[Orgmode] Yet another way to use maps --- the light way

Hi,


there is a light and easy way to use google and openstreetmap.org maps
if you define them as a custom link type:


(setq org-link-abbrev-alist
  '((gmap
 . http://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s;)
(omap
  . http://nominatim.openstreetmap.org/search?q=%spolygon=1;)))



Now
  [[gmap:Falkenstr 10, Hannover, Germany][Falkenstraße]]

and
  [[omap:Falkenstr 10, Hannover, Germany]]

show a map in your browser.  LaTeX and HTML export works out the box
with the advantage, that this export can legally be published on the
internet without any additional action (API license key).  Even on
commercial sites, as it's just a link to google.  OSM is no problem
anyway.


This way it's possible to show a certain place on earth, but not a track
or route.



There's a (known) bug in the LaTeX eporter:

[[Falkenstraße 10, Hannover, Germany]]

will _not_ work, because the german Umlaut will be distorted somehow
(unless fixed already)

[Orgmode] RE: cheatsheets in emacs

2010-09-23 Thread Drew Adams

 There is this ruby utility cheat (see http://cheat.errtheblog.com/ )
 that allows one to make/use cheatsheets using ruby. The format of the
 cheatsheet is yml.
 
 I feel that it should be possible to replace ruby by emacs and the
 yaml format by org-mode
 
 Does anything like this exist?
 
 There is of course a third aspect to the ruby solution -- providing
 web-available cheatsheets (see http://cheat.errtheblog.com/b )
 This I am currently not asking for because I am only trying to track
 my own findings in a manageable way

Hi Rustom,

Maybe this helps (dunno)?
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/CategoryReferenceSheet

Or maybe you are looking for an Emacs function that _generates_ cheat sheets?
In that case, `C-h m' and `C-h b' come to mind.  Or if you want to know/print
the bindings of a particular keymap (by name), `C-h M-k' from library
help-fns+.el does that (http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/help-fns%2b.el).

FWIW - Personally, I've never seen much utility in cheat sheets for Emacs.  I
confess that I did make some for myself when I was a newbie, but I never really
bothered with them after I discovered Emacs's integrated help (`C-h m', `C-h b',
`C-h k', `C-h w', `C-h a', `M-x apropos', etc.).  No doubt the _act of making_
such a sheet manually can help one learn some keys, but beyond that I don't see
much point in them.  Just one opinion, of course.

Aloha Srinivas,

Your settings work fine here, though I haven't installed your modified  
org-article.cls so can't say for certain whether or not your changes  
to an older version of that file have introduced the problem.


It looks to me as if the listings package is not doing its work for  
you.  Not only is color missing from the source code listings (though  
it is present elsewhere in the document), but the font size change to  
\tiny is not working either.  These are both things that the listings  
package should handle.  Is the listings package installed in your  
LaTeX setup?


All the best,
Tom

[Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts

Hi All,

I think it would be helpful to create a series of screencasts to
demonstrate Org-mode.  The screencasts I've made for MobileOrg[1,2]
seem to have helped users get started quickly.  There are so many
powerful features of Org-mode that are difficult to visualize yourself
using until you can see them in action.  It may also help draw in new
users who otherwise wouldn't quite get it.

Some topics that may be interesting:

- Org-mode in action, demonstrating common tasks like capture,
restructuring a tree, refiling, etc.
- Babel
- Integration with other tools (Gnus, WL, Firefox, etc)
- Clocking/reporting
- Export capabilities
- Power user showing their streamlined configurations
- ...?

I'd like to collect all of the videos in one place, unify them with
some similar (but simple) production, with each of the videos having a
page that links to documentation, Worg, example dotfiles, comments,
etc to help the user take it further on their own.

I'd be happy to host the videos if bandwidth is a concern on the
orgmode.org site.  I've also already purchased the necessary software
to record/edit the videos.  But I'm looking to the community for ideas
on topics as well as individuals who would be willing to record the
videos or at least help me work up a script with key talking points so
I could do the recording and narration.

What do you think?  Anyone interested in helping?

