Sure. Here it is:

I don't really have the technical knowledge required to address the 
issue. The configuration option is the best option in my view. One 
option allows SVGs to be handled the old way and the other the new way. 
Perhaps something like this:


#+ATTR_HTML: :svg img

or

#+ATTR_HTML: :svg object

In my view, the default should be img, but I intend for my pages to be 
viewed by browsers which support SVG images. I direct my students to 
those browsers. Also, the W3C draft document states that support for SVG 
via the img tag is the desired solution.


I will experiment a bit to see if I can get the object tag solution 
working for me. But given the short amount of time I have to get my 
pages up (by Sunday), I will probably put the desired HTML code into the 
Org file directly until the issue is resolved.

Re: [O] Inline Images Export Bug

2015-08-26 Thread Pip Cet

I've used interactive SVGs with ox-html output quite a lot, and I found it
necessary to add the following horrible code; I'm not sure it's still
required:


let svgdoc = object.contentDocument;
let svgid = object.id;

if (!svgdoc) {
if (object.parentNode /* XXX why is this necessary */)
object.parentNode.innerHTML = ;
return;
}

let found = false;
for (let el of svgdoc.getElementsByTagName(svg)) {
let width = el.getAttribute(width);
let height = el.getAttribute(height);

let width_pt = width.match(/^([0-9]*)pt$/)[1];
let height_pt = height.match(/^([0-9]*)pt$/)[1];

let width_px = 5/4 * width_pt;
let height_px = 5/4 * height_pt;

object.setAttribute(width, width_px + px);
object.setAttribute(height, height_px + px);
found = true;
}


In my case, the SVG was produced by graphviz, so it always has the width
and height attributes.

This is a minor issue, but I also think the fallback message (Sorry, your
browser does not support SVG.) is really horrible and misleading. It's
very unlikely to be a browser issue today, and much more likely to be a
missing file or a user deliberately disabling SVG. In that case, software
shouldn't say it's sorry :-)

Cannot load SVG file. would be a better message, I think.

[O] Inline Images Export Bug

When did Org start using the object tag for inline image HTML export? 
This is a horrible bug.


I use many SVG images in my documents. Here is a sample bit of Org code:

#+ATTR_HTML: :width 50% :style display: block; margin-right: auto; 
margin-left: auto;

[[./graphic-1.svg]]

I used to get this when exporting:

img src=./graphic-1.svg alt=graphic-1.svg width=50% 
style=display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto; /


Now I get this:

object type=image/svg+xml data=./graphic-1.svg width=50% 
style=display: block; margin-right: auto; margin-left: auto;Sorry, 
your browser does not support SVG./object


The problems with the second bit of exported code is that it doesn't 
scale the image to fit the block with 50% width (only a small part of 
the image is visible), and you when you right click on the image, you 
can't view it, save it or anything.


The documentation for 8.3.1 says this about org-html-inline-images:

   Non-nil means inline images into exported HTML pages.  This is done
   using an img tag.  When nil, an anchor with href is used to link
   to the image.

Clearly, Org 8.3 is not using an img tag when exporting SVG images to 
HTML, something which is a major issue for me. It essentially makes Org 
unusable for HTML export. I really would appreciate a fix for this bug.

Re: [O] Inline Images Export Bug

2015-08-26 Thread Pip Cet

Okay, I just checked (sorry, had to regenerate the files and that took some
time), and with the current version of Firefox the code I pasted is
unnecessary.

The problem I had with previous Firefox versions is that those decided on a
scale for displaying the SVG that differed from its preferred resolution,
but only if an object tag was used for inclusion; img tags would use the
preferred resolution and everything was fine.

The reason for the pt-to-px arithmetic is that graphviz outputs (or used
to) SVGs with a preferred size specified in pt only, not in px. I'm not
sure, but I think HTML pt and SVG pt don't necessarily agree.

Org mode is generating this tag:

object type=image/svg+xml data=org/op-prec.svg 
Sorry, your browser does not support SVG./object

Which looks okay to me. It's browser support that's the issue.

 The problems with the second bit of exported code is that it doesn't
scale the image to fit the block with 50% width (only a small part of the
image is visible)

Is it possible you're using an old browser? I'm on Iceweasel (Firefox)
38.1.0. (The bug was there a year or two ago, so by my standards it's a
recent fix that we shouldn't rely on yet.)

 and you when you right click on the image, you can't view it, save it or
anything.

Again, I can, using the This Frame popup menu.

But clearly that menu name is misleading and confusing in this case! And I
think that is reason enough to stick with the img tag for now: Firefox
users can't save the image unless they telepathically know that frame
means image. This Object might be okay, I guess.

