Re: [O] Org expert mode?
Thanks all for this great discussion. I close this thread now: there is a nice consensus on not taking the direction of an expert mode, and that notion was ill-defined anyway. Reading all this feedback, I feel confident that the community will be vigilant and tell me if any new feature somehow disrupts the balance we have between usability / feature-richness.

Re: [O] regexp link on windows problem
Hi Rafal, Rafal Florek r...@irmak.com.pl writes: The `org-insert-link' function destroys my regexp by changing all backslashes to slashes. Can you give an example?

[O] [Workaround] Escaping false list items
Hi,
Back to the problem with e.g. 2011. being interpreted as a list
item when it happens to be at the beginning of a line:
After a bad experience with a document that had a lot of those, I came
up with this function to easily escape false list items. Maybe some of
you will find it helpful, or better yet, have suggestions for
improvements.
(defun my/org-list-escape-nonitems ()
(interactive)
(let ((nonitem [0-9]\\{4\\}) ; Unlikely list numbers
; here: four-digit numbers (years)
(term (cond
((eq org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator t) [.)])
((= org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator ?\)) ))
((= org-plain-list-ordered-item-terminator ?.) \\.)
(t [.)]
(goto-char (point-min))
(query-replace-regexp
(concat ^\\( nonitem \\)\\( term \\) )
(concat \\1\\2 (string ?\240)
It calls query-replace-regexp, so the user can confirm each
replacement interactively, on apparent list items where the numbering
matches the NONITEM regexp. If confirmed, it replaces the space after
the item terminator with a non-breaking space.
In the code above, NONITEM is simply hard-coded as four digits,
matching years. It could be made a customizable variable.
The adventurous might want to call it automatically before export,
though currently this does not work well with subtree exports:
(add-hook 'org-export-first-hook 'my/org-list-escape-nonitems)
Feedback welcome.
Yours,
Christian

Re: [O] dates before 1970
Hi, I asked in emacs-develop and got: by Andreas Schwabon 2011-03-11T13:19:43+00:00. If your system's time-t is a signed 32-bit integer then your system is able to represent times between 1901-12-13 20:45:53 UTC and 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. If your system's time-t is an unsigned 32-bit integer your system can represent times between 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC and 2106-02-07 06:28:15 UTC. Andreas. So I am not sure what 64 bit systems do now or in the future, but it seems that we need to live with a restriction for now.

[O] The Answer to Life the Universe and Caching Your Passwords (it's not,42).
A light hearted look at getting Emacs to cache your encryption passwords. Today I decided to try out the git version of gnus. After cloning the repo and setting my .emacs to load gnus, I was prompted to enter the details for my various email accounts, currently stored in my .authinfo file. Gnus then saved these in a .authinfo.gpg file, which astute reader may realize is a gpg encrypted file. Good, I thought that makes my system a bit more secure. Gnus then prompted me for the pas phrase for my .authinfo.gpg file for each of my accounts. When you have three or more accounts repeated typing Richard Stallman has a very long beard gets a bit repetitive. Less patient users may change their password to gnus, 1234, or some other four letter word not suitable for the eyes of emacs org-mode readers. After perusing various Emacs mailing lists, which had various answers, many from denizens of this list; I worked out the gnus was using symmetric encryption. I added (setq epa-file-cache-passphrase-for-symmetric-encryption t), but still no joy. Finally I found I needed to add (setenv GPG_AGENT_INFO nil). Joy of joys I only had to type Richard Stallman... once. I went and had a cup of tea. When I got back I needed to open the org gpg file with all my passwords. I was prompted for my password. Since I had only opened the file a few minutes previously and gnupg-agent normally cached my passwords for a couple of hours, I was surprised. Further investigation revealed what many readers already know that setenv GPG_AGENT_INFO nil had disabled gnupg-agent. My password file is encrypted using public key encryption, not symmetric encryption, so I couldn't have password caching enabled for both types of encryption. I had to choose between typing in Richard Stallman has a very long beard or Wilkesley cows only produce white milk multiple times. Deep gloom descended. Suddenly a ray of sunshine illuminated the problem. What if I could persuade gnus to use public key encryption? A bit of digging in Emacs customization revealed I could do something like (setq auth-source-gpg-encrypt-to (quote (ABC124))), where ABC1234 is they key I use to encrypt my password file. This means that gnus and org both use public key encryption and I can now use gnupg-agent. So I only have to type in Wilkesley cows only produce white milk once and I can both read my email and open my passwords file. Happiness restored. Ian.

[O] Re: dates before 1970
Hi Carsten, orgers, * Carsten Dominik carsten.domi...@gmail.com [11. Mar. 2011]: I asked in emacs-develop and got: by Andreas Schwabon 2011-03-11T13:19:43+00:00. If your system's time-t is a signed 32-bit integer then your system is able to represent times between 1901-12-13 20:45:53 UTC and 2038-01-19 03:14:07 UTC. If your system's time-t is an unsigned 32-bit integer your system can represent times between 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC and 2106-02-07 06:28:15 UTC. Therefore it should be possible to either use a pre 1970 date or a post 2038 date, but: If I type (as Eric suggested in the starting message of this thread) C-c ! 1968-12-10 RET I get [2011-12-10 Sa] (same as Eric). But if I type C-c ! 2040 I get an error message specified time not representable. So for me it's neither--nor but in different ways. The second way of failing is much better because I get feedback.

Re: [O] Re: [Workaround] Escaping false list items
Here are 2 alternatives. The second, for me, is probably pretty bulletproof (pun intended after it was made :)). I like solution 2. Solution 1: Is it the case that you have text at the same column on the line before? Perhaps that could be considered invalid for lists. Of course there will still be problems with e.g. partial lists of references. And perhaps this will break people's habits. Not sure I like this solution, but thought to mention it. Solution 2: 1) I always start my lists at column 2, without exception. 2) I always have paragraphs at column 0, unless they are in a list or are manual insets (such as quotes). I am willing to put manual quotes some place other than column 2. All that's required is for the list code to (optionally): 1) start lists at column 2 2) never assume anything at column 0 is a list item Perhaps a combination of solutions would work.

If you have emacs, you should already have the Emacs Lisp Intro manual and the Elisp Reference manual. They should be as close as C-h i. If you build your own emacs, they are certainly there. If you depend on a distro to provide your emacs, they may have decided to split things up and you might have to install some emacs-doc package.