Richard

2010-09-23 Thread Eric Schulte

Hi Richard,

I think this is a really great idea.  I agree this could greatly raise
awareness of Org-mode and Org-mode features both for the completely
uninitiated and for the seasoned users.

We've been meaning to put together a Babel screencast, but as of yet
have not found the time or software.  Hopefully this will be the push we
need to either put together a screencast or send you a script with the
required documentation.

I've had luck hosting Emacs screencasts on vimeo in the past, it is
high-quality and easy to embed the vimeo-hosted video in other sites
(e.g. Worg).

 The problem is that I have a hard time getting back to those tasks when
 I get a response email (or phone call).

 There is nothing salient about these that means that when I get a
 response email, I see the task and can mark it as completed.

 Does anyone have a good solution for this?

 I have a hazy idea that always having a special agenda window open with
 a special agenda display of tasks awaiting responses might do the trick,
 but few ideas about how to accomplish this in practice.  Presumably a
 special TODO status for awaiting response, and special agenda view...
 does that sound reasonable?  I notice that the manual refers to THE
 agenda.  Is it possible to have multiple agenda windows so that I could
 always have the waiting for response agenda up w/o cutting off my
 access to other views?
 
 As far as I fully understand your request, what you need is a custom agenda
 report:
 
 --8---cut here---start-8---
 #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
 (setq org-agenda-custom-commands
   '((W Waiting
  todo WAIT nil)))
 #+END_SRC
 --8---cut here---end---8---

I know how to make a custom agenda for this; the problem is more how to
have that custom agenda always open for me to glance at.  I don't want
to have to call up this agenda every time I get an email or a phone call
to decide whether a waiting task is unwaiting...

Should one open an org agenda buffer, and then rename it, so that
following org-agenda commands don't wipe it?

thanks,

Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts


Richard,

First of all, your MobileOrg screencasts are very nice.
In my opinion, keeping things high-level and showing
the major features are what is important.  In a way,
they are commercials for the product, and I think the
best way to entice people into trying the product is to
make them say Wow when viewing the video.

I would be happy to help but would need to know the
software requirements.  Is it easy to make these under
Linux?

Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts

I've just installed and tested recordmydesktop (based on Russell's
recommendation) on my Linux system and it seems to work great.  It
produces .ogv video files, which will need to be run through ffmpeg or
mencode first to be compatible with Vimeo.

On my Mac, I used Telestream's ScreenFlow, which has a great set of
editing tools built in.

I'd like to create a Worg page that will list:

- A link to each screencast
  Each screencast page ideally would contain:
  - Embedded video
  - Links to relevent documentation
  - Material referenced from the video (links to other packages, etc.)
  - Sample configuration files needed to achieve the results of the video
- Subject ideas
- Tools needed to record your own, where to upload them, etc.

I hope once we get one or two in there, it'll be easy for anyone else
who wants to contribute to follow suit.

I like the idea of using Vimeo since we may get new users who search
for emacs on that site.

So.. who wants to go first? :)  (Or if you don't want to do the
recording yourself, I'd be happy to work with you to come up with some
basic script for me to follow).

Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts

2010-09-23 Thread John Hendy

Maybe some help can be found here re. software?

- Big list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_screencasting_software
- A bit dated, but pretty cool overview of some Linux methods:
http://www.linuxhaxor.net/?p=815
- Krut looks simple enough and has some neat features:
http://www.linux-magazine.com/Online/Blogs/Productivity-Sauce-Dmitri-s-open-source-blend-of-productive-computing/Krut-screencasts-made-easy
- This is recent and looks simple:
http://verb3k.wordpress.com/2010/01/26/how-to-do-proper-screencasts-on-linux/

I've never done this and so cannot really recommend anything in particular
from the wiki list... I did just try the last method (ffmpeg) and it worked
great. I don't have pulse audio at the moment, but tailoring their command
to this worked for me:

---
ffmpeg -f alsa -ac 2 -f x11grab -r 30 -s 1024x768 -i :0.0 -acodec pcm_s16le
-vcodec libx264 -vpre lossless_ultrafast -threads 0 output.mkv
---

Hope that helps even slightly... I didn't want to fiddle with the actual
applications right now, but I'm thinking that the ones with a spotlight
for the cursor and ability to zoom in could prove to be quite the nice
touch.

