Thanks for the information.  I seem to remember using your script in the
past.  However, I never managed to automate pulling an ICS file from the
local Exchange server via the EWS API.  I seem to remember there was a
problem with some IIS setting that the Windows admins were unwilling to
change.  So I gave up on that and now just import meeting invites
directly from Gnus into Org using the gnus-icalendar package.

Cheers,

Loris

It doesn't work this way now, but I think it makes sense, and I would
also find that helpful. `org-attach-set-directory' could be changed to
check for existing files, and offer to move them. There's no
`org-attach-unset-directory', but I suppose there could be.

I initially saw this:

(replace-regexp-in-string "\\`includegraphics.+\\({.+\.svg}\\)"
"simplesvg\1" contents))

That looked like you wanted to just swap \includegraphics with
\simplesvg. Doing that via LaTeX directly seemed like an easy way:

#+latex: \let\includegraphics\simplesvg

Now that I'm re-examining, you only want to do this for .svgs so
that's not nearly as straightforward.

> If my previous e-mail was indeed clear, may be I'm not getting what you are

If the above *did* work, I don't see why you couldn't just remove the
#+latex line before publishing. Or define it in a setupfile that you
load and no one would ever know the contents to get confused. Or
perhaps it was a mandatory requirement to do zero changes to the file
you publish? The first method you showed appeared to apply elisp code
from within the file, so I'd assume an external user would see it but
have to ignore/not eval.

Filters are intimidating to me (no elisp-fu here!), but they
definitely sound like the ticket!


Good luck,
John

P.S. On a last point re. the confusion alone, I'm interpreting you to
mean users may think \simplesvg == \includesvg? Or simplesvg is your
package *name*, svg is the CTAN package, and they both provide
\includesvg? Why not rename your local version's command to a
different name? Or do \usepacakge{simplesvg} locally, and in the
published version have it commented with a note that it's special? Or
make your package available and include a link and instructions to
replicate? Just seems like an awful lot of work for a naming
convention issue!

[edgar]

This is what filters are for.  In your case `:filter-link' needs to
have a function that changes `includegraphics' to `simplesvg', if I
get what you want.

Looks fantastic! I've been searching for a good way to write blog

I've always been annoyed by Org's default heading id's. The way
I usually solve it is by setting a CUSTOM_ID property for every
heading, but it's rather inflexible ...

Does anybody know of a way to have Org produce sensible, readable
id's for headings? Like #this-is-a-heading instead of
#orgdcbac14.

Re: [O] org-hide in terminal

[Michael Brand]

Hi Johannes

In a terminal with at least 16 colors the terminal color white (ID 7)
which is used for the face org-hide is darker than the terminal color
bright white (ID 15). Bright white is usually the same as the light
background. Use M-x list-colors-display in a terminal Emacs and look
at the first eight and the next eight colors, the bright variants of
the previous eight. For more about terminal colors see for example
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ANSI_escape_code#Colors

To improve the situation of hiding the leading stars at least for
Emacs in a terminal with otherwise default color settings and with a
light background I started to use

  ;; For for example 256-color terminal and light background. The
  ;; Emacs color brightwhite is only defined on a terminal Emacs.
  (when (and (eq 'light (frame-parameter nil 'background-mode))
 (color-defined-p "brightwhite"))
(set-face-foreground 'org-hide "brightwhite"))

On macOS Terminal.app it does not work as good as on other operating
systems and terminals because there even bright white is darker than
the light background. Also take into account that on Terminal.app the
256 color IDs are mapped to only 16 instead of the usual 256 different
RGB values.

It is said that Nanoc is flexible. You can convert org mode to HTML with
Pandoc or Emacs. Nanoc supports Pandoc out of box. To use Emacs, you
need to write your own "filter" (Nanoc's terminology, i.e., convert one
format into another), for example,

#+BEGIN_SRC ruby
require 'tempfile'

class OrgFilter < Nanoc::Filter
  identifier :org

  def run(content, params = {})
file = Tempfile.new(['nanoc', '.org'])
file.write(content)
file.close
system("emacs --batch --load init.el #{file.path} --eval 
'(org-html-export-to-html nil nil nil t)'")
html = "#{File.dirname(file.path)}/#{File.basename(file.path, '.org')}.html"
file.unlink
File.read(html)
  end
end
#+END_SRC

