Question about citation formatting
Dear org users,
This is my second paper I am formatting with the new citation framework,
this time using csl for the first time, since basic does not fit the
bill anymore.
This paper is discussing and comparing translations to the same text. So
when I mention publications in the text, I want to have the keyword to
be the translator, rather than the author.
Here is the entry bibliography:
-test.bib--
@book{dogenMoonDewdrop1985,
title = {Moon in a Dewdrop},
author = {Dōgen},
year = {1985},
publisher = {{San Francisco : North Point Press}},
isbn = {978-0-86547-186-3},
language = {eng},
translator = {Tanahashi, Kazuaki}
}
The org file looks like this:
test.org--
#+TITLE: Translation test
#+OPTIONS: num:nil toc:nil tags:nil todo:nil ':t ^:{}
# #+cite_export: basic author-year author
#+cite_export: csl /home/chris/src/org-mode/etc/csl/chicago-author-date.csl
#+bibliography: test.bib
In [cite: @dogenMoonDewdrop1985 p37] there is a different translation:
* References
#+print_bibliography:
---
and the resulting export, in this case to a buffer, looks like this:
━━━
TRANSLATION TEST
━━━
In (Dōgen 1985, 37) there is a different translation:
References
══
Dōgen, 1200-1253. 1985. /Moon in a Dewdrop/. Translated by Kazuaki
Tanahashi. San Francisco : North Point Press.
--
What I would like to see is instead:
"In (Tanahashi 1985, 37) there is a different translation:"
in the running text.
Has anybody an idea of how to achieve this?
Any help appreciated,
Christian

[O] [org-ref] how to tweak display of links and entries
Hi Org, especially Org-ref users,
I have seen a number of org-ref related questions here recently, so I guess
it is OK to ask here.
I am trying to move to a more sophisticated bibliography format involving
some new field types recently added to biblatex. An author field for example
can look like
author = {family=Fang, given=Ailong, cjk=方愛龍},
where cjk is defined using biblatex's tools for this as a name addon.
Obviously, neither parsebib, helm-bibtex or org-ref understand this format
(yet). However, I do not understand where I have to intervene to display
this in a reasonable way, that is family name, given name and cjk name. Is
there a custom I have to redefine, or a hook I should add somewhere?
Another unrelated question is how to stop org-ref from displaying both the
key and the description of the link. I seem to remember having seen some
discussion here about this, but can't find it now.
Any help appreciated,
Christian

Using this recipe, I get also a file org-autoloads.el produced by package.el

Hello org users, I am trying to export an org file to the "content" part of a HTML file. Using header lines and inline html blocks, I basically succeeded in constructing it the way I need it. However, there is still one stumbling block: It seems that it is hardcoded to use the title of the org file as the first H1 element.

[O] seeking advice on use of drawers vs blocks
Dear Orgmoders, Today I would like to poll the collective wisdom of the Orgmode user community about a design question I have. Since discovering org-mode more than 9.5 years ago (yeah! ), it has transformed my life almost as much, maybe even more than Emacs itself. Among other things, for work I have developed a package called Mandoku, which uses the org-mode format to deal with (classical) Chinese text. For those interested, a description of this format, which is 99% org-mode is here[1]. Now, as described at the very end of that page, I allow users to maintain annotations to things on the previous line of text in drawers. I then have scripts to collect these annotations and do various interesting things with them. Now, since I started doing this some 6+ years ago, the org-mode syntax has seen some changes and especially blocks seem much more advanced now. I would like to have more expressive power concerning the content of the annotations, so I am considering switching to a block format for these annotations (or more likely for the time being, supporting both). This would give me more metadata and control over the content, because I can have header lines etc. However, my audience is somewhat non-technical and they concentrate on reading the texts, so the intrusion has to be minimal. Currently I handle that with the drawers being mostly folded and only expanded on demand with a key on the line as usual, that is also the reason to use a short word for the drawer, which is the only thing seen in the folded state. So this does not work so nicely with blocks, especially if the header line expands. Ideally I would even like to avoid seeing the header line in folded state and just have an icon in the margin to indicate that there is an annotation. Does anybody know how this can be done? Has anybody done something similar? Apart from that, I wonder if there are other things to consider in the question: Should I move to block syntax rather than staying with drawers? Any and all comments appreciated, Christian Wittern [1] http://www.mandoku.org/mandoku-format-en.html -- Christian Wittern, Kyoto

