[O] advice on compiling org 7.9 for OSX Lion.
I have looked but cannot find anything especially enlightening. I haven't yet installed Xcode on some of my Lion machines, so I haven't got 'make' everywhere. I've been toying with trying to do the installation on my Mac server, which has Xcode, then copying the compiled stuff into the identical directory structure on my non-Xcode machines. Any thoughts on whether that would work? And in any case, if someone could point me at a good page explaining the Lion/Org installation, I'd greatly appreciate it. /fas -- \V/_ Filippo A.

Re: [O] advice on compiling org 7.9 for OSX Lion.
Yes, John is right. Xcode is one-stop shopping for gcc, fortran (!?!?!), objective-c, all the command-line tools, etc so on, without having to use macports or fink or whatever. And it's a trivial installation.

The basic idea in all of these situations is to use org-map-entries from the mapping API: (info (org) Using the mapping API) to walk the entries, applying a function on each. The function to apply on each entry is frequently a specialization of one of the functions provided by the property API: (info (org) Using the property API) In this case, you need a function to get the priority of each entry: (def fas/task-priority () (org-entry-get (point) PRIORITY)) which you can then give to org-map-entries: (org-map-entries (function fas/task-priority) t 'tree) The assumption here is that we are at the head node and we have an arbitrary number of subnodes. The call above will accumulate the priorities of each subnode in a list (if a subnode does not have a priority assigned, the priority will be nil). For example, applying * section ** [#B] subsection *** [#C] subsubsection paragraph * [#B] subparagraph will return the list (nil B C nil B) It is then just a matter of finding the highest priority and applying it to the top node.

It might be OK to have something like QUESTION(?) or even WTH?(?) as TODO states and that's probably better than a single punctuation chars.

I wanted to use '?' as a general one in a generic org capture template. That way I don't have to worry about setting a proper keyword during capture and I can just get the task down and move on.

[O] feature request: changing the way numeric priorities are calculated
As I understand org - at least as of v7.4, the numeric values of priorities as calculated in org-get-priority, are variable and based on multiplying things by 1000. I can understand why this is done this way, but it is a little restrictive. I would like to suggest that the numeric values of priorities be fixed between 0 and some value that can be user-defined, and that org-get-priority be tweaked to return a value between 0 and the max value, based on the range of priorities (i.e. from org-lowest-priority to org-highest-priority). So, for instance if you set the max numeric priority to 10, it wouldn't matter if you had 3 priority levels or 100, they'd all range between 0 and 10. In my case, I'm asking for this because I'm writing a user-defined comparator function that combines a number of features into a single measure of 'importance' (toodledo does something similar), and having the ability to essentially 'weight' the priority with respect to other values would be very useful. I'd try to do the changes myself, but I'm just not up to the task these days. Thoughts? Cheers. Fil Salustri -- \V/_ Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

Re: [O] Formal description of Org files
Antlr is just another in a long line of lexical parsers. I still remember the original lex (for lexical analysis), which in combination with yacc (for parsing and grammar) could make pretty much any conventional programming language. Then GNU came up with Flex (fast lex) and Bison (instead of yacc...get it? :) Then IDEs really started to take off and much of the ugly parts of writing languages disappeared, which led to all kinds of new tools like antlr. But they all basically do the same thing: let one describe the syntax and grammar of (quasi) formal (programming) languages. I don't know if any of them produce diagrams, but I wouldn't be surprised if at least some did. Cheers.

I believe you can change the list of priorities with this setting (which you

You can change it globally through M-x customize-group RET org-priorities

Re: [O] question about agendas
Nick, Thanks for the quick reply. I'd actually started with a similar wrapper for org-priority, and the save-excursion was needed because the org-agenda-redo would punt me into the agenda from whatever other buffer I was in. I carried the save-excursion into the agenda version of the function because I thought it couldn't hurt. Apparently it does. Removing the save-excursion from the defun below fixes the cursor problem. ...could it be because the excursion is saved before the agenda buffer is rebuilt? Anyways, it's fixed, so I'm happy.

