You're welcome!  I hope people liked it.  One of the good things that
resulted from it was a short discussion, whose conclusion was an idea
to write a series of blog posts explaining one of the Org exporters in
detail.  (Since I know LaTeX fairly well, and I have studied most of the
LaTeX exporter source code, I decided to use it for that.)  The first
entry is almost ready, I'm going to work on the others soon.  (I'm not
yet sure whether it is a good idea to cover most of the code -- after
all, it is quite extensive -- but we'll just see.)

Is it a feature that I cannot open the babel window of a source block X in

[O] Preface, user's guide, cataloging key?

[Lawrence Bottorff]

I'm currently using :LOGBOOK: at the very top of my org file to make a sort
of daily pre-work tweet. That is, right under my top-level star-1 header.
I'd also like a key or metadata or user's guide up at the top, too. For
example, I have borrowed my Wordpress categories as my main header
sections, but they're rather cryptic [DirLog LostWorlds SciTech TechCiv],
so I'd like to have a small metadata place for explaining them at the top
as well. Sure, I could just list each category out at the second level, and
then have a :PROPERTIES: drawer right under each, but like I say, I'd like
some preliminary metadata about the whole page up at the top -- not unlike
a book with its cataloging metadata, preface, front matter, etc. Does
anyone have a nice, elegant, best practices way of doing this? I guess this
would work:

* ME
  - metadata stuff . . .
  - more stuff
+ nested more stuff

** DirLog

   . . .

but this seems awkward. Any suggestions? In general, I see tons of
technical explanation about org-mode, but its layout and best-practices
seem to still be rather anything goes, Wild West.

Yes, something like that.  What actually happens is, the
org-mode repository clone for worg publications is also used to create
the daily snapshots for download.  So once daily the repository
switches to the master branch and back.  When switching back to maint
there were autoloads created, but the remnants of the master branch not
cleaned.

I added a 'make cleanall' after checking out maint (just as there
already was for checking out the master branch).

When I'm more familiar with the different scripts, cronjobs etc. on the
org-mode server I'll think about using different org-mode clones.

I think you are doing one of two things wrong.  Either your
org-latex-classes is incorrectly setup, or you are simply exporting to
latex instead of beamer (C-c C-e l b).  E.g. I get the following as the
first frame:

  \begin{frame}[label={sec:orgheadline1}]{linear search}
   %% stuff
  \end{frame}

My org-latex-classes has an entry like this:

 ("beamer" "\\documentclass[presentation]{beamer}"
  ("\\section{%s}" . "\\section*{%s}")
  ("\\subsection{%s}" . "\\subsection*{%s}")
  ("\\subsubsection{%s}" . "\\subsubsection*{%s}"))

Does yours?

Re: [O] using dates as property?

[Samuel Wales]

i always put inactive timestamps in headlines, and sort both the
outline and agenda using them.  for example:

* CONVERSATION [2015-08-31 Mon 14:41] john
* CONVERSATION [2015-09-01 Tue 15:02] rms

or newest first.  they are visible and binary-searchable.
works perfectly for me.

Re: [O] using dates as property?

[Samuel Wales]

hi john,

documented for myself only:

(defun alpha-org-timestamp-score ( sg)
  "Return unix minutes as a floating point number.

;;;for 0..1
;;;Beware adding this to a much larger number (around 100); you will
;;;lose resolution.  Multiply first by a number with a lot of
;;;zeroes.  Then add to a number with a lot of zeroes.

Seems to be unix time as 1970 (or a few hours off, possibly
depending on time zone) epoch.

This is for sorting conversations, which have an inactive
timestamp near the beginning of a header, and for all tasks.

===

There is no way to get Org to return the first ts of any type.

/fixme/ request a timestamp-any property.  this gets you the
first timestamp no matter whether it is active and no matter
where it is.

This checks closed first.  So the bug is if there is a ts in the
headline, closed will take precedence if it exists.

Still, this approach works OK; think of the time as always being
the time of closing for a doneish, else first ts.  That is OK.

So not making the request now.

Re: [O] using dates as property?

[Samuel Wales]

and here is my get function, likewise documented only for me and
written a long time ago but works well for me:

(defun alpha-org-entry-get (property  sg inherit)
  "Return the value of PROPERTY, whether you are in the outline
or the agenda, by calling `org-entry-get'.

SG \(string given\) is the agenda header string to use \(provided
by user-defined agenda sorting\) or nil.  If it is nil and you
are in the outline, use the current headline directly.  If it is
nil and you are in the agenda, use the current headline by going
to the outline.