My suggestion is to use img for images; that also appears to be the
consensus on Stack Overflow. Let's find a good syntax for including
interactive objects in Org mode, though.

only work for items on the same day, and only if the DEADLINE is shown. Even if 
the DEADLINE isn't shown (farther in the future than the current agenda view), 
items should be skipped if DEADLINE exists. 

My current agenda is:

  (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
'(
  (c My Custom Agenda
   (
(agenda  (
   (org-agenda-overriding-header Events)
   (org-agenda-show-all-dates nil)
   (org-agenda-ndays 10)
   (org-agenda-skip-function '(org-agenda-skip-entry-if 
'nottodo '(EVENT)))
   ))
  

Can someone advise how to modify this to get the behavior described above?

Thanks,

  -k.

No, and I don't think that's sane.  It would be logical to expect
problems at export time (to LaTeX, among others) and in Org-lint.

I try to put all the tasks at the 2nd level, the 1st level being
reserved for big sections such as Administration, Tasks, Team,
etc.

I'm very rigorous about expecting that all my project management
documents can be exported (without loosing subtrees or generating error)
to HTML (as the very first goal) and to LaTeX (as the second one).

OTOH, I don't deny your wish to get things aligned; that's why I've
opted to 4-char todo states only!

[O] Literate programming in org

2015-08-26 Thread Max Linke


Hi

I'm currently trying to use org-modes literate programming capabilities 
to write up a paper. So far it has been a joy to have the plotting code

and text in the same document. Thanks for all the work people here have
already put in to make this so easy.

I have run into a two small problems so far

* How can I use computed variables (string/int/float) in floating text?

  I have for example calculated a autocorrelation time and now want to
  use that calculated number in the text. The best solution I have
  found so far is

  #+name: print_acf_time
  #+begin_src ipython :session :exports none
print(acf_time)
  #+end_src

  The autocorrelation time for the process is call_print_acf_time().
  That is OK-ish but I have to write a special code cell for every
  variable that I want to reference in my document. Is there another
  method to export variables to be easily accessible in org-mode?

* reruning specific cells only one time after emacs was started

  I have some cells that are long running and produce some variables
  I later use for plotting or calculating related values. To avoid
  recalculating I have added `cache: yes` to these cells. But they
  are only run once across restarts of emacs or my interpreter session
  in the background. When I start working again I would like to have a
  way to rerun all code-cells independent of the fact if they are cached
  or not. This would lead to a huge speed up in converting to latex for
  me.

I appreciate any help with this.

best Max

Re: [O] emacs org mode for scholars questions

Interesting. I could see some interesting extensions to it. I use
button-lock to alert me to interesting (to me) text in my buffers a lot,
which is a little less intrusive. For example, any names in my
org-contacts are highlighted in a light pink background with a context
tool tip and made clickable to access functions like open the contact,
email the contact, etc... This is done with a large regexp pattern
through font-lock, but it would be interesting do that with some kind of
asynchronously run function that doesn't get in my way. I have not used
functions in font lock yet, but I think it can be done.

When you say trawled, is this with some indexing tool, or something you
wrote?

The following message is a courtesy copy of an article
that has been posted to gmane.emacs.orgmode as well.

John Kitchin jkitc...@andrew.cmu.edu writes:

Let's see... the org-contacts vs BBDB issue isn't a big deal, since
Gnorb doesn't actually do all that much with contacts right now. I'd be
happy to add tweaks to it to make it more org-contacts friendly.

Email tracking is a bigger issue. Gnorb uses the Gnus registry to track
correspondences between messages and headlines, and obviously none of
that would work with mu4e.

Earlier versions did tracking by storing message ids as a property on a
headline. I suppose I could go back to doing that in a mu4e-specific
library.

Message id tracking is likely the way to do it in mu4e. mu4e links seem
to store this for links.

[[mu4e:msgid:bn3pr0301mb0851db3e4c53993daa1e8a98b2...@bn3pr0301mb0851.namprd03.prod.outlook.com]]

Yup, I think most of the MUA links end up looking something like that.
Message IDs are the one constant across MUAs and (most) mail sources, so
everything in Gnorb is keyed to that.

It is pretty easy to get these from a message. I use this variable in a
send callback function:

(setq *email-message-id*
(concat
mu4e:msgid:
;; borrowed from
https://github.com/girzel/gnorb/blob/master/gnorb-utils.el#L137
(replace-regexp-in-string
\\(\\`\\|\\'\\) (mail-fetch-field Message-ID

and then later use
(org-set-property Message-ID *email-message-id*)

and I get a clickable link in the property that will go back to the
message (after mu indexes again for freshly sent emails).

