It indents correctly text when using visual-line-mode; 2. It removes the idle timer previous implementation was using, which means it won't refresh indentation more often than necessary. Unfortunately, there is a price to pay: 1. Initialization will be much longer for large Org files, but I've added a message to the user saying so. 2. It is a bit slower, as the algorithm has more things to check. Last point is obviously my main concern. Although not noticeable on my not-so-recent laptop, I don't know how it behaves on old machines. That's why a testing is necessary to determine (bugs and) if it is usable. Any help welcome. initial testing seems to show that this works well, very nice. The delay at the beginning is long, and it might be annoying when org pulls in a buffer just to look something up, without org-inhibit-startup scoped into the file loading. Maybe one could arrange for the initialization to happen just before the buffer is first *displayed* (I do not know if that is possible). Just one nitpicking: The idle timer may force updating when not necessary - but using after-change-functions will update after each character inserted. So in fact your code might be updating more often at least while typing - maybe not while looking at the buffer and jumping around. I am not a fast typist, but maybe fast typists will notice significant delays, in particular while writing inside a very long section? Regards - Carsten

I use 64-bit Linux on an x86-64 laptop and my time_t is 64 bits (but I don't know if it's signed or unsigned). Time for some experimentation I guess...

On Sun, Mar 13, 2011 at 01:30, Aankhen aank...@gmail.com wrote: I’ve been working on getting org-mode to automatically clock into an item’s ancestor when clocking out of that item. The way I have it set up now, it walks up the tree looking for an item that has a particular property set. If that property is non-nil, it clocks in; if it’s nil, it doesn’t. Either way, it stops looking at that point. Here’s what I have so far: [snip] So given this structure: [snip] When I clock out of ‘Frob’, I’m automatically clocked into ‘Quux’, and when I clock out of ‘Quux’, I’m automatically clocked into ‘Bar’. This works pretty well, except for one problem: it happens *every time* I clock out, meaning that if I’m clocked into ‘Quux’ and I then hit C-c C-x C-i on ‘Frob’, I end up being clocked into both ‘Bar’ and ‘Frob’, because I’m automatically clocked out of ‘Quux’; my code is run, clocking me into ‘Bar’; and then the normal clocking mechanism clocks me into ‘Frob’ (at least, I *think* the hook runs first). I guess what I’m wondering is, what’s a good way to avoid this double-clocking? And while I’m asking for help, can anyone think of some less obnoxious names for the functions, variables and property? :-) I think I managed to answer the first question myself. As ‘org-clock-in’ sets ‘org-clock-clocking-in’ before calling ‘org-clock-out’, checking the value of that variable before clocking into the parent item seems to have done the trick. Aankhen

[O] bug killing regions with links
If I have an org entry with a line containing only an org file: link, if I C-space at the start of the line to set mark, down arrow or C-n and then kill-region with C-w I would expect the entire line and link text to be copied to the clipboard and the line deleted (transient mode enabled). As it is it only deletes part of the link syntax leaving a corrupted link - it seems to only kill the description part of the link object and its closing bracket, not its opening one. Of course a workaround is C-k but I'm kind of hard coded to kill lines into the clipboard and I suspect the bug is probably larger than only links on a single line. regards r.

[O] Re: [Patch] HTML export -- Allow to change the name of the global DIV
Bastien b...@altern.org writes: Are there other hardcoded HTML classes/ids that the user might want to customize? If so, can we think about a simple way to define all of them at once? The id/class values are hardcoded in several different places and generated in different ways in org-html.el, so I think the only practical solution, for now, would be to create variables for each one (or perhaps an alist that encompasses all of them). [Slightly OT dreaming] Over the long-term, it would be nice to give the user a simple way to control not only classes and ids, but also the placement of structural divs and other tags. Perhaps we could develop some sort of templating system, allowing the user to create an custom html skeleton which is then fleshed out with data from the org file. The user might then customize which tags, if any, should enclose, say, a level one outline tree. Properties and tags in an org file might be used to specify the use of alternate templates within particular sections of the document. This would have several benefits: 1. It would allow users to export html to an arbitrary tag structure. One might, for instance, create static pages that conform to the structure/styling of an existing web site. Or one might have different types of pages within a single, org-generated website. 2. It would allow simple, clean html when exporting small snippets. Currently, when calling C-u M-x org-export-region-as-html, the output contains a number of hard-coded divs, classes, and ids. This makes it difficult to integrate such snippets into another html file. div id=outline-container-1 class=outline-2 h2 id=sec-1A section /h2 div class=outline-text-2 id=text-1 p Some text. /p/div /div 3. It would allow users to try out the new html5 tags (section, article, nav, etc.). 4. It would offer more consistent customization. At the moment, certain tags can be customized (e.g., table tags) but other elements (e.g., lists) cannot be. 5. It would make it easier to create html that works with existing scripts (such as the s5 presentation system [1]). My guess is that such configuration would depend on your rewrite of the exporting parser. It would indeed be wonderful if at some point the export engine returned a generic data structure that could then be plugged into a modular templating system. That said, an org file is a *complex* thing, and the exporter already produces very nice html. :) Best, Matt Footnotes: [1] http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/

