[Orgmode] Questions about org-capture templates and usage
I apologize if I am breaking "netiquette* by posting multiple
questions in a single posting. If so, please let me know, and I will
pare the following down into "bite-sized" chunks.
I have fallen in love with org-capture, from the start. I have had
some problems, and questions. The following is a short list of some
of my questions and issues . I'm sorry to do it this way, but perhaps
it's a tradeoff: many messages, or one long one. Which is more
annoying?
1. Eventually a tutorial will surely be available. I haven't found
one. Useful tutorials for me would be
1. How to make general templates, and pitfalls.
2. Advanced usages of org-capture: using functions, etc.
3. Common errors and causes
2. Documentation is minimal, while the complexity of the system is
great.
3. I have had to modify my usage to accomodate to changes in org-capture,
relative to org-remember. Some differences devolve from explicit
design features
1. It is no longer necessary to auto-save uncommitted items.
As a consequence there seems (as I understand it) to no
longer be a way to use a prefix key to allow one to visit the
item in it's context AFTER committing it with C-c C-c.
I have spend a good deal of time worrying over this, but
haven't solved the problem. Probably 90% of the times I save
(C-c C-c) the Captured item, I stumble over how to find it
again to enhance or review the item.
*Is there a way to do this, or can we request a way to do this?*
4. I would like to be able to capture to a non-orgmode file.
My remember template saved some notes, a list of items from an
agenda search, or any text was marked as a region, as a memo
wrapped up as a latex memo, with a latex memo header and
an \end{document.
It is my understanding that this won't work anymore because
capture will not save to a non-orgmode file.
*Is this correct, and/or what, if anything can I do to make
this work?* `
I have thought that it might be possible to make a custom agenda
report for such searches, that could be edited before final
export. I would want this to be printable as a memo.
5. Requests for Features:
1. An indication of the current target would be useful on either
the modeline or the CAPTURE header line.
2. Likewise, an indicator or nestedness of unsaved capture
items. (probably not worth the clutter).
3. Is there a way to go to the last captured item? Is there a
ring that can be cycled through? *This would be useful*
Thank you for this fantastic work.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: MORE: Using git via USB for personal org dir and other data files
[Thank you to Bernt for the *clear* explanation of using branches!] I seem to be moving out of the woods with this, and for the most part, the experiment has been going smoothly. However, I've run afoul of permissions, a bugaboo that was mentioned in an earlier post on this topic. I established a bare git repo on the USB drive, from a reasonably clean tree. Pushing changes went well later on. I cloned this repo onto the second machine, edited quite a bit, but was dismayed when I tried to push: an error message indicated that some file couldn't be written. So far, the problem seems to be permissions. Preliminary checking shows that the group and user IDs are numerical on the flash drive, corresponding to the ID of the user who originally cloned the repo. I have a tentative plan of action, but I know nothing about the use of permissions with git. 1. I have established a group "git" with a high group number, so I can set create the same group on the work machine, with the same group number. (I think it's too complicated to change user numbers at this point). My users on the two machine have different user names. It would be pretty complicated right now to change the user's ID number. 2. I am setting the group permissions as read and write. # chmod -R g+w /media/BLUE/org.git 3. Does this make sense? This is a great thing. I want to put a whole bunch of work in such a repo. Thank you for the help.

[Orgmode] org-table and formulas
Hi, Here's what I'm trying to do (without success) in my spreadsheet: I have a first table : #+TBLNAME: table1 | ... |... | |...|... and a second table: #+TBLNAME: table2 | line_reference | ... |... | |...|... The line_reference is the line number to get some information in the table1. So in a cell of the table2, I tried a formula like: remote(table1,@$1$3) ($1 = the line_reference) which of course, didn't work. then I tried to use elisp: remote(table1,'(concat "@" $1 "$3")') but no success anyway. after all, I decided to merge my 2 tables because it looks like I can use elisp inside a org function (remote). The last tried formula was: '(concat "@" $1 "$3")' ,($1 = the line_reference). The problem of this formula is only that I got the string "@2$3" inside the cell and it's not evaluated as a formula. Could anyone give me some hint to get done what I'm trying to do? regards, Alan -- Alan Boudreault Mapgears http://www.mapgears.com/ ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: org-table and formulas
Hi Sébastien and thank you for your answer. The problem with that technique is that I'll have to name ALL the cell for ALL the colomn. Here's an example of my table: #+TBLNAME: FOOD | Name| Brand | Amounts (g) | Calories | Protein | Carbohydrate | Fat | |-+---+-+--+-+--+--| | Poitrine Poulet | KirkLand | 100 | 100 | 24 |0 |1 | | Capeli d'angelo| Primo | 85 | 300 | 10 | 63 |1 | | Couscous | Clic | 62 | 220 | 8 | 46 |1 | | Fromage Cottage | Sealtest | 125 | 100 | 15 |8 |1 | | Ficello | Black Diamond | 21 | 60 | 6 |0 |4 | | Concombre cru| | 100 | 15 |0.65 | 3.63 | 0.11 | | Clementine cru| | 100 | 47 |0.85 |12.02 | 0.15 | In the table 2, I would like to be able to just set a column to ie. 2 (for "Poitrine Poulet"), then I'll be able to get all the info of the different columns I need to do my calculs. I see there is also a "_" option for row name, but I'm unsure on how to specify the column desired with that name and how to get it evaluated if I need to concat something... regards, Alan Sébastien Vauban wrote: Hi Alan, Alan Boudreault wrote: Here's what I'm trying to do (without success) in my spreadsheet: I have a first table : #+TBLNAME: table1 | ... |... | |...|... and a second table: #+TBLNAME: table2 | line_reference | ... |... | |...|...

