Hi all,
I am a graduate student in philosophy, and I am about to begin writing
my dissertation. I am wondering about whether I should write it in Org,
or stick to plain LaTeX.
This question has been asked before:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/22756
But that was two years ago; Org

Hi Chris,
Try this: in your .emacs, add the following code:
(defun prompt-for-lastname-and-upcase ()
(upcase (read-string "Last name: ")))
This defines a function that will prompt the user to type a last name
into the minibuffer, converts the result into uppercase, and returns it
as a string.

Try C-d. If that doesn't work, look at the help for delete-char (C-h f

Hi all,
Bastien had advised me [1] to use
(setq org-map-continue-from (outline-next-heading))
in a function called by org-map-entries in order to map that function
across just the /children/ of the current entry (i.e., to exclude the
current `parent' entry itself). This works great, but I have

Hi all,
I'm sure I'm just being thick here, but any help would be appreciated...
I want to call org-map-entries in a way that calls a function at each
*child* of the current tree, but not at the current tree itself. That
is, for some function f, if my Org file looks like this:

Dear Orgsters,
I'm hoping I can solicit a little advice about pulling email attachments
into Org (via Gnus), since some of the folks on this list seem to have
experience interacting with Gnus from Org. I realize that the meat of
my question may be better asked on the Gnus list, but if anyone here

Ah, I hadn't thought of that. Thanks!

This evening, I noticed that the footnote syntax breaks if you use LaTeX
commands with an optional argument inside a footnote, e.g.:
* Some headline
Blah blah blah blah[fn:: This enlightened message brought to you by
\cite[p. 100]{SomeBibKey}]
The internal square brackets in the \cite command cau

Great, thanks!

Dear Orgsters,
Is it possible to embed blockquotes inside list items, so that (e.g.)
they are indented beyond the enclosing list item in LaTeX exports?
So, for example, the following Org list:
* Some headline
- list item 1
#+BEGIN_QUOTE
A great thing was said!
#+END_QUOTE
- list

Hi all,
This patch fixes the issue I originally described here:
http://article.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/32281
It preserves math-mode delimiters (e.g. "$" and "\(") in the document
title when exporting to LaTeX. (That is, it prevents them from being
escaped, by running the title through org-

Dear Orgsters,
I am seeing differing behavior for how special symbols that appear in a
headline are exported to LaTeX, depending on whether I export an entire
Org document or just the current subtree.
I have, for example, a file that looks like this:
* Headline 1
** Headline 2, concerning $\alph
