Bug: org-table-wrap-region incorrectly places the wrapped region [9.4 (9.4-elpaplus @ /home/marko/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200914/)]
Emacs : GNU Emacs 27.1 (build 1, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.24.22, cairo version 1.17.3) of 2020-08-28 Package: Org mode version 9.4 (9.4-elpaplus @ /home/marko/.emacs.d/elpa/org-plus-contrib-20200914/) I'm using multi-line fields in org tables. When I wrap such a field there are unexpected results: Marking the region from the 'I' of "Includes" to the space just left of the right bottom column border and calling org-table-wrap-region | Includes all aspects of| | information about | | proposed project. | wraps correctly to | Includes all aspects | | of information about | | proposed project.| But when I mark the same region in this table || | Includes all aspects of| | information about | | proposed project. | it results in an error message "Not in table data field". Initially I observed such unexpected behaviors with more complex situations where the field was in a column further to the right. But it seems it's the same problem.

A requires/provides approach to linking source code blocks
Dear All, AFAIU in the current support for literate programming I can establish sequence between blocks by either tangling the entire file whereby the blocks are written to the source code file in the sequence in which they appear in the org-mode file or I can name the blocks and use noweb linking to explicitly state the precise sequence in which the blocks appear in the source code file. I would find it useful to have a more declarative way for specifying sequence. I imagine e.g. using "#+REQUIRES:" and "#+PROVIDES:" to capture dependency and then have the exporter compute a sequence satisfying these. I would think that this makes the maintenance of the dependencies more convenient. I'd be interested in feedback on the idea. Please include my email address in the reply as I am not subscribed to the list. Best regards, Marko signature.asc Description: PGP signature
A dream?
Dear All, I teach some software engineering courses and in each of them students work on semester-long projects in teams. So far, have let them choose their own tools for all the tasks (implementation language, documentation tools, etc.). Personally, I have been using org-mode for what feels like forever. I was thinking that it would be nice to have students use org-mode also for their project. I can see it provide so many features that would benefit the projects: easy links for e.g. traceability, tagging of requirements for categorizing, responsible developer,..., of course todo lists, priorities, progress tracking, rendering to web page, PDF,... Since these are students from a very technical background I would hope they would be open to this. Anyway, does anyone have any experience related to this, maybe not specifically related to teaching, but software engineering projects (with documentation of domain, requirements, project approach, progress, references, source code, testing, design, etc. etc. etc.)?