I just created my own site  with it last
week. The syntax highlighting on code block is provided by htmlize.el.
I noticed `org-html-export-to-html' produces different HTML every time
even the org file is unchanged at all. It is very annoying to me. I
found a work-around to avoid it,

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
;; -*- lexical-binding: t; -*-
(let ((id 0))
  (defun org-export-new-reference--use-persistent-id (references)
(let ((new id))
  (while (rassq new references)
(setq new (incf id)))
  new)))

(advice-add 'org-export-new-reference
:override #'org-export-new-reference--use-persistent-id)
#+END_SRC

This is what filters are for.  In your case `:filter-link' needs to have a 
function that changes `includegraphics' to `simplesvg', if I get what you 
want.


Check out the manual:

(info "(org) Advanced configuration")

maybe run the example here:

http://orgmode.org/worg/exporters/filter-markup.html

and consult the part about filters here:

There are examples in the ox-*.el files, too. So, grep these for

Re: [O] org to static site?

[John Kitchin]

I have used blogofile for many years now. I write the posts in orgmode but
export them to html with the required yaml header.

That approach could also be used for markdown. This old
http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2013/09/27/Publishing-to-blogofile-using-org-mode/
but lays out the basic approach I use with my blog.

Note I am not sure I would recommend blogofile today. It is not actively
developed anymore I think. It does what I want these days.

You can examine the CSS there. I disabled all CDNs. I didn't want any 
javascript, external libs, etc. My ublock shows
zero other sites, no third party code.

I'd have to dig into how I customized the pre-compiled css files.

Understood, and I just meant in general (not org integration). This
was a bit tongue in cheek; I don't think anyone would *expect* that
something like this could be used without a manual. It's complicated
and takes a bit to parse, just like any other software! I think it's
great thus far, but can't fathom how someone could "pick it up" and
start using it from scratch with no docs.

I'm intrigued. Do you have the sources or could you post the gist
somewhere? While the result looks more or less pretty, the bootstrap3
base was super intimidating with respect to changing anything. I
probably hunted for 30min or more just to figure out why changing the

Yeah, but IRC has been good for answering questions. I was able to get a

[O] org to static site?

[Matt Price]

I'm trying to wean myself off of Wordpress for next year's teaching
websites, and am wondering what solutions other people are using for
turning a collection of org pages and/or subtrees into a static html site.
I am leaning towards Hugo but honestly not for any sensible reason; I've
seen other people use Jekyll, though the fact that Github doesn't support
direct conversion from org-mode removes some of Jekyll's appeal; and I know
there are a number of other solutions too.

So, I would love to hear what you all recommend.

Thanks,
Matt

[O] time not shown in capture buffer, but captured

[Detlef Steuer]

Hi!

At some moment in the last 10 days the beheaviour of capturing
and/or date/time-selection has changed.

(org git from today, emacs 25.2.1)

I have the following capture template:
...
("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/.pim/inbox.org" "Inbox")
"* TODO %? \n " )
...

C-c c t works, a buffer pops up as expected.

Now

C-c C-s

Gives the usual date+time selection buffer.

 chooses the selected date.

BUT: the timestamp is only added to the inbox.org, but invisible
in the capture buffer.

Any ideas?

Could you update Org to a more recent version, e.g., 9.0.7. It may have
been fixed already.

Even though that change may be interesting on its own, it isn't a proper
solution here. 

Raw values cannot be replaced. The only possible handling is "prepend"
since Org cannot possibly know what the results are. For example, with
the following src block

  #+begin_src org
  Pargraph 1

  Paragaph 2
  #+end_src

Org cannot know if a raw "Parapraph 2" belongs the the results or is
a paragraph following them.

Since "raw" format is special, the most surprising thing here is that
Org src blocks use it as a default.

Anyway, I don't think there is anything to fix (except maybe the
documentation). The OP is requesting an impossible combination of
parameters.

This made me think of the various times someone wants to use endnotes
instead of footnotes. Have you considered just changing the definition
in LaTeX instead? [1] [2]

#+LaTeX_HEADER: \usepackage{endnotes}
#+LaTeX_HEADER: \let\footnote=\endnote

In other words, utilize the fact that Org already handles images
flawlessly and then just define \includegraphics to be something else
on the LaTeX end of things.

