[O] special status for state-log plain list elements?

[Eric Abrahamsen]

Is there any chance of building slightly on org-element's parsing of
plain-lists, so that it lists which represent state logs are somehow
noted as such? I'm imagining that `org-element-plain-list-parser' could
be augmented to provide a (:log t) property, or if we accept that
state-log lists are always unordered, the :type property could even just
be 'log.

For that it might be nice if list items knew if they were state-change
notes (State "WAIT" from "TODO", etc) or plain notes (Note taken on...
etc).

It's probably feature creep! But it would make some interesting things
easier. My most immediate use-case would be a function in the Agenda
which shows the most recent state log of the item under point. That way
you could see what an item was WAITing on, or what you're actually
supposed to do NEXT, and so on.

And, in the back of my head, I've always felt that Org should be able to
do arbitrary value logging -- sort of a generalization of org-clock.
That would be a project for a very rainy day indeed, but this would be a
bit of the groundwork done.

Anyway, let me know if this would be acceptable in principle (and to
what extent), and I can take a stab at a patch.

[O] bug in exporter (org-babel-exp-process-buffer)

[Charles Berry]

The use of `org-confirm-babel-evaluate' as a function breaks inline src 
blocks just as was described in this thread from last year:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-11/msg00669.html

I believe that the patch by Eric Schulte in 


===
commit 6a4dfd318296925b3b895ca6ab85e31309acf84d
Author: Eric Schulte 
Date:   Sat Nov 23 12:24:34 2013 -0700


fixed export of inline src blocks

* lisp/ob-exp.el (org-babel-exp-non-block-elements): Fixed export of
  inline src blocks.
===

did the right thing back then, but the function to which it was applied was
removed later on,

I think org-babel-exp-process-buffer took over the work of the 
removed function.

I believe that Eric's patch or something like it would fix the current 
problem in org-babel-exp-process-buffer:

   (inline-src-block
-   (let* ((info (org-babel-parse-inline-src-block-match))
+   (let* ((head (match-beginning 0))
+  (info (append (org-babel-parse-inline-src-block-match)
+(list nil nil head)))
   (params (nth 2 info)))
  (setf (nth 1 info)

Can this be fixed, please?

Thanks,

Chuck

Hi Grant,

Since org-structure-template-alist is defined in org.el, you could
modify it after org.el loads:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (eval-after-load "org"
'(progn
   ;; modify org-structure-template-alist here
  ))
#+END_SRC

Best,

Jorge.

[O] When is the right time to modify the contents of org-structure-template-alist?

[Grant Rettke]

Hi,

Wanting to modify the contents of org-structure-template-alist I had
this code run at startup after org was required:

(mapc (lambda (asc)
(let ((org-sce-dc (downcase (nth 1 asc
  (setf (nth 1 asc) org-sce-dc)))
  org-structure-template-alist)

That didn't modify the list, though.

When I run that code after Emacs is started up, it works as expected.

I tried putting that code in the org mode hook too, with the same result.

Suspect my ignorance is catching up with me.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong here?

FWIW, there was a call to recenter which was removed recently (less than
four weeks ago -- see
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/86259) from org-overview.
I guess that should fix the reported bug but it's hard to tell without a
backtrace.

There's another one in org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol which might be related
(at least it has bitten me) :

(defsubst org-fix-ellipsis-at-bol ()
  (save-excursion (goto-char (window-start)) (recenter 0)))

(I have no idea how this is supposed to fix "ellipsis at bol".)

Re: [O] babel setup

[Shiyuan]

For me, without the setup step, python/latex doesn't work by default. `C-c
C-c`  gives me the error :
org-babel-execute-src-block: No org-babel-execute function for latex!

But with the setup step, `C-c C-c` works now.

Yes. Putting (package-initialize) immediately before the
(org-babel-do-load-languages

Maybe using version= instead of string-equal to compare version string

Because Org doesn't allow it. Anyway, it doesn't make sense to use
SCHEDULED here: "scheduled" has a special meaning in Org. You don't
_start_ working on a task every day. You could use plain timestamps.

It is probably because you don't need it. Syntax wise, SCHEDULED,
DEADLINE and CLOSED can only appear once, on the line right after the

I guess if you do not plan to do start working on the task you should
not put the SCHEDULED and just a simple timestamp. But if you plan to
work on a task every day of the week, why shouldn't you be able to do it
this way? It does work, btw. Is it because it can conflict with changing
TODO states?

Also related, if you want it to repeat in your agenda only for a certain
period, look at org-class. For example, while I was a student I had used
things like

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
%%(org-class 2013 1 7 2013 4 27 2) 12:00pm-01:15pm The name of the class
%%(org-class 2013 1 7 2013 4 27 4) 12:00pm-01:15pm The name of the class
#+END_SRC

for classes that were Tuesday and Thursday. It was also under a single
headline. Is this, or several simple timestamps under a single headline
also bad syntax?

I should have checked the manual :-(


(info "(org) Repeated tasks")

Last paragraph points to

`C-c C-x c' (`org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift')
 Clone a subtree by making a number of sibling copies of it.  You
 will be prompted for the number of copies to make, and you can
 also specify if any timestamps in the entry should be shifted.
 This can be useful, for example, to create a number of tasks
 related to a series of lectures to prepare.  For more details, see
 the docstring of the command `org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift'.