I also use the subtree export function often. I is easy to define a keyboard macro to deal with the problem. If I had to do it more than once, I'm sure that it is not too hard to write an elisp function to do it. I think that Christian is proably right: for ePub generation, there are other tools that do the job. Two ways that are easy: org -> html -> tidy -m -asxhtml -> (calibre || sigil) I have had trouble getting the calibre ePub to validate, but it is more straightforward than Sigil. On the other hand, Sigil is easier to use to add editing to the basic text and always seems to pass the validation tests. To get proper validation, I have found that the "tidy" step is necessary. Not sure why - tidy always replaces lots of characters, but I haven't had the time to work out what is going on.

[O] DevonThink links in org mode?
Hello, I discovered that "message:" links work great in org-mode (it opens the message in Mail.app). However, if I click on a link from DevonThink (which looks like this: x-devonthink-item://700A651C-E395-462C-873A-13FC92035FBD), I get a dialog which says "no match, create this as a new heading?". Is there a way to tell org-mode to pass the resolution of this link to the system? (For instance, if I do a "open x-devonthink-item://700A651C-E395-462C-873A-13FC92035FBD" in a terminal window, things work as expected.) Thanks a lot, Alan

[O] [OT] Configuring bbdb 3
Hello, Since I'm spending more and more time in Emacs, mostly in org mode, I moved my email reading and writing there. Everything is happily configured (I'm using gnus), with one exception: email address completion. I've read a few things online and it seems that bbdb is the way to go, so I compiled and installed bbdb 3. Unfortunately I could not find any configuration example online (the ones I found were for bbdb 2, but things seem to have changed a lot, and the conversion guide in the emacswiki did not help). I know this is off topic for this list, but if someone would be willing to share his configuration, I would very much appreciate it. (I'm not aiming for much: I want the addresses of messages I read to be added automatically in bbdb, and to be able to complete from them when writing a message.) Thanks a lot, Alan

It works great with one caveat: it's calling "sudo" to do the "make install". As I install locally, I don't want to use sudo. Is it possible to configure something in local.mk to do this?

Hello, I'm starting to play with org-store-link, and I've noticed that if I create a link to a gnus message, this link will be broken if I move the message to another mailbox. Is it possible to have a stable link that would survive such a move? Thanks, Alan

Thanks, that worked great. The only part I'm still trying to figure out
is to find in which group the mail is in (nnregistry is finding it, and
displaying it, but the modeline mentions the old group and not the one
where the message has been moved to). I guess this is also why
displaying the thread does not work.
For the record, here is the settings I've used:

[O] repeater not working?
Hello, I'm starting to play with repeaters, and I cannot make them work. Here is a sample of a small file I have: *** Archive Mail [2/2] SCHEDULED: <2012-09-01 Sat +1m> DONE Read and archive all mail (orgmode, Sent) CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:03] DONE Create monthly folder and move mail there CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:06] As you can see, subtasks are done, and I have set a repeater for the scheduling for one month. If I go on the first line and close the entry, I get the following: *** DONE Archive Mail [2/2] CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:13] SCHEDULED: <2012-09-01 Sat +1m> DONE Read and archive all mail (orgmode, Sent) CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:03] DONE Create monthly folder and move mail there CLOSED: [2012-09-01 Sat 15:06] However no new entry appears scheduled for one month in the future.