[O][Babel] Deep interest in LP feature of org-mode
Hello all, this starts with kind of an introduction to the list as I will post more in future and leads to a few concept questions concerning org-babel-detangle at the end. First of all many thanks to the authors of the babel package! Integrating babel into core orgmode made me discovering it. This comes to the right time because I'm very interested in Literate Programming and have to leave my beloved LP tool. I use LP techniques when putting scripts coded in different languages together to solve a certain task, as it is normal when creating media output with a collection of different command line tools. LP helps me to present code sniplets of different languages together in one place according to the concept for solving the task, totally ignoring needed position in procedural code files. So later adding a feature is easy as participated code parts are still in one place, no need to search through the diverse script files. I worked with funnelweb (http://www.ross.net/funnelweb/) which is really nice because of its very precise syntax (one can put together binary data with tangeling), simplicity of concept, expressive error messages, stability in performance and scalability. But I have to leave that behind because UTF-8 is not supported and I'm no C programmer, so I can't help myself to adapt that tool. (for rewriting the engine in emacs-lisp I'm unfortunately not smart enough) So this weekend I started to explore org-babel for my purposes. I played a little bit around with changing a .fw-Script so that it works as an .org-Script with babel-blocks. After hacking in the macro-expansion I was able to tangle the files identical to former .fw-output. Changing the org-file to add features or change some code was really fun! Needed org-syntax for that is simple enough, possibility of inherited tree properties to store the header arguments is great. Performance looks good to me, although the file I played with was not that big. So I look forward to work on with org-babel and especially have interest to benefit from org-babel-detangle. At the moment that is not working for me because of it's lack of supporting nested src_blocks (using noweb syntax). I read the posted suggestion for a kind of spidering version of org-babel-detangle (thanks to Seth Burleigh ). There occur some questions to me as I'm not that intimate with the concepts behind org-babel at the moment. * How would one handle conflicts? (e.g. different changes in tangled code which all reference to one begin_src block) * Is it possible to provide functionality like the org-mode macro expansion mechanism? (How to distinguish macro-expanded values from changed code) * Would it be possible to take over more org-mode export features into src-blocks (calculating, calling blocks inside blocks) And, more in general: * When thinking of LP (preprocessing text) with org-mode it's hard for me to compare the pros and cons of exporting the org-file to ascii vs. tangling it to code-file. * Is it possible, that I use the wrong approach with org-babel when I only need text processing features !! Of course, using src blocks to call extern interpreter over several code blocks and keeping the same session is really a great thing !! The document provided on the website is very impressive. ( http://repo.or.cz/w/Worg.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/org-contrib/babel/examples/foo.pdf ) * Where is the right place to discover more about org-babel: http://orgmode.org or http://eschulte.github.com/babel-dev/ ? or both ? * Where are the latest code changes offered? Greetings, Olaf
Re: [O][Babel] tangle - kind of macro expansion inside src blocks?
Hello Olaf,
I've just added a new hook through which you will be able to expand
regular Org-mode style macros in code block bodies during export. The
following org-mode snippet demonstrates its use.
First, add macro expansion to the new `org-babel-tangle-body-hook'.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
(add-hook 'org-babel-tangle-body-hook
(lambda () (org-export-preprocess-apply-macros)))
#+end_src
Then define the macro. Note: you may need to export the buffer before
tangling so that the macro definition is noticed and processed by
Org-mode.
#+MACRO: CONFIG_PARAM01 45
Then on both export and tangling the macro in the following code block
will be replaced.
#+begin_src sh :tangle yes
echo org-mode set CONFIG_PARAMETER to: {{{CONFIG_PARAM01}}}
#+end_src
Cheers -- Eric

