Time Based Log Formatting

[Robert Love]

I use Org Mode to log data while monitoring events.  I used YASnippets to 
insert time but Org mode flushes every thing left.   What I get looks like

09:12  All Systems started OK
09:15  Remote system xyzzy reports problems with the framistat cluster.
It was restarted with the same configuration
09:16 xyzzy failed again, changing configuration.
09:17 successful restart


What I want looks like

09:12  All Systems started OK
09:15  Remote system xyzzy reports problems with the framistat cluster.
   It was restarted with the same configuration
09:16 xyzzy failed again, changing configuration.
09:17 successful restart

Tab doesn’t work to move the text over.   How can I make to continue lines, 
that is not starting with a timestamp, indent?

There are many bullets that describe the equipment and set up and are not part 
of the time based log.  I guess I only want the time records to format this way.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Re: [O] LaTex Output with Index

[Robert Love]

With your instructions I can now generate a document with an index.  Thanks.

However, I have one hitch.   How do I generate an index with an entry that has 
an “@“ symbol in it?

For example

#+index: @ terms

I’ve tried \@ and \verb{@} and several other ideas but once there is an @ sign, 
no entry shows up.  If I have “terms” instead of “@ terms” it works fine. The @ 
sign shows up OK in the body of the document, just not in an index.

Any suggestions?

[O] LaTex Output with Index

[Robert Love]

Can someone point to an example of using Org mode to generate a LaTeX document 
with an index?   I see the Org has section 13.1.8 Generating an index.   What 
is the means to turn that into LaTex with an index?   Do I have to use a 
project?  Is there a simple example?

Re: [O] Multiple Indices

[Robert Love]

I don’t understand this advice.   I went looking for the source for the Org 
manual and found it IS written in Texinfo. This is version 8.2.10.   Is 
there a native Org mode manual written in Org?  If so, please provide the 
source location.

[O] Multiple Indices

[Robert Love]

I’m using Org mode to document some software.  When I see Texinfo used for 
this, I see that you can have a subject index and a variable index.  How do I 
achieve the same thing in Org mode?  Can someone point to examples of this?

[O] Hyperlink to Table in Other Org file

[Robert Love]

All my attempts to create an org mode link to a table in another org file fails 
to find the table.   Instead I’m offered to create a new heading, which is not 
what I want.

In Section 4.3 External Links I see this format:

file:projects.org::some wordstext search in Org file(31)

so my link looks like 

This is how to find error codes [[file:rst.org::tbl:luaerrors][Errors]]

And I have this entry in the org file with the table

#+LABEL: tbl:luaerrors

I’ve also tried the absolute path.   All advice appreciated.

I have gotten many good ideas from these replies to my question.  Thanks to all.

[O] Example of Make file for Org Mode LaTeX to pdf

[Robert Love]

Does anyone have a make file example that has emacs load an .org file, process 
it into LaTeX and export as PDF, all from the command line without the user 
doing anything more than type ‘make’?   All examples appreciated.

[O] Org-Journal Weekly View?

[Robert Love]

I’ve been using org-journal to record daily activities at work.  When it comes 
time to write the weekly progress report, is there a way to view a weeks worth 
of org-journal entries?   It’s fairly easy to go day by day but I would like a 
weekly overview if there is such a thing.

[O] Failure to Build

[Robert Love]

When I try to build Org 8.0.7 I get many, many of this warning, then I get the 
error

org.el:15592:4:Warning: attempt to open-code `anonymous lambda' with too many 
arguments
org.el:15592:4:Warning: attempt to open-code `anonymous lambda' with too many 
arguments
org.el:15592:4:Error: Variable binding depth exceeds max-specpdl-size

No org.elc is ever produced.

$ emacs --version
GNU Emacs 23.1.1

When I tried Googling this error I see something about Xemacs but nothing is 
really relevant.

I asume production code would build without errors.  Is there something with my 
emacs? 

Anybody else encounter this?

Re: [O] LaTeX export: underscores and the syntax package

[Robert Love]

And I find the same problem with export to HTML.  I have many variables and 
paths that have underscores in them.  The underscores all are shown as 
subscripts.   I don't want to have to go thru all my org files and escape the 
underscore.  

How do I make the underscore be a subscript only in math mode?

 Good afternoon all,
 
 I spent the best part of the afternoon trying to figure out why an 
 org-generated .tex file wouldn’t compile with my set-up. It turns out that 
 the `syntax’ package messes a bit with the definition of an underscore, 
 making it impossible to use the underscore in a \label.
 
 Unfortunately, the LaTeX exporter uses underscores in its section labels.
 
 
 Actually, it is possible to have the _ in \label: use the `nounderscore’ 
 option with the syntax package. But you then do not get the tweaked 
 underscore in plain text (unless you use \_ again).
 
 Since I’d like to keep the syntax package and the ease of using plain 
 underscores, I’d like to avoid the _ in labels. 
 
 Maybe I didn’t look hard enough, but I didn’t find an obvious way to change 
 the way org generates the labels. Would it be an option to use the same 
 label-generating code as AUCTeX mode? That would be very nice!
 
 
 Thanks,
 Peter.
