Re: [O] taskjuggler (tj3) export issues and proposals
John Hendy jw.he...@gmail.com writes: First off let me say that I'm using the taskjuggler exporter with tj3, so it should work. This statement seems to indicate that org may work out of the box with tj3. Well if you take it out of the box it doesn't work with tj3. You need to adapt the target version and the default reports. I think it might be time to change this since most distros do not have taskjuggler2.4 anymore (except Debian stable is still happily using it) and tj2.4 doesn't even run on Windows or Mac. The exporter just makes the task_id locally unique. That's what tj expects. From your usage I guess that you have a lot of tasks with the same name (probably within different hierarchies). Both methods you outline could be implemented. Which one is more general? Maybe parent_headline_task_headline? But that gets tricking for: * Task Container ** Send product samples to X ** Send product samples to Y ** Send product samples to Z Append a number? My files are not [too] complex; perhaps the exporter should be done while thinking of how org might have worked for the Fedora tj example (http://www.taskjuggler.org/tj3/examples/Fedora-20/f-20.tjp). I had a look at the Fedora tj example. This is using tj to the max. It might not be a good use case for the tj exporter :-).

[O] empty footnotes in ODT export
I've started using the ODT exporter, which is great except that files with footnotes export empty footnotes: the in-text links and footnote sections at the bottom of the pages are in place, but the text of the footnote itself is empty. I can't think of anything special about my org file setup, including how I use footnotes, or how I export. I have no `org-footnote-section' set, so the footnotes collect at the bottom of each section. I thought it might be because the file I'm working on now has a lot of Chinese in the footnotes, but this happens with all my files. I'm just using the 'o' key from the export dispatcher. Umm… I can't think of anything else. Can I provide any more info? Anyone else seeing this? Thanks!

Re: [O] Showing evaluation buffer while executing source blocks?
Little correction: it doesn't seem to be simple after all. Emacs' single-threading kills the concept, because the display doesn't get updated during execution anyway. Does anybody have an idea, if this can be avoided? 2012/2/2 Yu yu_...@gmx.at: Hello! I wondered if there is a way to show the evaluation buffer (if any) during evaluation of commands -- in particular when the command takes a long time (e.g. when trying to document a building process involving `make' invocations) waiting for the command to finish is counter productive. Even worse if the command used turns out to cause an infinite loop. If not possible yet: At least in the case of session based evaluation, this would simply mean a construct of the form : (save-excursion : start the session if not yet started : (display-buffer session buffer) : send commands to session) The idea came up because I'm currently trying to document the building process of mathematical libraries (matplotlib, numpy, scipy) under Cygwin -- building those is pretty tricky there. And waiting for a `make' invocation to finish before seeing any result... well ^^' On a side note, as mentioned in the [O] [bug] cannot execute shell code blocks thread, for shell commands sadly this simple solution won't work, as session based evaluation never returns from the session. simple because: I couldn't figure out where this would have to be done ^^' king regards, Yu

I don't know about scim-bridge, but you can use transliteration
provided within emacs to enter the text very fluidly. As for export,
try xelatex or lualatex. They have much better unicode support. The
following should do it:
(setq org-latex-to-pdf-process
xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f
xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f
xelatex -interaction nonstopmode -output-directory %o %f)
and
# for unicode export to pdf with xelatex
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{xltxtra}
You can choose your font with something like this:
# font for pdf export as article
#+LATEX_HEADER: \setmainfont{Linux Libertine}
Make sure you choose something which supports devanagari.
It would be nice if you report back whether it worked. I would be interested.

carried around on an 8GB flash drive, and cloned on other machines, though
I've had to delete and reclone, once the repo got too large. It could be

The TaskJugglerUI exists only if you have taskjuggler2.4 installed. The exporter predates tj3 and naively assumes that there is a TaskJugglerUI executable. It should really invoke a browser on the resulting HTML report[1] when you call export-and-open, at least when you are targeting tj3. The worst part is that it doesn't even tell the user that something failed, as it invokes the executable asynchronously using start-process-shell-command (info: (elisp) Asynchronous Processes). That way you can continue to work with emacs but emacs doesn't know what happened to the subprocess. I'll have to do some more research on how to start a process in the background and still check if it succeeded. Thanks Christian Footnotes: [1] the tricky bit here is of course to find the resulting HTML, as the name of it is defined in a tj3 report definition.