[O] help with porting babel example on worg to latest version

Re: [O] Let's discuss citation and Org syntax
Sorry about this late contribution to this thread. I just stumbled on the
RTF/ODF scan tool for Zotero at[1], which seems to do something similar to
the ideas ventilated in this thread. Since Zotero compatibility is high on
the list of desirables mentioned here, I thought it might be an interisting
point of reference.
This page also mentions that Zotero can be told to provide a scannable
Cite as output format, which works with things like
|{See | Smith, (2012) |p. 45 | for an example |zu:2433:WQVBH98K}
which the format engine than turns into
|
(See Smith, 2012, p. 45 for an example)
I wonder if it would be worthwhile if the citation handling in Org would
become compatible with this approach?

As the org-zotero-export.el shows, getting Zotero references from Org

(1) How do you get the Zotero cite keys right now, and what method do
you think would ultimately be the best to try for?
The best to try for: Something with as brilliant an interface as RefTex...
Since this thread is on citation syntax, I think I'll gather my thoughts
about how to get there (zotero-plain? Zotero Server API? sqlite? word
processor plugin emulation?), and about your other questions, and start
another Zotero-related thread in a day or two.
Right now: I'm still depending on Quick Copy with a custom Zotero
translator. That is, I tab from Emacs to Firefox, look up a reference in
the Zotero pane, and Quick Copy (C-S-c) to a formatted link to the
clipboard. Tab back to Emacs, yank the link, manually tweak the
description as necessary. RefTex it ain't, and it's cumbersome for
multiple citations, but it works.

Thanks for a great post and for taken initiative for making org-mode even better for my purposes. I started using org for writing papers a few years ago and I am not looking back. The weak point however is bibliographies, as you say. FWIW, I will describe my use case. For drafting and when I can get away with it, I am going from org to PDF through XeLaTex, with either bibtex or more recently biber+biblatex. However, when I submit papers, in most cases they have to be in a wordprocessor format, so I am going through the ODT export here. In my current workflow this means that the bibliographie falls apart and in the end (deadlines!!) I usually cut and paste what I can get into either HTML or PDF. This is not ideal and if this can improve it would mean a lot to me. One problem I have had with bibtex and which I am now kind of dealing with (albeit still in a hackish way) in biber+biblatex is that I need specific formatting of the entries depending on the language I am publishing in, which is mostly either English or Japanese. So for Japanese sources cited in English papers, I have to give the author and title optionally in Japanese characters, but also in romanized form and possibly in translation, whereas English sources in Japanese might require a Japanese form of the names and again a translation into Japanese. I ended up adding extra fields to my bibtex file, since no bibliographic format I know of (except TEI) would support this and still allow me to integrate it into my workflow, but the big problem lies of course in integrating this better in my workflow. So whatever org ends up with having in terms of bibliography, I would like to work with you and however jumps in to make sure that it also fits this need (which is actually not limited to an exotic field like mine, but is quite common for academics working in East Asia).

Re: [O] org mode in press
I think this is an excellent article, introducing an aspect of org-mode, which I think fills a gap that no other software I know of comes even close to approach. I already started mentioning it in conversations and am sure it will be very useful to many members of the academic community. Just to make sure I could answer any follow up questions, I downloaded the replication bundle and started installing the dependencies. I encountered a few problems and hope this is the right place to discuss them. BTW, I am working with this on a Mac OS X 10.6 machine. Most of the dependencies I already had or installed them from macports. One problem I encountered was with installing the RSQLite package. Executing the installation command from the README file did not work because of permission issues, the command needs to run with superuser rights. Is it possible to give these rights to commands run from babel? Since I did not find a way to do that, I installed from the R commandline, where I found that the name of the package is RSQLite, not 'RSQlite' as given in the readme file. The one dependency I could not solve was the 'dot' executable. I assume this is an interpreter for the dot language, for which it seems the program on the Mac is named graphviz. However, I am not sure how to make that work with org/babel. Should I simply symlink to graphviz? Or is there a babel variable to be set? This is a point that probably needs some explanation, at least for Mac users (I realize that the articel might not have been intended as such a general introduction with details for all common OSses, but it would be nice if this can be gradually supplemented).