To me, the most useful thing about message tracking isn't the
identification and hinting of incoming emails. The two most useful
things (I think) are:

1. Taking a message and saying this message should trigger a state
change on that Org heading there
2. Seeing all messages associated with a heading in their own virtual
mailbox

Number one shouldn't be too difficult to implement for mu4e, as it would
mostly rely on Org's own mu4e support. Number two would be nearly
impossible, or at least impractical given my lack of familiarity with
mu4e.

I am still learning many things about emails. mu4e has pretty powerful
search capability via the underlying Xapian database.

Well, on second thought, maybe it wouldn't need to be that hard, then.
The Org heading would have its list of msg-ids, and if mu4e search has
an easy way of saying search for all messages whose IDs are in this
list, then that it would be quite easy. Much easier than in Gnus, I
have to say! If that search works across mail accounts and folders, then
Gnorb wouldn't even have to care about messages being moved between
folders, which is one of the main uses of the registry.
This seems to do what you describe. When I run it, I get an mu4e buffer
with those two messages in it. Basically you just create a mu query.

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(let ((ids '(871teq3c9p@ericabrahamsen.net
201508260407.t7q479ls026...@relay.andrew.cmu.edu) ))
(mu4e-headers-search
(mapconcat
(lambda (id)
(concat msgid: id))
ids
or )))
#+END_SRC

Another thing I find hugely useful is automatically transferring files
attached to incoming messages to Org headings (via org-attach).
Presumably mu4e has a way of getting at the attachments on a message, so
in theory this wouldn't be that hard, either.

This sounds pretty interesting. I have never gotten that into
attachments, but this might change my mind. There are functions in mu4e
to view and save attachments, so this might not be hard.

Much of my work involves throwing attachments around (or rather,
receiving attachments and sending back plain text whenever possible),
so this is pretty crucial for me. While org-attach is very sound, I
found its surface-layer interface a bit cumbersome, and this makes it a
lot easier to use.

Me too ;) I just have not progressed to org-attach yet. I usually have
to edit the attachments. How easy is it to reattach them to send back?

I am pretty interested in pursuing this, but am pretty busy for a while
so progress on my end will be slow ;(

Mine as well, ha!

BTW, mu4e still uses message mode for composition and sending, right?

yes.

Anyway, those are some thoughts on the issue. If you all had some
particular feature where you'd like mu4e support, let me know and I can
take a stab at it.

Re: [O] Literate programming in org

Hi Max,

This is one bit of literate programming I haven't mastered myself yet. I 
generally have code blocks and print results, and then manually re-enter them 
in the paragraph below. I would like what you are looking for. The best 
solution I have, which I don't use often, is to use sessions and inline code.

The autocorrelation time for the process is call_print_acf_time().
That is OK-ish but I have to write a special code cell for every
variable that I want to reference in my document. Is there another
method to export variables to be easily accessible in org-mode?

For example, to insert the number three I could do the following, if a = 1 and 
b = 2, defined previously in session foo: src_octave[:session foo]{a+b} 
{{{results(=3=)}}}

I've been thinking about other ways to achieve this... perhaps my code blocks 
update a table. That table might be included in the text for the reader. Then 
one code session reads it all in, so I have access to all results in one 
session and can use them in the text...

Use a filter that inserts \appendix when it sees a particular property

It would be nice to introduce a general property for arbitrary code just
before a headline.

[O] Code causes complete crash of emacs - sometimes

I had the following in my emacs.org and it caused under certain
conditions a complete crash from emacs:

delimiters)

The steps were:

1) create new header
2) create new el tab code block
3) mouse up
4) crash

This happened in the terminal and in the GUI, but only under certain
circumstances - reproducible on my system.

Is it just on my system?

I hope that by removing this my crashes are gone and emacs is as stable
as before.

So the appendix separator for LaTeX is in the section
*Acknowledgements* with the visual separator following.

This works, but is kind of strange, as #/appendix# is not actually part
of *Acknowledgements*.

Is there a better / more org way of doing this, or do I have to live
with this?

Thanks,

Rainer

I tend to do something like this:

#+begin_src org
  ,* (new page)   :ignoreheading:
  ,#+latex: \newpage
#+end_src

in conjunction with this export hook:

#+begin_src emacs-lisp
  (defun esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag (backend)
(message Deleting lines with ignore heading tag)
(while (search-forward-regexp ^\\*+.*[ 
\t]+[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*:ignoreheading:[a-ZA-Z0-9:]*$ (point-max) t)
  (cond
   ((eq backend 'latex) (replace-match #+latex: % \\ ))
   ((eq backend 'html) (replace-match #+html: !-- \\ -- ))
   (t (replace-match )
  (add-hook 'org-export-before-processing-hook 
'esf/remove-lines-with-ignore-heading-tag)
#+end_src

I use the ignoreheading kludge a lot for structuring documents that will be 
exported.

