Re: [Orgmode] searchable refcard?

It might be useful to include org.html and refcard.txt because some people don't have tex and would find it difficult to install, and those two formats are accessible without special software. But this is a small thing. ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list

Carsten, thanks for the hint! Maybe I'll try to learn a little more elisp between the years :-) I tried it the stupid way, just to see it working: (defun org-context-help () Context help for org-mode (interactive) (if (org-at-table-p) (info (org)tables) (if

That all is a great help. I like both ideas, but at the present it is much easier for me to go through orgcard.tex and study the info docs. I think I have some mistakes in this, but it's been an interesting study to carefully comb through one or two headlines' worth (Agenda and clocking) and add

Hi Alan, I have been thinking about this some more. As Nat has pointed out, the problem with the pdf can be fixed by using pdftex to produce it, and maybe I should improve my standard procedure to do just that. OK, about a separate, new, searchable reference written in Org-mode. First of all,

Sebastian, Thanks for the link to the refcard source. The s p a c e s problem only arose when I used the tex--dvi--ps--pdf route in landscape geometry; portrait geometry didn't have this problem, but of course the text didn't fit the paper size, either. pdftex worked just fine, after I added

I hope I don't make a nuisance of myself by responding to this. I posted at some earlier date about my idea of making an org-help file help.org that I can call up with a keystroke. This is an extension of the texinfo concept, perhaps, or a subset of it. I think this would best be done in

Hi Nathaniel, I don't know what causes this trouble, but I faced this sometimes with LaTeX generated PDFs. Might be an encoding problem or what ever. The LaTeX sources are available at repo.or.cz, as is the entire Org-mode package:

Hi Alan, the refcard is done by hand, a lot of fiddling goes into fitting all this info on two pages. And don't want to keep two versions. That said, my refcard is incomplete due to space constraints, and it may be worth to do a better one, searchable, in Org. Maybe you would like to

I think I can do this. Before I make a decision, it seems terribly important to understand what is a searchable refcard. I answered the original post in part because the term was unclear to me. A refcard is something I print out on a sheet and reference as needed. You are referring then to a
