Re: [O] [RFC] Org syntax (draft)
Hi Nicolas, great work! It's fantastic that orgmode now gets a specification. What may help is to document the syntax machine readable and somewhat more formal. This ensures that there are less differences in interpretation and that the specification can be used to generate an orgmode parser directly. An example could be how the ietf specifies things, have a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABNF or EBNF. It's not much difference from what you have done, but it's more unambigous. Thanks for the great work!
[O] problems with org and pabbrev
Hi, somehow pabbrev mode doesn't work anymore with org, since I use org from elpa. after loading org, pabbrev is a minor mode, as indicated in the modeline. However runs the command org-cycle instead of pabbrev-expand-maybe. So I wrote the following functions: (defun org-cycle-or-pabbrev-expand () "use org-cycle in headline, otherwise use pabbrev-expand-maybe" (interactive) (if (looking-at org-outline-regexp) (org-cycle) (pabbrev-expand-maybe 'nil))) (add-hook 'org-mode-hook '(lambda () (define-key org-mode-map [tab] 'org-cycle-or-pabbrev-expand) )) This gives an error: Debugger entered--Lisp error: (wrong-type-argument number-or-marker-p nil) =(nil 4) (cond ((= uarg 4) (if (> (length pabbrev-expansion-suggestions) 1) (pabbrev-suggestions-goto-buffer pabbrev-expansion-suggestions) (pabbrev-call-previous-tab-binding))) ((eq last-command (quote pabbrev-expand-maybe)) (if (and (> (length pabbrev-expansion-suggestions) 1) (> (length pabbrev-last-expansion-suggestions) 1)) (pabbrev-suggestions-goto-buffer pabbrev-last-expansion-suggestions) (pabbrev-call-previous-tab-binding))) (pabbrev-expansion (progn (setq pabbrev-last-expansion-suggestions pabbrev-expansion-suggestions) (pabbrev-expand))) (t (pabbrev-call-previous-tab-binding))) pabbrev-expand-maybe-full(nil) (if pabbrev-minimal-expansion-p (pabbrev-expand-maybe-minimal uarg) (pabbrev-expand-maybe-full uarg)) pabbrev-expand-maybe(nil) (if (looking-at org-outline-regexp) (org-cycle) (pabbrev-expand-maybe (quote nil))) org-cycle-or-pabbrev-expand() call-interactively(org-cycle-or-pabbrev-expand nil nil) command-execute(org-cycle-or-pabbrev-expand) I've no idea how to preceed further, any help appreciated.

Re: [O] problems with org and pabbrev
Thanks very much. The following line did the trick: (define-key pabbrev-mode-map [tab] 'pabbrev-expand-maybe) I set this after loading orgmode. It seems pabbrev uses \tab and not [tab]. or orgmode somehow overrides it, and it has to be set explicitly.

[Orgmode] [PATCH] Stable key assignment for org-fast-tag-selection
I noticed that the code to "automatically assign a character" in the org-fast-tag-selection function assigns a different character depending on whether or not the tag exists in the current heading. To see the problem, do the following steps: - Eval (setq org-use-fast-tag-selection t) - Eval (setq org-fast-tag-selection-single-key "expert") - Create a heading with tags :a1:a2: - Create another heading with tags :a1:a2: - Type "C-c a", "C-c a", "C-c a", "C-c a" - Notice how it changes from a1 to a2 Below is a patch to make the character assignment stable, given that all of the same tags exist in the file each time it's run. (The tabs messed up the indentation in the git-diff output.)

[Orgmode] The patch (org-exp-blocks), the question and the bug
Hello, I have created (in fact, I have copied and pasted with slights modifications) a function to use asymptote's code (http://asymptote.sourceforge.net) with the help of org-exp-blocks. Unfortunately, I am clueless about how to make a patch with git. So, with all my apologies, I will put it here as it might be useful to someone. (defun org-export-blocks-format-asy (body &rest headers) "Pass block BODY to the asy utility creating an image. Specify the path at which the image should be saved as the first element of headers, any additional elements of headers will be passed to the asy utility as command line arguments. The default output format is pdf, but you can specify any format supported by Imagemagick convert program with '-f outformat'." (message "asy-formatting...") (let ((out-file (if headers (car headers))) (args (if (cdr headers) (mapconcat 'identity (cdr headers) " "))) (data-file (make-temp-file "org-asy"))) (setq body (if (string-match "^\\([^:\\|:[^ ]\\)" body) body (mapconcat (lambda (x) (substring x (if (> (length x) 1) 2 1))) (org-split-string body "\n") "\n"))) (cond ((or htmlp latexp) (with-temp-file data-file (insert body)) (message (concat "asy -globalwrite -f pdf -o " out-file " " args " " data-file)) (shell-command (concat "asy -globalwrite -f pdf -o " out-file " " args " " data-file)) (format "\n[[file:%s]]\n" out-file)) (t (concat "\n#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE\n" body (if (string-match "\n$" body) "" "\n") "#+END_EXAMPLE\n") Don't forget to change accordingly org-export-blocks. But that leads me to a question. I use (setq org-export-latex-image-default-option "") in my .emacs. But, as it might not be convenient for everyone, I would like to disable locally that option in the asymptote's block. In fact, the code should take precedence above export options : if I put 'size(5cm,0);' in my block, I don't want no variable messing with that. Is there a way to do that ? Last, but not least, I have something looking like a bug to report. Sometimes, when I hit C-k in agenda view, it kills me 2 lines instead of the one I am currently on. I can tell that kill-whole-line has nothing to do with that. It scares me so much that I have to TAB first while in agenda view in order to kill the item I want to make disappear. I use 6.26d but I could swear this bug has been on for ages (maybe 4.xx, certainly 5.xx).

