Carsten Dominik wrote: Well, at least it was not a close call :-) http://sourceforge.net/community/cca09/winners/ shows that we came in 9th of the 10 contenders. It looks to me that org-mode received around 873 votes which is pretty good in my book. PortableApps.com, a heavily advertised commercial product for Windows, could only muster 3880 votes. I am guessing that the percentage of PortableApps.com users who voted for it is much smaller than the percentage of org-mode users who voted for org-mode. The PortableApps.com website claims that 100 million portable apps have been downloaded which must mean that the number of users of PortableApps.com is huge compared to the number of users of org-mode. With no advertising, no money, and a much smaller user base, org-mode outperformed PortableApps.com in the voting. Sounds like a victory to me.

This one is optional, but it could make a big difference. We'd like to show our voters a video that introduces them to the core members of your team. Send along the URL (on YouTube) and we'll make sure they see it! Perhaps one could collect nice photos of each of the major contributors who agree to be part of the video. These photos could be shown sequentially (with appropriate transitions between photos) in the video while the sound track would describe who is in each photo. If adding sound is too much trouble, one could describe each photo with text, maybe even org-mode style text. It shouldn't be too hard to make such a video. I bet ffmpeg would work to make a nice ogg video that could be posted on the org-mode website. I'm sure it would be easy to put it on YouTube also. 6.

[Orgmode] IDs
I saw some discussion on the list about custom IDs, but it confused me. So, here is my problem. I upgraded to 6.26. Now, when I export my index.org file to html, the headlineline * Courses is exported to div id=outline-container-2 class=outline-2 h2 id=nilCourses /h2 div class=outline-text-2 id=text-2 instead of div id=outline-container-2 class=outline-2 h2 id=sec-2Courses /h2 div class=outline-text-2 id=text-2. This happens for all other headlines in index.org too. I don't want to define a custom ID for every headline, I want org-mode to generate them automatically as it did in the past. For now, I've gone back to 6.25b. I see that 6.26d is out. I haven't tried it yet. Is this issue resolved in 6.26d, or is the new way the default. If so, how do I make things work the old way?

Perhaps, when I eventually learn lisp, I'll work on a way to implement this. If you want external files, You likely will use the same for a set of pages. After pulling the latest version you can do this: 1. prepare any style files and script files you want to use 2. do this (setq org-export-html-style-include-default nil) (setq org-export-html-style-include-scripts nil) (setq org-export-html-style link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=gen-style.css link rel=stylesheet type=text/css href=style.css script type=text/javascript src=org-info.v.0.1.0.5.js/script script type=text/javascript src=org-html.js/script script type=text/javascript src=mystery.js/script) Instead of the last setting, you can also use #+STYLE in a file to specify the style files for this particular page.

[EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote:
One comment. I've been using LaTeX for about 15 years, Emacs for about
2 years and Org-Mode for about 8 months. My LaTeX files are heavily
customized and I'm used to working with them without org-mode. My few,
and not very serious, attempts to move my LaTeX work to org-mode have
not given satisfactory results, so I've put off changing my work flow
until I have more time to figure out the LaTeX export features of
org-mode. But, I am using org-mode extensively for my other work
related tasks. I have org files that keep track of my students' grades
and my web site is built from a single org file. As you pointed out in
your talk, org-mode allows one to work!
There was a post on this list from Russel Adams, that shows how to use
custom LaTeX headers. My setup is derived from that post, and enables
the usage of a commen LaTeX-header for Org export and the rest of my
LaTeX files:
.emacs:
(setq org-export-latex-classes (cons '(myarticle
% BEGIN My Article Defaults
\\input{/home/sebastian/develop/lib/latex/header-pdf.tex}
(\\rzchapteridx{%s} . \\rzchapteridx{%s})
(\\rzsection{%s}{} . \\rzsection{%s})
(\\rzsubsection{%s} . \\rzsubsection{%s})
(\\rzsubsubsection{%s} . \\rzsubsubsection{%s}))
org-export-latex-classes))
As you can see here, I include the common header file, and customize
the classes used for headlines on export. Since now the creation of
PDFs is now possible directly from Org-mode (C-c C-e p), this is the
easiest way to do it.
*.org:
#+LaTeX_CLASS: myarticle
Thanks for this information. I still have a long way to go before I can
use org-mode for LaTeX export.
First, I don't know emacs lisp. I've been planning to learn it, but
finding the time is difficult and I'm not a professional programmer.
Second, the customizations I use for LaTeX vary widely between files. My
understanding of your code, please correct me if I'm wrong, is that if I
have multiple header files for different types of documents, then I must
change my .emacs each time I want to change headers. This doesn't seem
to be very convenient to me. I suppose it is possible to write some code
to take care of multiple header files, but what if one has a brand new
header file?
Please understand that I haven't really explored the LaTeX export
features of org-mode very thoroughly. However, my impression is that the
LaTeX export capabilities of org-mode are somewhat limited at this time.
This isn't a bad thing. I don't think org-mode was designed to be a
replacement for something like AUCTeX. Anyway, org-mode is works well
for me for non-LaTeX tasks, so I'll continue to rely on it.

