Re: [O] List of figures
John Kitchin jkitc...@andrew.cmu.edu writes: Maybe I am missing something, what would the utility of #+toc: figures be? Is it only for export? I would make a link: [[elisp:org-list-of-figures]] where org-list-of-figures is an emacs-lisp function that would parse the buffer and present you with a list of clickable links to the figures. You could alternatively make this a new org-link, so you could also specify how it exports, eg. [[lof:click-me][List of Figures]] That would be pure org-markup, and make org more useful, and it would also happen to support LaTeX export too. I guess you would recognize figures as extensions in the file links. This is more like org-toc.el, though I'm not sure if it can be configured to pick up figures. Using org-element it should be at least be relatively easy to pick up the structure of the document, though I think the reftex/org-toc way of displaying such structure is superior to something tied to a specific line in the buffer (I may want to jump to somewhere from the bottom of my file). —Rasmus -- Got mashed potatoes.

[O] Fwd: differnace between org-id and internal links
Gotcha thx. a related question. can i map a command to open a specific header then (an org-id) one to a keybind? thx Z On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 9:24 PM, Oleh ohwoeo...@gmail.com wrote: Hya all. i cant understand what the advantages of org-id links over internal ones? in both cases it uses a fixed path right? its not like if i move my org files to another PC with different paths then the links will all work? whats the use case scenario to use org-id over internal links? As far as I understand, id links are unique, so you can have multiple headings with same name, and move them about as much you like within current file or multiple files. You can't do that with plain links which are *very* inflexible and become stale fast. Your scenario with another PC should also work, as org will search for the needed id across all known org files. So as long as the file you move across different PCs is in the search path, the links will still work. regards, Oleh

[O] Wolfram Language versus org mode literate
Back when I was younger (half an hour ago?) I would have been wowed by this: http://youtu.be/_P9HqHVPeik which is Stephen Wolfram's intro into his new Wolfram language. But what puts me (way) off is -- once again -- I'm supposedly doing all these great things, but not with any sort of accounting for what's being done. Kein Protokoll. No Story. The nature of functional programming is to build, Russian doll-style, functions that use functions that use functions etc. But without something like a literate style, your efforts are quickly lost in the details. You do stuff -- and unless you have a phenomenal memory, you've simply dug a nice, deep tunnel that is, at the same time, collapsing behind you. *You* may know what you've done, but how to make others aware and get them involved? All they see is some collapsed tunnel with a sales pitch about how you should go re-dig that very same tunnel. Typically, with software projects you have hierarchical teams that plan what the project is and what it will do and who will do what. Again, it's just the tunneling with a bit less collapsing going on behind the actual shoveling. So far, software is all about drilling into the problem, writing a bunch of code, then flogging a group of users on how to use it. No Story. Just tunneling, with varying degrees of tunnel passageway, depending on how much effort is put into shoveling by coders and their users. But this is a hopeless model that cannot scale. How many billions of lines of code are out there . . . basically lost to everyone -- even the creator? Libraries, modules? Sure, and yet the whole effort at Wolfram seems only to be taking librarian duties to the next level. But still, where's The Story? Coding, solving problems needs a Story to go along with it. I don't think computing will advance until The Story is woven into the actual coding. Yes, functional is probably a step up from OO, (Smalltalkers don't agree), but it still doesn't tell a Story. It's just more powerful tunneling equipment. Humanity is The Big Story, which, in turn, is broken down into very many sub-Stories. We're Story-oriented. Code so far is not. Code is like networks of tunnels where, for all intents and purposes, most of the tunneling has already collapsed, the tunnel paths mostly unknowable. What makes me so excited about org mode is that it's the first time I've seen literate programming move a tick up into the realm of actually creating a tellable Story. At some point in the future, you will tell a Story. The Story may be how you created an inventory system, or tracked moose in the wild. Others -- human or machine -- on hearing your Story may then want to weave it into their Stories. Now, what I see Wolfram doing is just making The Ultimate Library, one with enough AI to obviate lots of library browsing.