Re: [O] How do teachers use org-mode
I use org-mode to keep track of grades and all other information I collect on students. I make great use of tables, table formulas, tags, headlines, and lists. I can compute a grade in milliseconds. Entering data is a snap. Since everything is plain text, I can add comments with ease and use git to keep track of everything.

Re: [O] how do scientists use org mode?

The TaskJugglerUI exists only if you have taskjuggler2.4 installed. The exporter predates tj3 and naively assumes that there is a TaskJugglerUI executable. It should really invoke a browser on the resulting HTML report[1] when you call export-and-open, at least when you are targeting tj3. The worst part is that it doesn't even tell the user that something failed, as it invokes the executable asynchronously using start-process-shell-command (info: (elisp) Asynchronous Processes).

[O] Question related to org-babel-expand-src-block
Hi all, Using the last org-mode version from the git repository (7.8.03) I've found a mismatch between the key-chord required to call function =org-babel-expand-src-block= (=C-c C-v v=) and the ones given in the info file: =C-c C-v p= or =C-c C-v C-p=. The same goes for the [[http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/intro.html][Babel: Introduction]] where the given key-chord is =C-c M-b p=. In the same line, I have a question concerning the inclusion of the /expanded/ source block in the generated output. Let's assume that I define in my =.org= file a variable containing a file name like: #+name: my-file-name : dataFile.mat I want then a code block (using =R= in that case) that checks if dataFile.mat is in the working directory with something like: #+BEGIN_SRC R :var fileName=my-file-name :exports both fileName %in% list.files(pattern=*.mat) #+END_SRC I'm passing the file name as a variable because I want to repeat the same analysis on different data files. But I would like to see in the HTML output the value of the above variable =fileName=. I would like essentially to export the expanded source block. Is there a way to do that?

Good question (I mean the *How* question): I believe this is a bug and

details).
In a nutshell, the problem is that many export operations happen in
temporary buffers. These buffers do not automatically inherit local
[...]
Nick,
Many thanks for this analysis. My gut feeling was indeed correct
(whew!), probably because I subconsciously remembered reading the thread
from Dan Davison.
The quick-and-dirty hack would be to call Dan's cloning function in the
call to with-temp-buffer, but that's not enough:
org-export-latex-fontify-headline does the temp-buffer thingie as well
and needs the same treatment. That seems to make *this* case work but I'm
almost 100% sure that that won't be enough in the general case either:
there are probably other places where temp buffers are created to do
some processing like this. They will also be subject to this problem.
I must admit I am confused as to the point of #+BIND now. I had thought
the whole purpose was to set variables to be used during the export
process but now it seems this is not the case. Or it is only the case
for some subset of the variables that may affect the export process.
I don't care whether I need to use file local variables, #+BIND, or any
other mechanism but it would be nice to have some mechanism! So, can
anybody suggest any hack around this problem? I am not terribly worried
about this as it only causes me difficulties now and again when I have a
specific type of document I need to generate for
dissemination. Usually, my default settings are fine. However, it
would be nice to have some solution to this.
I can have an emacs lisp code block which gets executed to set
the values of those variables. This works (see attachment), so long as
I don't have any other controls for settings these variables, including
file local variables or #+BIND. However, I need to manually execute
this code block if it is hidden away in a not-exported region of the
document. Otherwise, it clogs up the text (but such is life!).
Note, however, that this changes the variable value globally and so will
affect exporting of any other subsequent org documents unless they have
their own settings. Not *good* but good enough for my own use case for
the moment... and, actually, having explicit settings for export
variables in every *important* document is probably not a bad
idea. Ummm, need to think about this.

