[O] Captions for src and example blocks

[Christian Wittern]

Dear Orgmoders,

There was a thread last April about a way to introduce captions and
labels to src and example blocks (see
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-04/msg00877.html).
 Now I would like to use captions in a similar way, but not just for
LaTex, but also for the ODT export.  So a generic org-mode solution
would be much more helpful. I wonder if somebody has any idea about
how to achieve this.

Greetings,  Chris

Hello.

Is it possible to specify "every second Friday of each month at 15:43" date?

 I am using 24.0.92 and I have no problems at all (just tried right
 now).

 One difference, however, could be the window configurations we
 use.  Specifically, I have

       (setq org-src-window-setup (quote current-window))

Folks, I still think that the fact that buffer-file-name is not nil is
a bug and should be fixed.  If I'm wrong, can someone point out why
this is so?

I have seen many functions that test whether or not a buffer is
visiting a file by checking buffer-file-name.  For instance, if I
wanted to enable autosave for org-src buffers, it would break since my
make-auto-save-file-name checks whether a file is being visited.

Re: [O] Bug: ob-clojure.el depends on deprecated swank-clojure [7.7]

[Eric Schulte]

OK, I've just pushed up this change, please do test it out locally on
some more code blocks and let me know if you run into any more problems.

 The only function ob-clojure uses from swank-clojure is
 `swank:interactive-eval-region' (used with `slime-eval') in the
 `org-babel-execute:clojure' function.  Which function would now be used
 to evaluate a region of clojure code?  Would `slime-eval-region'

 Phil Hagelberg has said that the swank-clojure elisp package has been
 deprecated and should not be used [1]. My version of ob-clojure.el
 requires swank-clojure. If I don't have the swank-clojure package, I
 get "org-babel-execute:clojure:Cannot open load file: swank-clojure".
 If I follow the instructions at [2] and get the swank-clojure package,
 I get past this error. Is org using a deprecated package, and is this

Re: [O] Bug: ob-clojure.el depends on deprecated swank-clojure [7.7]

[Eric Schulte]

Alright,

if you load ob-clojure.el and then evaluate the following to over-ride
the existing definition of `org-babel-execute:clojure' does clojure code
evaluation work?

(defun org-babel-execute:clojure (body params)
  "Execute a block of Clojure code with Babel."
  (require 'slime)
  (with-temp-buffer
(insert (org-babel-expand-body:clojure body params))
((lambda (result)
   (let ((result-params (cdr (assoc :result-params params
 (if (or (member "scalar" result-params)
 (member "verbatim" result-params))
 result
   (condition-case nil (org-babel-script-escape result)
 (error result)
 (slime-eval
  `(swank:eval-and-grab-output
,(buffer-substring-no-properties (point-min) (point-max)))
  (cdr (assoc :package params))

[O] How to include section in exported Latex file, but not in table of contents

[Viktor Rosenfeld]

Hi,

I would like to include an entry of my org file in the exported Latex
file, but I would like the entry to be skipped in the table of contents.

In other words, I would like to reproduce the behavior of Latex commands
like \section* and so on. Is this at all possible?

I tried EXPORT_OPTIONS: toc:nil in a property drawer below the entry,
but that didn't work out.

Thanks,
Viktor

I can see that point. I guess I was just surprised given the org-mode
default.

Perhaps it is just a preference with the look. I don't mind having them
"closed in" by ascii rules. In any case, what probably *shouldn't* happen
are double rules if someone by habit puts rules on their org table with |-.
That's the current behavior.

John

Disclaimer: I did not test this at all, but am interested in a convenient 
booktabs support, too.

I think it is reasonable to put the top and bottom rules automatically, as 
booktabs somewhat defines that as the intended look.  So it would be redundant 
to require a |- on top and bottom for all tables on the org side.  I even 
think that org tables with top and bottom rules do not look good, because the 
vertical lines do not stop at the horizontal lines (from a visual point of 
view).  This way it looks like is a very small empty table line above and 
below the table.

