Perhaps the data from libphonenumber can be used.

[O] Two formerly internal libraries that are still being required but no longer exist

[Jonas Bernoulli]

I've run into these two feature inconsistencies:

- The command ~org-protocol-create-for-org~ does ~(require 'org-publish)~,
but that should now be ~ox-publish~.

- The command ~org-capture-import-remember-templates~ does ~(require
'org-remember)~, which makes sense because its purpose is to convert from
the ~org-remember~ format into the ~org-capture-templates~ format. However
~org-remember~ has been removed, so this won't work.

These issues exist in both the ~master~ and ~maint~ branches.

  Warm regards,
  Jonas

Re: [O] resize org-table when exporting to latex

[Vicente Vera]

This requires some LaTeX plumbing work. A few tricks:

First, use tabularx as suggested to stretch the columns automatically as
the size of the table changes.

- Use a smaller font size, such as :font \scriptsize
- Enlarge the table horizontally (for example: :width 0.8\paperheight)
- Put the page in landscape with the "pdflscape" package: wrap the table
with "#+BEGIN_landscape ... #+END_landscape" and change :width to
\paperheight
- Use package "graphicx" and wrap the table in "#+LATEX:
\resizebox{0.8\paperheight}{!}{ ... #+LATEX: }" to make the whole table
smaller

An example of the above in Org syntax (remember to call the necessary
packages):

#+BEGIN_landscape
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [htbp]
#+BEGIN_table
#+BEGIN_center
#+LATEX: \resizebox{0.8\paperheight}{!}{
#+CAPTION: A big table made small
#+BEGIN_threeparttable
#+ATTR_LATEX: :center nil :environment tabularx :width \paperheight :align
 :font \scriptsize :booktabs t
...
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options [flushleft]
#+BEGIN_tablenotes
\item[] Source: Someone on the Internet.
#+END_tablenotes
#+END_threeparttable
#+LATEX: }
#+END_center
#+END_table
#+END_landscape

[O] publishing files with images to latex

[Robert Klein]

Hi,

when I publish a project to PDF org-mode does not include the images in
the exported PDF (i.e. LaTeX doesn't find them), when I start the
publishing process from a buffer which is /not/ in the directory to be
published.


E.e. when I have the org files in ~/Documents/mpipdocs/linux and
publish to the same directory, but I'm in a buffer ~/.emacs, the images
show not up in the PDF export and in the *Messages* I get messages "PDF
file exported with errors" or so.

However, when I'm visiting, e.g. ~/Documents/mpipdocs/linux/index.org
and start the publishing process, everything goes Ok.

This is probably caused by commit
120f8c09f460c55131eb8d99685732ee88f538ae (and at least one follow-up
commit after the 9.0.1 release (with 9.0.1 publishing doesn't work at
all -- at least when the visited buffer directory isn't the publishing
directory, perhaps 2e35a59763efc5324874ec1a894691fe2123495c ?).

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks and best regards
Robert

Gah - my brain was wired wrong. I tried to use meta-left, not shift-meta-left.

Now it is working - thanks :)

Fixed. Thank you.

I don't think this is an issue. This function only makes sense if user
has an old `org-remember' library lying around. Otherwise, it raises an
error. This is the actual behaviour.

The other option is to remove the function altogether.

WDYT?

That's handy, thanks! And turns out I already had it installed.

Also, it looks like there are many forks of this repository, some of
which presumably address that issue -- has anyone tried any of the forks
recently?

[O] Babel doesn't like some Racket comments

[Lawrence Bottorff]

C-c C-c-ing this code

#+begin_src scheme
(define (foo x)
  ;just add one
  (+ 1 x)) ; comment
#+end_src

causes Racket (geiser) to freeze up. Sometimes I see a

Code block evaluation complete.
geiser-repl--maybe-send: Args out of range: 61, 62

-like message. The culprit is the *; comment *next to the `(+ 1 x))` line.
If I take it out the *; just add one* doesn't cause a problem. This
behavior doesn't happen in naked racket or regular geiser on racket.

[O] [PATCH] ox-confluence.el: Handle checkboxes and inactive timestamps correctly

[Marc Ihm]

Hello,

attached please find a patch for contrib/ox-confluence.el (authored by
Sébastien Delafond); the patch simply translates and fixes some selected
enhancements from ox-confluence-en.el (authored by Correl Roush).

As a result ox-confluence.el encodes square brackets in checkboxes or
inactive timestamps, so that they no longer collide with the native
link-syntax of atlassian confluence.

It would be great, if someone could review and apply this patch if
appropriate.


Best regards,
Marc Ihm