I don't understand the logic in this.
In terms of final layout, do you want to have subheading appear as a
box? Like in some (introductory) textbooks? If so, you could program a
certain ** to be export as a certain type of object. You might even be
able to use tags to determine how output should be formatted, like in
Org-latex-beamer mode. This might require some hacking.
I do however, strongly support the idea of terminating headings, but for
other reasons.
My problem is ending * COMMENT headings.
This sketch the issue (in terms of LaTeX export):
#+begin_src emacs-org
* COMMENT This is were I put all my export settings, various notes and such
it could be placed as the very last headline, but that is somewhat
annoying an illogical to me.
** Export
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: me
[A bunch of paper-specific #+latex_header:]
** An outline of the task at hand
[...]
And HERE I want to put text before the first subsection. That is beneath
Title but before first section.
#+end_src
In terms of LaTeX I need something like:
#+begin_src latex
\begin{document}
\maketitle
This is where I want some initial text
\section{first section}
#+end_src
Of course, I could start explicitly with a \section{intro} (i.e. *
Intro) right after \maketitle/\begin{document}, but for short papers I
find this is redundant.
Is my style the problem or should there be a way to terminate section, maybe
with an artificial new heading (similar to the :B_ignoreheading: tag)?

[O] advice re organizing todo agenda items
Hi, I'm hoping someone can offer some advice. In my agenda is a todo list. Let's say there's 10 things in the list. What I'd like to do is rotate the items, i.e. 1. I work on the first item for a while. 2. When I'm done for now, I'd like to push it down to the bottom of the list. 3. Work on the next item (which is now at the top). 4. Wash, rinse, repeat. If the items were all in 1 file, I could just refile an item to push it to the bottom of the file or section. The problem is that they're not in just 1 file. At the moment, I'm subverting effort to fill that role. By changing the effort, I can move things around in the list. But it's (a) a subversion of effort and (b) just generally kludgy.

Re: [O] Re: Continuation of main section text after subsections ?
I agree with Marcel on this. If org is supposed to help get /to/ the final version of a document, then it should support the (possibly inconsistent) structures that can appear in all the in-between steps after conceiving of the document and before the final version. The workaround I use is to use lists instead of headlines. The problem then becomes the extra work of turning lists into headines+text later. Cheers.

I had my hopes on a customization option. Is there a strong reason this could not work as an option in org-mode? marcel Marcel, I think this is not yet easily possible in org-mode due to the limitations of org's rather simple concept of markup. Because org tries to stay out of the way of the user's choice of indentation flow, for example, whitespace can't be used to indicate that your text has returned to the top level after entering a subheading. And unlike in, e.g., HTML or LaTeX, there's no way of closing the subheading environment explicitly. As Cian suggests, some alternatives you can use are to employ drawers or environments such as #+BEGIN_NOTE. I also use Org as a drafting tool, mostly for documents that will end up as papers or legal documents rendered with LaTeX. There are a few ambiguities in the markup that are hard to resolve without going the additional step of exporting to HTML or LaTeX and editing that output. You've just stumbled into one of them... I'd support some kind of fix, but it'd be moderately to very involved and far beyond my level of comfort with Elisp. I also agree that it'd be hard to specify. -- William Gardella J.D.

Yes, of course. But it's still something *I* have to do as a separate task. This breaks my cognitive workflow; it's a distraction. One of the reasons I use org is that it's so distraction-free compared to every other tool I've tried.

I think org-mode should aim to be flexible enough to accomodate all
writers, writing tasks, and writing styles. Maybe for this particular
issue it would be enough to give org-mode an explicit way to close a
heading--an Org-wide equivalent to \end{section} in LaTeX, say. Of
course it would have to be as pithy and unobtrusive as the rest of
org-mode syntax...I'm sure it's possible (because with Elisp practically
everything is possible), but out of my depth. :)

Juan Nick,
I like your ideas, but my case is a little different. I only want to
hide the BEGIN/END statements, not what comes between them.
That is, I'm using a trick Ido Magal suggested
(http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/39226).
It works fine, except I see all the distracting block directives.