[Orgmode] C-k makes entries disappear in agenda view
Hello, As I was saying in anoter post, it looks like there's something weird happening when using C-k in agenda view: 1. Create two new remember entries (i.e. test and test2) with the same tag (I used @office) 2. Narrow down the agenda view to only see the @office entries. 3. Kill the last but one entry (it should be "test") : both of "test" and "test2" disappear frow the view. Actually, "test2" is not properly killed, but it is scary nonetheless. It only happens with two last entries. Is anyone able to reproduce this ? -- Nicolas Goaziou _______ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Q: placement of initialization for org-time-stamp-formats
Hi,
1. Org-Mode rocks!!
2. I need to have, besides hours and minutes, also seconds and time
zone in timestamps. I also need to be able to edit the timestamps down
to seconds. If I set ( inside .spacemacs in (custom-set-variables) ) :
'(org-display-custom-times t)
'(org-time-stamp-custom-formats (quote ("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a
%H:%M:%S %Z>")))
then I get non-editable timestamps. But if I don't set these, and I
only manually set org-time-stamp-formats after I open an org-mode file,
I get exactly what I need => editable timestamps with seconds and timezone
Question: Into which initialization file (and which location in that
file) do I place the assignment for org-time-stamp-formats so I don't
have to manually set the following every time after emacs startup?
(setq org-time-stamp-formats '("<%Y-%m-%d %a>" . "<%Y-%m-%d %a %H:%M:%S
%Z>"))
Thanks!

documentation feature: typical .org files as starting points along with screencasts
Hello, First of all, orgmode rocks! I am trying to work with with orgmode for a few months now, and I feel like I am still only scratching the surface. I've read the manual, and the online docs, yet fully functional access to some features eludes me still. I would find it tremendously useful if, perhaps as a part of the documentation, there were several sample .org files, at various levels of complexity (features used) _along_ _with_ a quick and simple screen cast of its features being used in a real-life scenario. ( I find it most useful for such screen casts to display key presses as they occur ... is there a "plugin" which would 1) show the keys being pressed and 2) also show the resulting functions being invoked by those keystrokes? ). Repeatedly I've spent more than an hour trying to figure out what happened when I haven't noticed that by mistake that I've pressed some weird key combo which has placed my orgmode/emacs session in an incomprehensible state - e.g. narrowing a buffer. Had I known which keys I had pressed by mistake, or at least the functions that they involved, I could have looked up the manual to see how to "undo" such mess. But when you don't know that your state is being called "narrowing buffer", you have no clue what just happened and that you should find out how to "widen" it again. ( That is very, VERY frustrating for an emacs/orgmode newbie. Someone please advise how to turn on a log of keystrokes and functions being invoked by those keystrokes. ... Consider having this on as default for newbies. ) It seems to me that to get people started without unnecessary frustrations, we might want to put into the docs something like: To include feature : timestamp-based unique IDs : Configure emacs thusly : insertion> and then see how this works ; ... same for features like HTML export, literal programming, custom timestamp (perhaps with down-to-seconds resolution) custom, etc I believe if I saw in a few screen casts how the orgmode "professionals" use orgmode, and had access to their sample orgmode files which I could follow along and literally identically modify during the screencast, I would be much father (and perhaps even happier) with the use of orgmode. I think the most crucial point for newbies is being able to literally follow the screencast along, perfectly replicating the screen cast results in their emacs / evil / spacemacs setup. If people would want to send me URLs for their sample .org files for which they also have a demo screen cast on how to use their features, I would like to pull these together and create a section for the docs with these. Guys! You are a wonderful bunch and you are perfecting an amazing software! ... Let the world get more of a taste of your amazing work. Thanks so much for orgmode! John