After hacking in the macro-expansion I was able to tangle the files identical to former .fw-output. Changing the org-file to add features or change some code was really fun! Needed org-syntax for that is simple enough, possibility of inherited tree properties to store the header arguments is great. Performance looks good to me, although the file I played with was not that big. So I look forward to work on with org-babel and especially have interest to benefit from org-babel-detangle. At the moment that is not working for me because of it's lack of supporting nested src_blocks (using noweb syntax). I read the posted suggestion for a kind of spidering version of org-babel-detangle (thanks to Seth Burleigh ). There occur some questions to me as I'm not that intimate with the concepts behind org-babel at the moment. * How would one handle conflicts? (e.g. different changes in tangled code which all reference to one begin_src block) There is currently no mechanism in place for handling conflicts, rather the contents from the tangled source file simply overwrites the contents of the code block. This would severely impede the utility of de-tangling for code blocks making use of variable noweb or macro expansion. While it should be possible to implement a sane handling of such things (as has been discussed previously WRT noweb) the implementation will not be a trivial task. * Is it possible to provide functionality like the org-mode macro expansion mechanism? (How to distinguish macro-expanded values from changed code) See my recent email for an implementation of macro expansion. The resolution of expanded macros when detangling code would not be easy... * Would it be possible to take over more org-mode export features into src-blocks (calculating, calling blocks inside blocks) Not sure exactly what you mean here, could you provide a concrete example? And, more in general: * When thinking of LP (preprocessing text) with org-mode it's hard for me to compare the pros and cons of exporting the org-file to ascii vs. tangling it to code-file. These should be different use cases. Exporting (weaving in LP syntax) is generally for creating a document view for reading by humans, while tangling to source code is for organizing a document for consumption by machine. * Is it possible, that I use the wrong approach with org-babel when I only need text processing features That is possible, if you only need text-processing, then you probably shouldn't be calling code blocks, rather you should simply type into an Org-mode buffer and then export to your desired back-end, and let Org-mode handle all formatting. See the relevant part of the Org-mode manual http://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting.html !! Of course, using src blocks to call extern interpreter over several code blocks and keeping the same session is really a great thing !! The document provided on the website is very impressive. (http://repo.or.cz/w/Worg.git/blob_plain/HEAD:/org-contrib/babel/examples/foo.pdf) * Where is the right place to discover more about org-babel: http://orgmode.org or

Footnotes in tables are difficult. Even if you leave out org completely and
just look at latex, things are far from simple. There is a FAQ and an answer on
this topic here:
http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=footintab
As you can see, things are not simple even if you write in latex. None of this
is implemented in org.
Best advice: don't use footnotes in tables. If you have to use them, add them
in a post-export pass, possibly by formatting the table outside of org and
including it from a separate file.

Re: [O][Babel] Deep interest in LP feature of org-mode
Thank you for your quick reply and the precise answers, Eric. Comparing org-export vs. org-tangle I've mixed up how I used text processing: * for myself I often use it simply for creating codefiles (tangling) - org-export would be sufficient * for tasks in office there is need for creating a nice doc file, too (weaving) - org-babel for code creation Thank you for making that clear to me. I will revisit my nebulous feature request of calling blocks inside blocks - there is no actual need, as you identified. Greetings, Olaf

I have a very simple calendar ORG file set up. A couple of the items have recurring days set to 90d. Like ** Do something periodically 2011-01-15 Sat +90d When I activate the agenda timeline, I see the first one of these (in January) but none of the other scheduled events show up. (I have other scheduled items to create a calendar that goes out further than the 90 days). If I view this in the regular weekly agenda, using f to step through the weeks, the item does show up. If I change the setting to +1w, I see several more entries, but not one for every week. Some weeks are skipped. It seems hit and miss. I haven't been able to establish the exact pattern, but it appears that I can not depend on recurring items to show up in the timeline. Has anyone else seen this?

Hi Eric,
thank you very much, it works as announced.
I have probs with replacing/overlaying the built-in org-mode in my Emacs
(w32-binary),
but that's not issue here.
After an eval-buffer of ob-tangle.el I can reproduce the expected result.