With this change, one can export to pdf (or any other popular format) via odt by a simple #+begin_src emacs-lisp (setq org-export-odt-preferred-output-format pdf) #+end_src There is no need to install additional converters. It is assumed that the user has a working and fairly recent LibreOffice installation. Footnotes: [1] http://imperfectsoftware.blogspot.in/2012/01/one-of-my-less-enjoyable-tasks-is-to.html [2] There seems to be a bunch of fairly recent bugs with this option.

I committed the changes only a few minutes ago as part of Org-mode version 7.8.03 (release_7.8.03.300.g9b820) So the Org version should be at or above the 300th version.

Re: [O] Google Tasks Integration
Hey guys... I'm the maintainer of MobileOrg for Android. We've been implementing a lot of features lately and have a big release coming up this weekend. One thing that we've been working on is being able to integrate MobileOrg with the Calendar on Android devices. I'm hoping it can make it into the release this weekend. If you want to follow the progress we're tracking it in this branch until we deem it stable enough: https://github.com/matburt/mobileorg-android/tree/calendar On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 3:35 PM, Simon Thum simon.t...@gmx.de wrote: On 01/31/2012 08:10 PM, Eric S Fraga wrote: Simon Thumsimon.t...@gmx.de writes: On 01/31/2012 02:12 PM, Eric S Fraga wrote: I would be very interested in this.

Cheers, Simon Thanks. I already have an equivalent (described here a long time ago and also on Worg, albeit out of date -- sorry). The problem is that Google doesn't export the TODO list when you ask for an ics file for a particular calendar. At least, I've not figured out how to get the list exported. I see. Is your script published? I might explore CalDAV a bit more, but from what I saw the spec, which limits one collection to one item type, may be the root cause. Although an ics can contain multiple collections, I wouldn't wonder seeing one file per item type setups. But that's just a wild guess. Cheers, Simon
[O] org-babel export latex problem
Hi, I'm new of these list and of the org-babel world.
I need to use both LaTeX and R, so I write the R code within an src
block:
#+begin_src R :results output silent :exports none
library(chemometrics)
library(MASS)
library(lattice)
#+end_src
When I export to LaTex (C-c C-e l) the R code I wrote, this is the
result:
\begin{verbatim}
library(chemometrics)
library(MASS)
library(lattice)
\end{verbatim}
How could I not display the result of the R computation? In the org-
manual (chapter 14 ) I read that what I need should be done using:
:results output silent :exports none
but despite I use this option nothing change.
Do you have any suggestion??

Re: [O] Unicode (hindi/devnagari) in beamer export
C-x C-m C-\ devanagari- TAB (pick whatever) C-h C-\ (gives you the keymap) C-\ (to switch to English again) C-\ (to switch to devanagari) This works beautifully. Thanks. I have to make a presentation for a workshop in Devnagari. Normally, I use org-mode for making the presentation. The presentation includes some work done on R and included using org-babel. So there are source codes. Now it turns out that the presentation has to be in devnagari because most people in the audience do not understand hindi. So, I have to translate my data so when they are processed in R and presented as graphs and tables, they come in Devanagari. This works. I have to type my notes in org-mode in Devnagari. I can do this using scim and also using the above solution provided by you. Then I need to export the whole thing via xetex/beamer to PDF. I am yet to get this right but Suvayu has given some clues. Will check them out and report back. Thanks both of you, Vikas

