Re: [O] Gather properties for use by babel source block?
I have not used it myself, but isn't org-collector exactly what you want [1]. "org-collector collects headline properties into tables with optional pre-processing" Once you have a table, you can easily pass it to code blocks for further processing with org-babel.

Re: [O] preview latex fragments
Do you add the tikz package to the org-export-latex-default-packages-alist variable?

Re: [O] org-capture target files
I also use refile for this. I have a refile.org file where new stuff goes. If I want to refile the note/task now, instead of later, I use "C-u C-u C-c c" and Org goes to the last captured note/task from where I can easily refile it. -- Darlan Em 15/09/2012 18:55, "Charles Philip Chan" escreveu: > Kalev Takkis writes: > > Hi Kalev: > > > Is it possible to take a note in org-capture and to specify one or > > several files to put the message into only after the note is written? > > The workflow I have in mind is first pressing C-c c to take a note; > > selecting the type of note I'd like to take; typing the message, > > pasting a link etc., finishing the note, with C-c C-c and then ending > > up in a list of available *.org files (which could already be on > > display in a window next to capture window) from which I can select > > the file(s) where to send the note to. > > No, however, you can instead of finalizing with "C-c C-c", use refile > "C-c C-w" and set "org-refile-use-outline-path" to "file". > > Cheers, > Charles > > -- > "Absolutely nothing should be concluded from these figures except that > no conclusion can be drawn from them." > (By Joseph L.

[O] Bug in the Org-mode version that comes with Emacs
Hi, I track the emacs repo (http://git.savannah.gnu.org/r/emacs.git) and from time to time I update my local version and starting using the new version. A few days ago I notice that my org files started opening with all trees fully expanded instead of collapsed and, worse, fill-paragraph didn't function correctly. On using fill paragraph a child list item or even headlines would be joined with the parent item thus breaking the org-mode file structure. If I call the org-fill-paragraph directly it works as intended, but previously I could just call fill-paragraph and it would work correctly. I'm still learning how to use git, but in my first time trying "git bisect" I have found that the most recent commit that works correctly is 320eb6b0f4315929d70d7a1e9f05f8d3cc0f4009, while the bug seem to be introduced in 0ce71d38bf295205067fd334e1993906f7fb0ba7. This bug was probably introduced not in org-mode, but by some change in Emacs. Nevertheless, if I use the most up to date version of Emacs I only see the problems I described in org-mode files. If anyone else seeing these problems? Notice that I tested if the bug exists in a given version starting emacs with the "-Q" option. Kind regards, Darlan

You can also use http://ditaa.sourceforge.net/ with org-mode. 2016-04-22 6:41 GMT-03:00 Luis : > Dear Charles, > > thanks, "EXAMPLE" seems to be the "closest" answer here. > except it ignores all the "TAB"s, so I have to change them to "whitespace". > > anyway, it solves my problem . > > On Thu, Apr 21, 2016 at 11:52 PM, Charles C.

Re: [O] Using org-mode as a personal help desk tool
Another option can be using a webservice such as trello and an emacs package to access data on it. There is an org-trello package that is worth investigating. 2016-06-22 9:26 GMT-03:00 Roland Everaert : > org-attach was the feature I needed. > > Thank you. > > On Mon, Jun 20, 2016 at 4:10 PM, Eric Abrahamsen > wrote: > >> Roland Everaert writes: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > I am working as a sysadmin, In the organization, we use 2 tools to >> > keep track of requests sent by the customers/users.

Re: [O] markup text with leading, trailing spaces
Even if you want to run commands in a different computer you can do that with "C-c C-c" thanks to the ":dir folder" header argument and tramp. As an example, suppose I have the code block below #+begin_src sh hostname #+end_src If I run it I get something like #+RESULTS: : my_computer_name However, if if I can ssh to a server called "myserver" I can change the code block to #+begin_src sh :dir /myserver:~/ hostname #+end_src Now if I run the code block the code is executed in myserver and I get #+RESULTS: : myserver_host_name Combine this with "C-c C-v b" (org-babel-execute-buffer) and you can easily run many different commands in different machines. It is really great. Em Sat Feb 14 2015 at 01:09:02, hymie! escreveu: In our last episode, the evil Dr. Lacto had captured our hero, > jorge.alfaro-muri...@yale.edu (Jorge A.
