I'm referring to this line in the patch: indent (if upper-case-p "#+BEGIN_SRC\n" "#+begin_src ") ^ The newline that needs to be removed is indicated by "^". You can see a correct similar version of this line on line 1932 of ob-core.el.

Yes, I'm hoping vdirsyncer is popular enough that someone will step forward as maintainer. There's still an official package in Arch Linux, but I'm not sure how long that will last if the package ultimately remains unmaintained. My current syncing solution relies on the following tools: - khard (https://github.com/scheibler/khard) - vdirsyncer - card/caldav server (Radicale) - DAVx5 (android app) I use khardel (an emacs front-end to khard) to create and edit contacts within emacs: https://gitlab.petton.fr/DamienCassou/khardel khardel also has a helper function for selecting and inserting email addresses: khardel-insert-email For address completion within emacs, I normally just use notmuch's built-in auto-completion (which based on indexed addresses of emails either sent or received). But it's nice to be able to fall back on khardel and my own contacts collection. I code small integrations in emacs around khard's command-line interface. For instance, I pipe khard contacts into an interactive emacs function that allows me to select a contact/phone number and then send an sms via kdeconnect-cli. Best, Matt

My uneasiness has more to do with the specificity of the dependence on monolith and the way that is hard-coded into the patch. When it comes to patches, I think priority should go to those that are configurable, accessible, and useful for everyone as opposed to those that have hard-coded work-flows or highly-specific user configurations. > I agree that monolith is completely uncommon tool and I would not expect > the majority of users to have it installed, but the same functionality > utilising built-in url.el (as a default) should be acceptable. The question is: which functionality? A simple downloading tool or a full archival tool? Achieving similar functionality to org-board or monolith would a big task, since they aim to download an archival version of a webpage (including all resources). In addition, with archiving you also quickly run into the complexity of versioning based on time archived. There's also the challenge of mapping the downloaded files to metadata (specifically the original url). Org-board currently handles both of these very well. I suppose there would be a few options depending on what the aims are: 1. At the simple end, include little more than than a quick and dirty way of downloading a single resource (html, pdf, jpeg) using url.el or wget (or optionally, monolith) and putting that in the attachment folder. Those who want full archiving of all resources could use other tools like org-board or org-web-tools. 2. At the (much) more complex end, it would be to code out a robust archiving solution on top of url.el or wget. 3. Another, possibly simpler option... Add a command to the dispatcher that allows the user to invoke a custom function that is called with the attachment directory as the default-directory. This would enable more end-user flexibility, such as the ability to use wkhtmtoimage/wkhtmltopdf, monolith, phantom.js, archive.is, etc. Best, Matt

This looks helpful, but I think this should be an add-on rather than integrated into the org-attach.

A heads up... I believe this changes the scope of the :var variables, since they previously were local to the main() function and now they are declared globally. After this change, some of my existing python source blocks (i.e., ones in which I attempt to assign a new value to a variable defined by :var) now generate the following error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 223, in File "", line 214, in main UnboundLocalError: local variable 'members' referenced before assignment I hesitate to call this a bug, since it would be fine to think of everything within the source block as local and the header :var declarations as global. But if this is the case, then I think it should be documented somewhere, especially since this change may break people's existing source blocks. And I suppose it would be worthwhile to ask: Is this change consistent with other org-babel modules? Is there a canonical way that org-babel handles scope? Best, Matt

I think this is because at present org-archive-all-matches is a non-interactive helper function that is called only when someone is using org-archive-subtree or org-toggle-archive-tag with a prefix argument. So without some refactoring, using org-archive-default-command would cause unexpected behavior, since it is invoked only in contexts in which people are explicitly expecting *either* org-archive-subtree *or* org-toggle-archive-tag.

You can use wget to download them all the mbox files at once here: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/emacs-orgmode/ For instance, the following command... wget -r -nH --cut-dirs=2 --no-parent -A "2019-*" --reject="index.html*" https://lists.gnu.org/archive/mbox/emacs-orgmode/ ..will download all mbox archives from 2019 into the directory emacs-orgmode.

