[O] adjustment of schedules in org

[Christian Brandstätter]

Dear list,

I am rather new to org and I have a question to practitioners: How do 
you adjust your priorly set up dates (deadline extension, etc.)? I would 
manually delay certain entries. Thus I would lose the information of the 
original schedule. Is there a simple way to keep that information?
Or, differently: what would be a (more) reasonable way to go to adjust 
project time frames in emacs org?


Best,
Christian

You're probably looking for the `org-log-reschedule' option: that will
let you leave a stamp or take a note if you change the scheduled date of
an option.

I know that would end up doubling the size of my org files. :)

Hi Bastien,

Just pinging on this. If the answer is no, that's fine; otherwise I'd love
to get this merged so I can stop monkey-patching every time I update org :-)

One bit that will help is adding

#+options: toc:nil

to your org file to not request the table of contents.  Not sure if you
can remove the id entries however.

Just tested what I suggested and, actually, adding

#+options: toc:nil

removes all the cruft you don't want!

[O] How to get "clean" markdown export

[stefano franchi]

Hi all,

I 'm just beginning with org-mode and I' trying to understand how to get a
clean export to markdown. By "clean" I mean: no extraneous html code should
be inserted or interspersed with the markdown code. Using the
installation-provided exporter, I get very different results, with a lot of
extraneous stuff being exported. (See example below)
Apologies if this question has been asked before. Searching the manual and
the list's archives did not provided any enlightenment.

Cheers,

Stefano

P.S. I am on emacs 25  and org-mode 9.0.2 on archlinux, if that matters:


Example: this simple file from a tutorial:

--
*Welcome to org-mode


Welcome, and thanks for trying out Org-mode. Making outlines in org is very
simple. It is just text! Just start typing.

* This is a headline, it starts with one or more stars

A heading has one star, a sub-heading two, etc.

* Working with lists
** Moving around in our outline
*** A level three headline
** Moving around headlines
--


Produced this file when exported to markdown:


---

Table of Contents


1. This is a headline, it starts with one or more
stars
2. Working with lists

Re: [O] org-mode markup vs rst for general content

[John Kitchin]

Could you be more specific about what kind of richness you are looking
for? Many people blog from org-mode, including myself. I use org-mode to
generate html that is rendered with blogofile
(http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu) but others do many other variations.

Personally, org-mode meets all my markup needs and exceeds what is
possible for me in rst, e.g. in rst I do not get to run code blocks,
collapse outlines, etc. (at least out of the box with rst mode).

You could always simply add a note for the particular headline,
org-add-note (C-c C-z), indicating that you changed the deadline or
whatever?  That's what I do if that change matters.

In a general sense…iow, it’s a fact that rst markup is richer than
e.g. Markdown. Probably, Asciidoc(tor) also provides more semantic
richness and make it suitable markup for longer docs/books, so I wonder
where one can put org-mode’s markup on this scale?

Re: [O] Writing exams

[Thomas Hunter]

Funnilly enough, I am grading an exam written in org-mode right now.  I use
the exam class from the ctan archives and set org-latex-classes to have an
entry that looks like this:

  ("exam" "\\documentclass[12pt, addpoints, answers]{exam}"
  ("\\begin{questions}%%%s" "\\end{questions}" "\\begin{questions}%%%s"
"\\end{questions}")
  ("\\begin{question}%%%s" "\\end{question}" "\\begin{question*}%%%s"
"\\end{question*}")
  ("\\begin{parts}%%%s" "\\end{parts}" "\\begin{parts}%%%s"
"\\end{parts}")
  ("\\begin{part}[%s]" "\\end{part}" "\\begin{part*}[%s]"
"\\end{part*}")
  ("\\begin{solution}[%s]" "\\end{solution}" "\\begin{solution}[%s]"
"\\end{solution}"))

After some latex header stuff, the structure looks like this where the
first question has three parts worth 6, 7 and 7 points.
* Questions
** First question
text of first question
*** Rubric :noexport:
*** parts
 6
text of first part
 7
text of second part
 7
text of third part
** second question

[...]

I can send a copy of the orgfile or the produced pdf to any interested
parties.  (It seems like maybe attaching files of any size to an email to
this list is maybe not good etiquette, but I am a first time poster, so
what do I know?)