Anyway, in case others are interested, the message is below. - Hi Jörg, I can't answer your question, but I've recently updated org-mode in Carbon emacs. Here is what I did. 1. After decompressing org-6.06b.tar.gz, open the Makefile file, using Emacs of course ;), in the org-6.06b folder. 2. You will see the following text ##-- ## YOU MUST EDIT THE FOLLOWING LINES ##-- First, you must provide the name of your Emacs binary. Mine is: # Name of your emacs binary EMACS=/Applications/Emacs/22.2/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs The /Applications/Emacs/22.2/ part is my quirky path to Emacs.app. From what you've written, it appears that your path is straightforward as follows: # Name of your emacs binary EMACS=/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs Next, you must give the path to of Emacs.app. Mine is: # Where local software is found prefix=/Applications/Emacs/22.2 Yours should be: # Where local software is found prefix=/Applications If you accidentally put a / at the end (as I did once), the installation will fail. Finally, put in the paths for the local lisp files and the info files as follows: # Where local lisp files go. lispdir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/lisp/textmodes # Where info files go. infodir = $(prefix)/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/info Don't forget to C-x C-s to save the changes. 3. Now, open a terminal and cd to the org-6.06b directory that contains the Makefile you just edited. Run the following: $ make $ sudo make install $ sudo make install-info The installation is complete. To check this do M-x org-version in Emacs. You may have to restart Emacs first. Scott Randby - Jörg Hagmann wrote: Hi Edward, hi Scott: Thanks for the answers. I did use checkboxes before, so C-c C-c and C-c # were familiar. But it turned out that (properly!) updating to the recent org-version corrected everything. I recently changed from 10.4 to Leopard, it's possible that the problem existed since the switch---but I don't know. Anyway: now I know how to update org-mode! Thanks, Scott.

Re: [Orgmode] Moving Subtree Weirdness
Hi Stephan, Thanks, I was using M-Shift-s down instead of M-Shift down. Now it works fine. Scott Stephan Schmitt wrote: Hi Scott, for me it works like intended.

Re: [Orgmode] Turn on help
Hi Sebastian,
Thanks for the fix. I changed the links in the org-info.js script itself
and the HELP and 'click here' links work fine now. Ahh, the benefits of
free software. You can modify the software however you wish!