Perhaps we should put together screencast wish list somewhere? Then
perhaps individuals could sign up to work on them?

I think LaTeX integration would be a huge sell. I know a guy at work who
uses LaTeX for reports but has never heard of Org-mode. I, on the other
hand, only know about LaTeX because I found out about Org-mode. The more
I've learned how to use LaTeX, the more when he talks about things I can't
believe he's typing out all those lines for his reports! Showing how
Org-mode can take what you already know and make it that much easier and
faster to get work done would be neat, IMO.

Hi Richard,

I think this is a really great idea. I agree this could greatly raise
awareness of Org-mode and Org-mode features both for the completely

We've been meaning to put together a Babel screencast, but as of yet
have not found the time or software. Hopefully this will be the push we
need to either put together a screencast or send you a script with the
required documentation.

I've had luck hosting Emacs screencasts on vimeo in the past, it is
high-quality and easy to embed the vimeo-hosted video in other sites
(e.g. Worg).

I personnaly prefer explicit names like date-timestamp-inactive,

Okay, just pushed the changes.  The properties for the date header

and are supplied by all mail link handlers.

Tested with all but vm which I have some trouble to configure
correctly.

While working on org-gnus I noticed a small inconsistency: All mail
link handlers return the full message id (i.e. with enclosing angle
brackets) in the %:message-id property, but org-gnus does return the
message id without the angle brackets.

I am not sure about the implications of a fix for this and providing
the mid w/o angle brackets in a property %:message-id-no-brackets (as
org-wl does).

Re: [Orgmode] Org-mode screencasts

Hi Richard,


great idea.

There are some screencasts around that could serve as a basis.  I'd
gladly rework my two little screencasts about org-protocol:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7Z2PiAcgh8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G2xjwxEj-c8

I used Wink[1] to create those screnncasts.  But I guess it's not what
we should use (flash)?


To make all screencasts look the same, we would need to make them all on
the same system.  That's a problem.
For simple movies, just inside emacs, we could write an elisp file for
you to execute.  But as soon as other applications are involved, we'll
have a problem to solve.

Hi, Eric,

Yes, the file is saved, and is the one I'm trying to export from.

If neither you nor Noorul can reproduce it, I may have messed up 
something. But I can't think what.


It looks like the problem arises in this part of org-babel-exp-src-blocks

and that org-heading-components fails to return the heading text. 
Can't see why, though.

Sebastian Rose wrote:
David Maus dm...@ictsoc.de writes:
 Sebastian Rose wrote:
Is there a reason for this distinction between multibyte and unibyte?
I favour the shotgun-approach if not.  It's bullet-proof.

The JavaScript function `encodeURIComponent()' encodes the German Umlaut
`ü' as `%C3%B6' regardless of the sources encoding actually.  That's why
I wrote the two functions `org-protocol-unhex-string' and
`org-protocol-unhex-compound' (s. org-protocol.el).

 Ah, yes.  From my understandig of the RFC %C3%BC is a valid
 representation of the ü character.  

 I do not yet fully understand
 how to unescape such a representation.  E.g. Is %C3%BC a hexencoded
 multibyte char or a succession of two singlebyte chars?

It's a hexencoded multibyte char.

JavaScript implementations seem to turn non-ascii singlebyte chars
into multibyte chars first, then encode the result.

This means if a page is iso-8859-1 encoded (singlebyte `ü'),
JavaScript will recode the `ü'.  It's funny, but that's what I found
when writing org-protocol.el


`org-protocol-unhex-string' and `org-protocol-unhex-compound' decode
such a representation.

The trick is in the utf-8 encoding itself.  If a byte starts with a 1,
another byte will follow.  The number of leading `1's denotes the amount
of bytes used for one character.   On a GNU/Linux system try

  sh$  man utf-8

Thanks!  I finally get a grip on one of my personal nightmares.  The
attached patch is the first step in this direction: It modifies the
algorithm of `org-link-escape', now iterating over the input string
with `mapconcat' and escaping all characters in the escape table or
are between 127 and 255.

