I agree that is even better; I guess I was aiming at minimal changes,

Hm, but the version in my patch does seem to work correctly, i.e. it is
exported as (snipped)
You need to exit by pressing @kbd{C-c '} again@footnote{@cindex escape
character
@cindex comma
Upon exit, lines starting with @samp{*}, @samp{,*}, @samp{#+} and @samp{,#+}
get
... which seems to produce a valid info file (looks the same as before
and the index entries work). Is it just a corner case, not a feature?
(I'm merely being curious at this point, I agree your version is better.)
Thank you.

Yes, thank you, patch attached (on top of current maint branch).
I don't know how robust the footnote indexing is, e.g. putting #+cindex
above instead of below [fn] lead to errors during 'make info'; but the
version attached does work (for the texinfo export at least).

Thanks.
I think it would be much more helpful if, instead of a footnote to one
related special case (`org-edit-special'), this information was indexed
("escape character" and "comma" come to mind) and also mentioned in or
linked to from section 16.3 (Escape Character).

[O] Org syntax inside verbatim/literal blocks
I notice that even inside example blocks, some strings are still parsed as Org syntax, e.g. the asterisk becomes a bogus heading: #+begin_example * _ \| @ \ |_/ /\ /\ #+end_example When I enclose the text in a region and use `org-insert-structure-template' to surround it with begin and end lines, a comma is prepended to the asterisk automatically (doc string of `org-escape-code-in-region' uses the word "append", which is usually used in the sense of "add to the end", though). But all I could find in the manual regarding "verbatim", "escaping" etc. are sections 12.2 and 16.3, neither of which mentions comma. I'd prefer if there were some kind of a _real_ verbatim block without need for escaping anything, but failing that, could this matter be clarified in the documentation? Thanks, Štěpán

[O] [babel-bug] Text properties silently stripped from code block evaluation results
`org-babel-insert-result' unconditionally strips any text properties from the evaluation result. One problem is that this isn't documented. Another problem is that this behaviour might not be desirable (I can't imagine why one _would_ want to have the properties stripped, on the contrary -- I need them preserved in at least one of my use cases). Please document the behaviour and either abstain from the strip-tease altogether or provide a way to switch it off. -- Štěpán
Re: [O] Elisp programming style
On Thu, 27 Oct 2011 20:03:22 +0200 Thorsten wrote: Hi List, doing some Elisp programming (in an orgmode context) recently, the following question with regards to the 'accepted programming style' for Elisp concerned me: How independent and self-sustained should helper functions be? I found some redundancy in elisp code, e.g. several (main and helper) functions that do exactly the same thing to extract the same specific args out of an argument list. My first reaction was, to factor out this extraction into the main function, and then call the helper functions from inside a (let ...) environment where the extracted args are stored in a local variable. But then I recognised, that the helper functions cannot be called independently anymore, but only make sense when called from this one main function with its local bindings. Is there a kind of convention in a case like this? Like: Make every function, even a helper function, independent, and don't care about redundancy? Just being curious Too bad you didn't give any concrete examples. In general, if the helper function is only used in a single place and isn't likely to be more generally useful, there might be no reason for it to be a standalone function at all (other than modular programming, which is always a good idea IMO). OTOH, if the helper function _is_ standalone and used in multiple places, then there is no redundancy, so I'm really not sure what you mean. If I understand you correctly, you find multiple pairs of main and helper functions, where the helper does very similar things. In that case the right thing would seem to be to abstract all the helpers into a single helper and use that in all the main functions. [To clarify, this all is just an opinion of an interested Emacs and Org user who often pulls his hair when trying to make use of/fix bugs in existing code and bumping into lacks in modular design. The maintainers will perhaps provide more authoritative guidelines.] -- Štěpán

At runtime the code of the expanded macro runs in the scope of the function where the macro was expanded into. A macro that uses a variable inside the expanded code that is not under its control (e.g. part of the argument list or gensym'd) is prone to introduce a bug caused by expanding the macro in an environment where this variable is not bound or used with a different semantics. In this particular case this should not be a problem indeed because we use a global dynamically scoped customization variable.