Re: [O] repeater not working?
I found the problem, and it was me: my original entry does not have a "TODO" in the title. (My reasoning for not putting the TODO was that it's a project, so as such it should not appear in my agenda, only the tasks should appear.) So when I close it (change the state to DONE), the "choose a state window" remains open, which I hadn't noticed before. When I choose a state in this window, then the project becomes scheduled again. To reproduce: * Project SCHEDULED: <2012-09-02 Sun +1m> ** TODO task1 ** TODO task2 Changing the project status to DONE leaves the "choose a status" window open. I guess I'm too much into an OmniFocus way of organizing thing, and need to dig deeper in orgmode to find the canonical way of doing this. For repeating projects, do you use checklists like Memnon Anon? Best, Alan

My question is: how do you get a link from org to gnus that still works even if messages are moved around.

So things that are captured in evernote stay there to be searched later? Do you link from org to evernote? And do you have data flow from org to evernote? (I'm asking all these questions because my current capture mode when I'm away from the computer is to send myself an email, which is not very efficient… so I'd be glad to understand other processes.)

[O] Tangling to Multiple Files
Hi, how does one tangle a single code block to multiple files? I thought the following might work, but unfortunately it does not. Set the frame size. #+HEADERS: :tangle user-host-a.el user-host-b.el #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq initial-frame-alist '((width . 80) (height . 38))) #+END_SRC To provide some background, I'm using =org-babel-load-file= in my init.el file to load up my Emacs configuration from an Org file—call it "user.org." I'd like to use just one user.org file across multiple computers, however, meaning I'd like user.org to tangle into user-host-a.el and user-host-b.el, for instance. The configurations are only slightly different, so I'd like to be able to selectively indicate to Org-mode which code blocks to tangle into.
Re: [O] Tangling to Multiple Files

I'm resurrecting this old thread because I need to write a

org-koma-letter.el in the contrib/lisp directory, compiled it, and
required it. I created the association as suggested, but when I export

[O] Removing the date in a subtree export using the new exporter
Hello, I'm using the new exporter to create a pdf (through latex) of a subtree of a huge file, and I want to remove some default information. I found out a way to do it, but I'm not sure it's the right way. Here it is. #+BEGIN_SRC org :PROPERTIES: :EXPORT_TITLE: Foo bar :EXPORT_OPTIONS: toc:nil author:nil :EXPORT_DATE: ~ :END: #+END_SRC The part about which I'm not sure is how to remove the date. I tried putting nothing instead of the '~' but it does not work. Maybe there could be an option for it? Alan

'("latexmk -pdflatex='xelatex --shell-escape' -pdf -quiet %f"))
(I need the "--shell-escape" to run minted)
Thanks a lot!

I wanted to fix this and saw that you already did. However it seems that
LaTeX still adds a date when a "\maketitle" happens with no date
specified. This small patch should fix this.

[O] Literate programming of interactive proofs?
Hello, I want to use org-mode to write a paper about a development in Coq. Coq is an interactive proof system, which can be run (among other ways) interactively through emacs. The interactive part is very important, as doing or maintaining proofs often requires exploring many different direction. I'm wondering if it's still possible to use org-mode to write such a paper. I see two ways of doing it: - either be able to interactively interact with Coq from org-mode - or write the development separately, and have a way to include parts of the file (for instance identified by special markers in some comments) into the final paper. Is any of this possible? The second option would probably require some custom code, but I don't know if it would be very complex. Thanks a lot, Alan Schmitt
[O] org-agenda-ignore-scheduled not taken into account in custom agenda blocks?
Hello, I'm implementing some of the ideas of the great norang page (http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html), but there is one thing that is failing me. I can see that "org-agenda-ignore-scheduled" work for the global todo list, but it does not seem to be working when using a custom block. For instance, using the following definition: #+BEGIN_SRC elisp (tags-todo "-WAITING-CANCELLED/!NEXT" ((org-agenda-overriding-header "Next Tasks") (org-agenda-skip-function 'bh/skip-projects-and-habits-and-single-tasks) (org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled t) (org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines t) (org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date t) (org-tags-match-list-sublevels t) (org-agenda-sorting-strategy '(todo-state-down effort-up category-keep #+END_SRC I still see scheduled tasks.