If anyone else does something like this, but knows what they are doing and
thus does it better, I'd love to hear about it.

org does not deal with javascript or css for me. Those are defined by
the static blog engine (blogofile in this case).

I wrote some posts quite a while ago on the setup here:

If I was starting from scratch I would do something similar, but might
go more for Nikola, Pelican, or maybe one of the org-emacs solutions
that are around.

Yes, it does.

I rolled back to older version of emacs (24.3) and org-mode, and my set up
works, which is what I need.  If I ever find the time, I'll re-visit this
issue.

Sincerely,
Gour

I write legal textbooks (up to 600 printed pages) using org-mode. They 
are structurally simple (no sidebars, no illustrations, no computer 
code). On the other hand, they have lots of citations and internal cross 
references.  Org-mode is the best for this kind of work because of the 
flexible outline structure, not just collapsing and expanding, but the 
"hoisting" facility that allows me to focus on smaller sections. The 
org-ref module does its work, and the internal cross referencing is the 
best.


I recently assisted a friend to put together a memoir that he wanted to 
publish as ePub and print. It had lots of pictures. He had originally 
typed it in Word and it was a nightmare. Images would not stay put, even 
the typeface would change. The on-line publishers like Lulu rejected it. 
We reformatted in in Pandoc Markdown and produced a very nice result. I 
would have preferred org-mode, but he had never been near Emacs. We got 
good ePub, xhtml and print from a single manuscript.


I have also written in rst: it is a slightly richer language out of the 
box with provisions for sidebars, cautions, etc, but unless you really 
need those things, I would stick with org-mode. I find the syntax of rst 
to be very fiddly. Most of the special effects can be obtained with css 
in any case.


The only problem that I have had is converting org-mode to Word files as 
required by my publisher. The ODT export module is fiddly and often 
chokes on my longer documents. When it does choke, it is hard to trace 
the problems. Markdown + Pandoc seems much better in this regard, but 
the outlining features in Emacs do not seem to be as good for the 
Markdown mode. To get a decent export in my latest manuscript I had to 
export to LaTeX then use ht4tex. Not a pretty workflow.


I would say Markdown if you are collaborating with someone not familiar 
with Emacs. The Pandoc version will do a surprising amount.  Org-mode 
for nearly everything else, but if you need more, go on to LaTeX.


This may be more than you wanted to know :-).

Regards,
Alan

Re: [O] org-mode markup vs rst for general content

[Alan L Tyree]

Is there any direct way to get the "see 4.6.1" form of reference? I 
doubt it since it clearly requires a double pass of the manuscript, 
first to assign section numbers and labels, then to put in the 
appropriate reference. LaTeX does that. 


To answer my own question: Don't have any text in the cross reference: 
RTFM section 4.2 Internal Links.


Is there a customisation that allows a regular type link which I like in 
HTML export, but a simple section number when called for a printed output?

your answer seems very helpful.  not sure what you mean in this par though.

just to clarify:

are you referring to exporting to word from org-mode?
Yes, my publisher demands Word manuscripts (I don't know why -- they 
immediately use some other publishing software).

   - odt [is that word format?]

LibreOffice, but LibreOffice exports nicely to Word.

   - org -> markdown -> pandoc [presumably word]
Or even org -> Word using pandoc; the result was a bit of a mess though 
whether going via markdown or directly. Actually two problems:


  - Lots of html markup in the result; noting the earlier posts in 
this thread, that might have been overcome;


  - Internal references were links where the text of the link was 
the text of the target section; what I wanted was the link text to be 
the section number. In other words, the result was "see Holder in Due 
Course" instead of "see 4.6.1". The links were correct in each case, but 
the descriptive text was different.


  - org -> latex -> ht4tex [= word?]

No, I was wrong about that. ht4tex converted to HTML (but with the right 
form of cross reference) and then pandoc to word. The end result had the 
cross references in the form I wanted.