[O] Tweaking the export (was: Re: [ANN] ASCII back-end for new export engine)
Hi Nicolas, hello everybody, I am extremely excited about this new export engine; it seems to fill a need I have felt for quite a while now. What I need it for is the following: For the last couple of years, I have used org-mode more and more for working with and translating texts from classical Chinese. Over time, some special conventions have crept in, like the fact that I like (for the draft translation) to work in a way that has a short chunk of Chinese text on the left and, separated by a tab character, the translation of that piece following on the same line (there are other special conventions like specialized drawers etc., but I don't need to discuss these here now.) While this is setup is extremely pleasant to work with, at some point I need to separate these two parts in separate texts; the stuff to the left of the tab has to go into one file, the stuff to the right to some other file, while at the same time merging the chunks of texts into paragraphs. Now for quite some while if have thought about how to automate that, but until now, I have usually done it by hand with a couple of regex search-and-replace. Now, with the new export engine, it looks like all I would need to do would be to tweak the way paragraphs are handled, while leaving the rest intact, some kind of org to org transform that simply tweaks one single aspect of the text. However, I am a bit baffled on where to start with this. I would be glad if you or somebody else could give me some pointers at how to tackle this problem. (And please be kind, since my elisp fu is pretty insignificant:-( ) All the best, Christian Wittern, Kyoto

I have a strong feeling that you are using two column editing. Otherwise, it would be extremely difficult to keep one's sanity. Actually I started out using 2C editing for this, but it came constantly in my way, so currently what I am doing is: (1) use a tab character to separate the two columns and (2) set the tab-width to 30 (in most cases), so that most of the columns are nicely separated. This works very well for editing in Emacs. However, at the moment I do not have an easy way to export this to ODT as it s. Now I have given further thought to this, maybe the following will work: (1) consecutive lines with 1 or more tab characters and the *same* number of such tabs will be considered as a table and the exporter will work with this as if it were a org-table. (Note that I usually only have two columns and as you said, with more columns one is probably better off using proper tables) (2) This option is switched on or off through a variable or a OPTION line in the header of the file. (3) as I mentioned earlier, it would be good to be also able to globally set the proportions (maybe this can already be done with column properties?)

I strongly support this, since I have a lot of files with side-by-side content. The first question is of course how does the org source look like. In my case, I have simply separated the columns by a tab character and set the tab-width to a sensible value for nice on-screen display. These are 'text' and 'translation of that text' side-by-side, sometimes interrupted by section headers, notes and so on. Therefore I end up with multiple 'tables', which will need to have the same width throughout the document. Therefore for this use-case, I would like to see a global setting for the relative width of these columns. All the best, Christian Christian Wittern, Kyoto

Jambunathan K. I don't really have so strict requirements. I think It would be nice to be able to treat example blocks like figures, in that they can get automatic numbering (with #+LABEL?) and a caption. BTW, is it currently possible to set the size for figures (I mean, included graphic)? I know it is possible in Latex, but the Latex directive seems to be ignored by ODT?

