Hi all Real life took precedence for a while and also I realized that making the step towards org mode would be a rather more substantial leap than I had anticipated. Given how dissatisfied I had become with the more traditional solutions to the problem one would expect a shift in paradigms

Just tried a similar thing on my computer at work: WinXP, emacs-22.3.1, org-mode 7.7. I tried both R and python. With this in my .emacs file: ;; active Babel languages (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((R . t) (python . t) )) Here are the contents of the org file

Hi Christoph For my scientific work (I'm an Indologist) I use orgmode in three ways: 1. _Project planning and calendar management_ That's just the normal thing. I use the GTD approach, extended by some specialties like the tags :BIGROCK: (most important project to work on this week)

Thanks everyone for the advice and ideas. I see lots of potential, and also lots to learn. I made my first attempt at an R code block in an Org file. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Synaptic tells me that I have emacs 23.1+1-4ubuntu7.2, and Org 6.34c-1. I added this to my .emacs: ;; active

Hi Christopher, to add my 2c: I'm using org-mode to track our participation in a mid-sized project (9 Partners, ~30 People, 3 Years). I'm not coordinating, in which case I'd probably look for more project management centric tools, and thus found org-mode to be very useful. I use it to track

Ah, now I'm beginning to understand: I can export a *part* of an org-mode file; I'm not limited to exporting the whole thing. Cool! I also use bibtex/biblatex a lot. I've started to read that these tools work with Org-mode also. Can anyone speak to that from experience? Thanks. --Chris On Mon,

Aloha Chris, There is a tutorial of sorts on LaTeX export. It includes information on how to use bibtex with Org mode. http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-latex-export.html#sec-17 Eric Schulte has written some elisp helpers for managing bibliographies in Org mode. I believe this is in
