[Orgmode] shrinking contents on one slide in beamer export
Greetings,
I am trying to produce a Beamer slide presentation from org-mode. I have a
slide that has some output from R in a src_block. The problem is that the
material that I want to present (coefficients from a regression) is just a bit
too wide for the page. If I were writing this in native LaTeX, I could do
something like
\begin{frame}[shrink=5]\frametitle{some stuff}
contents here
\end{frame}
How do I pass the shrink argument to latex from org-mode?
Cheers,
Neil

Re: [Orgmode] Mobile.org UTF-8
Hi Henri-Paul I ran into a similar problem when I moved from using MobileMe to Dropbox. What I did that seemed to fix the problem for me was to delete the folder MobileOrg from my Dropbox folder. Then I reset the stuff in Mobileorg on my iPhone, re-sync'ed the iPhone to create a new MobileOrg folder in your Dropbox folder and then it worked. It seems to work fine now. -Neil On Thu, 2010-11-18 at 22:02 -0800, Henri-Paul Indiogine wrote: I am running the latest git org-mode on Emacs 24 in Ubuntu.

[Orgmode] Error with Mobileorg and Dropbox
Greetings I have recently tried switching my mobileorg stuff from my .mac (mobile me or whatever they are branding themselves as now) account to Dropbox. When I push from my desktop (Ubuntu 10.1) to my MobileOrg file in my Dropbox, I am sort of able to sync my iPhone. The agenda works fine but the other included agenda files throw an error saying Bad file encoding Unable to detect the encoding, please re-save this file using UTF-8 I am using MobileOrg 1.5.1, orgmode version 7.3, and Emacs 23.1.1 I tried to sync from my MacBook Pro running Aquamacs (with Emacs 23.2.50.1). When I sync from the MacBook Pro (still using Dropbox) even the agenda file is bad and can't be read by mobileorg. I've looked on the mobileorg website and I see that this was apparently a problem prior to orgmobile 1.3. Has anyone else had a similar experience? Any ideas on how to fix it?

[Orgmode] non-frame text in beamer export
Greetings
I have recently started using org-mode to generate Beamer presentations for
lecture notes. I always create lecture note printouts for my students using the
beamerarticle package. I like to put additional explanatory material into these
notes that don't show up on the slide show. The way I do this is to put the
extra material outside of a frame environment and then use the option
[ignorenonframetext] in the latex header, i.e.,
\documentclass[ignorenonframetext]{beamer}
Is there a way to add extra material in an org file that it won't get put into
a frame environment when I export the file?
Cheers,
Neil

Re: [Orgmode] Examples in numbered lists
you could revert to raw latex code in your document and use
\begin{enumerate}..\end{enumerate} with something like this:
* testing auto numbering
\begin{enumerate}
\item First do something
#+begin_example
here is an example how to do something
#+end_example
\item Then do something else
\end{enumerate}
It's not as elegant as the org-mode approach but it works.

press M-RET on the last line, it will be re-numbered as 1.
Is there any way to avoid this?

[Orgmode] merging column view headings across files
Greetings all, I have column view configured differently in several different org files. In some the columns include things like priority and tags, another file has columns like blocker and so on. When I do an agenda search for special todo keywords (in particular STALLED) the search returns those dreaded stalled projects, which of course include some things from each org file. If I switch to column view, it seems to use the column definitions in place for the first thing on the list. So, if a todo.org item is the first thing on the list the column headings are those defined in the todo.org file. However, there are things from project specific files (where i use the BLOCKER property to keep track of what's connected to what), and the column view heading for BLOCKER does not appear. Anyone have any bright ideas on how I can keep separate column view definitions in each org file but have them some how magically combined in column-view look at my agenda?