I'm not sure I understand the question. Are you asking: Why bother generating IDs at the top level of a file (which was the change Gustav introduced)? Or why bother turning off that behavior? I can't address the former question but I will address the latter. The main reason is that I find these IDs redundant and visually distracting. I can see how file IDs would be useful if one is constantly renaming files (or perhaps writing custom functions that convert files to entries and vice versa). But in other ways they are more fragile than paths, since a :PROPERTIES: drawer at the top of a file looks like clutter and is *very* tempting to delete: beginning of file :PROPERTIES: :ID: d4ef67e6-ffcd-4df3-b821-b92c0138eb9c :END: #+FILETAGS: work inbox #+CATEGORY: work file continues... That said, I'm happy to hack together a personal solution by advising org-id-store-link if we decide not to allow users to customize this behavior. Best, Matt

Thanks. What I meant was fixing a very specific circumstance "when the cursor is at the beginning of an empty headline." This is the scenario affected by the original bug. The earlier patches (450452de4b and 44ec473c1) introduced a more general logic of moving the cursor forward at any point before the beginning of an empty headline (including when positioned on an asterisk).

What I was thinking of in terms of configuration is being able to preserve path-based links (instead of IDs) if creating a link above the first headline.

I believe that markup syntax, as a rule, should be visible. Most markdown editors do not hide markup by default. I realize that there are some exceptions in Org (e.g., links). But editing around the invisible boundaries of links can be in Org can be fussy (sometimes I have to do M-x visible-mode when editing near the edges of links).

I think it makes it too easy accidentally to turn important TODO headlines into commented lines (which will be buried in another entry). If I wanted to change a first level headline to a comment, it would only take two keystrokes (C-d #). Forcing users to type this explicitly seems preferable to creating a risk that users will accidentally bury/lose first-level headlines as comments in another entry. Matt

Agreed. C-c C-c in python-mode is bound to python-shell-send-buffer, which evaluates the buffer in a running instance of python. I think has fewer conflicts with existing bindings. Matt

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Fix bug that erases org buffer when calling agenda via org-agenda-open-link.

Here is an improved version.] * lisp/org-agenda.el (org-prepare-agenda): If the agenda is called from within the agenda via an elisp link, such as [[elisp:(org-agenda-list)]], org-prepare-agenda erases the buffer of the file containing the link, since that buffer is current during org-prepare agenda (due to a with-current-buffer in org-agenda-open-link). An additional test now ensures that the agenda buffer is in fact current when the buffer is erased and local variables for the agenda are set. --- lisp/org-agenda.el |6 +- 1 files changed, 5 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-) diff --git a/lisp/org-agenda.el b/lisp/org-agenda.el index 9f94fa6..7458076 100644 --- a/lisp/org-agenda.el +++ b/lisp/org-agenda.el @@ -2829,7 +2829,11 @@ the global options and expect it to be applied to the entire view.)

Re: [Orgmode] Re: [ANN] Org-babel integrated into Org-mode
Hi Carsten, Thanks so much both for thinking this through. And thanks again, Eric, for your work in integrating org-babel into org-mode---including taking into account a humble user's concerns! :) Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com writes: Here is what I propose (several items are similar to what Eric proposes) 1. A new variable org-turn-on-babel. We can discuss the default. If it is nil, org-babel should not be loaded. A default of t would be fine with me if we implement other measures listed below. I think the default should be t, but I also like giving users the option of not loading org-babel. 2. As Eric proposes, a variable similar to org-confirm-shell-link- function This should by default query for confirmation on any org-babel code execution, and can be configured to shut up by people who know what they are doing. 3. Not loading emacs lisp evaluation by default. 4. A new key in the babel keymap for org-babel-execute-code-block, for example `C-c C-v e'. This should be documented as the default key for this operation. 5. Removing org-babel-execute-code-block from `C-c C-c'. Inclusion should be optional. 6. A section in the manual on code execution and associated security risks in Org mode. This is not only about babel, but also about org-eval, org-eval-light, shell links and elisp links. I have meant to write this section for a long time and would be willing to draft it. We could then refer to this section from a couple of places in the docs, without cluttering the docs with disclaimers. With safeguards with 2, 4, 5, and 6, would it be safe to skip #3 and load emacs-lisp evaluation by default? The primary risk right now is that C-c C-c is so easy to press. But if we change the keybinding and add a default warning, I believe the emacs-lisp evaluation would not pose undue dangers. After all, emacs already makes it easy to evaluate emacs-lisp code. IMO, other languages are a bit more dangerous, since they are out of context in an org-mode document---i.e., one is not necessarily as cautious about the pitfalls of executing shell commands, perl code, etc. as one is when using the command line or executing a script.