[O] [PATCH] Source block fontification handling indentation
I make a change to function which copies contents of source code block to temporary buffer, applies fontification through the means of relevant major mode and transcribes text-properties back to org-buffer so that they are applied on top of code in affected source code block. Primary reason for this change is to fix the problem which I describe as follows: This function is not 100% compatible with a org-edit-src facility, which provides an option to have indentation added to the code inside the block after using command `org-edit-src-code' to edit it. This command also handles removal of indentation upon insertion of the code in temporary buffer where editing of the code will in relevant major-mode. This behavior indicates presence of indentation to be irrelevant outside the context of org-buffer, and in some instances (e.g. diff-mode) presence of indentation may render the code incompatible with semantics of it's language. Here's a couple of points which guided me to implement the change in this particular way: Section of code which mirrors the fontification from temporary to org-buffer updates variable `start' for each fontified segment, allowing it to remain relevant as a value which, when added to the position of point in temporary buffer, will find position of that point mirrored upon source block in org-buffer. This variable follows same principle if `org-src-preserve-indentation' option is enabled. Segments of text fontified to be spanning several lines are broken in fashion that forces section to end at the newline and continue after the indentation. This approach prevents indentation characters to be colored in chaotic fashion when changes in background are used for fontification, e.g. diff-mode with standard emacs theme. --- lisp/org-src.el | 9 + 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) diff --git a/lisp/org-src.el b/lisp/org-src.el index d1f6879..dd3f3c2 100644 --- a/lisp/org-src.el +++ b/lisp/org-src.el @@ -922,10 +922,19 @@ fontification of code blocks see `org-src-fontify-block' and (concat org-src-fontification: (symbol-name lang-mode))) (delete-region (point-min) (point-max)) (insert string ) ;; so there's a final property change + (unless org-src-preserve-indentation (org-do-remove-indentation)) (unless (eq major-mode lang-mode) (funcall lang-mode)) (font-lock-fontify-buffer) (setq pos (point-min)) (while (setq next (next-single-property-change pos 'face)) + (unless org-src-preserve-indentation + (let ((eol (save-excursion (goto-char pos) + (line-end-position + (with-current-buffer org-buffer + (goto-char (+ start (1- pos))) + (setq start (- (line-end-position) (1- eol + (when ( eol next) + (setq next (1+ eol) (put-text-property (+ start (1- pos)) (1- (+ start next)) 'face (get-text-property pos 'face) org-buffer)
[O] orgtbl export linbread source code possible?
Dear List,
I have an org-radio table which I would like to export to latex. The
table header looks like this:
#+ORGTBL: SEND sec-6 orgtbl-to-latex :skip 3 :splice t :lend
\\cmidrule(lr){4-4}\\\cmidrule(lr){5-5}\\\cmidrule(lr){6-6}\\\cmidrule(lr){7-7}
:hline
%%
as you can see there are a lot of \cmidrules in the code which are exported to
one long latex line like this:
\cmidrule(lr){4-5}\cmidrule(lr){5-5}\cmidrule(lr){6-6}\cmidrule(lr){7-7}...
is it possible to add a linbreak after two or three \cmidrule commands so that
it looks like this
[tabular code]
\\
\cmidrule(lr){4-5}\cmidrule(lr){5-5} [linebreak]
\cmidrule(lr){6-6}\cmidrule(lr){7-7} [linebreak]
...
Thanks in advance!

I get my todo's also as events, and the UID is added as a property to the .org file. But when I run: emacs -l ~/.emacs -eval '(org-export-icalendar-all-agenda-files)' --batch It doesn't store the UID.

I see that Org-mode places tags on the same line as the task header. It also puts whitespace between the header and the tags so that the tags line up on the right side of the screen. I think I've found that org-mode doesn't line up the tags on the right side of the screen *IF* one of the tags has a space in it. Anyone else noticed that? -- David Masterson
[O] [BUG] in org-element-link-parser (lilypond file does not export to latex)

Re: [O] Blank page in LaTeX/PDF output
Attached is a simple file that demonstrates this. As is, it does not
leave a blank page. But if you remove the num:nil option from the second
line of this file, you do get a blank page.
You (probably) need koma-article class for this. (I didn't install
anything. It just worked for me.) You don't need the images.

Re: [O] Wolfram Language versus org mode literate
Great post; agreed. On Fri, Feb 28, 2014 at 11:52 AM, Lawrence Bottorff borg...@gmail.comwrote: Back when I was younger (half an hour ago?) I would have been wowed by this: http://youtu.be/_P9HqHVPeik which is Stephen Wolfram's intro into his new Wolfram language. But what puts me (way) off is -- once again -- I'm supposedly doing all these great things, but not with any sort of accounting for what's being done. Kein Protokoll. No Story. The nature of functional programming is to build, Russian doll-style, functions that use functions that use functions etc. But without something like a literate style, your efforts are quickly lost in the details. You do stuff -- and unless you have a phenomenal memory, you've simply dug a nice, deep tunnel that is, at the same time, collapsing behind you. *You* may know what you've done, but how to make others aware and get them involved? All they see is some collapsed tunnel with a sales pitch about how you should go re-dig that very same tunnel. Typically, with software projects you have hierarchical teams that plan what the project is and what it will do and who will do what. Again, it's just the tunneling with a bit less collapsing going on behind the actual shoveling. So far, software is all about drilling into the problem, writing a bunch of code, then flogging a group of users on how to use it. No Story. Just tunneling, with varying degrees of tunnel passageway, depending on how much effort is put into shoveling by coders and their users. But this is a hopeless model that cannot scale. How many billions of lines of code are out there . . . basically lost to everyone -- even the creator? Libraries, modules? Sure, and yet the whole effort at Wolfram seems only to be taking librarian duties to the next level. But still, where's The Story? Coding, solving problems needs a Story to go along with it. I don't think computing will advance until The Story is woven into the actual coding. Yes, functional is probably a step up from OO, (Smalltalkers don't agree), but it still doesn't tell a Story. It's just more powerful tunneling equipment. Humanity is The Big Story, which, in turn, is broken down into very many sub-Stories. We're Story-oriented. Code so far is not. Code is like networks of tunnels where, for all intents and purposes, most of the tunneling has already collapsed, the tunnel paths mostly unknowable. What makes me so excited about org mode is that it's the first time I've seen literate programming move a tick up into the realm of actually creating a tellable Story. At some point in the future, you will tell a Story. The Story may be how you created an inventory system, or tracked moose in the wild. Others -- human or machine -- on hearing your Story may then want to weave it into their Stories. Now, what I see Wolfram doing is just making The Ultimate Library, one with enough AI to obviate lots of library browsing. But there's still no Story. org mode, however, has the rudiments of being able to finally tell Stories. Ein schoenes Protokoll! Amen!

Re: [O] Org indent mode
Yes. We are clearly talking past each other. You need to set the org-hide text style (or face) so that it is the same color as your background. Then the stars will appear invisible. This is explained in the section of the docs I linked to: The leading stars are not truly replaced by whitespace, they are only fontified with the face org-hide that uses the background color as font color. If you are not using either white or black background, you may have to customize this face to get the wanted effect. Here's one way you might do that. Do M-x apropos and then search for org-hide. Click org-hide and then click customize this face. Then set the foreground color to be the same as your background color. Hope that helps.