[Orgmode] lookup functions in spreadsheet/table
Greetings I am looking for a lookup function for tables in org-mode. In the past I have used a spreadsheet to keep track of student grades and then had a table that contained cut points and grades. Assigning grades was simple because the formula would simply look up the student's grade in the cut points table and assign the appropriate letter grade. In Yicksel, also known as Excel, the function would be =vlookup(target,lookup range,column to return). If I need to tweak my grade distribution to satisfy an anal retentive Registrar type, I can do so by altering the cut points. Now that I am using org-mode and emacs for everything else, thought it would be interesting to keep my grade book in it too. I've looked at the org-mode manual for the spreadsheet functions as well as looked in the GNU Emacs Calc manual for such a function but to no avail. Does such a function exist in org-mode?

[Orgmode] odd org-babel R behaviour
After recently upgrading to the most recent org-mode, org-babel R and org-export have shown some rather peculiar behavior. After processing some R code, the results are printed out below the code block with #+results: #+begin_example blah blah blah (at least that's what I suspect reviewers at the last journal I submitted to called the output) #+end_example Now, when I go to export my org file to pdf, the R-output does not appear. However, if I go through and either delete the #+results: line or put a blank line between it and #+begin_example, the export works fine and the output from R appears. The same is true if I export to HTML. Now that I know the fix, the problem is easy enough to deal with as I go through a batch of experiments. -Neil = Neil Hepburn, Economics Instructor Department of Social Sciences, Augustana Faculty University of Alberta 4901-46 Avenue Camrose, Alberta T4V 2R3 Phone (780) 679-1588 email nhepb...@ualberta.ca No trees were harmed in creating this message.

Re: [Orgmode] No title or date in LaTeX export
Hi Xin
To get rid of this stuff, simply put the following at the top of your org file:
#+OPTIONS: author:nil
#+TITLE:
#+DATE:
alternatively you can use
#+TITLE:
#+AUTHOR:
#+DATE:
If you use the second option, your tex file will have
\title{}
\author{}
\date{}
but will not have the \maketitle command.

Hello Experts,
When I export the org file to LaTeX, I want no title or date in the first

So far, I only found
#+OPTIONS: author:nil can make:
%\author{}
I also tried :
# Local Variables:
# org-export-latex-title-command:

but still saw the \maketitle .
Any suggestions?

[Orgmode] bug in org-mode-export-as-latex
The latest version (7.01g) seems to have a bug when exporting to PDF (and
LaTeX) with tables with labels. The export does not label the table in
the LaTeX file although it is labeled in the .org file. The following
code in an org-mode file
#+CAPTION: A Simple Table
#+LABEL: tbl:ATbl
|--+--|
| column 1 | column 2 |
|--+--|
| thing| one |
| thing| two |
|--+--|
leads to this in the LaTeX file
\begin{table}[htb]
\caption{A Simple Table}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
\hline
column 1column 2 \\
\hline
thing one \\
thing two \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{table}
Note the missing \label{} command in the LaTeX version. I rolled back to
version 6.34c and everything works.
Cheers,
Neil