It's a robot that just hammers and hammers at the keyboard. The only logical conclusion is that our Bastien has been abducted by aliens. Aliens! Beware! ... We will be looking for Bastien. Give us back our Bastien, or you will have a war on your hands! Until we find him, we'll enjoy all that this robot has got going ... - 23 -
Re: Shower thought: submit an IETF RFC to register Org as a MIME type
I do not have much insight into all the possible outcomes (i.e. I am clueless about such outcomes) except one outcome - orgmode MIME type gets registered. I think it would serve well the proliferation and popularization of org-mode. I.e. I do not see any negatives, only positives. After successful registration, I don't think anyone would really complain that their "Lotus Organiser" or organ audio samples do not get processed as usual. AFAIC, push this.

advanced search for patterns
hello, I have been using orgmode for a while , and noticed that I can
find headings based on tags, but I haven't figured out whether there is
a way to say in emacs org-mode :
find me all the (lowest-level) headings [ or heading-paths ] that
contains text (whether formatted as source code blocks or whatever) that
matches, say three, (regexp) patterns, e.g. :
(M|m)artha
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?))
(pay|paid|USD)
How would one ask org-mode to find all such headings (in all opened
org-mode buffers , preferably :) )
I guess one could try to connect the three regexps with something like
a negative-lookahead "does not contain '\n\*'" string, like
(M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0} ((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) (:!\n\*){0}
(pay|paid|USD) | \
(pay|paid|USD) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) | \
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
(pay|paid|USD) | \
(pay|paid|USD) (:!\n\*){0} (M|m)artha (:!\n\*){0}
((buy|bought)[^\n]*milk(s?)) | \
...
but that's just ugly. And would it work at all? Would it not be so
slow to make it impractical?
Or is there a way to say "search all headings for pattern1" in all
files, then filter the results by pattern2, then filter the results by
pattern3 ?? How? Someone surely must have done this before ...
thx!!

[O] Inject value of macro into code using a variable
Is it possible to inject the value of a macro into code using a variable?
I set a macro called ‘version’ with a version number at the top of my .org
file. I would like to do something like this:
#+macro:version Version 0.2.5
#+name:code-name
#+begin_src js :tangle some-file.js :var ver={{{version}}} :exports both
:results output
const version = ver;
#+end_src
When this code is evaluated during export, there is an error:
org-babel-ref-resolve: Reference ‘{{{version}}}’ not found in this buffer

[O] Bug: `#+OPTIONS: <:nil' has no effect when exporting to LaTeX [9.1.9 (release_9.1.9-65-g5e4542 @ /usr/share/emacs/26.2/lisp/org/)]
When I export to LaTeX, the created LaTeX file contains \date{\today}.
However, I don't want it to show the date. Using #+OPTIONS: date:nil
the LaTeX result will contain \date{} instead, which indeed hides the
date, but now there's empty space in place of the date when compiled to
a PDF document, which is undesirable. As per the manual the argument <
to the OPTIONS keyword is supposed to "[t]oggle inclusion of time/date
active/inactive stamps (org-export-with-timestamps)". Putting
#+OPTIONS: <:nil, however, has no effect at all; \date{\today} will
still end up in the LaTeX export.
Do I misunderstand the meaning of the argument
[O] bug: org-table-convert-region-max-lines causes a "Code block produced nop output"
In an org file I have a source code block to convert entries into and generate a recutils file #+begin_src sh?? :file SomeFile.rec cat << EOF # -*- mode: rec -*- Begin recutils file Approximately 770 records in recutils format each with about 20 entries; over 17,000 lines including line feeds or carriage returns #+end_src The following error is produced: Starting new Ispell process /usr/bin/aspell with en_US dictionary... executing Sh code block... Wrote /tmp/babel-k8j93s/ob-input-LL2cYo Error reading results: (user-error Region is longer than ???org-table-convert-region-max-lines??? (999) lines; not converting) Code block produced no output. I admit that I have not evaluated this code block since last October.At that time the SomeFile.rec file was produced, as expected. However, the size of the entries has not changed and now the above error results. I modified my init.el file to include (setq org-table-convert-region-max-lines 2) closed emacs, etc. (load-file init.el did not change the default 999 to 2) When I C-c C-c'ed the code block again the process hung. I confirmed that org-table-convert-region-max-lines was set to 2. Is org-table-convert-region-max-lines?? supposed to be invoked and if so what should I modify?

You may want to add ":results file" to the header of the source block. Regards, Thank you, Nicolas. That solved it. Now a "just curious," comment and question: I had a few files that used the ECM source code block, just many more entries in each. The last time that I evaluated any of them was last October and it produced the results I expected, i.e. I did not specify ":results file" So, up until October was I just lucky or did something change in Org that affected the sh language?

[O] add names to org-babel-header-arg-names
Hi, To avoid errors while running org-lint in an org file with many recutils source blocks I have added the following to my init.el file (setq recutils-babel-header-arg-names '(data type fields join sort groupby)) ;; cmdline already included in org-babel-header-arg-names so not part of above list (setq org-babel-header-arg-names (concatenate 'list org-babel-header-arg-names recutils-babel-header-arg-names)) It appears that there are no problems, Never the less, Is there a "better" way? For that matter, is there a safer way? Charlie Millar
