[O] [babel] Using Property Drawers to Pass Values to a Variable
I am trying to pass a variable value to a latex source code block: * Letter. :PROPERTIES: :first_name: Ian :last_name: Barton :END: #+begin_src latex var: last_name =(org-get-entry nil last_name) #+end_src However, it appears as though it's only supported for lisp. Any suggestions as how to do this? I am trying to construct a business letter template using the KOMA scrlttrs class. I have got the letter looking the way I want it in tex. I propose to use babel to produce the tex, but need a way to pass variables stored in my org file to the various komavar. I have tried org-koma-letter.el, which isn't quite flexible enough for my needs. I know there have been several postings in the list about using KOMA. If anyone is interested I found this http://stefano.italians.nl/archives/55 site a great help in getting my design the way I wanted it. Ian.

[O] [PATCH] Introduce a new variable for x11idle
Debian and other OSes already have a program called 'xprintidle',
which does the same thing as x11idle. It also handles the DPMS bug[1]
some version of X servers have.
In order to use an alternative, introduce a customizable variable
'org-clock-x11idle-program-name' to hold the actual command name.

Re: [O] Archiving logged work time
Hi Torben, Torben Hoffmann torben.leh...@gmail.com writes: Advice most welcome - I am in learning mode and want to improve my usage of org-mode. Not really an advice, but I was in a similar situation to yours, and I ended up tracking at higher level. Instead of tracking time on small tasks, I track time in thematic subtrees.

Re: [O] Python code for producing Org tables
Hi François, François Pinard pin...@iro.umontreal.ca writes: I recently needed to produce Org tables from within Python, splitting them as needed to fit within a preset width. I append the code after my signature, in case it would be useful to others (or even, if you have ideas to improve it). Thanks for the code, if some can test it and put it on worg, all the better (if you agree of course.) One thing I only realized after writing this, however, is that I wrongly thought Org mode was aligning floating numbers on the decimal period, while it merely right align floating numbers regardless of the position of the period. So, I turn my mistake into a suggestion, as I think it would be more convenient if Org mode was aligning floating numbers more appropriately. Is it a standard practise when displaying float numbers in spreadsheets/tables? If so, this is a nice Elisp challenge for anyone willing to implement it :) I won't try it myself for now. -- Bastien

Re: [O] Fix to property inheritance

Re: [O] Priority cookies in org-store-link
Hi William, William Léchelle william.leche...@ens-lyon.fr writes: As for a recent git version, calling org-store-link on a subtree records its priority cookie in the link, which therefore breaks if the said priority is changed (“no match - create this as a new heading ?”) Links not featuring the priority succeed at finding the headline which has such a priority mark, so I suggest the priority is removed from the captured link. This is now the case in master, it will be part of 8.0. Thanks for the suggestion. As a side note, testing to ask this, it looks like captured links won't take into account header text after or , hence capturing links to headlines featuring these will fail, is there a known issue about accepted characters in headlines that I'm not aware of ? There should be none, please test master if you can and report any problem. Best, -- Bastien
Re: [O] org-edit-special on inline latex
Hi Jonas,
co...@online.de (Jonas Hörsch) writes:
i recently switched from using the verbose
#+begin_latex
\begin{eqnarray}
8 = 7 + 1
\end{eqnarray}
#+end_latex
to just the inline version
\begin{eqnarray}
8 = 7 + 1
\end{eqnarray}
which is: shorter to write thus also clearer to read and as a welcome
gadget even exports to html as well.
but i see also two drawbacks:
1. syntax highlighting is lost
2. org-edit-special (C-') doesn't switch to auctex anymore[fn:1]
it would be fantastic if it was possible for org-edit-special to work on
an enclosing \begin -- \end region the same way it did on a latex block,
i.e. show a new window with the snippet in latex mode.
The support for inline \begin{...} is a convenient hack, but it's
a hack and adding features of the #+begin_src/latex blocks to it
would only make it more hackish. I suggest you use a code block
and C-c ' when necessary.

Re: [O] Problem with template expansion of previous prompts.
Hi Michael, Michael Baum maab...@gmail.com writes: Yes, you're correct, Aaron, thanks. Apparently the secondary substitutions only get processed after all the questions are asked and the template is written out to the temp buffer. So the backslash has to be escaped to survive the first round of substitutions. I kind of feel that this should be stated more explicitly in the manual. IN BOLD TYPE.

Re: [O] org reserved and special words in drawers
Hi Tony, tony day tonyday...@gmail.com writes: I've been thinking about a patch for org-mode that would give an option to place various org concepts in a drawer rather than automatically in the body of the document. The overall idea is that for some use cases, it makes sense to disturb the underlying content as little as possible. In other words, we could then /apply/ org-mode on a document rather than transforming a document into an org document. Is this doable or is it a crazy amount of work for little benefit? What is doable is to try to enhance Org so that less stuff come in the way, sure. What we may think about is a Org readable exchange format (oref?), which would take the output of Nicolas' parser, export it in Org-mode using some specific properties like TAGS: TODO: etc. The org concepts I've penciled in are: ** tags What might be the best scheme for defining tags as properties rather than in headlines? See above. ** scheduled, closed, deadline It should be possible to put these in drawers. There is a plan for this, yes. ** =todo= Can we put =todo= keywords in drawers but still easily use all the org-mode technology surrounding them? See above. ** item Would it be at all possible to define an item without actually adding a header? One solution that comes to mind is to define an item (or a subtree in other words) as all content until the next properties drawer. Is there anything else missing from this list? Maybe you can start working on a org-e-oref exporter, storying *all* metadata into properties? ... Don't know where it will lead, but who knows? -- Bastien

My real problem is that plain footnotes such as [1930] are a general nuisance to me since so many legal citations use that form. I am using a hack suggested by Jan Bocker to disable them, perform some operation and then un hack the hack. The hack is: replace [ with [ and a non-printing space when [ begins a plain footnote.