Here are some of my thoughts about its current state. As I mention below, I may be able to clean it up this Summer. I am afraid I got bogged down, for a number of reasons. I am stubborn, and don't want to admit defeat, but it would be even better if someone who really understands org-mode was able to carry it forward. And I have some ideas about improving it, but haven't had time or focus to get it done. I'll attach a current copy, but there are quite a few sections added, esp. at the end, that were gratuitously personal notes as I was learning certain features. If this were on some kind of git repo, I'd be interested in working off of it, and I'd learn to submit a patch, perhaps. One thing I thought about is the keystroke compatibility issue, that it would be really nice if it worked like info. As it is, it is an editable file, and I end up having to kill it to avoid overwriting it with some junk, when I use it. The folding status is not persistent, another nice thing to have (from info). The file opens up as a folded top-level outline. The various headlines I have set up to be links to the manual pages about the same topic. At I tried to have one or two main keybinding clues present in the folded view at least headline. So a clue to the keybindings, and a link to the manual. Even lower level headlines may have manual links. That particular feature I like *a lot*! I have gotten a bit lost with many of the new features, like babel, and haven't kept up on some of those. I was clueless about agenda, but have begun to use it quite a bit, so at some point I worked on that section, but it's a miasma, a tangled mass, at this point, and I should have to clean that up. This is an example of a section I started to work on when I was learning a certain feature or set of features. So I guess that main caveat at this point is that it's become a personal help file, and more and more personal as time goes on. Summer comes I would at some point clean it up. I assigned it to a key. For my key-binding setup, it worked ok to assign it to C-c 7. Maybe better to set it on a viewing mode, but I have been prone to hack as a go.

Do you get any better behaviour if you just put 9:00 or 09:00? Would be good to resolve this in case there is a bug lurking elsewhere... I believe I've pinned down the cause of the reported behavior. My default agenda buffer is a custom agenda block, which consists of an agenda view and a todo view. The inclusion of the todo view caused the variable org-prefix-has-time to be set to nil, which in turn prevented org-format-agenda-item from removing the time of day string from the headline (see lines 4857-64 of org-agenda.el). Thus, when I called i d from the block agenda, the time was not removed from the headline; when I called i d from the default agenda or the calendar, it was removed.

I modified the docstring of the new variable so that the first line is a stand-alone sentence, as required in Emacs. 3.

You can use org-search-view (C-c a s).
Just a remark:
If the file is not in org-agenda-files it is C-c a s
well I don't think that using *Agenda* is what Evita is looking for,
or at least I was not able to obtain a satisfactory view
of the authors with keyword2 occurrence in my test.org file.
I think that your first solution:
M-x org-occur
is the best *org-option*
I'm not sure I follow you here. The function org-search-view (C-c a s)
searches all org-agenda files for a regexp and/or word (or as Stephan
pointed out searches the current file with a restriction) and returns a
list of entry headings that contains that keyword. AFAICT, this is the
behavior the OP was looking for:
--8---cut here---start-8---
Search words: keyword2
Press `[', `]' to add/sub word, `{', `}' to add/sub regexp, `C-u r' to edit
test: jones2000
test: jones2007
--8---cut here---end---8---
One more consideration: If the OP wants genuine tag functionality,
perhaps it would be better to add the keywords as tags. E.g.,
--8---cut here---start-8---
** jones2000 :keyword1:keyword2:
blah blah
** jones2007 :keyword2:
blah blah
--8---cut here---end---8---