INHERIT is the inherit argument for `org-entry-get'.

There are a few questions about Org properties:

  1) What does it mean to get alltags without inheritance or tags
 with inheritance?  I guess org-entry-get was originally
 meant for properties, not tags, so you don't use inherit?
  2) How do you get the first timestamp in an entry?  There seems
 to be no way without specifying the type of timestamp.

According to the manual at the time of this writing, possible
properties include these.

 TODO The TODO keyword of the entry.
 TAGS The tags defined directly in the headline.
 ALLTAGS  All tags, including inherited ones.
 CATEGORY The category of an entry.
 PRIORITY The priority of the entry, a string with a single letter.
 DEADLINE The deadline time string, without the angular brackets.
 SCHEDULEDThe scheduling timestamp, without the angular brackets.
 CLOSED   When was this entry closed?
 TIMESTAMPThe first keyword-less timestamp in the entry.
   - this works even in the headline
 TIMESTAMP_IA The first inactive timestamp in the entry.
   - this works even in the headline
   - it does not seem to report CLOSED ts -- use CLOSED
 CLOCKSUM The sum of CLOCK intervals in the subtree.  org-clock-sum
  must be run first to compute the values.
 ITEM The content of the entry.

For anything else, you can use marker-buffer to get to the
outline and do manual parsing or use some other function.  Or
possibly modify org-entry-get to understand it and send a patch
to the org mailing list, along with an update of this docstring.

The idea is to use this as a single way to get most metadata no
matter where you are.

|   2.00 |   2.50 |   0.00 |   3.00 |   5.50 |3.23 |
|---++++++++++++++|

I would like to use gnuplot to show me a line graph of each student’s single 
grades in order to resemble their progress during the school year.
Can this be achieved with it?

It is not intended to be expanded when generating the table, but the table
should have the macro in it, so that it gets expanded when the table is
exported.

"Opening the babel window" is called remote editing. There is no editing

That is a possibility, but there's some work involved in "org-src.el".

OK. Then another problem:

  :ID: sched_table

ID properties are meant to be set with `org-id'. What about using
CUSTOM_ID instead?

When using CUSTOM_ID, I get the following message (and the table generation
fails):

condition-case: (error Cannot find entry with :ID: sched_table)

Is this not the case for you?  I have enabled org-collector via M-x
customize-variable  org-modules.

Thanks, that helps a lot!

I did not have an option to export to beamer. I wasn't aware that I had to
require ox-beamer explicitly.

Now I notice that the new exporter makes frame titles like this

\begin{frame}[label=sec-8]{proving \hoareTriple{V}\{\(\textmath{merge}\)\}\{P\}}

where the old one generated this

\begin{frame}
\frametitle{proving \hoareTriple{V}{\(\textmath{merge}\)}{P}}
\label{sec-8}

The new exporter escaped some { and } that should not be escaped.

Would you also have a hint to solve that?

Thanks,

Marko

Re: [O] Need help with HTML export custom postamble

So I finally was able to test out the C-c C-c.  It did ask me if I
wanted to apply and I said yes.  When I exported the file, my postamble
(as specified in the variable) was /not/ shown...it was still the default.

Strangely, when I did C-c C-c, Emacs came back with this:

Notice the *'*'* warning not to be safe.  But the source .org file is
with '#' as it should be (seen further below).

Thoughts?

Yes, Emacs asks about safe local variables.  I read about this once in
the Emacs manual and concluded that my use cases were all safe, so I
just type "y".  I suspect you're in the same boat, but you might want to
read the relevant section of the Emacs manual to be certain.

I just noticed that you're setting org-export-hml-postamble-format, but
you probably want html instead of hml.

I, too, typed 'y' with no luck; and yeah, my use cases are safe as well.

Sorry, that must have been a typo when transposing it into email (Emacs
didn't let me highlight to copy the text while the question was in the
buffer).   The actual .org file /is/ 'html'.

So by typing 'y', I'd expect to see "Hello World" in my
postamble...correct?  My seeing the default is still an error then.

Just to make sure all is understood, here is the entire .org file

Either typing C-c C-c, or just opening the file will ask me about the
variables.  I answer 'y', but still get the default postamble.

[O] [PATCH] org-mime: make plain/text mime export a choice

[Jon Miller]

Update to how org-mime constructs emails for the plain/text section of the
mime email. I've found that using the 'ascii exporter produces a saner
plain/text section than using the 'org exporter. Added a new custom variable
to control which exporter is used. and changed the default behavior to use
'ascii. Below is my git formatted patch.

