Re: [O] Portable formatting of export?
There are several problems with this approach: 1. In order to force default behaviour, I'd have to set ALL customization variables of org explicitly (can be avoided by using an emacs -q session for compiling). 2. Even setting just a single setting can be very verbose (e.g. when defining a new document class). 3. The variables are not flagged as safe for use as file-local variables, requiring extra user-interaction whenever the file is visited. Sure, those are all mere convenience issues, but they add up to enough potential inconvenience for cooperative authoring (i.e. the file being edited in different emacs configurations by different people) to make direct latex editing rather attractive. Is that scenario simply outside the scope of org-mode? - Klaus-Dieter Bauer 2013/10/21 Eric Schulte schulte.e...@gmail.com This can be done with file local variables.

[O] Extra list bullets / portable configuration?
Hello! With the input-method TeX it is easy to insert more graphical Unicode characters such as • (\bullet). Some questions about that: 1. Is it possible to make org-mode use • as a bullet character for lists? 2. Is it possible to make another persons org-mode installation aware of this when viewing my document? Question 1. is mostly a curiousity thing, but question 2. would be good to know for pretty much any customization. Including viewing my own files a year later when my configuration has largely changed. kind regards, Klaus
[O] Setting entry title by a standard org function?
Hello! Is there a standard way in the org-mode modules to change the text of a heading conserving tags, todo type, priority etc? I am writing a extension module for better multi-file handling (wiki-like) and in that context I want to set the first heading of the wiki-node-files based on the directory name. Currently my best-guess solution is to rebuild the heading line from scratch -- while I found functions for setting tags, priority, todo-keyword I didn't find one for setting the title. Downside: Doing so is probably incompatible with whatever customization-capabilities there may be in the syntax, so I want to avoid that. kind regards, Klaus
Re: [O] Help, I need to paste raw image from clipboard into emacs/orgmode
(defun my-org-insert-clipboard () (interactive) (let* ((image-file clipboard.png) (exit-status (call-process convert nil nil nil clipboard: image-file))) (org-insert-link nil (concat file: image-file) ) (org-display-inline-images))) That works for me (Emacs 24.3, Windows 7) though for practical use some more edge case handling (don't insert on failure, different name if file exists) will be wanted. kind regards, Klaus 2013/6/7 Vitalie Spinu spinu...@gmail.com Thanks for the tip.

[O] Customizing export globally
Hello! Is it possible, short of hacking the exporters, to get indentation of non-list paragraphs preserved? E.g. I want some nice-looking formatting inside emacs: == And thus Einstein wrote: E = mc^2 == The same visual effect in export could be achieved by == And thus Einstein wrote: #+begin_quote E = mc^2 #+end_quote == but at the cost of visual clutter in the org-mode file which by my emacs-centric export-as-an-afterthought usage would be worse than unwanted export formatting (I have partially solved this by making the #+ lines ALMOST white but still...). I fear the answer will be no, as in the first example both paragraphs are exported entirely equally as pTEXT/p. My closest alternative is falling back to $$equations$$, but again -- visual clutter (though here a hack to fontify only the delimiters in a bright shade of grey should not be so difficult). kind regards, Klaus

The motivation behind id links is their guaranteed uniqueness. For linking to files, doesn't simply using filenames do that? [[file:path/to/file.org][My notes]] Why reinvent the wheel? ;) Hope this helps, For me the purpose of using IDs is, amongst others, being able to reorganize my files without breaking links. Hence direct file links are unique but not robust. I even add UUIDs to every plot I generate by now for similiar reasons ;) That said, with my wiki-style approach having one top-level heading per file turned out reasonable anyway. kind regards, Klaus

I am searching for a while now for a solution to get image scaling inside the org-mode buffer working /on Windows/. After installing GnuWin32 at least displaying the various image types works, but scaling does not. I assume the problem simply is missing ImageMagick-support in the Windows binaries. Any idea, how to get it? Or how to check whether emacs was compiled with ImageMagick support and just can't find DLLs on my system? Note: I am also trying a while now to get emacs compiling from source, but there are so many problems popping up, that I barely see a chance to get this working.

[O] Showing evaluation buffer while executing source blocks?
Hello! I wondered if there is a way to show the evaluation buffer (if any) during evaluation of commands -- in particular when the command takes a long time (e.g. when trying to document a building process involving `make' invocations) waiting for the command to finish is counter productive. Even worse if the command used turns out to cause an infinite loop. If not possible yet: At least in the case of session based evaluation, this would simply mean a construct of the form : (save-excursion : start the session if not yet started : (display-buffer session buffer) : send commands to session) The idea came up because I'm currently trying to document the building process of mathematical libraries (matplotlib, numpy, scipy) under Cygwin -- building those is pretty tricky there. And waiting for a `make' invocation to finish before seeing any result... well ^^' On a side note, as mentioned in the [O] [bug] cannot execute shell code blocks thread, for shell commands sadly this simple solution won't work, as session based evaluation never returns from the session. simple because: I couldn't figure out where this would have to be done ^^' king regards, Yu
