mark them with tags, and do org-tags-view.  Or, you can use regex or other
criteria if you like.

If you want to refile them to a org file, mark entries you want to refile
with
org-agenda-bulk-mark and do org-agenda-bulk-action and 'r' to select
a file.

Re: [O] Viewing pdf images

[Kaushal Modi]

In case you are interested, I have now updated the solution on
emacs.stackexchange to not use #+HEADER for this purpose:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/a/401/115

Earlier discussion on that:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2017-01/msg00260.html

The solution still does the exact same thing as before.

[O] Numbering specific headings only

[Mehul Sanghvi]

I am creating a legal document (a rental agreement) using org-mode and
{{{macros}}}.
I have some of the kinks in the document ironed out so, except for one.

sample document---
#+OPTIONS: num:nil toc:nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{fullpage}

* RESIDENTIAL LEASE AGREEMENT

   This residential leased property lease agreement

** LANDLORD AND TENANT COVENANT AND AGREE:

*** DEFINITIONS
1. blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah ablaakjkfjadsf
 kjfkjasdfkhajkfdjakf'asdfhsfh  shdfjhsaf khasdfhaieurh kakshfkasfhouw
kdhfkahsdfjkiu  khdsjfhjf kjkqwn ajhjhb
2. foo bar foo bar foo bar jkhdfjahf mhaksdfjkaf kjaksfdjkwhefrnm
adfhff kaskdfha kajfhjahroryetha jkasdkfhajfhwohrmahjah kahsdfjhwurey
hajsdfhiwyure hkhsadfyoiytg jhajdfh herhjh kh dahf hasjdfhiwer khkshdfkq
 jkjaiyashd

*** FOOBAR
some more legal gibberish goes here

---end of sample document-


When I export the document to PDF, all the headings get numbered.  I only
want to
have the 3rd level heading numbered (DEFINITIONS, FOOBAR, etc.).  I have
got about 50 3rd level headings so far.  There may be more, might get
less.  I don't want to manually number the headings.

How do I go about doing that ?If I use the option 'H:3' it will do all
headings 3 and above, which is not what I want.

Any thoughts/pointers/suggestions much appreciated.


cheers,

  mehul

Would it be possible to make Org ELPA available via https?

Hi Bruce,

I modified your code as follow to be able to insert a datetree entry
correctly being anywhere in an existing datetree. I also added the
possibility of having a prefix argument to prompt for the date. It works
for me, but I don't know if this is the most elegant way to obtain what
I want. Comments are welcome.


;; look for datetree root
(defun dnn-org-datetree-root ()
  (let ((re
"^\\([12][0-9]\\{3\\}\\)\\(-\\([01][0-9]\\)\\(-\\([0123][0-9]\\)\\)?\\)?
\\w+$"))
(while (string-match re (org-get-heading))
  (org-up-heading-safe))
(org-up-heading-safe)))

;; add a datetree entry
(defun dnn-org-datetree-find-create (arg)
  (interactive "P")
  (let ((d (calendar-gregorian-from-absolute
(if arg (time-to-days (org-read-date nil t)) (org-today)
(dnn-org-datetree-root)
(org-datetree-find-date-create d 'subtree-at-point)))


Cheers,
Daniele

I would like t he functionality provided specifying 'subtree-at-point,
but it has been introduced after the 3.0.5 release currently available
on melpa :(

Ah, yes I forgot that this is a fairly new feature. Sorry for the
confusion. In the latest Org, the optional keep-restriction parameter can be

- t - make the datetree at the end of the current /view/ of the buffer,
- nil - make the datetree at the end of the file, even if it was narrowed
  to a subtree before, or
- 'subtree-at-point - put the datetree as a subheading at the end of the
  current heading. This one is new in Org 9.0.5.

The first two options have been around for a long time, so if you get
rid of 'subtree-at-point it should be fine. It will default to nil.

Hi Bruce,

thanks for the hint, but I don't understand what `subtree-at-point` is
in your code, it does not seem to be defined in my emacs and
`org-datetree-find-date-create` has a third parameter that is
interpreted as a boolean. I'm confused.

Cheers,
Daniele

ah, suddenly all makes sense ;). I changed the template a couple of
years ago. It could well be that I inserted both time stamps vie C-c.

Yes, that's way faster than navigation the calendar two times, esp. if
the appointment is far in the future.

Thank you

Re: [O] Creating consecutive time stamps

[Carsten Dominik]

Hi MIchael,

the automatic reset of the starting date for a second time stamp on works
if the command `org-time-stamp' is invoked twice in direct succession.  So
if you press `C-c  .'  to insert a time stamp, and then you press it
immediately again, the magic will take its course.  This is probably the
situation that you remember.

However, if you use %T in a template, then `last-command' is `org-capture',
and the time stamp command does not know that you are making a range.  I
could, by looking back and finding <...>-- , but that is not implemented.
You might be better off Using an empty template and then inserting both
time stamps with `C-c .' - which will make it easy to also directly choose
the starting date.

[O] Creating consecutive time stamps

[Michael Welle]

Hello,

the subject is a bit fuzzy, so let me depict an example use case:
creating an appointment for a multi-day conference. I use a capture
template with the placeholder %T for that (I use the same template for
single day appts, which occur more often.). Then I adjust the inserted
time stamp, add --, press C-. and add the second time stamp.

So far, good. The itching point is that the calendar view for the second
time stamp starts today, again, not at the date of the first time stamp.
I can dimly remember -or I think I do ;)- that that was different in the
past, maybe with a different template. Any ideas for a 'grey ointment'
that stops the itching?

hmw
