Actually, when I used orgmobile for the first time I was not too happy to see all this property drawers suddenly appearing in my files. Alternatively to a new kind of drawer, I would think of the HIDDEN_PROP: line and an additional method which hides a drawer even more if it only contains hidden property elements. That could be done, for example, by the already mentioned custom face. That is, a drawer is clearly visible if it contains properties intend to be read/changed by the user (not marked invisible). A drawer is less visible, if it contains only properties marked as hidden. That would be great. Except, if a PROPERTIES drawer holds only hidden properties, it would be best to completely hide the :PROPERTIES: line (using outline-flag-region), rather than display it in a dimmed font. So that, unless you explicitly ask to reveal these lines, you edit the file as if they weren't there. The issue I can see with completely hiding :PROPERTIES: line is that you would then run the risk of adding text at the wrong location (between the headline and the drawer for example). At the moment when the drawer is folded you know if the point is before, within or after the drawer (even though you still can remove parts of :end: by accident with backspaces), if it isn't visible at all you don't have that ability.

Re: [O] are super-hidden technical blocks required?
Hi Folks, I thought I'd throw in my 2c on the topic. I work on org-toodledo which syncs TODO items with Toodledo.com. On first sync, it creates adds a ToodledID property to track the ID assigned by the server. In my use case, that majority of TODO items have *no* other properties. As such, many items have a PROPERTIES drawer with just the one entry. What I see is visual clutter. Many of my TODO items are also very small -- often no body at all. So the only thing beneath the item is the property drawer plus other properties like DEADLINE/SCHEDULED/CLOSED. When trying to browse my todo list, it gets a little painful when every other line is :PROPERTIES:..., or DEADLINE, etc. I rarely (never?) edit any of these properties directly manually. I either modify them via agenda mode, keys (C-c C-s), or via column view that pulls out interesting properties that I like to edit. So for me, I want the entire *drawer* to disappear, as well as SCHEDULED/DEADLINE and CLOSED lines. I've personally thought there should be an extra step in the visibility cycling: TAB - FOLDED - CHILDREN - SUBTREE - PROPERTIES S-TAB - OVERVIEW - CONTENTS - SHOW ALL (minus PROPS) - PROPERTIES ...cj On 8/1/12 9:19 PM, Torsten Wagner wrote: Hey Bastien, thanks for keeping the topic up.

The link *target* is correct, though. Was there a subsequent commit that changes things back, or maybe something else I'm missing?

[O] Change: no longer automatically evaluate embedded elisp in code block output Was: babel awk with table input: Code block produced no output.
so, the first question is, are the semantics of parsing results such that random e-lisp-looking code should be executed? (this seems dangerous, but may nevertheless be the intended semantics.) if one did *not* want that behavior, one can call org-babel-read with the inhibit-lisp-eval parameter 't, which causes it to *not* try to execute any embedded lisp-looking code [2]. The reading of values that look like lisp as lisp is intended behavior of the `org-babel-read' function at large (e.g., this is how we are able to pass in the current file name through a header argument), however I agree that this should probably not be the default behavior when reading results from a code block. It is much more likely that a person will intentionally embed elisp in a header argument, but much less likely that someone would intentionally write an awk script which returns elisp (and if that is their goal they can simple pass the awk output to an emacs-lisp code block). For this reason I've just pushed up a change which does as you suggest and inhibits lisp evaluation in the `org-babel-import-elisp-from-file' function which is only used to import emacs-lisp results from code blocks. If anyone is relying on the current behavior please complain about this change and we can look at other options. the error that eval throws is caught by org-babel-import-elisp-from-file, which then just silently returns a nil. the second question is, should it report an error to the user? This will now report the error with a message, but will still return nil for the table cell's value. Thanks, cheers, Greg Minshall hi. it appears that a left or right paren in an entry in a table makes awk not execute. here's an example (change :stdin fails to :stdin works to see it work). cheers, Greg #+tblname: fails | proto | no c code || | pscl | c code, just fine || | quadprog | (minimal) c code, just fine || #+tblname: works | proto | no c code || | pscl | c code, just fine || | quadprog | minimal c code, just fine || #+begin_src awk :stdin fails BEGIN { print starting } { print $0 } #+end_src [1] in spite of its documentation, i'm not sure what org-babel-string-read does. i thought it was removing quotation marks from strings (but wasn't sure why). but, running this in *scratch* gives: (org-babel-string-read this is \a\ test) a rather than this is a test, as i had assumed. maybe that was a bogus test? [2] changing org-babel-string-read to call org-babel-read with inhibit-lisp-eval 't causes *my code* to work. my code *also* works if i say :results output or :results scalar; i will defensively use one of these for my code. -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte

Besides, the actual service (disqus) is pretty terrible anyway. I'm always pissed when the comment I sent gets processed in weird ways yet doesn't do verbatim/code blocks. Org Mode and Octopress are both about owning your own data. They are a perfect fit. You can get email notifications of your comments or RSS (see http://www.accmanpro.com/2011/01/27/subscribe-to-all-comments-using-disqus-in-7-easy-steps/) feeds of all your comments. A simple mail filter and you own your comments. You can even save them to individual, HTML files. I'm wondering what blogging system you use and if you really own your comments as much as you think. I would argue that individual HTML files on my hard drive is a greater degree of ownership than who-knows-what in some database I think that the decision about the use of external service for comments (or anything else) is a very important question. Assuming that you can own your data, an absolute requirement for me, I think that combining a static blog with external, dynamic services is the perfect solution.

