Yes indeed, thank you very much!

 Capture template:

   (file+function
~/org/Todo.org
(lambda ()
  (let* ((ctxt (read-string Discussion context: ))
 (ctxt-pt
   (condition-case msg

[O] Capturing to a list in a dynamic 2nd level heading

2012-08-13 Thread Simon Brown
Hi all,

Is it possible with org-capture to create a template that would create
the following:

* Log
** 2012 - Week 33
 - One liner of interest
 - Another one liner of interest

So that is a capture template that generates the 2nd level heading when
required and the text entered is converted to a list entry which is
added to the end of the list.

(format-time-string %G - Week %W) is the correct date string, but
file+headline creates a top level heading and file+olp expects it to
already exist. 

It seems that the text entered must also become a sub heading. Is that
correct?

I'm trying to achieve something very similar to this
http://metajack.im/2009/01/01/journaling-with-emacs-orgmode/

Any suggestions greatly appreciated. I haven't managed to strike gold in
the list archive.

 Just write your own function to take the individual results and concatenate 
 them, e.g.
 
 --8---cut here---start-8---
 (defun full-catastrophe ()
   (format %s :: %s (org-google-weather) (diary-sunrise-sunset)))
 --8---cut here---end---8---
 
 and add 
 
 --8---cut here---start-8---
 %%(full-catastrophe)
 --8---cut here---end---8---

Excellent, I like your style :-)

 I've found part of the problem but I don't know the cause.
 The *.tex file was generated with curly brackets

 And if I remove the slashes(*\ \)* signs the latex code will be something
 like this (e.g \section{\textbf{TODO} Task 1})
 and by exporting it to PDF it looks ok.
 
 The value of the variable *Org Export Latex Todo Keyword Markup* is *

 So it seems that somewhere on the road some slash signs are added without

This sounds like a bug I encountered a while back:

Carsten fixed it a while ago (Thanks!)

I suggest you update.

 You might want to check out this recent ML discussion:
 
 http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/23481/focus=23588
I started that thread, the answer I suspect is simply no. Your options
are MH-E, Gnus, Wanderlust, VM and MEW. I tried Gnus, Wanderlust and
VM trying the hardest with Gnus and Wanderlust. 

Gnus has a lot going for it as it is included in emacs, very active
development and I had it reading my IMAP mail very quickly. It is
however a news reader and that didn't suit me at all. 

Installing Wanderlust I understand is tricky, you need to get it and
it's dependancies from the right branch from CVS as the last release
occured some time ago. I use the ubuntu wl-beta package so didn't have
to do this.

Configuration is far from trvial, my config file has 300 lines. It
took me a week of tweaking to get to a state where I was happier than
I was with my previous mail client. There are still some rough edges.

I do like and use the org integration, but have found the bigger
advantage is that I've now one less reason to leave emacs. How emacs
centric is your current computer use?

Postbox http://forums.appleinsider.com/showthread.php?t=94402 looks
like a very capable application. By all means try all 5 out, I suspect
though that they're not the mail clients you're looking for.

 mbox-style mail files.
I'm trying Wanderlust, but I've started to wonder if it's worth the
effort. I've moved from mbox to Maildirs but wanderlust doesn't seem
to be able to recognise the subdirectories. I don't want to be
changing config everytime I change a list subscription. I also have
yet to get it to successfully autheniticate with any imap server. 

I've got nowhere near trying the org integration. I might try
installing vm 8.1 but at the moment I've already squandered far too
much time on this.

[Orgmode] Org mode and emacs email

2010-03-29 Thread Simon Brown
Hi all,

I currently use mutt as my email client but I'm looking for greater
emacs integration and better html support. Org mode supports at least
gnus, vm and wanderlust. Can anybody advise on the relative pros and
cons? My main restriction is that I don't want to break my mutt setup,
so the client must be able to work with my current collection of mbox
files. I also have 3 IMAP accounts. Using emacs 23 and current org-mode.

I've had a quick look at the gnus manual and it seems to depend upon
importing your mail which rules it out for me. I'm not prepared to
start collecting mail in a mail reader specific way. Most of my mail
is collected by fetchmail, the IMAP accounts are quite low traffic.

 I guess the problem must be that pdflatex does not exist as as

I'm still seeing this problem. pdflatex run as above generates the

I've thought about this some more and although I love colour
everywhere what I'm after is actually quite simple. Firstly on
reflection I agree exporting draws would be bad. 
   Where I work there are a lot of network restrictions which
means many documents are exchanged in printed form. Highlighting the
todo state red or green as it is within org-mode, makes important
points obvious. Some sort of colouring for the date stamps for scheduled,
deadline and closed would be nice as well

[Orgmode] Latex export colouring and properties

Hi all,

Is it possible to colour the output in pdf export in the same way it is 
done in html export? The colouring of tags and timestamps is very 
useful.

Also is it possible to include properties in the output? I'm adding 
effort estimates to the tasks which I'd like to be included in the 
exported pdf.

Thanks,

[Orgmode] Latex Export -- pdf

2009-03-16 Thread Simon Brown
Evening all,

I have a question about how people use the latex exporter if I may, I 
can't find much on the interweb about it. How do you go about tarting 
up the output? The exporter creates 99% of what I want, but the margins 
are daft and I'd prefer a different font. I'm guessing you hand craft a 
LaTeX preamble of some sort? I am unfamiliar with LaTeX having taken 
the LyX route a long time ago. I could use LyX to do this, but I'd 
prefer it to be automagic. Should I start reading Lamport? Can anyone 
share a template?

Thanks

Simon
