Extensible syntax is a specific, documented proposal. I posted some of the idea to this list a long time ago, as Carsten pointed out. One application of extensible syntax is "this". :) You can use extensible syntax for any feature you want. "this" is links with special subfeatures that would be difficult to program into ordinary link syntax.

[Orgmode] Vim folding/syntax highlighting?
Does anyone know of an org-mode syntax file and/or folding definition for Vim? I use Vim quite a bit, and would like to have *.org files highlighted nicely. I'd also like to use Vim's folding capabilities to be able to fold the headlines like org-mode does. I'll probably write a syntax file and a folding method if nobody knows of any existing ones.

Hi David, I have two org-mode setups and of course they are different :/ At home I don't know what day of the week it is normally (honest!) and I want to see the next 7 days so my week starts from today (or whatever day I'm looking at). I normally just look at today so my agenda remembers to display day view since that is what I used last. Looking at and planning my entire week is something I normally due on Monday's during my weekly review. For work my week runs Saturday - Friday and it's useful to see the week starting from Saturday. If I want to see the week view (at work) hitting w brings up this week starting from last Saturday (showing the week including the day I'm displaying -- which is almost always today). At work I report my hours from Saturday through Friday. I often want a clock report of what I've worked on this week so I look at the week view and hit R and I have my report. Hopefully some of this description is useful and doesn't confuse you more :). Regards, Bernt ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

Thanks, Bernt. That's /very/ helpful. git send-email and format-patch have a pretty overwhelming set of options, and this will help me focus on the ones I should use.

Hi Carsten, I'm afraid I don't want to take responsibility for this (a predictable position). Apart from anything else there are several areas of Org that I don't know enough about. If there isn't a volunteer, perhaps we could place this document on Worg, and someone could periodically review the changes and judge whether they should be applied to the master copy on the Org website? We could request on this list volunteers for someone to make specific entries (e.g. adding a "Further reading" section for a specific chapter).

The R project has something called "An Introduction to R" for beginners, separate from the complete manual. I think that as a beginner, and wondering how to break into learning a new package, that "reading the manual" has certain negative psychological connotations that "reading the intro document" does not, not the least of which is the length of full manual.

You can specify how many commits to include with -n (eg. git format-patch -3 ) and it numbers the 3 patches appropriately. You can turn off the patch numbering if they are unrelated with --no-numbered. If you are using git send-email it uses the same format-patch parameters IIRC.

[Orgmode] Frequently used files/headings
Currently, I'm using org-id-get-create to generate a unique ID for headings that I frequently go to in org-mode. * Foo :PROPERTIES: :ID: F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C :END: Then, I copy the newly created ID to the kill-ring, and paste it into a block like this: (global-set-key (kbd " f") (lambda () "Goto Foo Org File" (interactive) (org-id-goto "F3B14102-A66D-408C-8833-1F9CF7E5047C"))) This will map F6-f to jump to Foo. I know that there are many ways to navigate org-files, but using the ID is great because it requires only two keystrokes. This works pretty good, except I'd like to improve three things: 1) I'd like to be able to see a menu of where I've mapped my shortcuts 2) I'd like to simplify the creation of these IDs and shortcut keys. 3) I have about 10 quick-keys now, so I have 30 lines of very similar code I'm sensing an org-babel type approach where I could define an org-mode table like this: | Name | Key | ID | | Foo| " f" | 123456779 | Then, I could loop through the table, and for each row, I could run this code: (global-set-key (kbd ) (lambda () (interactive) (org-id-goto ))) Before I do something like this, I'd like to know if anyone's done something similar or if anyone wants to chime in.

If you set it to a number, the week will always start on that day. The problem is that, if you are still in the current week, it might make sense to have the week start at today when you switch back to week view. But when you are further away from today, the week view must be constructed in a way that the day which was last shown in day view is also shown. Since you have opted to have your week view start at whatever weekday is today, Org assumes now that you want a week starting on the last shown day. H.