Subject: [PATCH] org-mime: make plain/text mime export a choice

* org-mime (org-mime-htmlize, org-mime-compose): Introduce a new
  customize variable `org-mime-plain-text-export-format' to control how
  the plain/text portion of the mime formatted email is exported.
  Defaults to 'ascii over previous hard coded 'org choice.

The 'ascii export does a better job in formatting your email in the
plain/text portion of the mime encoded message than to org
format.  Making this configurable and changing the default to ascii.

[O] students, classes, assignments...

[scrawler]

Hey guys,

What's an efficient way to keep track of students, classes, and assignments?
I'm using org now, but I don't want to admit how badly I'm abusing it to make 
my *cough* system work.

How about something like this: a file per student with Classwork, Homework, and 
Assessment headings, maybe checkboxes to indicate completion; A date-tree in a 
file with the Homework and due dates--something along those lines.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I know a bunch of you are teachers...

Are you using an old Org mode, pre 8.0?  I believe that's when the old
org-export-* variables lost the "export" part.

At any rate, the problem appears to be that org-html-postamble-format
(in Org mode > 8.0) is an association list, not a string.

This works for me using a recent Org mode:

# Local Variables:
# org-html-postamble: t
# eval: (add-to-list 'org-html-postamble-format (quote ("en" "Hello World")))
# End:

At least, I get the cons cell added to the association list, and the
change is local to the buffer.  I didn't try the export part.

hth,
Tom

I attempted the export as well and it worked as expected.  I appreciate

FWIW, yes, I'm on the latest Org (8.3.1) and Emacs 24.4.1 (Debian Jessie).

[O] Exporting an org-file to multiple html pages

[Jarmo Hurri]

Greetings.

I am writing a relatively extensive document in org, and I am currently
trying to figure out how to split the exported html into multiple html
pages.

Is publishing along the lines of this tutorial still the best way to do
it?

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-publish-html-tutorial.html

In other words, do I need to split one org file into multiple org files
and then build the links between them manually? That is, is there no way
to automatically have top level "chapters" split into pages with links
between chapters?

Thanks!

Jarmo

Does this help?

https://github.com/mbork/org-one-to-many

Its purpose is to split an Org file into many pieces (either giving
a level, or marking the headlines to be split with a :split: tag),
modifying internal links so that they still point to the same places
(even though in different files).  Then you can export these files
individually to HTML.

I think splitting the Org file is a better idea than splitting the
produced HTML file: it seems both easier and maybe more versatile (you
are not restricted to HTML then).

Notice that if you have some configs (like #+OPTIONS etc.), it might be
a good idea to move them to a separate heading marked with :config: and
:noexport: tags.

The entry point is the =org-one-to-many= function.

It currently lacks proper documentation, but see its docstring for some
help.  Also, feel free to ask me.

Currently, the .el file lacks a proper header, too - I'll add it later
(maybe even today).

[O] using dates as property?

[John Kitchin]

Hi,

I am making a historical list of seminar speakers in an org-file. I am
trying to figure out the best way to store the dates so I can do
something later like find speakers from 2010, or to sort the speakers by
date etc...

Here is an example of my current thoughts. My questions are:

1. are org-timestamps the right approach?
2. are they better in the headline (where they are more easily read) or
as a property?
3. In either case, is there an easy way to search/sort them?

**  Some Person

Most of the standard stuff is quite extensively documented.  E.g. see
these:

- Manual: (info "(org) Beamer specific export settings")
  
http://orgmode.org/manual/Beamer-specific-export-settings.html#Beamer-specific-export-settings

Indeed.  That seems like a better implementation in any case.

In an ideal world it should also "ignore" comment-start in the sense that
I it should help me with lists after, e.g. ";;".  I wonder if any of
Thorsten's packages on this already solved this issue.

OK, so I'll experiment with an "old advice" around orgstruct.

BTW: We have 20 defadvice in lisp/.  That seems like enough reason (to me)
to bump Org 9 to 24.4.

[Rüdiger Sonderfeld]

* lisp/org-datetree.el (org-datetree--find-create): New function.
(org-datetree-find-year-create, org-datetree-find-month-create,
org-datetree-find-day-create): Removed functions
(org-datetree-find-date-create): Use `org-datetree--find-create' instead
of removed functions.  Use calendar extract functions.
(org-datetree-insert-line): Do more formatting in `format-time-string'
since we call it anyway
* testing/lisp/test-org-datetree.el (test-org-datetree/find-date-create):
  Test if new entries are put at the right place.