I'll try to figure out the escaping/unescaping of multibyte characters
next.

Sent as a patch because of it's possible side-effects: The new
algorithm ignores the cdr of the escape table cons -- Thus things will
break if they use this function for anything else then percent
escaping.

I now have a full timestamp (date and time) for when the mail has been sent
(or received?). That's really great.

Though, for the scheduling part, I don't need a full timestamp: I just want to
specify when (which day) I intend to work on it, and reply to it. There, it'd
be cool to have a timestamp with only date and day of the week (no time).

Does this make sense?

Best regards,

 This works... Somehow.  The buffer is not wiped, but for example
 refreshing the list of items will open a new *Agenda* buffer.

I think one MIGHT be able to work around this by exploiting the dynamic

Re: [Orgmode] Two bugs in org-indent (plus a fix to correct one of them)

William Henney wrote:
Hi all

I have recently started using org-indent (together with word-wrap) for
new org files. In general, I love it. But there are a couple of small
problems:


2. org-indent fails to play nicely with org-inlinetask in two ways

   i) It destroys the special fontification of the inline task's
leading stars, even if org-indent-mode-turns-on-hiding-stars is set to
nil

   ii) Any text after an inline task's END statement is soft-indented
as though it were part of the inline task, whereas the indentation
should ideally return to what it was before the inline task. Of
course, this is also a problem when org-indent is turned off, if you
try to automatically hard-indent using TAB. However, in that case you
can adjust by hand the indentation of the first line after the inline
task, and then all the following lines will indent correctly. With
org-indent the problem is much worse since there is no way of
adjusting the soft indents by hand.

Not a fix yet, but kind of a bump.  Having the text below an
inline-task wrongly indented makes inline-tasks completely unusable
with `org-indent-mode' turned on.

Best,

Yes.  For this to work, you'd to do something like this (untested):


(defun org-follow-gmap-link (path)

   (concat http://maps.google.com/maps?q=; path)))

[Orgmode] wrap sourcecode?

attached is the org source for the following page, rendered by wordpress
using html generated by org2blog:
http://www.hackinghistory.ca/lab-01-understanding-html/
You can see that without wrapping, the source goes right off of the page.
Is there anything I can do to fix that? Do I need to define the src and
example classes in css somewhere, in order to get horizontal sliders?  Or
can I set an option in the html export that will make this easier for me?

You can see from the generated HTML that those classes have already
been assigned

pre class=src src-html

so you just need to provide the appropriate style.  There are several
ways to accomplish that, see CSS Support in the manual if memory
serves.

One more thought, if it's easy to edit the screencast, throw in a bit about
headline folding.  Just show how easy it is to collapse and expand the

Really nice, agree that the intro is the least exciting.

But even starting with agendas in the next one, the more interesting things

Great job!

So with the software you use, you can go and insert/delete/edit voice into the
presentation once it's complete, or if you want to change the wording in one
part, do you have to record the whole thing over again?  I assume you can change
it, but don't know if the Linux tool has that capability.

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts

2010-09-23 Thread John Hendy

Wow, Richard. That was sweet. You even have a pleasing screencaster's
voice.

My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode
viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into
emacs because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not
even have known what meta was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta
= alt on Win/Linux and Command on Mac?

Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac
and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols
are on their own keyboards?

As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta +
left/right). Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up
as keystrokes. For example, I thought you said M-n s and M-n w to narrow
on the tree and then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that
flash on the screen.

Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I
have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and
would love to have something this simple and clear-cut.


Great work, again.

 presentation once it's complete, or if you want to change the wording in
 one
 part, do you have to record the whole thing over again?  I assume you can
 change
 it, but don't know if the Linux tool has that capability.

 Great idea!  I would he happy to record a couple of screencasts
 based on tutorials I have written. Currently I am preparing
 a tutorial on date trees and capturing notes to a journal.

 I am a Windows user and a screencast tool I use is
 http://www.screenr.com - from Articulate.
 This allows screencasts up to 5 minutes to be recorded
 then hosted on their website.

[Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts

 Hi All,

 I think it would be helpful to create a series of screencasts to
 demonstrate Org-mode.  The screencasts I've made for MobileOrg[1,2]
 seem to have helped users get started quickly.  There are so many
 powerful features of Org-mode that are difficult to visualize yourself
 using until you can see them in action.  It may also help draw in new
 users who otherwise wouldn't quite get it.

One thing that would be really excellent is to show keystrokes as you do
the tutorial. I don't know what system you're using, but this link:

http://screencasters.heathenx.org/blog/2009/04/06/smaller-key-status-monitor/

Sounds like it might be okay for Linux, and this one has some (seriously
ugly) options for Windows:

http://dan.hersam.com/2009/05/01/how-to-display-keystrokes-for-screencasts-on-windows/

Macs have KeyCastr or something like that…

Just a thought!

Eric


 Some topics that may be interesting:

 - Org-mode in action, demonstrating common tasks like capture,
 restructuring a tree, refiling, etc.
 - Babel
 - Integration with other tools (Gnus, WL, Firefox, etc)
 - Clocking/reporting
 - Export capabilities
 - Power user showing their streamlined configurations
 - ...?

 I'd like to collect all of the videos in one place, unify them with
 some similar (but simple) production, with each of the videos having a
 page that links to documentation, Worg, example dotfiles, comments,
 etc to help the user take it further on their own.

 I'd be happy to host the videos if bandwidth is a concern on the
 orgmode.org site.  I've also already purchased the necessary software
 to record/edit the videos.  But I'm looking to the community for ideas
 on topics as well as individuals who would be willing to record the
 videos or at least help me work up a script with key talking points so
 I could do the recording and narration.

 What do you think?  Anyone interested in helping?

 Thanks,
 Richard

Re: [Orgmode] Re: Org-mode screencasts

Erik, thanks for the reminder about folding.  I had it in my script and must've 
lost it in one of the edits.  I do prefer making these on the Mac.  It makes 
piecing them together much easier.  Recordmydesktop on Linux will do single 
takes fine, but stitching it together in the end may be a chore.  Maybe you 
guys are good enough to do it all in one take though :)

John, you raise good points about what we can expect of the viewer.  I'm open 
to suggestions, in fact maybe a 'Just enough Emacs for Org-mode' intro could 
help newcomers to Emacs who are here just for Org-mode (like I was a year ago). 
 Some of these issues could also be addressed on the episode's webpage, which 
would link to relevant docs and info.

As far as some of the missing keystrokes, I was trying to find a balance 
between showing every keystroke (and risk confusing the user), or just show 
only the keys with modifiers (my 2 options in the tool, unfortunately).

I've updated the screencast (same URL) to contain a small bit about folding.

Thanks for the comments, I hope we can refine this and make a plan for more as 
well.

 Wow, Richard. That was sweet. You even have a pleasing screencaster's voice.
 
 My only thought was along the lines of what one should assume about org-mode 
 viewers. Familiarity with emacs? No knowledge of emacs? I only got into emacs 
 because I found org-mode, so my only thought there is that I might not even 
 have known what meta was... I can't recall, but did you clarify meta = alt 
 on Win/Linux and Command on Mac?
 
 Stuff like that might be helpful. Obviously these won't all be done on a Mac 
 and some unfamiliar with it might wonder what the Command and carat symbols 
 are on their own keyboards?
 
 As Erik said -- folding and perhaps adjusting in and out (meta + left/right). 
 Also, it seems that only the meta or control functions show up as keystrokes. 
 For example, I thought you said M-n s and M-n w to narrow on the tree and 
 then widen the view but I only ever saw one part of that flash on the screen.
 
 Great, great job. Loved it and think this is exactly what Org could use. I 
 have a co-worker who just got emacs and org-mode up on his computer and would 
 love to have something this simple and clear-cut.
 
 
 Great work, again.

A tool I looked at a few months ago might be useful here.
http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/ScreencastMode 
I downloaded it but haven't played with it yet. Its main purpose is to 
make the inner working of whats happening in emacs more obvious to the 
viewer.