Here's the particular problem for org-export-generic --- maybe there's a solution: org-export-generic is primarily data-driven. To specify an export technique, you populate a very big data structure using a macro with what look like common-lisp keywords. Here's an example: (org-set-generic-type "tikiwiki" '(:file-suffix ".txt" :key-binding ?U ;; lifted from wikipedia exporter :header-prefix "" :header-suffix "" :title-format"-= %s =-\n" :date-export nil :toc-exportnil :body-header-section-numbers nil :body-section-prefix "\n" :body-section-header-prefix("! " "!! " "!!! " " " "! " "!! " "!!! ") :body-section-header-suffix(" \n" " \n" " \n" " \n" " \n" " \n") :body-line-export-preformated t ;; yes/no/maybe??? :body-line-format "%s " :body-line-wrapnil :body-line-fixed-format " %s\n" :body-list-format "* %s\n" :body-number-list-format "# %s\n" ;;:body-list-prefix "LISTSTART" ;;:body-list-suffix "LISTEND" :blockquote-start "\n^\n" :blockquote-end"^\n\n" :body-newline-paragrapht )) The problem is that this is VERY difficult to document as the set of keywords expands (e.g., I add :body-newline-paragraph, :blockquote-start and :blockquote-end). These aren't arguments, so they can't get documented in the code in a docstring. org-set-generic-type is a function, not a mode, so there's no docstring for the mode to hold the documentation. This is already not working, AFAICT, the worg docs don't seem to be complete or accurate. I'm pretty convinced from general code and document-writing practice that the best solution would be one that puts the documentation as close to the code as possible. If this were common-lisp, I would add a new method to the DOCUMENTATION generic function, so that one could say (documentation :body-newline-paragraph :org-export-keyword) Then we could add a declaration macro, and put the docstring there: (def-generic-export-keyword :body-newline-paragraph :boolean "Should newlines ONLY be used as paragraph breaks. If the associated value is true, then org-export-generic will flow contiguous paragraphs into one long line, adding newlines only where there is a blank line. Should be coupled with a value for :body-line-format that does NOT contain a newline character, e.g., \"%s \"") I suppose we could add something like this, and possibly even write a script that would blat the docstring into something that Worg could display.

In fact, I'm still willing to give it a shot. Even if IMAP isn't the best solution, I can always work out something with fetchmail / procmail, but, I still need a way to be able to read / check e-mail on my phone, even if it has already been gathered by fetchmail.

What happened was that I am incompetent with git. Somehow git thinks that my copy is four patches away from origin/master. But, in fact, only the last patch (hence 4/4) is a bona fide diff from origin/master (your version). To use a cliche, I need to figure out how to convince git that I am now on the same page as the origin. I think this may have something to do with submitting patches by email instead of pushing them.

The downside is that reading "\n"s > everywhere isn't exactly pretty on the specification side :-/ No, unfortunately, I couldn't make this work for the tikiwiki export. As far as I can tell, if you give the tikiwiki a block of text with newlines in it, the tikiwiki will "decide" that you wanted to set the linebreaks yourself, and will format the block as , making it impossible for a browser to reflow the text. This is not what I wanted. I want paragraphs in my org document to look like paragraphs when exported. So what I wanted here was newlines /only/ where the paragraphs break. Honestly, I don't understand how this is done in the wiki engine --- it seems hard to specify this as an unambiguous translation and get the edge cases (like single-line paragraphs) right. However, my appetite for reading PHP code is /extremely/ limited, so I have been learning the format rules by experimentation.

Use the arrow keys to navigate to the top level heading, hit TAB to expand the next level in that sub-tree, use the arrow keys again, hit TAB on the second level heading, and recurse... I find this quite intuitive and easy to use. of course, this assumes you know the hierarchy (i.e. under which higher level headings your particular destination is to be found). if you don't know the hierarchy, I would suggest doing an expansion of the whole file into the headings view (I can't remember what it is called but C-u TAB cycles through the different views) and search using C-s instead... remembering that you always have the full power of emacs at hand which is partly what makes org so powerful!

I'll let Carsten answer questions like that ;-) The reason for this is the following. Many of the contributed packages where written by people who were active in Org-mode for a while and then less so. Many of these package had no documentation at all. So I started a page on WOrg where this documentation can be added and edited by other users, with quite some success - now most package do have documentation. Keeping documentation for a contributed package the the org-repo would be OK, but there would be no mechanism to automatically put the latest version up on on the web. Changing this would require a volunteer who commits to keep the documentation of contributed packages in a consistent and web-publishable way in the contrib directory. - Carsten RG> 2.

I tried that actually but to no avail. I tracked down the problem to the following code in org-latex.el (if (consp (cdr sec)) (setq start (nth (if num 0 2) sec) end (nth (if num 1 3) sec)) (setq start (if num (car sec) (cdr sec For a flat list as you suggested sec is ("\section[year]{%s}" "\section*[year]{%s}"). The thing is that then (consp (cdr sec)) evaluates to true, which I think is not the supposed behaviour. Replacing (cdr sec) by (cadr sec) would fix this. Is this a bug or just me being too stupid? On another subject: Wouldn't it be nice if the properties of the current headline would be accessible by the sectioning function? I think that would proof very powerful to create customized export classes (together with customized latex commands). And I guess it would be quite easy to implement, right?

Same here, that's one of the reasons I read this list. I guess most of us on this list are still a noob regarding some aspects of Org, simply because they have never needed and used them. I do not remember a single instance of a literal "RTFM" response on this list. If you do ask a question that is answered in the documentation somewhere, you tend to get a friendly pointer in the right direction. Besides the Org Manual (which I recommend you to skim from cover to cover to get a general idea of what features are available), the mailing list archives, worg, and google, there is also C-h v (describe-variable). A lot of settings cannot be found in the manual, but are described in detail in the docstrings of their variables. Press "C-h v org- " to get a list of all Org related variables, then switch to the completion window with "C-x o" and use isearch (C-s) to search for a keyword. For example, if I want to change some aspect of the agenda, I might type "C-h v org-agenda- " to get a list of all agenda related settings.