[O] execute function when TAB expands a headline
Hi there, I am (also!) using org-mode for displaying dictionary data, with the headword part of the headline. When I press on TAB, the entry expands and I see the explanation and some sample sentences. Now, to make it easier (for my eyes) to parse the examples, I would like to highlight the headword, as it appears in the examples. I believe hi-lock mode etc. could do the trick, but I am stuck at how to hook into the TAB execution, so that I can call my code. Any hints very much appreciated! All the best, Chris

[Orgmode] { in Latex fragments
Hi there,
In my org-mode document, I have a special sequence to switch to a Japanese
font defined as \J. When using this, I have to do something like {\J
(Japanese characters here}. However, when I run the org-mode export, the
braces { and } are escaped as \{ and \} and thus loosing their function.
Is there some switch to prevent this from happening? I would much rather
write \{ myself in the few cases where I in fact need it.
Any help appreciated,

I think because the {}'s define a scope in latex and so the \J only
affects text surrounded by the {}.
Exactly.
For Christian, what about \J{ text } instead as org is careful to
let this type of construct go through unchanged, if I understand
correctly. This does depend on how you have defined J but possibly a
slight redefinition would work (\newcommand{\J}[1]{ #1}).
I had tried this first, but somehow the font was not switched back. But now,
looking at your example, I think it might have been because of a missing space.
I will give it a try.

[Orgmode] trying to get xetex working with org-mode
Hi there,
This has come up before, but a search in the archive did not produce enough
information for me to solve the problem. I want to export to PDF via XeTex
on Mac OS X (Emacs 23.2) and org-mode 7.01g. After studying the manual and
looking at this message in the archive:
quote
(from: http://osdir.com/ml/emacs-orgmode-gnu/2010-04/msg00856.html)
[...]
And you can customize org-export-latex-classes to make the class headers
look like this:
\TeXXeTstate=1
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Numbers=OldStyle,Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex- text}
\setmainfont{Sabon LT Std}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Sabon LT Std}
\setsansfont[Scale=MatchUppercase]{Myriad Pro}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
[PACKAGES]
[EXTRA]
And you can change things around any way you like.
HTH
- Carsten
/quote
I started experimenting with customizing org-export-latex-classes. Here is
what I put into the section for article:
\TeXXeTstate=1
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Numbers=OldStyle,Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex-text}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
\newfontfamily{\J}[Scale=0.85]{Osaka}
(I removed the following lines:
[DEFAULT-PACKAGES]
[PACKAGES]
[EXTRA])
Now, what I get with C-c C-e l at the beginning of my tex file is:
example
\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\TeXXeTstate=1
\usepackage{fontspec,xunicode}
\defaultfontfeatures{Numbers=OldStyle,Scale=MatchLowercase,Mapping=tex- text}
\setromanfont[Mapping=tex-text]{Hoefler Text}
\newfontfamily{\J}[Scale=0.85]{Osaka}
\usepackage{xltxtra}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\usepackage{fixltx2e}
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{float}
\usepackage{wrapfig}
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{t1enc}
\usepackage{textcomp}
\usepackage{marvosym}
\usepackage{wasysym}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{amssymb}
\usepackage{hyperref}
\tolerance=1000
/example
There are some more lines I did not ask for and do not want, like for
example the \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} which does not work with XeTeX.
Now the number of possible relevant variables etc is just too complex for me
to understand. I would appreciate if some kind soul would explain to me how
to trim this down to use only the packages I need.

Switch language on heading lines in Latex export (was Re: [Orgmode] Re: org-beamer: How to get items appear sequentially rather than all at once)
Dear Darlan,
Thanks for your detailed explanation. I now got it working and am
really happy with it.
Now there is one remaining problem with my presentation (which is
different, which is why I changed the header line): I do have some
words on some heading line that are in a different language and need
to be set in a different font. To achieve that, I have customized the
beamer section in org-export-latex-classes to set up a new font etc,
this can now be switched on with {\J XX } to put XX into the desired
Japanese Font. However, when I do this, I get the {} brackets
escaped so they appear in the output (I do get the right font). So I
wonder how I can pass this literal LaTeX through in the export.
I looked at the manual, where it talks about literal LaTeX, but the
use cases there seem to work only on lines by themselves, not in the
middle of a header line. But since this is org-mode, I am sure there
must be a (obvious) solution which I am just failing to see
As always, any help appreciated
Christian