[O] Some more org-mode shirts

[heathmatlock]

I became distracted from real work last night and created some org-mode shirts:

http://open.spreadshirt.com

As an aside so people don't wrongly assume this is spam and that it's
an attempt to earn a lot of money, I earn $1 per shirt sold, and have
sold 9 shirts in 6 months (was just 6 until this was mentioned on
reddit last night). The graphic files are at
http://www.github.com/heath if you want to improve or make your own.

Cheers fellow org-mode users!

Another possibility is to mark it DONE at the end of the semester and

[O] Old entry remains in appt when the original one in org file is changed

[Takafumi Arakaki]

I am using org-agenda-to-appt and I noticed a bug.


1. Add the following in the agenda file

* TODO test
  SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>

2. Call org-agenda-to-appt

3. Change the SCHEDULED time-stamp in the entry like this

* TODO test
  SCHEDULED: <2012-01-14 Sat 12:00>

4. appt-time-msg-list has the old entry

 ((1380)
  #("12:00 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
  t)
 ((1390)
  #("12:10 TODO test" 6 15
(org-heading t))
  t)


I guess a workaround will be removing any entries which has
org-heading as property from appt-time-msg-list before adding the new
entries.

I think this guy had the same problem:

That is, unless there's situations where someone would want some
combination of regular \hlines mixed with booktabs top and bottom rules?

On a usage note, I was surprised that the patch causes automatic insertion
of top and bottom rules even when the org table doesn't use ascii
top/bottom rules. In fact, if you use "|-" to put ascii rules on an org
chart using this patch, you get double rules.

Just some input from playing with the package a bit.

Re: [O] Question about repeating events.

[Sam Auciello]

Thanks, I was confused by the distinction between scheduled items and
appointments but you've cleared this up.  What I was thinking would be
cluttered was if I just used the <.. +1w> syntax and I was looking at my
agenda for next semester (when the class is over) then the agenda would be
cluttered with events that weren't meant to be there.  This link:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#org-class, looks to be just what I
needed.

Thanks,

Peace

Hi NIels,

I am looking now at this patch, and maybe it would be better to implement these 
three variables as one, holding a property or association list?  Makes it 
easily extendable.

Equally important - it would be great if you could try to implement this same 
change in the new exporter engine from Nicolas, to ensure that the new exporter 
will not lag behind.

Re: [O] funny problem for table of contents when publishing org-latex with #+INCLUDE other.org

This bug also occured to me, I could reproduce it with the following files
using org-mode 7.7 and 7.8.03:

test.org:
--
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: Foo Bar

start

#+INCLUDE inc.org

end
--

inc.org:
--
inc

* Foo

bar
--

The relevant part of the exported latex document is:

--
\begin{document}

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}
\section{Foo}
\label{sec-1}


bar

\end{document}
--

Everything is removed between the start of the document and the first section
of the included file.

A workaround is to add a non-exported section to the main file:

test2.org:
--
#+TITLE: Test
#+AUTHOR: Foo Bar

start

* :NOEXPORT:

#+INCLUDE inc.org

end
--

In this case the latex export looks like:

test2.tex:
--
\begin{document}

\maketitle

\setcounter{tocdepth}{3}
\tableofcontents
\vspace*{1cm}

start

\section{Foo}
\label{sec-1}


bar


end

\end{document}
--

This workaround is not perfect, though, the part before the first section
in the included file is still missing.

> a, No table of contents in latex file, IF index.org is below,

The table of contents remained in the exported document in all cases for me.

Brilliant! This is fantastic. I love that you can leave it alone (default)

Not at all; definitely the right place.  However, I would suggest you
search the mailing list first before asking as your question has come up
umpteen times before!  It's also answered on Worg.

I do the latter (copy with time shift) and have been doing so for quite
a while.  I find this is quite appropriate for schedules like this as it
allows one to "miss" the odd entry (e.g. study/reading week or class
cancelled for whatever reason).