Is there any direct way to get the "see 4.6.1" form of reference? I 
doubt it since it clearly requires a double pass of the manuscript, 
first to assign section numbers and labels, then to put in the 
appropriate reference. LaTeX does that.

i was wondering, too, what format would be good to export to for a
nontechnical reader, from org, and can preserve org's external
hyperlinks and numbered outline structure.
The LibreOffice export is good when it works. I have just found it to be 
hit and miss. If the 'non-technical' reader can handle plain text, I 
would just send them Markdown, otherwise I guess you need to go for Word 
or RTF. It is a painful process.



to the original poster: org can also insert literal target format
code.  for example, you can put literal html code into your export as
needed.  dunno if that fits your needs.

your answer seems very helpful.  not sure what you mean in this par though.

just to clarify:

are you referring to exporting to word from org-mode?

  - odt [is that word format?]
  - org -> markdown -> pandoc [presumably word]
  - org -> latex -> ht4tex [= word?]

i was wondering, too, what format would be good to export to for a
nontechnical reader, from org, and can preserve org's external
hyperlinks and numbered outline structure.

to the original poster: org can also insert literal target format
code.  for example, you can put literal html code into your export as
needed.  dunno if that fits your needs.

the behavior i found occurs when you use a link that refers outside
the exported subtree, which i'd classify as user error.  can that be
made to raise an error signal?

"you are linking to outside the subtree being exported.  the result
will be meaningless for the typical recipient of the export."

thanks.

Read the description of the org-display-inline-images command, which
org-toggle-inline-images uses.  If your link has associated text,
i.e. [[file:image][some text]], you will need to invoke either command
with C-u as, by default, only those messages with no descriptive text
will be displayed as they are not considered "inline".

This is a user error then. Besides, both files could belong to the same
publishing project.

If you are sure you don't want to export these, just filter them out of
the output using a hook or a filter.

[O] org-mode markup vs rst for general content

[Saša Janiška]

Hello,

I’m using org-mode for my task management and it works great…moving to
static-site-generators which do support writing web-content/blog-posts
using both org-mode and rst markup, so consider how does org-mode markup
compare in comparison with the richness of rst markup when it comes to
the general content (blog posts, articles etc.)?

Anyone sufficiently familiar with both can help and shed some light,
since, both markups have decent support withing Emacs itself?


Sincerely,
Gour

You could "advice" (advise in English :-) org-agenda-goto to delete other
windows after invocation?

Or, create a new function which invokes org-agenda-goto and then
delete-other-windows and bind that to the key you want?

Hi Nicolas,

many thanks for the feature, it works exactly as needed. Kudos for the
impressive turnaround time on your end :)

[O] feature proposal, add prefix and suffix to orgtbl matrix

[Uwe Brauer]

Hi

Around two weeks Rasmus suggested to use



#+ATTR_LATEX: :mode math :environment pmatrix :math-suffix \times 
:math-prefix \mathbf{y}=
| a | b |
| c | d |
#+ATTR_LATEX: :mode math :environment pmatrix
| 1 | 2 |
| 3 | 4 |

In order to obtain two matrix clued in the same environment when
exporting to latex. And it works nicely.

Couldn't orgtbl have a  similar feature in order to use it directly in
a latex buffer together with orgtbl mode?

Thanks

Uwe Brauer

Yes, these are solutions. I was just trying to understand why the
functions had different behaviors.

Thanks,

[O] org-mode <--> oddmuse

[Peter Davis]

I've used both org-mode and oddmuse as ways of storing and organizing 
personal information, technical notes, links to sites I want to refer 
to, etc. While emacs and org-mode overall have very powerful features, 
oddmuse has the advantage that I can access and update information from 
anywhere using a mobile device. (Yes, I know about MobileOrg, but that's 
still pretty cumbersome to use.)


I'm assuming there's a straightforward to publish a subset of my org 
docs as oddmuse pages, and push them to a server. Is there a reverse 
option? Can I actually edit oddmuse pages via a browser and then 
re-import them to org-mode for further editing?


Thank you!

[O] Problems with displaying inline images

[Julian M. Burgos]

Dear list,

I cannot get org-mode to display inline images.  Instead, when doing M-x
org-toggle-inline-images I get a "No images to display inline".  But if
I click on the image link, the image appears in a new buffer with no problems.

This happens with a clean emacs instance (emacs -Q), so it is not my
configuration. I am running org mode 9.0.5 on emacs 25.1.1. with support
for ImageMagick, on CentOS 7.

Does anybody has an idea of what could be wrong?

Julian
