Re: [O] using org-refile to sort research notes?
Richard and Alan, Thanks for the feedback. It looks like this is turning into a larger discussion of how to organize a workflow for writing a book. Which is great - I could use some insight. My problem is I have dozens of disparate files, each created in a different moment of inspiration and each containing notes, strategizing, or actual writing for the book. Richard: You have all your notes in one notes.org file, and you have another file e.g. writing.org for actual writing? How do you then work - do you, say, split your frame into side-by-side windows, writing in the right window while working off of notes from the left? And to anyone using org-mode for book writing: Do you put thoughts about structure, tone, and objectives for each section along with the research notes? Do you make use commenting at all? If this is off-topic for the list, I'd be happy to discuss them off-list via email. Or if there's interest, I could create a separate list for 'org-mode for writers.' Thanks again, Jay --- Jay Dixit jaydixit.com (646) 355-8001 ᐧ
Re: [O] Keyboard macro and org-mode

If I turn off org mode and use a simple text mode, the keyboard macro works ok. Is this a bug or am I doing something pretty dumb? Would help if you shared the macro. Some ideas for troubleshooting: 1. you can inspect and re-edit the macro by calling `edit-last-kbd-macro', 2. you can name the last macro with `name-last-kbd-macro', you can then get the lisp source and save it in .emacs with `insert-kbd-macro' (see: (info (emacs) Save Keyboard Macro)).

[O] Export Agenda to Google Calendar ICS Format
Cross-posted from http://stackoverflow.com/questions/23463962/emacs-export-calendar-bad-timezone-format-in-ics Using orgmode I export my agenda to an ics file, upload it to my site, and import it into Google calendar. This seems like an easy ideal solution, but when I check the calendar I find that it is not recognizing the time zone of my ics file and so is assuming GMT, making my imported times uselessly off. The problem seems to be the same as the one described here: http://blog.jonudell.net/2011/10/17/x-wr-timezone-considered-harmful/ Checking my exported ics, sure enough, it is using X-WR-TIMEZONE:EST, which Google calendar does not respect. This must be a well-known problem, but I haven't been able to locate a solution anywhere. Help would be appreciated: how can I get the right time on my events (and they must be a feed; the add to calendar trick is no good)?
Re: [O] [RFC] Rewrite indentation functions
Hello, Eric Abrahamsen e...@ericabrahamsen.net writes: One last thing! In the course of this I also noticed that, in a buffer that contains a broken property drawer, you can't set properties on *any* other heading. When `org-buffer-property-keys' goes looking for valid keys used elsewhere in the current buffer, it calls `org-get-property-block' on the broken drawer, and errors when that function returns nil. I tried changing the call to (org-get-property-block nil nil t), and that seems to solve it: at least the broken drawer is repaired, and I can successfully set properties. Dunno if that's the right way to handle it, though. IIUC, this problem is unrelated to indentation. Would you mind starting a new thread for this, with an ECM? Thank you. Regards, -- Nicolas Goaziou
Re: [O] using org-refile to sort research notes?
Hi Jay, Regarding org-refile: I just keep all my current projects in my agenda list. I then set up org-refile-targets to (org-agenda-files :maxlevel . 6). This allows me to quickly refile a subtree to any subtree in any project that I am currently working on. (I use this frequently to organize my reading list, but I also use it to organize todos and reorganize sections in my thesis). I also found that setting org-outline-complete-in-steps to nil and setting org-agenda-use-outline-path to t makes refile much quicker. I just call org-refile and then begin typing the name of the top-level header that I want. I can then use tab completion to get to any subtree I want. If you have many identical top level headers this may not be an ideal setup, but for me it works well. To make this process faster I use org-speed-commands, and I have even added a key-chord shortcut for org-refile so I do not have to be at the beginning of the headline to refile. One of my projects for today is to organize some free writing I did before I developed my current system, and this setup will make the process much quicker. Now regarding workflow. I use four files to organize my thesis and other projects. I have a Readinglist.org file that contains all of the sources for research. This is organized by topic, and tagged with various todo states (FIND READ ANNO | NOTES). I keep many of my generic notes on the topics in a few notes headlines at the beginning of each topic. A subtree view of a headline from this file might look something like this: * Moral Responsibility ** Goals for these Texts ** Important Claims Supported by Multiple Sources *** Claim 1... *** Claim 2 ... ** Important Quotes . . . ** Other Notes . . . ** Sources *** READ Kant's Account of Imputation, By Famous Kant Scholar. . . . I also use org-bibtex to keep bibtex info in each source subtree, and I can create a current bibtex file whenever I need. Then I have my Thesis-projects.org file. It has an outline of my thesis and todo states for each section. I set up an org capture template for this file, so if I think of something that I need to do while I am writing I can quickly capture a todo that links to the subtree I am working in. It goes into the inbox for this file and then at the end of the week, I organize these todos into the appropriate subtree with org-refile. I also have a GTD.org fil. It contains all the projects and todos that are not directly related to the thesis, and I have an org-capture template set up to the inbox of this file. It is not technically part of my writing workflow, but if I remember that I have to pick up groceries after my workday, I allows me to quickly capture a todo, and get back to work with a clear mind. Finally I have my Thesis.org file. It contains my thesis as well as notes specific to each chapter, and old drafts of chapters that I have not yet completely rewritten. The notes go in a COMMENT subtree at the beginning of each chapter, and the old drafts go in an Old Drafts tree tagged :noexport:. (I find it most useful to have my notes and old drafts right at hand for writing, but Richard's solution seems reasonable as well.) When it comes to actual drafting I use indirect buffers to put my notes for the chapter, or an earlier draft on one side of the screen and my current draft on the other. This allows me to keep distractions at a minimum. Additionally, I tag all todos and readings associated with a particular chapter :chap1:, :chap2:, etc. This allows me to quickly call an agenda that gives me a clear idea of what still needs done for each chapter. Hope that is helpful. All Best, Leonard ᐧ