[O] can't assign to hline relative reference

[Luke Swart]

Hello,

There seems to be an error when using hline-relative references in an
org-mode table’s formula. For example, I have the following org-mode table:

#+BEGIN: columnview :hlines 1 :id global
| /Project/  | Mon | Tue | Wed |  Thu | Fri |  Sat | Sun | /Total/ |
|+-+-+-+--+-+--+-+-|
| AnotherProduct | | | |  | | 2.50 | | |
| Prototype  | | | | 3.50 | |  | | |
|+-+-+-+--+-+--+-+-|
| /Daily/| | | |  | |  | | |
#+TBLFM: @I$9..@II$9=vsum($2..$8);%.2f;::@II$2..@III$9='(format
"%3.2f" (apply '+ '(@I..@II)));N;

and I get the error can't assign to hline relative reference when I run M-x
org-table-recalculate. I looked over the org-mode references documentation
 and the gmane.org forums
, but I did not find
any reasons as to why the hline relative references could not be assigned.

This issue is related to the timesheet package on MELPA. I have filed an
issue here: https://github.com/tmarble/timesheet.el/issues/3 but hopefully
I have found the underlying problem, and hopefully it is reasonably fixable.

Here is some relevant info:

   -

   Org-mode version 8.3.1 (8.3.1-87-g4ef2c0-elpa @
   /home/luke/.emacs.d/elpa/org-20150824/)
   -

   emacs-version: 24.5.1
   -

   ArchLinux OS: Linux 4.1.6-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Mon Aug 17 08:52:28 CEST
   2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

This is a copy of my question posted here:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/15185/cant-assign-to-hline-relative-reference

Any suggestions or guidance would be appreciated. I am happy to clarify
anything as well.

Thanks,
Luke

[O] [PATCH 0/3] Add ISO week trees.

[Rüdiger Sonderfeld]

This series of patches adds support for ISO week trees to org-datetree
and org-capture.  Unlike regular date trees the tree is ordered by
week instead of month.

For example:

* 2015
** 2015-W35
*** 2015-08-30 Sunday
 Foo
 Bar
** 2015-W36
*** 2015-08-31 Monday
 Fou
*** 2015-09-01 Tuesday
 Baz

I find this more useful to order my work log than a month based tree.

Rüdiger Sonderfeld (3):
  org-datetree.el: Code cleanup.
  org-datetree.el: Add support for ISO week trees.
  org-capture.el: Add support for week trees.

Hit "k" while point is on your target date. It will start the capture
process, and any capture template that has a timestamp in it will get
the timestamp set to the date under point by default. Give it a shot!

Basically I ran the following five commands on the org-mode server:

cd ~emacs/git/org-mode
sudo -u emacs make clean
sudo -u emacs make

cd ~worg/worg.git/hooks/
sudo -u worg ./post-update


However, I saw the invalid function 41 again, so I still have to dig
deeper.  I know one script that causes this already.  Probably I can
tell more later, today.

Robert

Could you tell us what had to be fixed, so that we can lear as well?

[O] agenda buffer: bulk remote editing: whats the use for mark vs mark for bulk?

[Xebar Saram]

hi all
after reading the agenda buffer section in the manual i still cant make
sense of the bulk remote editing commands and specifically the mark vs mark
for bulk.
my use case is simple , i want to mark a bunch of entries like in dired and
execurte del/archive/change state etc

using `m` to mark i can see that the entries are marked but cant seem to
understand how to then delete/archive these marked file.
also what is M-m for if i can mark with `m`?

thx so much

Z

[O] in agenda buffer, can i add a note/todo when point is on a specific date?

[Xebar Saram]

A silly question :)

when im in the agenda view (buffer, ie C-c a a) i have the week by day. i
can move from day to day with up/down etc. can i somehow issue a "make
todo/note" command while point is on a specific day? this is to mimic the
classic calendars way of adding an appointment

hope this makes any sense :)

best

"m" adds a mark to the heading under point, "M-m" toggles the mark. So
multiple "m"s will always leave the heading marked, while multiple
"M-m"s will toggle back and forth between marked and unmarked. Hit "U"
to unmark all.

Then hit "B" to get a little dispatcher asking you what to do with the
marked headings.

HTH,
Eric
