Re: [O] would take more than an org-mode strip-down.
Hi James. If you do not grok text its unlikely you will appreciate a text editor. emacs is not just a text editor its an exceptionally powerful text editor -- a power which is likely to alienate you even more. So the best suggestion to someone who wishes to get into orgmode but finds text (and text editors) unpleasant is to give up on orgmode, just dig into emacs' simpler uses for a while and when a little more comfortable (with emacs) try org again. Hopefully then your questions will be more focused to this list and the answers will be more useful to you. That said, there is some merit in (some of) what you say. org is so many different things at the same time that for a noob to find one's way through the documentation to make his usecase work with minimum pain seems to be unnecessarily hard. The beginner's customization guide: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-customization-guide.html is of course a starting point. But I wonder if it would be possible to structure it into something like this outline so that different beginners could start at different places? * Brainstorming-n-outlining TAB and the basic structure navigation and editing features * Exporting and Publishing *** html export *** Odt export *** Web publishing *** Latex publishing *** Presentations * Lightweight options http://orgmode.org/worg/org-configs/org-customization-guide.html * Beamer * Babel *** For programming *** For teaching programming *** For doing science (R) *** For scientific publishing (R+Latex) * Time/project mgmt (GTD) *** Agenda *** Time tracking *** capture-archive *** Journalling *** org-habit * Tables and spreadsheets * Integration with other emacs uses *** gnus *** bbdb/ org-contacts *** firefox (org-protocol) *** graphics (R, ditaa...)

I would actually suggest to have a general introduction (what is org, what can it do, what are the principles of org) and then go into different usage scenarios and how to fulfill certain tasks. For example, I am using org-mode exclusively for literate programming and some document writing, but not for task management, calendar, email, etc. So at the beginning, I was really confused by the whole agenda and publishing stuff, until I realized, that I don't need it at all for what I am doing. And after looking at your suggested outline, it is going into that direction, but I would put e.g. Exporting and Publishing after the different usage scenarios. so: * Basic org ** what is it and what is it not ** what can it do ** principles and basics of org *** org capture * Usage scenarios ** Time Management *** calendar *** ... ** spreadsheets *** ... ** task manager ** literate programming *** general principles *** examples for different programming languages R sh ... I like the headings org for doing ..., but one has to be careful, that they do not end uop in repeating to many things - so subheadings as links to the relevant sections above would be quite useful.

[O] [patch] Add source subtree which will be refiled
Hello,
I found it difficult, sometimes, to remember which subtree we're gonna refile.
When TAB'ing for multiple targets, you loose your source buffer, and can
easily forget which exact subtree you had selected.
Here a patch to add the name of the subtree we're operating on.
Best regards,
Seb

[O] small docstring typo in org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift
Hi all, First, I've not been active on the list for some lengthy time. When last I was reporting small typos in the manual, Cartsen was still the chief maintainer and I just sent them to him directly. Please advise as to where such trivial doc bugs are best noted. Second, the docstring for org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift contains the phrase `I this way you can spell out a number of instances of a repeating task,'. Clearly, `I' ought be `In'. I suspect that the optimal way is to generate a patch against the documentation. If that's right and someone would point me to what I'd need to read to learn how to do so (I've never produced a patch before), I'd be happy to learn and do it that way henceforward.

If I don't use it, Emacs hangs forever - waiting for the session to return? If I use it, the right value is calculated, but not returned - because the eoe string is evaluated after the source-body? I assume you're using `org-babel-comint-with-output' to collect results? If you're still having issues I'd suggest looking at some of the other uses of this function in other ob-*.el files for example of ways that it's use can be customized through code in the BODY section. Thanks for any tips Thorsten Sorry, I encountered the undefined 'display' in source code I copied from ob-scheme, I deleted it, and then external evaluation succeeded - but again without output. Hopefully :results output is already working and it is just :results value which requires more work. results value external evaluation generally works by wrapping the body of the code block in a form which will collect the result of the code block and print them to STDOUT. Writing this wrapped body to a temporary file, evaluating this temporary file, and then collecting the results from STDOUT. I'd suggest confirming that each of the above steps are working independently. So I seem to be quite close, evaluation work and the right value is calculated - but not returned yet. I hope the above helps. Let me know if you run into any more issues. Cheers -- Eric cheers Thorsten -- Eric Schulte http://cs.unm.edu/~eschulte/

I am running org-mode 7.7 Who knows? org itself does not call appt-make-list from anywhere, so you have probably set up a hook somewhere to call it and forgotten all about it. soapbox It is one of the ambitions of my life (and I'm sure that ambition is shared by several people on this list) to train everybody to get a backtrace *first* after they get an error - do not post to the list, do not pass GO, do not collect USD200 until you have the backtrace in hand.[fn:1] Often, the backtrace tells enough so you can fix the problem without any further ado, but even if you cannot or do not want to read backtraces, the people on the list who are able/willing to look at the problem find them very useful: trust me on that. So pretty please: when you get an error, *at the very least*, do M-x toggle-debug-on-error and then try to reproduce the error. That will give you the required backtrace. For extra points, reload uncompiled org and then try to reproduce the error: the resulting backtrace is more informative with uncompiled code. /soapbox In your case, app-make-list is defined in appt.el and if you visit the file, you will see at the very bottom that it does (provide 'appt) which means that you can load the file and therefore define the function by inserting (require 'appt) somewhere in your initialization file. But I think of this as solving the problem by peeking at the solutions in the back of the book: wouldn't you want to find out what caused the problem in the first place? Cheers, Nick Footnotes: [fn:1] But if you try and fail, which happens sometimes, feel free to say so in your post. I don't want to dissuade anybody from asking a question: I just want to expedite the process of getting to the answer.
[O] permanent LaTeX preview
Hi, Is it possible to stop rendered (with C-c C-x C-l) formulas from reverting back to LaTeX source in case of: 1. Pressing C-c C-x C-l to render a formula in other part of the document. All other formulas revert to LaTeX code in that case. 2. Pressing C-c C-c to, for instance, evaluate some babel block. In this particular case it looks like I need to reassign the C-c C-c keybinding used to remove the images, but I don't know which function is called to achieve that. In the both cases the images get replaced by the LaTeX source. What I want is to keep the images at all times, and revert only an image I want to edit LaTeX code for. Thanks Alex
Re: [O] Capture from terminal command line?
Nathan Neff nathan.n...@gmail.com writes: I'm looking for a way to capture notes from a terminal, without having to jump over to emacs. In the past, I simply append the text from the command line to my ~/refile.org file, but if I have emacs running and have a modified ~/refile.org buffer, then I run into complications. I think that a good way would be to have a bash script that tells emacs to run one of the org-capture functions, along with the newly entered text from the command line. Can anyone point me to the right function to call? If you have your emacs running a server [1], then you can easily connect from without using emacsclient.

[O] FR: Output to online comments
More of an invitation to brainstorm. It isn't clear what HTML tags are allowed in Blogger comments and in other online places, but ASCII, of course works. We might get away with a limited HTML that only produces a few tags. Another option is unfilled paragraphs in ASCII. Neither is ideal, but might be convenient for online comments. The problem is that columns are often too narrow for filled paragraphs, so the result is formatted incorrectly. They need to be unfilled. I wonder if there could be an ASCII export option for unfilling filled paragraphs. It would have to be as a separate backend. For email, filled paragraphs (i.e. hard newlines) are often better. Any solution might be imperfect, but it might be better than manual editing.