My __static__ Octopress blog is hosted by Github, displays dynamic recent tweets care of Twitter, recent Github activity via Github, has a per-article Buzz section thanks to SocialMention, and even automatically tweets whenever I add a new post via Feedburner and Gmail filters. I should add that my blog is 100% free with the exception of the computer I compose the posts on. For me, static content combined with dynamic interaction is the best solution I've found and I've used many blogging services or self-hosted blogs. Octopress is actually my second static blogging system. I used Nanoblogger before (I highly don't recommend it). I imported my posts from Nanoblogger to Octopress with relative really ease because they were both plain-text static blogs. I discuss it at http://www.neilsmithline.com/blog/2012/05/14/new-blog-tech/. Importing posts from other blogging systems that squirreled everything into a DB seemed to painful to me. Neil PS: I saw a mention of comment spam. I think that Disqus does a pretty good job of managing that. It also helps that my blog is not an attractive target as it probably has no more than two or three viewers.
Re: [O] Subscripts in URLs
Hi Ken, Ken Williams ken.willi...@windlogics.com writes: I see in http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2010-08/msg01014.html that a patch was committed back in 2010 that should prevent underscores from introducing subscripts in links. However, I'm using 7.8.03 (released 2012-01-03) and when I insert a link like so: [[http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/events/ISP/presentations/JNT_forecast_evaluation_concepts.pdf]] and export to HTML, I get a link with anchor text http://www.mmm.ucar.edu/events/ISP/presentations/JNTforecastevaluationconcepts.pdf, where forecastevaluationconcepts is subscripted. The link *target* is correct, though. Maybe you have (setq org-export-with-sub-superscripts t) or ^:t in your buffer? Otherwise the link is correctly exported here (I tested 7.8.03 and the latest version from git.) Was there a subsequent commit that changes things back, or maybe something else I'm missing? I'd like for the anchor text to just appear without org-mode's formatting stuff. This should be the default if you use either ^:nil or ^:{} HTH, -- Bastien
[O] [PATCH] Fixes org-rmail-store-link
Hello all, Attempting to save a link in an Rmail buffer fails with the error Wrong type argument: arrayp, nil. Attempting to save a link in an Rmail buffer succeeds if all headers are shown (by pressing T to toggle the display). Attempting to save a link in an Rmail summary buffer always fails with the same error, even if all headers are shown. The error occurs because org-rmail-store-link attempts to get the Message-ID header with mail-fetch-field, then remove the angle brackets with org-remove-angle-brackets. However, without showing full headers, Message-ID is hidden, and (mail-fetch-field message-id) returns nil. When this is passed to org-remove-angle-brackets, the error is thrown. The attached patch remedies this by toggling on the full header display before getting the Message-ID.

Re: [O] Introducing Octopress Exporter
PS: By coincidence I just posted an article about Org Mode in my Octopress blog :-D It is the second of at least three postings on my time management system. The Org Mode posting is at http://www.neilsmithline.com/blog/2012/08/05/time-tracking-part-2/ The posting that outlines the entire time management system is http://www.neilsmithline.com/blog/2012/08/04/time-tracking/ If you want a sneak peek at some of the next posting, you can look at the files in https://github.com/Neil-Smithline/time-tracking-experiments/tree/gh-pages/assets They include: - Android screen shots of the Time Recording Pro app: The customer and job fields are extracted from an Org agenda by some elisp I wrote, exported into TRP format, and then imported into TRP. - Gcal screen shots showing detailed recording of my activities. This is a builtin feature of TRP - Org files that are produced by Memacs. They show data that has been harvested from Gcal and imported back into Org. I have more discussion about the project at https://github.com/Neil-Smithline/time-tracking-experiments. IMO, the coolest part is that I get all this functionality for the small price of 300 lines of elisp plus some scripting to wire things together.
Re: [O] are super-hidden technical blocks required?
Hi, I would say this discussion is just showing how difficult it becomes to save all extra information provided by more and more 3rd party tools in a smart way in plain-text. I can understand both arguments * hide stuff which is not useful or needed for the user vs. * its my data and my file, I want to know what is stored in it. The extra property line is really verbose if the only element inside is a ID, a timestamp, or some other technical stuff. Imagine a single list of task each only a view words on a single line. The property drawer adds three lines to this just to add an ID. Even collapsed it still doubles the amount of lines. However, hiding even the collapsed property line has the danger that people might forget about it and that devs need to make sure that by any possible way of copy and pasting (and emacs knows many ways) those hidden lines are not left behind, that text get not added in between and the syntax remain valid for all kind of operation. I am unsure how to deal with this. Any kind of font face, special character, etc. on the next line below the title does not really give any win. There will be still a second line per tree-node. Adding something to the title line itself is tricky too. The title line is rather full already with all the possible features. I still prefer the proposed selective masking of properties to hide them. In addition maybe a flag can be set to + hide a property drawer line, + set a different font face, + or leave it as it is for the special case that the property drawer only contains hidden properties. But I frighten that this, even it might be the most flexible solution, might also be the most complex one to implement. So how to satisfy both views, a clutter free view and the awareness of what is saved in your file? Torsten
