fine, but I don't think we need to talk about it anymore as an

compile log to see
if there are errors about not finding the image, or try to
compile the

option which
I believe is Org's default.)
I have sometimes run into problems (mostly with BibTeX) when
the

org-latex-pdf-process is run: even though the paths may look
right in
the .tex file, if the other files used in the compilation

don't end up in the right place, relative paths can break.

[O] Is `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to alignment specified by document class options?
Hi,
Is there a way to make `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to LaTeX
class options? I have a simple example to demonstrate where it does
not:
%%%
#+LaTeX_CLASS: article
#+LaTeX_CLASS_OPTIONS: [fleqn]
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{amsmath}
\begin{gather}
b := (a \oplus s_1) \oplus s_2 \\
e := 0 \\
\end{gather}
%%%
If LaTeX is generated for this document with
`org-latex-export-to-latex`, which is compiled to a PDF with pdflatex,
the b := and the e := are left aligned i.e. the b and e are
vertically aligned.
However, if `org-preview-latex-fragment` is called within emacs, the
left alignment specified with the `[fleqn]` class option is not
honoured. Thus, the two lines in the `gather` block are centrally
aligned, which is the default case for `gather` blocks.
This is a screenshot of the PDF: http://imgur.com/YVRAlYP
This is a screenshot of the preview within emacs: http://imgur.com/S6BNm0K
So, is there a way to make `org-preview-latex-fragment` sensitive to
LaTeX class options?

Thanks, I am happy to see it makes sense.
1. This patch should also work for begin_src bash code blocks. After
a very quick glance it doesn't appear to.
I have actually tried this with the latest org-mode release (8.2.5h) and
it did plainly not accept 'begin_src bash'. Maybe that's new with the
ob-shell.el (I noticed it has been renamed :-)
2. Could you include one or two tests ensuring that this patch does what
it intends with bash code blocks, and does not affect code blocks
executed with bin/sh?
Will do, seeing it has some traction.
3. Large contributions like this require some FSF paperwork. Please see

Pascal Fleury fle...@google.com writes:
Hello,
I'dl like to propose a patch for inclusion into org-mode (ob-shell.el
in
particular).
*TL;DR:* use arrays and associative arrays when exporting variables to
bash
in 'sh' code blocks.
*Details:*
When variables are defined in a 'sh' code block, they are exported as
strings. when the variable itself is an array or a table, then we
simply
get a shell variable that contains the list of all values in a
non-structured form. E.g.
#+NAME: my_list
| one |
| two |
| three |
#+NAME: experiment
| name | first_attempt|
| date | [2014-03-27 Thu] |
| user | fleury |
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :var scalar=some value :var array=my_list :var
table=config
echo ${scalar} # - prints 'some value'
echo ${array} # - prints 'one two three'
echo ${table} # - prints 'first attempt [2014-03-27 Thu] fleury'
#+END_SRC
This will print simple strings. Also, there is no easy way to access
the
date of the experiment, for example. Now bash has things like arrays
and
associative arrays, but the current ob-shell.el does not use these.
Probably because their syntax is bash-specific, and ob-shell.el is
shell-agnostic.
My patch (attached) changes this in the case you have
(setq org-babel-sh-command bash)
in your emacs config somewhere. If any other value is used, it
continues
to
export them as we do today (I don't know enough about other shells).
In that case, it will export the list as an array, the table as an
associative array, and the scalar as it does already. So the 'sh' code
block could then use
#+BEGIN_SRC sh :var scalar=some value :var array=my_list :var
table=config
echo ${scalar}
echo ${array[1]} # - prints two
echo ${table[user]} # - prints fleury
#+END_SRC
In the case we have a bigger table, then the first row is used as key,
the
others are represented as a string with all the values (as it is for
array
currently). bash does not have multi-dimensional arrays, so it needs
to
be
a string.
This makes writing shell snippets much easier in my experience, and
there
I'd like to propose this fix for the org-mode community at large.