[O] refiling, ido-mode, and creating projects
Hello, I found out that using ido-mode is very useful for refiling. However there is one thing I don't know how to do: how to create a parent node in this setup. Here is my configuration (straight from the usual http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html) #+BEGIN_SRC elisp ; Use full outline paths for refile targets - we file directly with IDO (setq org-refile-use-outline-path t) ; Targets complete directly with IDO (setq org-outline-path-complete-in-steps nil) ; Allow refile to create parent tasks with confirmation (setq org-refile-allow-creating-parent-nodes (quote confirm)) ; Use IDO for both buffer and file completion and ido-everywhere to t (setq org-completion-use-ido t) (setq ido-everywhere t) (setq ido-max-directory-size 10) (ido-mode (quote both)) #+END_SRC Let's say I already have an entry "Work/Trips" and I want to refile some task to a new "Paris" project under "Trips". If I "C-c C-w" and type "Trips", I can see that the entry is selected. However, I don't know how to say "select this entry and let me type some more to add to it". If I continue typing "/Paris" I get a "no match" and an error "org-refile-check-position: Please save the buffer to a file before refiling" (which probably happens because I'm inside the agenda, and the refiling target "Trpis/Paris" makes no sense). I tried doing a "C-f" as when using ido with find-file, but it does not do anything. Any suggestion? Thanks, Alan

One should set: (setq org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options t) The trick was that these blocks were tag searches. According to the documentation: Documentation: Non-nil means honor todo-list ...ignore options also in tags-todo search. The variables `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date', `org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp', `org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled', `org-agenda-todo-ignore-deadlines' make the global TODO list skip entries that have time stamps of certain kinds. If this option is set, the same options will also apply for the tags-todo search, which is the general tags/property matcher restricted to unfinished TODO entries only. Alan

No: "todo" customization do not apply to "tag" searches, and a "tag-todo" search is actually a "tag" search. The org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options variable says that "todo" customizations should apply to "tag" searches. Or I just misunderstood everything and got it to work by mistake ;-) Alan

If I'm reading org-agenda.el correctly, tags-todo is a tags search restricted to todo items. In fact, if I had read the documentation for org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled, it would have spared me much testing. It says right there to use "org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options". #+BEGIN_QUOTE org-agenda-todo-ignore-scheduled is a variable defined in `org-agenda.el'. Its value is nil Documentation: Non-nil means, ignore some scheduled TODO items when making TODO list. This applies when creating the global todo list. Valid values are: past Don't show entries scheduled today or in the past. future Don't show entries scheduled in the future. The idea behind this is that by scheduling it, you don't want to think about it until the scheduled date. all Don't show any scheduled entries in the global todo list. The idea behind this is that by scheduling it, you have already "taken care" of this item. tSame as `all', for backward compatibility. This variable can also have an integer as a value. See `org-agenda-todo-ignore-timestamp' for more details. See also `org-agenda-todo-ignore-with-date'. See also the variable `org-agenda-tags-todo-honor-ignore-options' if you want to make his option also apply to the tags-todo list. #+END_QUOTE Alan

I had to write yet another letter, so I digged into this and it's now working well enough for me. I made a few changes to the file (which I attach): - fixed bugs to the menu (export to pdf, open pdf), added "export to tex file" - put a default address "no address" instead of a blank line, otherwise compilation fails - moved the lco file input before the preamble, so that one can specify some additional information (like packages). (This may be questionable, don't hesitate to let me know.) I now have two questions: a technical one and a non-technical one. The technical one: I see that org-e-koma extends the latex exporter with some options: (org-export-define-derived-backend koma-letter e-latex :options-alist ((:closing "CLOSING" nil org-koma-letter-closing) (:from-address "FROM_ADDRESS" nil org-koma-letter-from-address newline) ... These options have 3 arguments instead of 4 in the definition of options in org-e-latex: :options-alist ((:date "DATE" nil org-e-latex-date-format t) (:latex-class "LATEX_CLASS" nil org-e-latex-default-class t) ... Is the missing argument the one that lets EXPORT_OPTIONS specify if some parts can be omitted for subtree export? Or is it something different? The non-technical question: I understand this exporter is just a proof of concept, but it is working quite well for me, and I'm ready to help tweaking this. If I do further modifications, should I send them to the list? Thanks, Alan org-koma-letter.el Description: application/emacs-lisp

I just tried this (using current head on master), but the following

#+attr_latex: :options "0.9\linewidth"
[[./objets.pdf]]
#+end_src
yields
#+begin_src latex

The problem is that even if I remove the ":option", then I get
"(0.9linewidth)" with extra parentheses and the backslash removed.
This is for a beamer file.

I'm having very mixed results with gnus-registry, and I'm still looking for a better solution. In the meantime: - make sure the message is moved from inside gnus, it seems it's required to be tracked by the registry; - if you cannot get to the message, try to search for it (I use notmuch, which works nicely), figure out the mailbox name, and you can then manually fix the link by changing the mailbox name there.