Although I cannot be sure, it seems to me that the problem may be that biblatex
is not looking for references.bib in the right place.
I had similar trouble when I started using citations (then with bibtex). I
then solved it by create a link to the bib file in the working directory, and
continue to use that solution for everything I write.
In your working directory, where you org file is, just create a symbolic link:
ln -s /home/boudiccas/.emacs.d/research/references.bib references.bib
If my diagnosis is correct, that should solve the problem.

[O] Folding in iESS R buffer
Hi
I have modified the variable transfer in ob-R.el so that the variable
transfer code is enclosed as can be seen below.
My idea is that I can fold the R output so that the variable transfer is
collapsed. I understand that I can use one of the org-outside-org minor
modes [1] (presumibly utshine?) - but I can't figure out how.
My questions are:
1) which enclosing should I use to fold the transfer code away?
2) which minor mode should I use for this and how can I configure it?
Cheers,
Rainer

[O] Follow up on bug
Hi all, I just wanted to follow up on a bug that I posted. It was caused by a series of changes to org-insert-headline. My original post was buried in a particularly long exchange (http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/84564/focus=85798), so it may have been missed. The problem is that if you call M-RET at the beginning of a blank line, it will always give you a first level header. This was caused by a fix to a previous more minor bug that I reported (Calling M-RET at the beginning of a regular line would put a header above this line rather than turning the line itself into a header). Anyway the bug can be fixed by reverting commit 0ca4092. Reverting the fourth hunk of commit b8c85a1 should fix the original bug that commit 0ca4092 was trying to address. All best, Leonard

I am not sure exactly how to elegantly do what you wish to do, but if your tag list is not too extensive, you may be able to simply exclude all the tags you don't want. If you do not currently have a complete list of tags, you can get one by attempting to add a tag to headline by calling C-q and then pressing tab. That should give you a completions buffer with a list that includes all tags in the current .org file. Then just add all the tags you don't want to org-export exclude tags or to an #+EXCLUDE_TAGS line. It's not elegant but it should work.

[O] Non-scheduled repeating tasks
Hi, I've been thinking about how to integrate tasks which are to some extent tracked elsewhere into my org-mode workflow, such as for example read N chapter of book A or watch K video lectures at X. I'd like a way to describe in org-mode that a task should be completed a number of times, and then have org-mode let the task recur a number of times, possibly with a cool-down period (but that's not really necessary). The normal progress cookies % and / would preferrably be used to indicate progress in the TODO headings themselves. 1. Has something like this been attempted by anyone else before? 2. Which org-mode hooks would be a good place to start integrating something that would both potentially block TODO transitions and have to read/write properties and/or special drawers in org-mode? At first, I thought that the problem could be trivially solved with the org-blocker-hook, but I realised that it said it shouldn't update the org buffers, and my function needs to in order to update the state for blocked tasks (e.g. increment the counter). Thanks in advance! Albin