The Fn key is a whole different issue. It’s likely that your system is
reporting a Home key code when you press Fn+Left.

[O] Moving and resetting attachments

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

two questions about moving attachments to org files:

C-c C-a a attaches a file and stores it under ./data/ID/...

Using C-c C-a s I can set another directory a attachment directory. Can I make 
org-mode move the content of the previous
directory to the new directory?

Can I "reset" the attachment directory, i.e. like C-c C-a s but :ATTACH_DIR: is 
deleted and the contents of the previous
directory are moved to ./data/ID?

Rationale:

I use org mode as a document management system. Create an entry Papers -> 
Interpolation -> ECCOMAS. I know create an
custom attachment directory ECCOMAS, next to the org file as long as I am 
working on that paper. When it's finished, I
want to move the contents of the ECCOMAS attachment directory to ./data/ID/.

Thanks,
Florian

Yes, I realized after Yuri's comment that the comparison with ESC was a bit

AFAIR, the remapping of Meta-something to ESC-something happens
automatically only for characters, not for function keys.  For
function keys, this remapping must be set somewhere, or it won't
happen.  You can see in bindings.el how some of these remappings are
set up.

I can actually confirm this on quite recent org (as well as 8.2.10 as
bundled with emacs 26.x) on Linux as well.

Comparing Alt-left with the ESC key followed by left arrow gives this
using C-h c:

:  runs the command org-metaleft
: ESC  (translated from  ) runs the command backward-word

with emacs -Q in GUI mode.  Have not tried terminal mode.

As Jean-Christophe has said, this seems to be independent of the window
manager.  For completeness, I am using ratpoison.

Ok, I just tried something else:

(setq  ns-function-modifier 'meta) and what I get is *very* similar to the 
issue I have with ESC:

FN-x correctly "calls" M-x
FN-left in a level 2 header in org mode triggers beginning-of-buffer and *not* 
org-promote-header.

So the problem is not limited to ESC, and maybe not limited to org-mode.

In this case, M-Left (ESC-left) triggers backward-word instead of the expected 
org-promote-subtree.

It does not seem to me that the OS is stealing anything.

What calendar system are you interested in?  The easiest way, in my
experience, is to use an ics/ical translation script and access the
ics/ical version of the department calendar, if such is available.  I do
this to import appointments and TODO information from both MS outlook
and Google calendar.

I use the attached AWK script.  It has been previously posted to this
list (many years ago) and a slightly different version is available on
Worg, I believe.  I've been using this script for a long time and
generally works very well.  There can be some issues with time zones and
summer time depending on where you import from...

Ooops, you're right. Indeed.

On my machine I *systematically* use ESC for META.

Now that I think about it, I just tried this:

(setq  ns-right-command-modifier 'meta)

And I get the expected behavior in GUI emacs. So it's really an issue about ESC 
that is not recognized in GUI mode for *some* bindings in org-mode.

I would suggest the easiest way would be a custom view for the agenda

settings for each.

My own experience over the years is that this is indeed usually the
culprit, especially for keys such as M-arrows which are often bound to
functions like changing workspace views.

[O] Org-mode link returned path is truncated when contains space

[numbch...@gmail.com]

I have a link in org-moe file like this:

 #+BEGIN_SRC org
 [[file:Data/images/logos/Full color Git logo for light backgrounds.png]]
 #+END_SRC

 *The file did exist.*

 I have elisp code like this to fontify link when the file does not exist:

 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (org-link-set-parameters
  "file"
  ;; TODO: fix path contains space case.
  :face (lambda (path) (if (file-exists-p path) 'org-link 'org-warning)))
 #+END_SRC

 But it is fontied as red. I tried to debug info by print of ~path~ in
upper `org-link-set-parameters` lambda function.

 It return for path:

 #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
 "Data/images/logos/Full"
 #+END_EXAMPLE

Sure! My department uses a shared ownCloud calendar and I use org-caldav to 
sync.

https://github.com/dengste/org-caldav

configuration is simple:

(setq org-caldav-url 
"https://invalid.org/cloud/remote.php/dav/calendars/lindner";
  org-caldav-calendar-id "sgskalender"
  org-caldav-inbox "~/sgs.org"
  org-icalendar-timezone "Europe/Berlin"
  org-caldav-files nil)

Best,
Florian