Matt Lundin m...@imapmail.org writes:
The word/regexp agenda search to work with more than one word or regexp
unless the first word or regexp is also preceded by a + or -.
Take the following example.
* Org-mode
Org mode is a major mode for Emacs written by Carsten Dominik.
Let's say I search for Emacs with C-a s [RET] Emacs. So far, so good:
this item appears in the results. But let's say I want to narrow down
the search. When I press [ to add a search term, I see the following
prompt in the minibuffer:
[+-]Word/{Regexp} ...: Emacs +
If I complete the prompt as given (Emacs +Carsten), there are no
results.
The search only succeeds if I add a + in front of Emacs as well, i.e.,
+Emacs +Carsten.
The same behavior occurs with exclusion (-) and with the regexp
search (i.e., brackets).
Two questions:
1) Do boolean word/regexp searches require a + or - symbol before
the first word/regexp? If so, this is a bit confusing, since tag and
property searches do not require an initial symbol. (E.g.,
emacs+orgmode works as a tag search.)
2) If boolean word/regexp do require an initial + or -, could the
prompt after pressing [ or ] or { or } in the search results
buffer be amended to add a plus in front of the first search term?
Here is the relevant portion of the manual:
,[10.5 Commands in the agenda buffer]
| `[ ] { }'
|
| in search view
| add new search words (`[' and `]') or new regular expressions
| (`{' and `}') to the query string. The opening bracket/brace
| will add a positive search term prefixed by `+', indicating
| that this search term must occur/match in the entry. The
| closing bracket/brace will add a negative search term which
| must not occur/match in the entry for it to be selected.
`
O.K., I just found the variable org-agenda-search-view-search-words-only:
,
| Non-nil means, the search string is interpreted as individual words
| The search then looks for each word separately in each entry and
| selects entries that have matches for all words.
| When nil, matching as loose words will only take place if the first
| word is preceded by + or -. If that is not the case, the search
| string will just be matched as a substring in the entry, but with
| each space character allowing for any whitespace, including newlines.
`
Please disregard question one above, at least insofar as it applies to
word searches (I'm still trying to work out the regexps). But re:
question two, would it be worthwhile to add a + to the beginning of
the search org-agenda-manipulate-query is invoked in a search agenda
buffer?

Perhaps something like this: SCHEDULED: 2009-10-17 Sat !+2+2 --- where the first number is the repeating span and the second is the grace period. Of course, I have no idea whether this is possible.) I agree with you here, and think that a more comprehensive SCHEDULED syntax might be just the fix. I'll look into this. Perhaps using a syntax like !+2/2. Thanks. And, of course, if a new timestamp syntax proves too complicated, I'm more than happy to use the current implementation. :) 3. The faces for the graph are difficult to read against dark backgrounds. (See attached image.) I'll fix this too. 4. I currently use the tag :HABIT: to track habits. This allows for easy filtering in the agenda. I'm wondering whether there might be an option to designate habits with a user-defined tag rather than the STYLE property. The advantage would be much faster agenda searches for habits. You can search for STYLE=habit. I myself use contextual tags on the habits, because some of them aren't appropriate in other location, and I wouldn't want to see :HABIT: in the right-hand column for every one. Also, note that you can press K now to filter habits in and out of the agenda view. They are also by default restricted to only appearing in todays' agenda view. I see. That works very nicely. Sorry I missed it the first time through the documentation. This eliminates one of the main reason I had for switching to a tag-based implementation. Thanks again!

[Orgmode] Re: New screencast about org-protocol.el
Keith Lancaster klancaster1...@mac.com writes: The screencast is great, but I can't seem to get things working. On OS X, I consistently get a message from Firefox that no application is associated with org-protocol. This happens on both FF 3 and 3.5, and regardless of how I specify emacsclient. Any thoughts on how to debug this? Yes, this is a known issue on Mac OS X. I believe that the problem lies not with Firefox per se, but with the way in which Mac OS handles internet protocols. I think someone will have to code something in cocoa or applescript that passes the protocol to emacsclient. See this post by Sebastian for more details: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/14903 That said, I don't really know too much about the internals of MacOS X, so I may be wrong about this. BTW, the only browser I was able to get working with org-protocol on the Mac was conkeror, a browser that uses emacs-style keybindings. http://www.conkeror.org For emacs users, conkeror is particularly convenient browser, not least because you can call commands with M-x or get information about commands using apropos (C-h a). If anyone is interested in trying it out, I put up instructions on how to set up conkeror on the org-protocol page. You can even bind org-remember to C-c r in conkeror! http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-protocol.php#sec-8.1 Best, Matt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Since moving my org files to be under version control (and boy does that make a difference to my peace of mind!), Yes. I've come to conclude that version control is a *must* for org files, given the possibility of accidentally deleting whole trees. I don't know how to deal with attachments. Attachments, for me, are usually ephemeral and usually types of documents I don't particularly like to deal with (typically MS Word or PPT). I believe org-attach achieves this end admirably. When you use org-attach to attach a document to a headline, it will deposit the file (or, if you prefer, a link to the file) in a location defined by the variable org-attach-directory. The file and the headline are linked via a global id property. You can open the file from the heading to which it is attached by calling org-attach again. http://orgmode.org/manual/Attachments.html Obviously, if these files are ephemeral, you can leave the org-attach-directory outside of your version control system.

