to you! I can't guarantee this is right; I'm on a work computer and did
this on my home one.

 Footnotes:

 [fn:1] Bastien is right that redefining \baselinestretch is better than
 mucking around with the \baselineskip as I suggested (see
 e.g. http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=linespace )

 It's probably even better to do it like this however:

 --8---cut here---start-8---
 #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{setspace}\doublespacing
 --8---cut here---end---8---

 or

 --8---cut here---start-8---
 #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{setspace}\onehalfspacing
 --8---cut here---end---8---

 or if you don't like the built-in factors, choose your own:

 --8---cut here---start-8---
 #+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{setspace}\setstretch{1.3}
 --8---cut here---end---8---

 BTW, I think the factors are logarithmic: doublespacing is about 1.66
 and onehalfspacing is 1.25 or so (depending on the font size).

One has to either a) explicitly have an empty #+TITLE: or b) set
org-export-latex-title-command to . The in-file setting for the latter
is

#+BIND: org-export-latex-title-command 

but

#+TITLE:

is easier :-)

Re: [O] Please test the new Makefile

2011-12-21 Thread Takaaki ISHIKAWA
Hi Bastien,

I have tried to install the new package in my clean VM of Suse 12.1.
I'd like to report my install experience.

 http://orgmode.org/Org-7.8.03-TestMakefile.zip

1. When I just type make, I find a fatal error message:
  Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent )
  Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

2. make all works well with the same message above.
  make all will be the default command instead of make?

3. Packages are installed into /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp.
  This is a known change in ML.

4. M-x org-version shows:
  ( @ /usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/org/org-install.el)

Best regards,
Takaaki Ishikawa

Good point. Yes. Now that I'm back at home I looked at the document and the
header stuff in the document in which I used this technique is:

#+OPTIONS:   toc:nil TeX:t LaTeX:t H:4 f:t todo:nil num:nil tags:nil
#+BIND: org-export-latex-title-command 
#+text: \input{./title-page.tex}

* first headline


Neat tip about just doing #+title: ; hadn't realized a blank would do the
same as the bind entry!

Carsten pointed that out in one of the threads that I referred to in my
other email.  I hadn't realized it back then and I didn't remember it
now until I found that thread. Time to get a new brain...