Hello Olaf,
I've just added a new hook through which you will be able to expand
regular Org-mode style macros in code block bodies during export. The
following org-mode snippet demonstrates its use.
First, add macro expansion to the new `org-babel-tangle-body-hook'.
#+begin_src emacs-lisp :results silent
(add-hook 'org-babel-tangle-body-hook
(lambda () (org-export-preprocess-apply-macros)))
#+end_src
Then define the macro. Note: you may need to export the buffer before
tangling so that the macro definition is noticed and processed by
Org-mode.
#+MACRO: CONFIG_PARAM01 45
Then on both export and tangling the macro in the following code block
will be replaced.
#+begin_src sh :tangle yes
echo org-mode set CONFIG_PARAMETER to: {{{CONFIG_PARAM01}}}

I would like to replace config parameter in begin_src...end_src blocks.
Change at one place in org-file shall change values in tangled code-files.
I helped myself with an ugly hack in org-babel-tangle,
so that following lines work for me at the moment.
#+MACRO CONFIG_PARAM01 45
#+begin_src sh :tangle file1.sh

(this is an example only - the language which I tangle to is not good at
local vars support,
so using $CONFIG_PARAMETER inside tangled code is no solution to me)
But this is no solution, so I ask whether there is already some
functionality to do like this,
which will nicely fit into the aspects of different languages to be used
in src blocks.
Work of org-babel-detangle will be harder when using such a macro
functionality
(supported languages need inline comments, what to do with other? ).

[O] documentary filmmaking and reproducible research?
Greetings, org community. A while back I made two short (less than 10 minute) amateur documentary films. I used org-mode to outline everything, structure my notes and the many public domain texts/images I used, and coordinate the recording process for the voiceovers. I've also separately experimented with using org as an asset management system complete with binary attachments, Dublin Core metadata to keep track of (among other things) licensing information for assets used in video game development. I have some (somewhat disorganized) thoughts and references collected here: https://github.com/dto/ioforms/raw/master/ioforms.org I've just seen the documentary film Inside Job, and then watched it over again, and listened to the voiceover commentary of the film's director and producer. They discussed using many gigantic, complex Word and Excel documents to organize the data they needed to make the film, and apparently emailing these big MS Office files around the world to coordinate the deep research the team were doing right up until the film was finished. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inside_Job_(film) One of the most striking aspects of Inside Job is its effective use of animated diagrams with explanatory voiceover. By consistent use of terms, shapes, simple icons, and color-coding, the diagrams lead to some of the most effective moments of the film. Aside from many illustrative bar and line graphs, the filmmakers use block-and-arrow animations to explain the flows of money in what they call the securitization food chain. An important part of the film are network analyses (identifying single people who serve or have served on multiple corporate boards of directors, or who went from a board of directors to a position at a regulatory agency regulating the same corporations, or identifying groups of people who served together on the same boards, and so on. I wonder what it might have been like if something like Gephi (http://gephi.org) had been used instead of Microsoft Excel. Apparently now there is also some information on use of the R language at the New York Times' graphics department. http://www.r-bloggers.com/amanda-cox-on-how-the-new-york-times-graphics-department-uses-r/ And perhaps people here have read arguments that David X. Li's famous statistical formula had a part to play in the debacle. So, what do people think of assembling free software so that anyone can make reproducibly-researched, remixable, crowd-sourced documentary films? Or even just research papers with some really nice animations? :) And use org-publish to throw the source code of the documentary on the internet for inspection and criticism? I'm seeing a common theme, of how software tools (whether MS Office, or org and R) become involved in the process of creating and then communicating the results of research. The government is already using stuff like link analysis to get information about the general public (to identify connections between members of Wikileaks, Anonymous) but it might be interesting to try the reverse, and use software to connect people who can then cooperate and share information, and perhaps discover connections or groups (cells?) of individuals who are connected across networks in academe, government, corporations, non-governmental organizations, large media institutions, and so on. Of course it doesn't have to be Julian Assange type intrigue, it could just be another fun thing to do with Orgmode. What do you think?

Hi Eric, I've gone through your ob-maxima.el, and tried to re-work it to the point where it can be included into Org-mode -- mainly just switching to a couple of Babel best practices, and replacing some shell script munging with elisp munging.

Hi Andreas, The :exports results header argument is overriding the :results silent header argument, which IMO is desired behavior.