The thread that you mentioned however, seems to be concerned with a different issue. My issue shows up not just in a line right after a commented line, but could happen anywhere later in the text. That is, after the comment-region command is used, every time a new line is automatically created, it starts with #. http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/13312 I can confirm that Samuel's advice above offers an interim fix for the problem I was experiencing (i.e., comment lines added on filled lines when there was no empty line between the initial commented line and the subsequent uncommented line --- now that's a mouthful!).

Kapitel 2 is also included. This does not happen if the subtree has
additonal subtrees. If I mark the Kapitel 1 subtree the output is as
expected.
When the bug happens, `org-export-latex-default-class' does not work.
Instead the class 'article' is used.
It does not happen if the region is exported to ASCII or HTML.
My setup is:
emacs 22.2.1, WinXP, org-mode 6.28trans from yesterday.
Do you have transient-mark-mode enabled? I tested this with Emacs 22 and
when transient-mark-mode was enabled, it exported correctly (i.e., just
the 1st tree). When transient-mark-mode was turned off, I got the
results you describe above.
Just a thought...

I've seen this approach mentioned several times, but I think it makes things more complicated then they should be. By keeping the app and the libs in separate places, the two can be updated independently. Emacs provides ample ways of supporting this style -- actually, I guess it was meant to work that way, until the bundles came along... Exactly. The beauty of Emacs is that there are multiple options for everything. Overwriting org when I updated Carbon Emacs wasn't really an issue for me because 1) Carbon Emacs is very rarely updated 2) I pull the latest changes from the git repo and run make make install every day. The reason I just threw org-mode in the Emacs.app directory is that I also had EmacsCVS.app and wanted to keep separate byte-compiled for Emacs 22 and Emacs 23. If you're looking for the simplest way to install a byte-compiled org-mode, I believe you could just clone the git repository to ~/org-mode, run make in the directory, and then add ~/org-mode/lisp to your load path. Of course, it's very convenient when you download Carbon Emacs (or others) that everything is in place, but since when do Linuxers care about convenience? :-) Well, I suppose in this case convenience is in the eye of the beholder.

I'll have to rely on my memory here, since I went in the opposite direction (from MacOS to GNU/Linux). ;) (add-to-list 'load-path ~/elisp/org-mode/lisp/) (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.org\\' . org-mode)) When I try to export an org-file to LaTeX I get the following error: org-export-latex-first-lines: Symbol's function definition is void: org-cleaned-string-for-export I think I saw this error already some time ago and the reason was, that an old org-version conflicts with the one I use. Under Debian I renamed the Org-elisp-files in the Emacs-Program-Directory and the problem was solved. But under MacOS I cannot find these files - as I wrote, I am completely new to MacOS. I scanned the Folders /Applications/Emacs.app/* but couldn't find the org elisp files.

Hi everyone, I've made some progress in understanding emacs this past year, but customizing the mode-line eludes me.

(Most of my buffers have a ton of minor modes, which are all listed in the mode line and push everything else out of sight). Interestingly, if I have other modes contributing to the mode line, the org-mode-line-string is always placed at the end of the global-mode-string: , | global-mode-string is a variable defined in `C source code'. | Its value is | ((t jabber-activity-mode-string) | appt-mode-string display-time-string org-mode-line-string) ` I would be most grateful for any tips on how I might move the org-clock information farther to the left in the mode line.

Upon further reflection, I decided I would prefer the following behavior: - When I clock into an item, a header line appears with the org-mode-line-string -- i.e., the clock information. - When I clock out of an item, the header line disappears (i.e., header-line-format is set to nil).