Obviously change newpage for appendix in the above example...

That is exactly what my code does, sometimes even with context-specific

 When you say trawled, is this with some indexing tool, or something you
 wrote?

 The remembrance-agent package in Debian includes the tools for trawling
 through text files and creating the databases (ra-index) the emacs tool
 requires (using ra-retrieve).

I see. one day I will think about doing something like this with the
swish-e index (or recoll, etc...) work I did this past summer. Document
similarity has been on my mind, beyond just keywords (which I am not
good at using consistently) for a few applications. Mostly similar
bibtex entries I already have, similar entries in an RSS feed, etc...


 I run the index operation using crontab weekly.  Weekly is sufficient
 for my needs as the content is not that dynamic and it is the old
 content that I need help remembering ;-)

Agreed!

[O] org-trigger-hook vs. org-after-todo-state-change-hook

2015-08-26 Thread Marcin Borkowski

Hi all,

org-trigger-hook vs. org-after-todo-state-change-hook:

which one to choose?  (I want to execute some code when an item is
marked as done.)  Why do both of them exist?

Best,

 Most important maybe: figure out how to merge narrative text in version

 Ages ago there was a GSoC project, Org merge driver, for use with git.
 I don't recall what was the last status.  Okay, found some info:

 http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/gsoc2012/student-projects/git-merge-tool/

 Would be good to somehow revive this.  I guess it's not an easy problem.
 If I remember correctly, there was no prior discussion on the list what
 should be the merge strategy.  It happened as the project progressed.  I
 think this is one of those projects where a clear path/plan how to
 proceed before writing any code would be very beneficial.

 Maybe someone can propose a plan?
It sounds like a great addition, and (unfortunately) a summer project ;)

 Org and the calendar make it fairly easy to enter time ranges, by

 task?

 I don't think so. However, in Org, scheduling a task to date A means
 it can start from date A. Scheduling a task to date A -- date B
 would be equivalent to scheduling it to date A.

 You probably want to do scheduled + deadline, which is supported.

No, scheduled + deadline is a different use case. The syntax I use, =SCHEDULED: 
2020-01-01--2020-01-07=, is valid, there just isn't an easy way to enter 
it. One (of many) use cases: a week long vacation. This use case is supported 
by Org since the Agenda helpfully shows (1/7), and (2/7), etc. before each 
entry. Everything else is so efficient and has shortcuts, including time 
ranges, I just hoped I was missing something here. Perhaps it hasn't been 
implemented yet.

  -k.

The trigger hook functions take a proplist argument which provides a lot
more information to the function than what is available to the
after-todo-state-change functions (which take no argument): the latter
can only know what the new state is going to be (through a global
variable); as a result, they can be much simpler than the trigger
functions, so if you don't need the extra info, after-todo is probably
the way to go.

Re: [O] Inline Images Export Bug

Okay, I just checked (sorry, had to regenerate the files and that took
some time), and with the current version of Firefox the code I pasted is
unnecessary.

The problem I had with previous Firefox versions is that those decided
on a scale for displaying the SVG that differed from its preferred
resolution, but only if an object tag was used for inclusion; img tags
would use the preferred resolution and everything was fine.

The reason for the pt-to-px arithmetic is that graphviz outputs (or used
to) SVGs with a preferred size specified in pt only, not in px. I'm not
sure, but I think HTML pt and SVG pt don't necessarily agree.

Org mode is generating this tag:

object type=image/svg+xml data=org/op-prec.svg 
Sorry, your browser does not support SVG./object

Which looks okay to me. It's browser support that's the issue.


The problems with the second bit of exported code is that it doesn'tscale the 
image to fit the block with 50% width (only a small part of

the image is visible)

Is it possible you're using an old browser? I'm on Iceweasel (Firefox)
38.1.0. (The bug was there a year or two ago, so by my standards it's a
recent fix that we shouldn't rely on yet.)


I'm using Firefox 40.0. I get the same behavior on Google Chrome 44.0 too.




and you when you right click on the image, youcan't view it, save it or 
anything.


Again, I can, using the This Frame popup menu.


Okay, that works.



But clearly that menu name is misleading and confusing in this case! And
I think that is reason enough to stick with the img tag for now: Firefox
users can't save the image unless they telepathically know that frame
means image. This Object might be okay, I guess.

My suggestion is to use img for images; that also appears to be the
consensus on Stack Overflow. Let's find a good syntax for including
interactive objects in Org mode, though.


This sounds reasonable.

So are you saying that Org is changing the size from px to pt?  Can you
try to explain the problem you observe in words?