If you are referring to directives such as export templates, etc.,
these can in general be placed anywhere in the document. For example,
inside a COMMENT'ed heading at the end of the document, with folded
view as default.
You can also have all that in another file and use #+setupfile or
#include for inclusion.
Other things such as #+category have their equivalent as properties,
which are normally folded.
Another similar solution (cribbed from this list, but I don't remember
who suggested it) is to define a drawer and put all that stuff in it -
isn't that what drawers are for? :-) Keep the drawer closed and the mess
is hidden - and it is not affected by general visibility cycling: you
have to open the drawer deliberately.
The top of one of my org files looks like this:
--8---cut here---start-8---
:SETUP:
#+STARTUP: showall lognotedone
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO(t) STARTED(s) WAITING(w) | DONE(d) DEFERRED CANCELLED(c)
#+TAGS: { FINANCES(f) HOME(h) PACC(p) SCHOOL(s) WORK(w) } CALL(c) ERRAND(e)
:END:
--8---cut here---end---8---
You need to set up the variable org-drawers - see section 2.8 of the Org
manual.

Re: [O] Org expert mode?
I wonder about the complexity associated with adding an expert mode. My area is design, and one of my pet peeves about all things designed is how they tend to increase in complexity for the sake of extending their scope, without much attention being paid to the brittleness that accumulates collaterally. Since complexity is a non-linear thing, adding even one time element can increase it, and brittleness, significantly. I think - and I would suggest - that it can all be done with documentation. That is, one can lay out doc so that the complex things just aren't staring one in the face. If the doc were properly designed, users just wouldn't know about the 'power' stuff and so wouldn't be prone to getting overwhelmed by it. And this keeps the code itself less complex. I even think this applies to the matter of more compact messaging. Just a thought. Cheers. Fil On 10 March 2011 05:05, Bastien b...@altern.org wrote: Hi all, Org tries to stay as simple/accessible as possible for newbie and as complete/flexible as possible for power users. The documentation and the UI are central for this: the documentation should promote core features, document complex ones, and give pointers on how to hack Org -- it does that already IMO; the UI should give access to core features and give hints on complex ones, so that the user can learn more. I've just added the ability to run a custom function for bulk agenda actions (thanks to Puneeth for the patch!) This is clearly for power users -- or those who are willing to take the time to find functions that we might document in Worg. So I naturally thought of something like an Org Expert mode: when turned off, the UI would *not* give access to complex features and perhaps display more helpful messages on simple ones; when turned on, Org would have a less verbose UI (think of the C-c C-e window, do we really want to *read* it all the times?) and give access to all the complex features. This is really just a call for ideas/comments -- I wonder if people already came accross such an idea and and what they think. I'm myself not convinced: it's a good thing that Org doesn't need an Expert mode so far, it means newbies are not confused by the UI, and experts are not frustrated by it either. But I expect neat features can emerge from the discussion. Thanks for your thoughts! -- Bastien -- Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

[O] a small contribution
Hi all,
I use geektool on my Mac to put useful things on my desktop. (Rainmeter is
the equivalent program for windoze.)
Anyways, I would like have some todo items show up in geektool, but emacs
eats cpu, aquamacs doesn't do --batch stuff well, and I hate wasting cycles.
So I wrote a small perl program that digests every file in my org directory
looking for todos. It runs blindingly fast compared to emacs, and it does
what I need it to.
I've included the script at the end of this msg, should anyone else find it
interesting.
One should consider changing the values of $orgdir and $re.
And (maybe) the location of perl.
It parses :CATEGORY: properties and prints that out (or the file name if
there's no category) for each task with a keyword matching one in $re.
It's not perfect, I know. But it does work for me.
Cheers.
Fil
#!/usr/bin/perl
$orgdir = '/Users/fil/Dropbox/org';
$re = 'ACTIVE|REVIEW';
@files = ();
$line = '';
$category = '';

