Re: [O] Contacts/Resources/People
Sungmin sungsongs...@daum.net writes: I have been using orgmode for the last couple of months, guided by Sasha Chua's blog, and the material I have found on internet. Now I am started to be satisfied with my setup. But I there is one thing I would like to improve. I would like to have people as first class citizens. I want to easily add people to the appointment. I want to be able to add people to tasks easily. I want to track with whom I spend time with. i want to be able to add people to meeting logs, with professional titles easily, and other selected contact information easily I want to be able to mange the contact data centrally,so if I add a person to a task/appoinment I can easily get to his contact information. I want to easily look up what I have ongoing with a specific person before I meet him to remind me if there is anything I should bring up to him. Sacha speaks about BBDB but it does not not really seem to do what I want. Julien Danjou have made contacts.el, might to be a better fit. I'd still recommend taking a closer look at BBDB -- make sure you get version 3. Integration with Org is pretty good: you can add links to BBDB contacts, with completion. I'm knocking the last rough edges of a small package designed to bridge some of the air-gaps between Org, Gnus, and BBDB -- I'll have a usable version done Real Soon Now. Relevant to your use-case, it allows tagging BBDB contacts with Org-type tags, so you can 1) open an Org agenda from the tags of the displayed BBDB contacts; 2) do the inverse of that: pop up a BBDB buffer corresponding to the tags search of the Org agenda; or 3) pop up a BBDB buffer showing all the records linked to from the current heading. A little glue goes a long way... E
Re: [O] org-babel, lilypond, tables
Steven Arntson steven at stevenarntson.com writes: I'm wondering if someone could tell me if this idea is impossible. I'm trying to find a way to leverage org-tables in a document containing lilypond markup for a piano part such that both staves occupy the same line, visually (instead of the lefthand notes occupying the top of the doc and the righthand notes occupying the bottom). Right now I'm accomplishing this with a vertical split in the buffer, which works, but is clunky. I'm quite sure you'll have to write custom emacs-lisp for this. I'd suggest not using tables, though. It looks fine when you have only notes, but as soon as you need an override (and, in piano music, you *will*, sooner or later), the table will become very wide and you'll lose the advantage of seeing both columns at once. I'd probably use plain lists, one item per staff. You could even nest lists for passages of temporary polyphony: ** Bar 1 - ... right hand notes... - Poly - ... left hand voice 1 notes... - ... left hand voice 2 notes... It'll take some extra lisp code to parse all this, but it could work. I have a sneaky feeling, though, that more complex notation requirements may become inconvenient. hjh

Re: [O] Title of org files in github not recognized
Hi Waldemar, Thanks, I'm looking forward to see all these improvements also in github. Best wishes Julian On 02.05.2014 07:44, Waldemar Quevedo wrote: Hi, yes this issue would be fixed once Github upgrades the Ruby implementation of the parser. To upgrade the version it takes making a pull request to the github/markup repository so that they bump the version and do the release, but it takes some time before the upgrade is validated (security checks, etc...) There another couple of issues that I would like it that they make it to Github, so once having those tackled I'll see if I can ask one of the maintainers to help out planning for an update soon.

I know that this is a problem of the parsing on github's site, but is anyone aware of a good solution? That was supposed to be solved. See https://github.com/wallyqs/org-ruby/issues/3 Nice.

Re: [O] Redshank gets loaded when exporting ELisp code blocks to HTML!?
Hello Sacha and Nicolas, Answering after a (too) long time with very intermittent Internet access... Sacha Chua wrote: Sebastien Vauban writes: Why are Emacs Lisp minor modes loaded for exporting the Org document to HTML? If not necessary, this seems suboptimal (performance-wise). org-export-format-source-code-or-example loads the mode associated with the language in org-src-lang-modes in order to fontify the block. Only to fontify, not to indent, right? You could check if org-export-current-backend is nil before loading anything that you want to use only interactively. Maybe like so? (add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook (lambda () (unless org-export-current-backend (turn-on-redshank-mode This seems to be a solution (although I did not test it), but it seems as well impractical: I'd have to chase almost all minor modes of all languages...

[O] using Org-player with Org-drill
I posted the following at gmane.emacs.help but afterwards realized this might be the more appropriate forum. Please excuse the double post: Hi all. I'm relatively new to emacs, and I don't have a computer programming background. For purposes of learning a language, I want to use Org-player within an Org-drill session. I believe I have both of those programs working fine independently. But, the problem arises that when in an Org-drill session the user is unable to control the cursor, preventing me in this case from accessing the audio file I'd like to play and checking my pronunciation of the given word. Clicking on the link with the mouse, which of course wouldn't be ideal anyway, has no effect. Please let me know if anyone has an idea of how to make a change, presumably with Org-drill, to enable this type of use. Thanks, todd