The easiest solution is to use a modern TeX engine like XeTeX or LuaTeX

Well put!
I really recommend using XeTeX for most things. There are some caveats
though. Clipping is a bit iffy, sometimes it warns as not supported but
works anyway :-p. Sometimes it has trouble including slightly
non-standard pdf images whereas pdfTeX works fine. There are also a few
packages here and there that are still not completely supported. IIRC,
either one of the TikZ math libraries or a 3rd-party TikZ library (maybe
tikz-3dplot) is incompatible.
That said, I attached a sample pdf with lots of unicode produced with
XeLaTeX and Linux Libertine. As you can see, some glyphs are missing
from Linux Libertine, but otherwise it looks pretty good!
I personally use XeTeX with
Linux libertine fonts. You can find my setup here:
https://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/org-mode-config.el#L176
That is a nice resource - thanks!
Glad you like it.

Also, as Leonard suggested, I would create a tex file, and work on it from the

Compile the tex file, run biber and then compile the tex file again. This would

Hi Sharon, Your setup seems to only call bibtex once. I find that with biblatex this is usually not enough to resolve references. I would call bibtex a second time after the second run of biblatex. All best, Leonard
[O] Bug with subscripts and superscripts
Hi. I think there's a bug in org-mode, related with subscripts and superscripts. This is the problem: pastie.org/9142947 And here's the related documentation page: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Subscripts-and-superscripts.html To avoid interpretation as raised or lowered text, you can quote ‘^’ and ‘_’ with a backslash: ‘\^’ and ‘\_’. I think that's not working (adding a backlash to avoid interpretation of raised or lowered text). I'm using 24.3.50.1 with Xubuntu.

Your problem (both in this email and in the other thread you have

You should have something like this:

I assume you have been using bibtex mode in Emacs to define these? If

automatically. The actual entries are key, volume, number and pages...

Re: [O] exporting α/β to latex/pdf
The *easiest* solution is to just say \alpha and \beta in the org file
instead of α and β. But biting the bullet and adopting XeTeX or LuaTeX is
probably the *best* way to go (he says without ever having used either...)
For those who stick with pdflatex, you can also use α directly in the
org document, and define
#+latex_header: \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
#+latex_header: \declareunicodecharacter{03b1}{α}
Provided your file is indeed encoded in utf-8 (but why would you use any
other encoding?)
This simply tells the compiler to bind α to the unicode character
greek small letter alpha (U+03B1). If there is a lot of unicode in the
document, XeTeX/LuaTeX are definitely better choices.

The only thing I would suggest is changing H:2 to H:3 as your 3rd level headings are being converted into bullet list items. A specific formatting question: I have several source code blocks with captions. The captions are formatted exactly the same as normal paragraphs. Will worg use a different CSS style for captions? If not, what do I have to do to make it do that? (At least, display the captions slightly smaller.) The HTML code produced by the normal HTML export, which is what I assume Worg uses, has the captions as special label classes (org-src-name) so CSS could easily be defined if not there already. -- : Eric S Fraga (0xFFFCF67D), Emacs 24.4.50.2, Org release_8.2.6-923-g233c11

[O] Using KOMA and Memoir?
I have tried to get KOMA and Memoir work in Org-mode. In short: I only get error messages telling me they are unknown LaTeX classes. I have looked in the archives with little success. All I find is a KOMA letter thing. I have looked all over the web (no, not really) but with little success. I am in the middle of a small project for which I think KOMA's article class is a better choice than the ordinary article class. How do I make it work? Is it even possible?