I am not sure what you mean by saying that it makes the agenda
cluttered?  The result is the same in the agenda view: an entry for each
day/time a class is scheduled.  I also do not understand your reference
to marking anything done!  This is not a TODO item, it is an
appointment.

I think it's worthwhile distinguishing between appointments (which
*have* to take place at the appointed time) and scheduled work (i.e. a
/task/ which you intend to do at a certain time but which may end up
being done earlier or later).  The latter is a TODO item; the former is
not.  The latter will remain in the agenda view until it is marked done
whereas the former only appears on the time+day indicated.

I hope this makes some sort of sense...

   org-columns-compute-all: Buffer is read-only: #

If I make the file writable, org-columns works but, of course, does not
actually modify the file.

I'll check these out. Looked at the worg howto. Not a huge fan of the
method, especially with hiding my tables, but I'll give it a shot. I figure
there's got to be a simpler way; just change the first \hline -> \toprule
and the bottom one to \bottomrule; \midrules in between.

Thanks again,
John

Pursuing this, to the un-trained eye (mine), the ODT code being

Interesting.  It must have something to do with the extra settings you
have for that template.  My template is:

("s" "secure" entry (file+datetree+prompt "~/git/notes/secure.org.gpg")
 "* %(format-time-string \"%H:%M\") %^{Entry} %^G\n%i%?")

I have just tested it (hadn't added a secure entry in a while) and it
works just fine.  This is with emacs snapshot (most recent) and org from
last night my time (see signature for version).

Maybe try without the PROPERTY etc. bits you have in your template?

Hi Eric,

I don't know if this may help but I do something similar.  In my case,
my file is named "secure.org.gpg".  Maybe try "journal.org.gpg" in your
case, i.e. add the ".org" element?

[O] [bug] Tables in lists not exported to ODT

[Eric S Fraga]

Hello,

I am trying to export a document which includes small tables within a
list.  The export to PDF via Latex works perfectly.  However, when I
export to ODT, the tables simply disappear.

Attached is a simple example to illustrate the effect, both org and odt
files.

I have looked at the documentation but have not seen any caveat related
to tables.  Have I missed something or is this a bug?

Thanks,
eric

[O] Writing an new org entry to a .gpg file - ends up in .org file instead

[Richard Riley]

I have an org template set up like this and frequently use the journal
option


,
| (setq org-capture-templates '(("t" "Todo" entry
|  (file+headline "" "Tasks To Refile")
|  "* TODO %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: 
%T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| ("c" "Contacts" entry (file "~/Org/contacts.org")
|  "* %(org-contacts-template-name)
| :PROPERTIES:
| :EMAIL: %(org-contacts-template-email)
| :END:")
| ("j" "Journal" entry
|  (file+datetree "journal.gpg")
|  "* %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: 
%T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| ("n" "Quick note to refile later" entry
|  (file+headline "" "Notes To Refile")
|  "* %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: 
%T\n\t:END:\n%i\n%a")
| ("w" "web capture" entry
|  (file "refile.org")
|  "* %a %?\n\t:PROPERTIES:\n\t:DateCreated: 
%T\n\t:END:n%i")))
`

Notice the journal.gpg which has a first line :

,
| ;;-*- mode:org -*- epa-file-encrypt-to: ("rile...@gmail.com") -*-
`

so I can open the file in org mode just fine.

So far so good, but when I C-c C-c the new journal item its being
written to journal.org instead of journal.gpg.

I'm guessing I missed something in my browse of the manual, but what?

cheers

C-h c C-c C-q runs the command org-set-tags-command.
org-set-tags-command calls org-set-tags. Looking through org-set-tags in
org.el, there's a part starting with a comment:

;; Get a new set of tags from the user
...
  (let ((org-add-colon-after-tag-completion t))
(org-trim
 (org-icompleting-read "Tags: "
   'org-tags-completion-function
   nil nil current 
'org-tags-history))
...

So, I guess org-icompleting-read is, what you are looking for.