There are a few problems: the evaluation of the sexp happens in the capture buffer where buffer-file-name returns nil. Even if you could get the file name, vc-working-revision would return nil on a file that is not VC-registered and the template would barf. Those are easy problems to solve but there is another one that seems insurmountable (with current code): my original thought was to use the %a escape to pass the link to a lisp function, extract the file name from it[fn:1] and run vc-working-revision on it (with appropriate safeguards to catch non-VC files), something like this: * %T %? at %a by Rainer M Krug, email: rai...@krugs.de%(rk- custom-function-to-get-vc-revision \%a\) However, this fails because at the time that %(sexp) constructs are expanded, simple %a etc. constructs have not been expanded yet, so what the function above gets is a literal %a: the subtitution sequence is ;; %[] Insert contents of a file. ... ;; %() embedded elisp ... ;; Simple %-escapes (see lisp/org-capture.el, lines 1181-1229 or so). Moreover, this sequence was different and was changed deliberately (see the thread http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/27649), so if it is changed back, Sebastion Rose will not be happy :-) So it seems there is no way to pass values from the capture context to a lisp function in the capture template, but maybe I'm missing something. Thanks, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] Is there an easier way to get the filename of the file I was visiting when I initiated the capture? If not, should there be? Perhaps a %f escape? Hi Nick, you can use (buffer-file-name (org-capture-get :original-buffer)) and we could certainly introduce a special escape for it if helpful. If it is easier, we can also put the filename itself into the property list, and any other information we like. This should happen in the function org-capture, close to the location where the buffer is stored, so near this line: (org-capture-put :original-buffer orig-buf :annotation annotation :initial initial) org-capture uses this property list precisely so that it is simple to add any information required. Note that, after the template has been filled in, it is better to access information in the property list with (org-capture-get PROPERTY 'local) to avoid conflicts with other ongoing capture processes. Hope this helps. Why aren't the %() expressions simply evaluated in the original buffer (if available)? That would solve these issues in a general way. It seems to me that there is no advantage to evaluating the expressions in the temporary capture buffer, but I'm not familiar with the code so I might be missing something.

Is it likely that one would be interested in some information only available in the template buffer? To me it seems that the much more likely case is the one of Rainer -- i.e. the need to access variable bindings from the original buffer (buffer name, mode, other local variables etc.).

[Orgmode] Re: [ANN] Org-babel integrated into Org-mode
Eric Schulte schulte.e...@gmail.com writes: Hi Rainer, First I'll give some expanded instructions in the hopes of helping out anyone else affected by my lack of good instructions in the announcement email. Then I'll provide a re-write of your config below as an example. Babel took the integration into Org-mode as an opportunity to do some much needed house cleaning. Most importantly we have cleared out unnecessary configuration variables -- which is great unless you already have these variables set. We have eliminated the two main internal lists of languages, namely - org-babel-interpreters and - org-babel-tangle-langs so any config lines which mention those variables, can/should be stripped out in their entirety. This includes any calls to the `org-babl-add-interpreter' function, whose sole purpose was to add languages to the org-babel-interpreters variable. alright, so with those calls stripped out, we may still in some cases want to associate a file name extension with certain languages, for example we want all of our emacs-lisp files to end in a .el, we can do this will the `org-babel-tangle-lang-exts' variable. In general you shouldn't need to touch this as it already has defaults for most common languages, and if a language is not present in org-babel-tangle-langs, then babel will just use the language name, so for example a file of c code will have a .c extension by default, sh code will have a .sh extension ect... You also mentioned shebang lines. This configuration now lives in header arguments. So the shebang for a single file can be set at the code block level, e.g. #+begin_src clojure :shebang #!/usr/bin/env clj (println with a shebang line, I can be run as a script!) #+end_src note that whenever a file is tangled which includes a shebang line, org-babel will make the file executable, so there is good reason to only add shebangs at the source-code level. However if you're sure that you want all of your code in some language (say shell scripts) to tangle out with shebang lines, then you can customize the default header arguments for that language, e.g. ;; ensure this variable is defined defined (unless (boundp 'org-babel-default-header-args:sh) (setq org-babel-default-header-args:sh '())) ;; add a default shebang header argument (add-to-list 'org-babel-default-header-args:sh '(:shebang . #!/bin/bash)) The final change, is that to conform to Emacs guidelines, the prefix org-babel-* in all require lines, has been changed to ob-*, also, since Babel now loads by default with Org-mode you can remove any (require 'org-babel) or (require 'org-babel-init) that may by lying around your configuration. Whew! that was alot of writing for a /simplification/ of configuration. Hopefully the example of your configuration below will be a more succinct demonstration of the needed transformations.

