Re: [O] Seeing Actual Emphasis in Orgmode Buffer
Thanks for you suggestions Marco, but I still can't figure out how to get the "styles"/"emphasis" displayed in a '.org' file buffer. As mentioned before, the variable "org-fontify-emphasized-text" is set to `t' (non-nil). Documentation says this about that variable: Non-nil means fontify *bold*, /italic/ and _underlined_ text. Anyone have any other ideas? Thanks, -Kenneth
Re: [O] Seeing Actual Emphasis in Orgmode Buffer

I don't *think* I did anything with the "default font" either ... So you actually see the "bold" rendering in the "buffer" corresponding to the ".org" file ? If so, there is "hope" for me ;-) Thanks for your comments! -Kenneth

[O] Display Agenda in Reverse Order
Looked around some, but could find nothing that helped ... So I ask the list! When I display my agenda, the oldest (scheduled) items are earlier in the buffer, and the newest (today) are at the very end. Is there a simple way to reverse that schedule order? Ideally, my timed appointments (grid) would be displayed first, and then followed by today's scheduled items, yesterday's left over items, and so on until the oldest is shown at the very end. ASIDE As a major procrastinator, I have lines like this: personal: Sched.389x: TODO Work on foobar Yes originally scheduled over a year ago! :( I'd rather those very old items were at the *bottom* of the agenda ... easier to continue to ignore them that way ... ;-) /ASIDE Thanks for any ideas/suggestions! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker (emeritus) k...@cs.appstate.edu Computer Science Deptwww.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA
Re: [O] Entering Repeating Scheduled Tasks in the Minibuffer
ji Have you tried 2014-12-15 +1m for a monthly repeater? ji 2014-12-15 +1w for a weekly repeater and ji 2014-12-15 +1d for a daily repeater. Yes, I'm already doing that and all of them work. But, that's not my issue ... I can add the +1m (or whatever) in a newly created capture buffer *after* I type the date/time, task description, and ENTER. But how to do this sooner? I'd like to enter something like Jan 7 +1y in the mini-buffer while creating the new item. Maybe there is a way to do this, but I don't know how! ;-) Sorry if this is still unclear ... hard to describe ... Thanks for your comments, -Kenneth

[O] Indentation Problem Using LaTeX Export
Good day!
In LaTeX terms, I believe an \end{itemize} is closing a list later
that I want. Its kind of hard to explain, but I'll try via an example ...
I basically have a couple of nested outlines and body text. Something
like this in Org format:
* Alpha
porttitor, elit at imperdiet consequat, nunc nisl dapibus dui, eu
fermentum ipsum magna et mi. Sed egestas erat et dolor lobortis, sit
amet cursus
** Alpha1
** Alpha2
lorem tincidunt. Vivamus eget bibendum est. Integer justo mauris,
sodales eget commodo quis, faucibus non est. Nulla facilisi
this produces something like:
1 Alpha
porttitor, elit at imperdiet consequat, nunc nisl dapibus dui, eu
fermentum ipsum magna et mi. Sed egestas erat et dolor lobortis, sit
amet cursus
1.1 Alpha1
1.2 Alpha2
== lorem tincidunt. Vivamus eget bibendum est. Integer justo mauris,
== sodales eget commodo quis, faucibus non est. Nulla facilisi
whereas I want it to be formated like this:
1 Alpha
porttitor, elit at imperdiet consequat, nunc nisl dapibus dui, eu
fermentum ipsum magna et mi. Sed egestas erat et dolor lobortis, sit
amet cursus
1.1 Alpha1
1.2 Alpha2
== lorem tincidunt. Vivamus eget bibendum est. Integer justo mauris,
== sodales eget commodo quis, faucibus non est. Nulla facilisi
IOW, I want the lorem tincidunt body to be associated with the Alpha
heading, not the Alpha2 one.
I can use a work around via editing the LaTeX file. But, is there a
way to do this entirely within Org? Maybe a bug?
Thanks,

Re: [O] Paper Size for Exported LaTeX

Re: [O] Paper Size for Exported LaTeX
ndokos This may be a TeX installation default.
Apparently, 'letter' is the default.
ndokos If it is indeed the case that it is using A4 (check it with
ndokos pdfinfo on linux, ...
Good suggestion. I used 'pdfinfo' on the generated PDF file and saw
(among other output) this:
Page size: 612 x 792 pts (letter)
So, I guess I need to explicitly change the L/R and top/bottom margins.
Here's what I do using emacs/latex without Org:
\setlength{\textheight}{9.25in}
\setlength{\textwidth}{6.75in}
\setlength{\oddsidemargin}{0in}
\setlength{\evensidemargin}{0in}
\setlength{\topmargin}{-0.6in}
Can I just put the above somewhere near the beginning of my .org file?
Or, is there a better way? ;-)
Sorry if dumb questions, but am trying to figure out the org/latex
approach ...

[O] Tracking Current Org Version
Good day!
I am using 'git' to (I hope!) keep up to date on the latest Org distribution.
For me, there is a little confusion on just which version I'm using ...
I changed to the org-mode git managed directory, and entered:
$ make update
{ Do I need to do more? I followed the above with
make and make install ... necessary? }
After performing the above yesterday and then checking with M-x org-version
shows:
Org-mode version 8.3beta (release_8.3beta-175-g59cd25
Is that the latest? No date is included ...
In addition, I receive announcements from elpa.gnu.org that shows things like:
Latest: org-20140804.tar, 2014-Aug-04, 5.21MB
How does *that* differ/compare to what 'git' is downloading?
What is the best way to do this? ;-)

Re: [O] Using Multiple TODO Keywords