Hi Scott,
I can confirm the black 'HELP' link. I think browsers do that, because
of the missing 'href' attribute in the link. I've put this on my TODO
list...
It's now:
a onclick=org_html_manager.showHelp();
It should be (obviously):
a href=javascript:org_html_manager.showHelp();
In the meantime you could solve that problem by adding these lines to
your stylesheet:
a {
color:blue;
cursor:pointer;
}
Sorry for the inconvenience.
All the best,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
I'm embarrassed to say that the help function works after all. I thought it
didn't work because the HELP link isn't blue, it is black and the mouse doesn't
indicate a link when the pointer is put on the HELP. I didn't think to try to
click on it (DUH). So my only question is how do I make the HELP link blue?
I've tried this on Firefox 3 and Safari. Both give the black HELP link. I'm
using v.0.0.6.9 of the script which I downloaded last week I believe. Typing '?'
does show the shortcut list but the 'click here' gives a black 'here' instead of
blue. You may visit my web site to see what I mean:

By the way, I don't think the documentation is bad or outdated. I'm very pleased
with your script and the documentation. With your script and org-mode I'm able
to maintain a nice website with one text file. My old site was a pain to
maintain with all of its html files. After a few hours of transferring
everything (well, I'm not quite finished) to one ORG file, I have a website that
is far more sophisticated than the old site. Thank you very much for such a
fantastic script.

Re: [Orgmode] Reveal Problem
Hi Carsten, I understand and appreciate your point, but in my case there is no danger of accidentally typing in invisible text. The reason I don't want to display the next headline is that I wish to fold the headlined region I'm working in and return everything to the state it was when I first did the search. However, I've resolved the issue by placing a blank headline between tagged headlines as follows: * Grades ** Student 1 *** Exams :exams: Exam scores *** *** Homework :homework: Homework scores This way the blank headline is displayed instead of the tagged headline and everything looks nice when I refold headlined regions. (I hope I'm using correct terminology here.) Many thanks for your help. Scott Randby Carsten Dominik wrote: Hi Scott, this is supposed to be a *feature*. The problem is, if you show the text below such a headline in a sparse tree, then the next heading is still attached to the last line of the text made visible, and that causes problems when editing. You can try this by going to one of those headline revealed by the sparse tree command and typing M-s show-entry Then the last line of the text made visible contains ellipses. Suppose you now start editing this text, move the cursor directly before the 3 points and type a few characters. Strange things will happen and when you later make the whole buffer visible with `C-c C-a' you wil see that you typed somewhere in invisible text, but not where you intended to. Therefore, when making the text under a headline visible, I also force the next headline to be visibile so that editing is safe, assuming that you are intending to edit that text. Why does it bother you so much? - Carsten On Jul 27, 2008, at 9:20 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I upgraded my org-mode to 6.06b which took care of the problem of showing undesired headlines after a search, but a new issue has arisen.

[Orgmode] Problem with tags
When I do a tag search (C-c \), the headline containing the tag is displayed along with the next headline (which does not contain the tag I was searching for) at that level if there is one. I don't want the next headline displayed. How do I adjust org-mode to stop displaying these undesired headlines?

Re: [Orgmode] Problem with tags
Thanks for the solution. I believe that I am using an older version of org-mode. I will upgrade later, but setting the `org-show-following-heading' variable to nil will do for now.

The default in recent versions is nil, the fact that you do see these exposed must mean that you are using an oder version of org-mode, or that you have configured this variable yourself. - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] Re: Google Tech Talk
The talk was impressive, especially because it made me aware of the org-mode web site and this mailing list. I've been using org-mode for about 7 months after finding out about it through an article in Linux Journal. I'm a mathematics professor and I use org-mode to keep track of grades. I have things set up so that all I need to do is input scores into a table and all calculations are done automatically. Very cool. Every other system I've used for recording grades has either been a pain to customize or required me to do hand calculations. Org-mode was the solution to my grade recording problem. I use org-mode for a few other tasks, but I'm still learning its features. From the talk, I played around with the LaTeX preview feature, but I don't think I'll use it much. The preview graphic was too small for my bad eyes and I already have a relatively convenient system for doing LaTeX work. However, I am intrigued by the publishing features of org-mode when it comes to HTML. I use tables on my website because certain unmentionable browsers don't work well with CSS unless one is willing to maintain complicated code. I don't have time to maintain complicated code for ridiculous browsers, so I still use tables. I gather that org-mode will be enable me to simplify working with HTML tables. I'll definitely look into this. Emacs and org-mode are fantastic. Scott Randby ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
