Re: [Orgmode] Beamer support in Org-mode
An optional setting sounds great. I can't wait to see how it turns out. --Gray Carsten Dominik wrote: Hi Gray, thanks for chiming in, this was a very important piece of the puzzle.

[Orgmode] Re: defining LaTeX macros that work inline and at export

Right now, I've added the LaTeX macros to org-format-latex-header, and
repeated the macros in a #+LATEX_HEADER: comment. The two drawbacks of
this approach are that I'd prefer to have most of the macros be
file-specific and that I'd like to avoid duplicating these LaTeX commands.

Couldn't you use the {{{macro}}} expansion in the export header? I

Hi Russell,
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm going to need to work with the LaTeX files themselves after writing
and editing the drafts in org mode, so I want the macros to stick
around after exporting the org file to LaTeX. My understanding is
that the {{{macro}}} approach would expand the macros during that
export.
Best,
Gray

Re: [Orgmode] Re: can the symbol for leading stars be changed?
Hi Tassilo, Thanks for the suggestion -- your code worked great when I loaded it on its own, but seems to be in conflict with something else in my .emacs file, so I'll have to tinker with it a little bit. This seems like an okay temporary solution, but I may look into orgstruct proper when I have some free time. Best, --Gray 2009/3/16 Tassilo Horn tass...@member.fsf.org: Gray Calhoun gray.calh...@gmail.com writes: Hi Gray, Is there a way for users to easily replace the leading stars with another symbol? In particular, I want to replace the '*' with '#' so that I use org mode to write pseduocode for R in outline form -- R uses # to designate comments and this would ensure that the headers wouldn't be read as code. I guess you want to use `orgstruct-mode' in R files, right? I also had the idea to do that, but till now I failed. As a workaround I use `outline-minor-mode' and set the `outline-regexp' to comment-character of the languageone-or-many-stars. Here's the code from my .emacs. --8---cut here---start-8--- (defun th-outline-regexp () Calculate the outline regexp for the current mode. (let ((comment-starter (replace-regexp-in-string [[:space:]]+ comment-start))) (when (string= comment-start ;) (setq comment-starter ;;)) (concat ^ comment-starter \\*+))) (defun th-outline-minor-mode-init () (interactive) (setq outline-regexp (th-outline-regexp))) (add-hook 'outline-minor-mode-hook 'th-outline-minor-mode-init) --8---cut here---end---8--- I wonder if I cannot make `orgstruct-mode' work the same way. I've always thought that it uses `outline-regexp' for the cycling and stuff, but maybe I'm wrong. What's the correct regexp that's used for `org-cycle'? `org-complex-heading-regexp'?

[Orgmode] can the symbol for leading stars be changed?
Hi everyone, Is there a way for users to easily replace the leading stars with another symbol? In particular, I want to replace the '*' with '#' so that I use org mode to write pseduocode for R in outline form -- R uses # to designate comments and this would ensure that the headers wouldn't be read as code. I don't know emacs lisp (beyond cutting and pasting to a .emacs file), but would be happy to dive in.