Re: [O] Export to iCalendar only not DONE, scheduled tasks?
Hi
I've been searching round the manual, and blogs, to find a way to do this.
I want to export all of the scheduled/deadline tasks that are not in a

pretty sure this can be done. I export only events to an ics file that
have a start and an end date and are not in a certain category. For this
I use
(defun org-mycal-export-limit (content backend info)
Limit the export to items that have a date, time and a range. Also
exclude certain categories.
(when (eq backend 'icalendar)
(setq org-tst-regexp \\([0-9]\\{4\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\}-[0-9]\\{2\\} ...
[0-9]\\{2\\}:[0-9]\\{2\\}[^\r\n]*?\\))
(setq org-tstr-regexp (concat org-tst-regexp --?-? org-tst-regexp))
(save-excursion
; get categories
(setq mycategory (org-get-category))
; get start and end of tree
(org-back-to-heading t)
(setq mystart(point))
(org-end-of-subtree)
(setq myend (point))
(goto-char mystart)
; search for timerange
(setq myresult (re-search-forward org-tstr-regexp myend t))
; search for categories to exclude
(setq mycatp (member mycategory org-export-exclude-category))
; return text if ok, nil when not ok
(if (and myresult (not mycatp)) content nil
(defun org-mycal-export ()
(let ((org-export-filter-final-output-functions
'(org-mycal-export-limit)))
(org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files)))
NB org-export-exclude-category is defined somewhere else
You can look up org-export-filter-final-output-functions and other hooks
at http://orgmode.org/worg/doc.html. I overwrite that hook and have it
return the content if I like the item and skip it by returning nil if I
don't like it.
You can probably use org-entry-is-done-p or org-get-todo-state to figure
out if your entry is DONE or not and org-get-scheduled-time/
org-get-deadline-time to figure out if it's scheduled.

Re: [O] Bibliography woes!
Hi, As Henry just noted, one of your main problem is your bibtex key. It should not contain spaces, commas, backslashes, semicolons, or other special characters that might mess up the syntax of the bibtex file. A common convention is to use author:year or if you have many articles by the same authors in the same year you can use author:yeara, author:yearb etc. All best, Leonard

Or perhaps that's a one time thing -- maybe as long as biber generates the .bbl file, you can refer to anything you want in that file from then on? I've found latexmk to be the best tool for compiling LaTeX documents. It runs all necessary commands as many times as needed, including pdflatex, bibtex, biblatex, etc.. It is fairly smart and will run the command to make the index if you load the index, for example. It can run in daemon mode and monitor the included files (and graphics) so if one of those changes, the PDF is regenerated. I prefer daemon mode, so I bring up a terminal and run latexmk file.tex in the folder where I'm working on file.org. This also speeds things up, since exporting to latex is fast, but compiling is slow. I can export and still use emacs, rather than waiting for the compile to finish. But if you want to run latexmk from Org, that works too. The -pvc- turns off the preview continuous mode (daemon). (setq org-latex-pdf-process (list /usr/texbin/latexmk -f -gg -pvc- %f)) -k.

Interesting and very useful document. Thanks! Thanks for taking a look. H:3 is a good idea -- I've done that, and the result looks much better. The HTML code produced by the normal HTML export, which is what I assume Worg uses, has the captions as special label classes (org-src-name) so CSS could easily be defined if not there already. Let's assume I'm an HTML idiot (which is true...). Is it really true, according to [1], that the only way to add this CSS class definition is to put it in a separate file and link it? It seems to be the only *documented* method. I apologize if this is too basic a question... it's just, I've had a bunch of extra computer problems to solve lately and by now, I've pretty much hit the limit of web searching and teaching myself technologies that are new to me. It would be very helpful to me if someone could provide a for-dummies example of the least intrusive way to add one CSS class style. (Otherwise, sorry to say -- this is a relatively low priority task for me, so I will just submit the document as is and leave it for someone else to beautify.)

Re: [O] exporting α/β to latex/pdf
Suvayu said: The easiest solution is to use a modern TeX engine like XeTeX or LuaTeX along with a font with the required glyphs. I personally use XeTeX with Linux libertine fonts. You can find my setup here: https://github.com/suvayu/.emacs.d/blob/master/org-mode-config.el#L176 Hi Suvayu I am interested in switching over to xetex. I find however that things dont work very easily and googleing around I find that some fixes are needed. eg http://ledgersmb.org/faq/xelatex Do you also need to do these? Or is there something more generic/uptodate? Thanks Rusi
[O] bug#17416: insecure temp files in ob-screen.el
Package: emacs,org-mode Version: 24.3.90 Severity: important Tags: security org-babel-screen-session-write-temp-file and org-babel-screen-test seem to use predictable temp-file names, which is a security issue. Using `make-temp-file', or if the file names really need to be predictable, something equivalent to `doc-view-make-safe-dir' (there should really be a general utility function for this IMO) to first create a /tmp subdirectory would avoid this.