[O] Macro expansion in included files
Hi
Some time ago I was posting about a problem with macros in included
files - they will not expand.
Example with two files top.org and sub.org: macro in the included file
sub.org isn't expanded during export.
See the content of the example files below.
The patch fixes this so that the macro is expanded in both top.org and sub.org.
Setup:
org-mode: git master (head)
export top.org with org-export-as-html
I hope that the patch format is ok (git diff output) attached.
Best regards
Benny Simonsen

Re: [O] Publishing notes to a website
Kyle Sexton ks at mocker.org writes: I'm looking for advice on ways people are publishing their org notes to a website. So far I've looked at blorgit and it's really nice, but the dependency for a backend emacs session and running through sinatra makes me wary of putting it out on my server for the world. 1. What methods are people using to publish their org notes? 2. Anyone have sample sites that I can see what the output looks like? Kyle, I have been actually been working on a simple clean solution for writing in org-mode and keeping the file as org-mode. What I have come up with is a Textile like PHP class that translates org-mode files into HTML. It is still very very alpha and hope to release the code soon for people to look at, work and improve or completely scrap and take my idea and do it better. You can see it in action at http://toshine.org where I have built a simple flatfile CMS that reads .org files in a folder, reads the org-mode header, and creates menus, creates post titles, meta descriptions, dates etc and is then passed through my orgile php class that spits out HTML. My aim was to simply keep the files as org-mode and stick them in a folder and let the CMS deal with the rest. Also I didn't like the complexity of Jekyll http://jekyllrb.com/ installing ruby gems, YAML and all that. I have a single php file for the CMS and a single php file for the orgile class. The class is totally independent of the CMS, like textile and the textile class. If you look at the bottom of a website article you can see the .org file. I still have a lot to do and currently I have just added the features that I needed like basic HTML markup, footnotes and blockquotes. My aim really was to spend time writing my articles and throwing them into a folder. Most of the time I correct the file via Tramp in Emacs and don't have to republish anything as the file is just read. I have though added PHP cache_lite in my CMS so the pages are created as HTML via orgile but served as the cached HTML page. Saves PHP processing for pages that don't change the whole time. I just remove the page from cache if I make a edit later. Anyway have a look and just to say I am totally focused on staying, working and dealing only with org-mode files so I can concentrate on the writing. Hopefully orgile will become useful for people or at least spark some better programmers writing a better version of it. 'Mash http://toshine.org

So, I've set org-provide-todo-statistics to t and org-hierarchical-todo-statistics to nil. I use a TODO sequence to identify projects. That is, (setq org-todo-keywords '((sequence REVIEW(r) TODO(t) ACTIVE(a!) WAIT(w@) SOMEDAY(s) | DONE(d) CANCELED(c@)) (sequence OPEN(O@!) WIP(W!) PAUSED(P@!) | CLOSED(C@!)) (sequence PROJECT(p) | COMPLETED(x)) )) I then set level 1 headlines to be PROJECT and put [/] at the end of the headline. The hope is to see projects at a glance and get the fraction done too. All is as it should be, but for one thing. When I toggle or insert within a subtree, the headline for that project changes from PROJECT to ACTIVE if less than all tasks are done, and DONE if all tasks are done. Obviously, I want it to stay PROJECT. I've spent over an hour trying to figure this one out and I can't. Anyone got any advice? Cheers. Fil -- Filippo A. Salustri, Ph.D., P.Eng.

I can't answer that question, but if you care to try, the following should work as a temporary solution, until all this is cleared up: add (setq org-export-html-postamble p class=\author\Author: %a (%e)/p\np class=\date\Date: %d/p\np class=\creator\Generated by %c/p\n) to your .emacs and either restart emacs or evaluate the form (place the cursor after the closing paren and press `C-x C-e'); then export normally. In principle, I think this should work with a file option, but a few minutes of experimentation have not brought any happiness. See the documentation for the variable org-export-html-postamble-format for the %X escapes: , | %a stands for the author. | %e stands for the email(s). | %d stands for the date. | %c will be replaced by information about Org/Emacs. | %v will be replaced by `org-export-html-validation-link'. | | If you need to use a % character, you need to escape it | like that: %%. ` As for your previous email re. @b, the very latest git seems to have fixed that problem. But there is obviously some churn in the HTML export area. Your idea about going back to 7.4 might be the way to go for a little while until all this is cleared up. Nick
