the other useful help command is where-is (C-h w) to find out if and
where a command is bound:

 No match - create this as a new heading? (y or n)

Did you add the elisp from the article into your .emacs?

Although the article described using tag as the link type I displayed
org-search since that's what the OP wanted. To get the desired effect
add this to .emacs:

(org-add-link-type
 org-search 'endless/follow-tag-link)

(defun endless/follow-tag-link (tag)
  Display a list of TODO headlines with tag TAG.
With prefix argument, also display headlines without a TODO keyword.
  (org-tags-view (null current-prefix-arg) tag))


I for one will be using this trick a lot!

you can put a format in the tblfm line, e.g.:

However, this cuts any numbers at the dot, that is a 10.5 would be

If you can live with a 10.0  use %.1f instead of %.0f after the

* Overview

Many applications using the XYZCo API will follow a sequence of operations like this:

** User logs in, establishing identity and access privileges

The login page is invoked via an http request, such as:

#+BEGIN_SRC js
GET http://local.xyzco.com:3000/sample/login
#+END_SRC

In the Sample App, this results in a page showing four buttons:

[[./pd-logo-jelly-small.gif]]

** Login with XYZ

If the user selects Login with XYZ, the Sample App invokes this URL:

#+BEGIN_SRC
GET http://local.xyzco.com:3000/sample/auth/xyz
#+END_SRC

The response, 302, results in a redirect to a new page prompting for username and password is presented[1]:

#+BEGIN_SRC js
GET http://sandbox.api.xyzco.com:8080/openid-connect/v2/authorize?response_type=coderedirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocal.xyzco.com%3A3000%2Fsample%2Fauth%2Fxyz%2Fcallbackscope=openidclient_id=152ced50-1369-4b19-8b26-8f3d5d9bfd6a.xyzco.com
#+END_SRC

[[./pd-logo-jelly-small.gif]]

Entering a username and password here results in this request:

#+BEGIN_SRC js
POST http://sandbox.api.xyzco.com:8080/openid-connect/j_spring_security_check?response_type=coderedirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocal.xyzco.com%3A3000%2Fsample%2Fauth%2Fxyz%2Fcallbackscope=openidclient_id=152ced50-1369-4b19-8b26-8f3d5d9bfd6a.xyzco.com
#+END_SRC

[[./pd-logo-jelly-small.gif]]

** The application provides security information (e.g., OAuth2 token) to enable access to information

#+BEGIN_SRC js
GET http://sandbox.api.xyzco.com:8080/openid-connect/v2/authorize?response_type=coderedirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Flocal.xyzco.com%3A3000%2Fsample%2Fauth%2Fxyz%2Fcallbackscope=openidclient_id=152ced50-1369-4b19-8b26-8f3d5d9bfd6a.xyzco.com
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC js
GET http://local.xyzco.com:3000/sample/auth/xyz/callback?code=eyJhbGciOiLlif_vla6jwjA ...
#+END_SRC

From this point, the application can present other options to the user.

Re: [O] helm-bibtex questions

2015-06-24 Thread John Kitchin
yes, there is a way ;)

First. Make sure you have a backup of the references. I like to keep
mine in a local git repo so you can undo any mistakes that get made.

I suggest you run these first:
%% (bibtex-validate-globally)   ; checks for duplicate keys
%% (bibtex-validate)

I also recommend you run bibtex-sort (it is easier to spot duplicates in
a sorted list).

and (org-ref-build-full-bibliography) - makes a pdf of all references.

to make sure everything is compliant and functional.

Then, put this next line at the top of your bibtex file. The t argument to
org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry will preserve your existing keys.

% (bibtex-map-entries (lambda (key start end) (org-ref-clean-bibtex-entry t)))

Put your cursor at the end of that line, and type C-x C-e to run the function, 
and
wait patiently. It took a few minutes on my 1300 entries, and I had to
restart it once on some entry.

when it is done, run (org-ref-build-full-bibliography) again to make
sure it works and review the ~200 page pdf ;). fix errors and repeat until it 
builds ;)

Note if you want to change title cases in all entries you can use

% (bibtex-map-entries 'jmax-title-case-article)
% (bibtex-map-entries 'jmax-sentence-case-article)

I hope that helps!

[O] frame options in minted environments

2015-06-24 Thread Julien Cubizolles

Consider the following org-file:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+STARTUP: BEAMER
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{minted}
* First frame:B_fullframe:
:PROPERTIES:
:BEAMER_env: fullframe
:END:

 #+begin_src latex :exports code
   \begin{document}
   \begin{frame}
 Text
   \end{frame}
   \end{document}
 #+end_src

--8---cut here---end---8---

The \end{frame} command in the minted environment causes the export to
beamer to fail. The solution is to pass the fragile=singleslide to the
frame options, eg with BEAMER_OPT: (see [1]). Is there an option in
org-mode to automatically add this option to all verbatim environments ?
In that case, it already sets the fragile option, maybe changing this
default to fragile=singleslide would be a reasonnable choice (I'm not
sure what it entails though).

Julien.

If you don’t want to type these search expressions, you could

that would be prefect for me and a solution to my issue. would you
  mind
giving an example of such a code chunk. unfortunately i dont know
  elisp
   though
as john recommended i will do my best this summer when the
 semester
  ends
   to
try and pick it up :)
  
   Sure, here you go:
  
   #+BEGIN_SRC elisp

   (defun helm-bibtex-my-publications ()
 Search BibTeX entries authored by Xebar Saram.
 (interactive)
 (helm :sources '(helm-source-bibtex)
   :full-frame t
   :input xebar saram
   :candidate-number-limit 500))
  
   ;; Bind this search function to Ctrl-x p:
   (global-set-key (kbd C-x p) 'helm-bibtex-my-publications)
   #+END_SRC

   The tag system also comes in handy when generating publication lists
  for
   CVs and web pages because BibTeX does not distinguish between