Re: [Orgmode] AI for orgmode
Hi All I've just caught wind of this thread but I thought I would share my own very recent experiences as a newbie in org-mode and my experiences may help shed some light on things. Anyhow, I am quite new to org-mode (as in the last two or three weeks). I'm also sort of new to emacs. I've used it occasionally over the years but only recently started using it extensively because of ESS and AucTeX. So, I am by no means an emacs expert --- I know how to start it and use some of its tools but configuring it is not something I can claim to know anything about. I stumbled across org-mode when I did a google search for GTD and came across a couple of blogs and sites that talked about it. Each of them provided snippets of their .emacs files and so that's where I started. On several occasions I was stumped by a configuration issue and tried looking in the on-line manual but didn't really get anywhere. It wasn't until I tried using mobileorg that I started to develop a better understanding of things. I was having trouble getting mobileorg to work and Richard Moreland provided several key bits of information and it on that basis that I started to piece things together. In reflecting on that experience and looking back at the manual, the manual makes perfect sense -- for someone more knowledgeable about emacs and lisp in general. However, to an emacs novice it seems to assume a greater level of background knowledge than what may be reasonable. However, that said, trying to dumb-down the manual so that emacs novices are better served would likely do a disservice to experienced emacs users -- they would have to wade through pages of minutia and really basic stuff to get to what's important for them. I think that Darlan's idea of tutorials that start with the really basic stuff and then build up to the good stuff has much merit. In some respects, what may be needed is a parallel documentation stream: The current documentation as it is for those more experienced and another one for newbies (Org-Mode for newbies sort of thing.) Anyhow, just my two-cents worth. -Neil PS. Now that I have gotten the hang of org-mode to be reasonably functional in it, I just cannot see myself going back to OmniFocus and iCal -- both good programs in their own right but Org-mode can just do it all so much better. On 2010-03-19, at 6:48 PM, Darlan Cavalcante Moreira wrote: I strongly agree with just start simple. The manual is very good, but it is better when you are looking for something specific. One of the best things in org is that it is very flexible and you can use it in the way you want, but in the beginning I didn't know how I should use it or how I want to use it. One thing that helped me was seeing the setup of power users. This allowed me to quickly see what org could do and how it could be done. Only after that I found the best way to use org-mode for me. But the problem is that I could only find power users setups. Maybe some tutorial that builds a setup like that from scratch would be good. The tutorial could be broken in parts where each part adds something to the previous one and the user could use the setup from parts he already viewed for some time to really feel org-mode. Reading each part would be more rewarding then reading a lot of information and only after that trying org-mode.

I looked around a couple of months ago for a task manager and found a lot of posts on planner and org-mode but was turned off by the apparently steep learning curve. I think the word 'piecemeal' seems to come up a lot in people's learning tendencies. For example, when looking a Sacha Chua's blogs about org-mode, seeing her code to do what I thought was 'one simple thing' was completely revolting... not because I didn't think it was awesome or desirable, but because it made me feel like I would never understand or learn to ever be where her and other users have gotten themselves after months and years

[Orgmode] Newbie question: mobileorg and org-mode configuration
Hi All I am a new user to org-mode and was almost immediately hooked. (I'm also a relatively recent convert to emacs and Aquamacs.) I went out and fetched the mobileorg app for my iPod touch from the Apple appstore and now I'm rapidly losing what's left of my hair - doh! Anyhow, I have org-mode working happily in Aqumacs emacs but I can't seem to get things to work with org-mobile. Here's the basics of my setup -my .org files reside in a folder on my iDisk so that I can sync them between my laptop and my desktop. That all works swell -I have mobileorg on my iPod set to hit my idisk account and that works fine. The problem I am having is figuring out the configuration stuff in my Preferences.el file. Here's a copy of the relevant section (setq org-mobile-directory /Volumes/nhepburn/org/stage/) (setq org-mobile-files (quote(/Volumes/nhepburn/org/todo.org /Volumes/nhepburn/org/teaching.org /Volumes/nhepburn/org/research.org))) (setq org-mobile-inbox-for-pull /Volumes/nhepburn/org/transit.org) (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-push-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp -r /Volumes/nhepburn/org/stage/* u...@wdhost:mobile/))) (add-hook 'org-mobile-pre-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp u...@wdhost:mobile/mobileorg.org /Volumes/nhepburn/org/stage/ ))) (add-hook 'org-mobile-post-pull-hook (lambda () (shell-command scp /Volumes/nhepburn/org/stage/mobileorg.org u...@wdhost:mobile/))) my *.org files for org-mode reside in ../org/ while the mobile files reside in ../org/stage/ I've scoured the Org-mobile manual, trolled through the mailing list archive, and spent countless hours doing google searches. Can someone suggest the right bit of stuff to put in here and then how to make org-mode in Aquamacs push to and pull from my mobileorg stuff? Thanks in advance.
