If I remember correctly, you can export to word, which should give you the
text and possibly pictures (?). Haven't tried it,  though.

Re: [O] org-link-set-parameters missing in ELPA version

[Richard Kim]

 
I added the following elisp code at the start of my ~/.emacs to deal
with this problem. My analysis of the problem is described in the
comments. In short the root cause seems to be loading built-in org.el
during initialization rather than org.el from either org-plus-contrib or
org add-on packages.  Symbols such as org-link-set-parameters are not
defined in built-in org.el of emacs 25. They are defined only in newer
versions of org package.

I use my own build of the following which is re-built once a week or two:
- emacs 25 from 'emacs-25' git branch
- org and org-plus-contribute packages from git source files
- spacemacs from 'develop' git branch

If I have erred in my analysis of the root cause, please let me know.
What I know is that before I started using the code below, I would get
emacs startup error every time after I removed all installed packages.
With this code, I no longer see any failure.


;; Bootstrap `org-plus-contrib' and/or `org' packages


;; The purpose of this section is to make sure that org-mode package(s) are
;; installed and setup early on so as to prevent built-in org-mode files from
;; getting loaded. The built-in org-mode commands are autoloaded so that none
;; of the built-in org files are actually loaded when emacs starts up. However
;; it is easy to get one or more org files to get loaded directly or indirectly
;; by using one or more org mode functions. Once that happens, then it is
;; nearly impossible to fix this. For example if built-in org.el gets loaded,
;; then subsequent (require 'org) will not reload org.el even if an org package
;; was installed which provided newer org.el! A workaround is to make sure that
;; the org package(s) are not only installed, but also activated (i.e.,
;; `load-path' setup) so that the first time (require 'org) is done, it will
;; cause the newer org.el to be loaded rather than the built in one.


;; Where to find packages to install from. If spacemacs is loaded, then it is
;; important that `package-archives' value here is the same as the one embedded
;; in spacemacs. Otherwise strange errors may pop up.
(if (file-directory-p "/u/me/public_html/elpa/elpa/")
(custom-set-variables
 `(package-archives
   `(("my-elpa" . ,(expand-file-name "/u/me/public_html/elpa/elpa/"))

  (custom-set-variables
   `(package-archives
 `(("melpa" . "https://melpa.org/packages/;)
   ("orgmode" . "http://orgmode.org/elpa/;
  )

;; Where to install packages to.  Spacemacs honors this as of about Aug 2016.
(setq package-user-dir "/u/me/opt/elpa25/")

;; Do not activate all installed packages at the end of startup processing.
;; I activate packages as needed.
(setq package-enable-at-startup nil)

;; We must initialize packages before we can call `package-installed-p'.
;; However just do minimal setup (via 'no-activate optional argument), i.e., do
;; not activate any packages. Without `no-activate', all installed packages are
;; activated.
(unless (bound-and-true-p package--initialized)
  (package-initialize 'no-activate)
  (package-refresh-contents)

;; I use `use-package' to install and setup all packages except `use-pacakge'
;; itself. You can't use it if it is not already installed and activated. So
;; make sure that it is installed and setup using only built-in package.el
;; functions.
(if (package-installed-p 'use-package)
(package-activate 'use-package) ; just activate if already installed
  (package-install 'use-package))

;; We *must* install `org-plus-contrib' or `org' package very early on so that
;; these shadow the built-in org-mode files. If this is not done early, and one
;; or more of the built-in org-mode files are loaded during emacs startup, then
;; failures may arise later on while installing `org-plus-contrib' or `org'
;; packages. Typical errors in such case are "void-function
;; org-link-set-parameters" or "void-function org-link-types". Such errors
;; started popping up with spacemacs around August 2016 when emacs is started
;; after removing all installed packages which forced installation of all
;; needed packages.
;;
;; The need to install this early on is the reason for all the setup done so 
far.

[O] convert MS power point to org mode?

[Xebar Saram]

hi all

anyone have any experience with converting M$ power point to org mode?

i have a bunch of courses i teach with presentations in ppt from a few
years ago and since i now use org-reveal would love to have a quick(ish)
way to convert them to org

best

[O] using rgrep, ag, etc in folded org files?

[joakim]

Hello,

I would like to use ag search, or rgrep etc, to jump to matches in my
org files, and have the matched lines tree be unfolded.

- isearch works in a folded orgfile
- jumping with occur in a folded file works
- rgrep, ag, etc doesnt unfold the tree where the match is


I found this 6 year old thread discussing the same issue:
"org-mode, grep and folding issue".

The thread described some workarounds which used agenda search or
something like that. I would rather like to use helm-projectile though.

Is it possible?

I guess the last resort would be to do this would be with an elisp
function.

Is there no other way?

do you really need the result to be in decimal notation? If not, 
#+TBLFM:@2$3=$2*$1;T would work. If you need decimal notation you have
to provide your own function, I think.

Re: [O] option for specific setupfile file or export option in org-publish-project-alist?

[Xebar Saram]

thx!

the :exclude-tags '("note" "noexport")  fixed the export and it works great
now

"...You can remove them with a hook, or a parse tree filter."

can you perhaps show an example for that or point me to some documentation
on that? im VERY bad at coding :)

thx so much again, really appreciate your help

Re: [O] option for specific setupfile file or export option in org-publish-project-alist?

[Xebar Saram]

thx Nicolas, appriciate the answer.

i dont think its working for me but i may be missing the correct syntax

this is how it currently looks

 ("r.base.full"
  :base-directory "/home/zeltak/org/files/Uni/Courses/R/"
  :base-extension "org"
  :publishing-directory
"/home/zeltak/org/attach/bgu/courses/R/full.html/"
  :publishing-function z/org-reveal-publish-to-html
  :recursive t
  :exclude-tags note noexport
  :reveal-single-file t)

is the line

:reveal-single-file t

correct syntax?

thx alot!

You can remove them with a hook, or a parse tree filter.

Re: [O] option for specific setupfile file or export option in org-publish-project-alist?

[Xebar Saram]

also related can one define specific header names to exclude in export (not
using tags but just a header name)
so ie, i would instead of tagging all headers named "Homework" one by one,
i would just add a line in the export options saying exclude any header
named "Homework"

thx!

Shouldn't it be :exclude-tags '("note" "noexport") ?

I think so.