Yes, setting configurations for current session only is a huge boon for trials, but the clunky customize interface for manipulating the values is a bit annoying compared to Emacs' built in sexpr manipulation. Swapping the order of two sorting strategy entries, for example, is very painful compared to C-M-t. Is there some convenient way of, say, swapping entries in the customize interface? I would probably show the current customize setting, paste it to the scratch buffer and wrap it in a (setq VARIABLE-NAME ...) and then edit it and C-M-t, then go back to the customize view to tweak other settings. The main advantage of customize is it won't break the format. I used customize almost exclusively for 2 years when I was working with my org-mode files and have since moved to setq's only since I'm now comfortable with the elisp sexp settings. (setq org-agenda-sorting-strategy (quote ((agenda habit-down time-up user-defined-up priority-down effort-up category-keep) (todo category-up priority-down effort-up) (tags category-up priority-down effort-up) (search category-up so for the agenda daily view habits are at the bottom, and timed items are at the top, then my user-defined sorting function sorts what is left for the middle section of the list in the following order: It's still not entirely clear to me how these options work. Take habit-down, at the beginning. What do the '-down' and '-up' mean? I infer that they might have one of two meanings: in 'habit-down' the '-down' seems to mean that habits should be placed at the bottom, while in 'effort-down' I infer that it means that items with an effort property should be sorted by decreasing effort, relative to eachother. There's clearly some confusion in my mind about how these work. I came up with my current settings with a bunch of trial and error until it did what I wanted - then I moved on to something else. I'm not sure I understand all of it either :) - items with no schedule/deadline and timestamped for today - deadlines for today - late deadlines - scheduled items for today - late scheduled items - and pending deadlines last Incidentally, why did you need to create a macro which captures num-a, num-b result, for your implementation of bh/agenda-sort? AFAICT, functions which return +1,-1 or nil would have been adeqate here. What have I missed? Honestly I can't remember... I was experimenting with macros for the first time when I wrote this. The function that is called is passed in as the first argument but if an elisp function can do the job then the macro probably isn't required. What I have works now... so I'm not sure I want to try to fix it :) Regards, Bernt

Good question (I mean the *How* question): I believe this is a bug and

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35439/focus=36878 for those
details).
In a nutshell, the problem is that many export operations happen in
temporary buffers. These buffers do not automatically inherit local
[...]
Nick,
Many thanks for this analysis. My gut feeling was indeed correct
(whew!), probably because I subconsciously remembered reading the thread
from Dan Davison.
The quick-and-dirty hack would be to call Dan's cloning function in the
call to with-temp-buffer, but that's not enough:
org-export-latex-fontify-headline does the temp-buffer thingie as well
and needs the same treatment. That seems to make *this* case work but I'm
almost 100% sure that that won't be enough in the general case either:
there are probably other places where temp buffers are created to do
some processing like this. They will also be subject to this problem.
I must admit I am confused as to the point of #+BIND now. I had thought
the whole purpose was to set variables to be used during the export
process but now it seems this is not the case. Or it is only the case
for some subset of the variables that may affect the export process.
I don't care whether I need to use file local variables, #+BIND, or any
other mechanism but it would be nice to have some mechanism! So, can
anybody suggest any hack around this problem? I am not terribly worried
about this as it only causes me difficulties now and again when I have a
specific type of document I need to generate for
dissemination. Usually, my default settings are fine. However, it
would be nice to have some solution to this.
I can have an emacs lisp code block which gets executed to set
the values of those variables. This works (see attachment), so long as
I don't have any other controls for settings these variables, including
file local variables or #+BIND. However, I need to manually execute
this code block if it is hidden away in a not-exported region of the
document. Otherwise, it clogs up the text (but such is life!).
Note, however, that this changes the variable value globally and so will
affect exporting of any other subsequent org documents unless they have
their own settings. Not *good* but good enough for my own use case for
the moment... and, actually, having explicit settings for export
variables in every *important* document is probably not a bad
idea. Ummm, need to think about this.
If you (and the receiver) tangle your export-settings source code block
to init.el (:tangle init.el), then execute something like the following
source code block
#+begin_src sh
emacs -Q -l init.el examplebug.org
#+end_src
you should be able to ensure that the receiver will get the same result
you get.
Of course, anything in your .emacs (or other initialization files) that
is needed to produce the results will need to be included in
export-settings.
hth,
Tom