[O] question about refiling
Hi, I'm running the Feb 23 nightly snapshot of org on the current Aquamacs on MacOS (also current). The question is this: it seems that even with org-refile-use-outline-path set to full-file-path I can't refile things to other files. If I try, I get the following in the minibuffer: Refile to: \Users\fil\Dropbox\org\Journal.org/ and can then get the headings etc by hitting Tab. But I can change neither the file (Journal.org) nor the path. Is that how it's supposed to work? I would have greatly preferred being able to refile to at least other files in the same directory, if not other files in other directories. Cheers. Fil -- Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

[Orgmode] a question about fontification and org-emphasis-alist
So, I really like the emphasis bit that org-emphasis-alist gets me. But I find that the key characters to do the emphasis, as in /italics/, remain visible. It's distracting to me. I mean, since it's rendered in italics, it's redundant to show those '/' characters. I also know that all kinds of things get hidden in org, like the square parens in links. So I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to make the emphasis characters invisible. EG: /word/ would be rendered as word in italics, without the slashes. Cheers. Fil -- Filippo A.

[Orgmode] question about opening a file in .emacs
Hi all, I'd like to have aquamacs open org immediately when I start it. To do this, I've put the following line at the end of my .emacs (which is actually somewhere else in Aquamacs, but it doesn't matter): (switch-to-buffer-in-tab (find-file ~/Dropbox/org/root.org)) Now, this works. But when Aquamacs starts, it runs through something like a half-dozen redraws, resizes, and re-coloration of the Aquamacs window. I'm okay with it, cuz it works, but it's rather distracting to see this flurry of stuff happening every time I start Aquamacs. It might be something wrong with the code I use, or it might be an Aquamacs issue, or it might be a general emacs issue. Anyone got any ideas? Cheers. Fil -- Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

Will try to reproduce this sometime today and forward info to list. Cheers. Fil On 16 January 2011 08:56, Eric S Fraga e.fr...@ucl.ac.uk wrote: Filippo A.

Or aren't there any? If not programming I use Org together with viper almost all the time when in Emacs and I know only of two small difficulties: 1) With the wrong configuration when using Mac OS X Cocoa Emacs or Aquamacs there can be slowness in vi/viper insert mode. In a Linux GNU Emacs 23.2.1 I can not observe such slowness. For a workaround and more see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/35916 2) Often in a Org table the vi/viper change commands like `ce' do not replace but insert. I use workarounds like `dei'. In other places than Org table this issue never happened to me. I can recommend viper very much with Org and also generally in Emacs to have the best of both worlds of vi/Vim and Emacs together in one place. Just for fun I imagine it being a vi with one mode additional as an extension to the native vi modes like command mode, insert mode, replace mode: the Emacs mode. viper shows the letter V, I, R or E for these four viper modes in the Emacs mode line.

I expected Aquamacs just to be too different to Cocoa Emacs, but now I am surprised: In a Mac OS X Aquamacs-Emacs-2.1 there is also exactly the same viper insert slowness when in org-mode, disappearing with fundamental-mode or with the ~/.viper from my last post. In a Mac OS X Carbon Emacs 22.3.1, the last Mac OS X Carbon I think, I can not observe such slowness. Possibly because it is not Mac OS X Cocoa and/or it is not Emacs 23.

[Orgmode] A couple of suggestions
Hi all, I'm just getting into orgmode, and I'm finding it quite a revelation. Compliments to all its developers. I have thought of a couple of ideas. I wanted to bounce them off the community before thinking about trying to implement them myself (I used to be pretty good with lisp, a thousand years ago). 1. A bit more structure to page layout. In particular I was thinking of this: a. one file per day b. date and journal name at top c. a right sidebar of sorts that contains tags, dates, etc for the item to its left. This amounts to basically a tabular page arrangement, and each item gets a row. 2. A vi-esque data entry mode No offence, but I've always found emacs-y key bindings to be incredibly unintuitive compared to, say, vi/vim. The idea would be to rebind all keys on top of something like, but not necessarily identical to, vi-mode. I find that there are two thinking styles when I'm using org-mode: organizing and gathering.