1) Tell Emacs not to break inline source blocks when filling paragraphs:
I suggest not to use `org-in-regexp' here but `org-element-context'.
I'm not as familiar with org-element-context, but I think the attached
is what you had in mind.
Besides inline source blocks, ISTR there was other places where filling
was inappropriate (verbatim, code, export snippet, macro...). A single
`org-element-context' will find them all.
Verbatim seems to work over multiple lines so I've left them out.
Macros and inline source blocks don't so I've included them. Not sure
what other elements to look at:
Another option for the problem at hand is to simply remove newline
characters in inline source blocks before executing them.
That might be better but would require a bit more work: at present,
inline source blocks can't extend over multiple lines so org wouldn't
recognize a construct like
src_python[:exports results]{1 + 2 +
3 + 4}
as an inline source block in the first place. Looking at
org-inline-src-block-regexp I'm not sure why though.
Patch also attached to improve link handling

Re: [O] [OT] Don't use BibTeX!
Hi Richard, If you're just starting out, I encourage you to use biblatex. It will take a few minutes to make the switch and then you won't have to think about it. A biblatex site you find googling should tell you what you need to know. There are several differences, but a big one is that biblatex supports a much more informative database and so can handle almost any bibliographic situation. For those of us with large legacy bibtex databases, the database differences are a real issue, but for someone just getting started this isn't such a consideration. Biblatex is the wave of the future in the LaTeX world. hth, Tom Richard Lawrence richard.lawre...@berkeley.edu writes: Marcin Borkowski mb...@wmi.amu.edu.pl writes: Dnia 2014-04-05, o godz. 09:46:39 Richard Lawrence richard.lawre...@berkeley.edu napisał(a): I have sometimes run into problems (mostly with BibTeX) when the Sorry for being off-topic, but I can't resist: *please* *don't* *use* *BibTeX*. On the scale of tools that solve problems vs. tools that create problems (cf. http://xkcd.com/1343/ ;)), it is located on the far right. Now now, the first sentence on http://www.bibtex.org/Using/ says that to use Bibtex, Just create a plain text file and apply what has been explained in section BibTeX File Format.! It doesn't say anything about how to use the manual. ;) (For instance, to be able to customize its bibliography style, you could (a) give up, (b) use some user-friendly (or not) front-end, having less power than BibTeX itself (obviously!), or (c) learn BibTeX's own, very peculiar, stack-based ad-hoc language grown to describe bibliography styles. Not good. Also, if you're unlucky and you write in some non-English language, well, you're unlucky with BibTeX, especially if e.g. your name starts with a non-Latin letter. Etc.) I mostly use bibtex because that's what I learned, and none of these issues apply to me at this (early) stage in my career. I have no need for customizing my bibliography style. I suppose this will matter more to me when I start sending things out for publication, but at this point I'm still just trying to write the damn dissertation... Use biblatex instead. It's more modern, it's being supported, it knowns that there exist things like UTF-8 and non-English languages, it supports more citation styles etc. I have heard this, but haven't investigated biblatex because I haven't yet really felt the need. I keep my reading list and notes in Org, then export them to a .bib file using org-bibtex. Does biblatex support .bib files? If not, what would be required to support a biblatex-based workflow in Org? Thanks for keeping me honest! Best, Richard -- Thomas S. Dye http://www.tsdye.com
[O] Biblatex and Org [was: [OT] Don't use BibTeX!]
Hi Thomas, Thomas S. Dye t...@tsdye.com writes: If you're just starting out, I encourage you to use biblatex. It will take a few minutes to make the switch and then you won't have to think about it. A biblatex site you find googling should tell you what you need to know. Well, that's the trouble...although I'm still probably a couple of years from wanting to publish anything, I'm not just starting out. I use Org to keep track of my readings and citation information, and then export this data to .bib on the fly using functions from org-bibtex. I have quite a few readings recorded this way. I described my setup a while ago here: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/78983/focus=79016 So I'm not really tied to BibTeX, but I *am* relying on org-bibtex. I'm certainly willing to switch to biblatex if that's going to save me a lot of time or headache in the future. What I need to know is what's required to switch over the parts of my setup that originate in Org. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like I can keep using this part of my setup, because biblatex supports the .bib format: #+BEGIN_QUOTE biblatex can be used with or without BibTeX the program since its default backend Biber uses fully supports the BibTeX file format (bib) and users should be able to move to biblatex will little or no changes to their BibTeX data files when using Biber as a backend. (from section 2 of the biblatex manual at http://mirror.hmc.edu/ctan/macros/latex/contrib/biblatex/doc/biblatex.pdf) #+END_QUOTE So it looks like switching to biblatex is just a matter of changing my compilation process and the bibliography commands in my documents. Does that sound right? Thanks for your advice! Best, Richard