Štěpán Hi Štěpán, The guidelines I mentioned (I believe) specify that all file names for emacs-lisp files which are part of Emacs must be unique in the first 6 or so characters. This is why all (require 'ob-*) lines (which must correspond to file names) now use ob-* instead of org-babel-*. Since I (like you) prefer the org-babel-* prefixes, those have been retained for all function and variable names. I see. Hm... could you provide some source for that? The only restriction on file names I can recall is this section from Appendix D of the Emacs Lisp Reference Manual: * Please keep the names of your Emacs Lisp source files to 13 characters or less. This way, if the files are compiled, the compiled files' names will be 14 characters or less, which is short enough to fit on all kinds of Unix systems. Is that perhaps what you meant? In any case, I see that the recommendation I quote above would make the file renaming necessary, too. (Also, I believe you actually did mention renaming *functions*, which created my confusion in the first place -- cf. the commit message of e0e4d76094f26 for example.) Hope this explains it, I'm certainly open to other naming suggestions. It would make a lot of sense to at least still begin the file names with `org' IMHO, if at all possible.

This is how I use Emacs and it feels just like a Vim that would have the full implementation of the org-mode and more.

[Orgmode] `org-refile' doc string
In the documentation of `org-refile' we read: If there is an active region, all entries in that region will be moved. However, the region must fulfil the requirement that the first heading is the first one sets the top-level of the moved text - at most siblings below it are allowed. I completely fail at parsing the second sentence. Could please someone who knows what it's trying to say fix it?

I completely fail at parsing the second sentence. Could please someone who knows what it's trying to say fix it? What's the problem? It's crystal clear! :-) But seriously, I think what's it's trying to say is that you can't just select an arbitrary region of the org file and refile it: it has to satisfy some constraints. For example, if you start at a level 2 headline, the region cannot then include a level 1 headline further down; it can only include level 2 and lower headlines. The error message from the function when you try something illegal is much clearer than the long explanation above: The region is not a (sequence of) subtree(s) Maybe the doc string should say: ... However, the region must satisfy some constraints: it has to be a subtree (or a sequence of subtrees). Would that be clear enough? Clear enough for me to understand at least, thanks! An alternative and more verbose wording could be something like: However, the region must fulfil the requirement that all the included headings are on the same level as the first one or below (i.e. a subtree or sequence of subtrees).

[Orgmode] `org-remember-templates' docstring
Hello,
in the documentation string of `org-remember-templates' we read:
[...]
%^t like %t, but prompt for date. Similarly %^T, %^u, %^U.
You may define a prompt like %^{Please specify birthday
%n user name (taken from `user-full-name')
[...]
The line with the supposed birthday example is obviously truncated (at
least it doesn't make much sense to me like this).
I'm sorry I didn't send a patch, but I'm not sure what exactly the
contents were supposed to be -- actually I'm rather curious about that,
so I hope someone can fix it.
Thanks,