My motivation for this is that I keep a single folder with many org-mode files, some of them for presentations, papers, or letters. I regularly have to go in there and get rid of all the .tex, .log, .pdf, .aux, etc., that accumulate. Thanks, Alan

[O] export_file_name problem with new exporter
Hello, I have "#+EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ~/tmp/jsseccloud.tex" in an org file, but when I export it (either to beamer or to latex), it's using the name of the file instead of the given file name. Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks, Alan

Ah, this is problematic. I need to change the file name for two reasons: - the org file name has spaces in it, and latexmk fails when processing it - processing the file creates a bunch of files that clobber my org directory, so I want the created files to be out of the way If someone has suggestions on how to deal with these issues, I'd gladly try them. Thanks, Alan

[O] including the result of a block in several places?
Hello,
I tried including the result of evaluation a block in several slides,
but the second time it was not included. Here is the code I ran:
#+begin_src org
** Prototype-based objects
#+name: object_example
#+begin_src js :results code output :exports both
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
** Prototype-based objects
#+begin_src js
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
(Some additional images added)
#+end_src
I cannot do a "\pause" because a slide will be inserted in the middle.
Is it possible to have the results of the evaluation of a block in
several places?
Thanks,
Alan

Nice suggestion, thanks a lot. According to the documentation, I can
"call" functions from the library of babel from anywhere, but when I try
this:
#+begin_src org
#+name: test
#+begin_src perl
for (my $i = 0; $i != 10; ++i) {
print "hello, world!\n";
}
#+end_src
#+call: echo(test)
#+end_src
I get a "org-babel-ref-resolve: Reference 'echo' not found in this
buffer".
Do I need to do something special to load the library?

Well, replacing "org-e-beamer-publish-to-latex" by
"org-e-latex-publish-to-latex" results in the same error. I looked at
the code, and my problem was that ":include" expects a list, so I'm able
to make this .
I'll try to see if adding beamer support is difficult.

OK, there's something I'm missing here. First, the patch is a copy of the same functions in org-e-latex with about 100 characters modified (by repeatedly renaming "latex" into "beamer" in several places). I thought it would qualify for a "TINYCHANGE", but I guess this just proves I'm not a lawyer ;-) Second, I was under the impression that commits to contrib did not participate to the 20 lines limit, as this directory is not included in emacs. I put "TINYCHANGE" because Nicolas asked me when I did a small change to org-e-latex. I have actually signed and sent the papers to the FSF, I'm waiting to get them back. Nevertheless it may be good to clarify whether the TINYCHANGE restriction applies to files in contrib. Best, Alan

Thanks a lot, I'm now able to call the "echo" function.
Unfortunately it does not exactly do what I want (but I was not really
clear about what I wanted first). Here is the code I have (don't worry
about the code inside the blocks, the idea is that I want a source block
and its results on two different slides, without having to duplicate
them):
#+begin_src org
** Prototype-based objects
#+name: object_example
#+begin_src js :results code output :exports both
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
** Prototypes resolution
#+BEGIN_SRC coq
Inductive proto : heap -> field -> loc -> loc -> Prop :=
| proto_null : forall h f,
proto h f loc_null loc_null
| proto_here : forall h l f,
indom h l f ->
proto h f l l
| proto_next : forall h l f l' l'',
~ indom h l f ->
binds h l field_proto l' ->
proto h f l' l'' ->
proto h f l l''.
#+END_SRC
** Prototype-based objects
#+call: echo(object_example) :results code output :exports both
#+end_src
My problem is twofold.
- The code from "object_example" is not repeated. I guess that here what
I want is to be able to export a source code block in several places. Is
it possible?
- The highlighting of the results in the "#+call:" line is not in
javascript syntax, and I don't know how to tell the call that the result
will be javascript.
Thanks again,
Alan

This is what I tried
#+begin_src org
** Prototype-based objects
#+name: object_example
#+begin_src js :results code output :exports both
var f = function(a) {
this.x = a
}
f.prototype = {y : 1}
var o = new f (42)
console.log("o.x = " + o.x + ", o.y = " + o.y)
#+end_src
Results
#+results: object_example
** Prototypes resolution
Some other slide
** Prototype-based objects
#+call: echo(object_example) :results code output :exports both
#+end_src
My problem with this was twofold: the code from "object_example" is
not repeated, and the highlighting of the results in the "#+call:"
line is not in javascript syntax.
Using a "noweb" approach solves both issues.

Not really: looking at the code, publishing does all its work in the current directory, then moves the final file to its place (leaving all the mess compilation made behind). I understand the reason for such a thing: publishing should only publish the final result. In other words, I see three places of interest: - where the org file is - where export and compilation occurs - where the final result is put Publishing lets us deal with the last one, but I don't think there is a way to distinguish between the first two. > Btw, please commit your changes to org-e-beamer.el when you have > validated your FSF papers.