This is not valid syntax. A given headline cannot have more than one

IIRC, you can't have repeaters on diary sexps. You can add five
identical entries (except for starting date) with a +1w repeater - see
e.g.

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/7294/focus=7296

I think there is an easy way to do that but I can't put my finger on it

Assuming that CANCELLED is a DONE state - see

  (info "(org) workflow states")

for details - the above should work for CANCELLED as well. E.g.

--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+TODO: TODO | DONE CANCELLED
* TODO foo
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>

* DONE bar
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>

* CANCELLED baz
SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon>
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

then the agenda shows all three if org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done is
nil, but shows only `foo' if it is set to t.

As a more general question, should the default be t for all three of the
org-agenda-skip-*-if-done variables? It seems that most people prefer
that behaviour. Perhaps we have gone around this before, but I didn't
check the archives.

[O] Links Drawer

[Leonard Randall]

Hi all,
In a few functions that I use for organizing my research, I use links
drawers. This enables me to write functions that automatically insert links
in all entries matching particular criteria, or insert links directly from
the headline or anywhere else in the entry. To do this I wrote a couple of
functions. The first function is nearly identical to
org-insert-properties-drawer (I only changed a bit of regexp). It simply
inserts a LINKS drawer near the top of the entry below any clocking,
scheduling, or deadline or PROPERTIES info. It is not for interactive use.
The the other searches for a links drawer in the current entry and inserts
one if none is found. It  then inserts a link in the drawer using
org-insert-link.


Anyway I thought they might be useful for others, and I wondered if people
thought that they should be part of org-mode.  Here is the code. Don't
hesitate to give any suggestions.


(defun my-org-insert-links-drawer ()
  "Insert a links drawer near the beginning of the current entry.
Inserts drawer near beginning of entry after scheduling, deadline
and clocking info and after standard logging, property and clock
drawers."
  (org-back-to-heading t)
  (looking-at org-outline-regexp)
  (let ((indent (if org-adapt-indentation
(- (match-end 0) (match-beginning 0))
  0))
(beg (point))
(re (concat "^[ \t]*" org-keyword-time-regexp))

Re: [O] babel setup

[psycho_punch]

Yes, I had the same problem earlier (see the thread on required
'ox-publish). Here's what I did:

First, I noticed that the packages get loaded only after initialization, so
I put my org-related initialization script in the after-init-hook. Then
after other people here told me about (package-initialize), I just placed
it somewhere in the beginning of my emacs initialization script, and it
worked as well.

I also removed a similar script for setting up babel since I noticed my
installation works without it anyway. I think those languages are supported
by default.

You could add five entries like this:

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
* Test
  SCHEDULED: <2014-06-09 Mon +1w>
  SCHEDULED: <2014-06-10 Tue +1w>

  SCHEDULED: <2014-06-12 Thu +1w>
  SCHEDULED: <2014-06-13 Fri +1w>
#+END_SRC

Then "Test" will appear in your agenda every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu and Fri.

Set org-agenda-skip-scheduled-if-done to t perhaps? And similarly
for org-agenda-skip-deadline-if-done. Not sure whether that will do
anything for CANCELLED though.

BTW, the search I did was within emacs (much more likely to be on
point than  a Google search):

  C-h v org-agenda--done TAB TAB ...

or when I'm really vague about what I'm looking for

  C-h v org-agenda- TAB

I then C-x o to the completion buffer and just use normal emacs
commands to look around.

[O] Repeat work / week days

[SabreWolfy]

I searched here and elsewhere, and then played with various diary sexp
settings, but I could not find a way to repeat an entry on work/week days
(Monday to Friday) every week. I would like a task to appear on all Mondays
to Fridays. The repeat should preferably be from Monday to Tuesday, Tuesday
to Wednesday, etc., rather than from Monday to Monday, Tuesday to Tuesday,
etc., but this is not so important.

[O] Generate directory tree for each directory, and project navigation

[psycho_punch]

I'm still working on publishing my notes as HTML. I'm organizing them in
different directories, and I want to be able generate some sort of sitemap
for each directory showing all the notes (recursively?) inside. In
addition, I'd also like to understand how :html-link-up, and
:html-link-home could work "automagically" that would work wherever a
particular note is located.

Re: [O] babel setup

[Omid]

What else do you have in your .emacs related to Org?

(BTW, it would be much better if you could write a more detailed
subject line than "babel setup" like "Using
org-babel-do-load-languages causes Org mode to switch to older
version" so that the right people on the list can more easily
prioritize answering to your email based on how urgent it is.)

I do not know of any build-in sorting strategy that does what you want.
But you can always write your own function and pass it along with
`C-c ^ f'.  Such a function takes no arguments and returns the sorting
key.  I put together a small function, but it does not work correctly
yet.  Maybe someone can point out why.  Or maybe this will help you as a
point to start and investigate further.

This function is called with point at the beginning of the top level
headline.  Note: I called `C-c ^ f' with an active region over the whole
file.
#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
  (defun my-sort ()
(forward-line 2)
(message "%s" (thing-at-point 'line))
(thing-at-point 'line))
#+END_SRC

Using this function with org-sort results in some weird behaviour where
only the "English" but not the "Russian" headlines are sorted.


I hope this helps a bit,

[O] Stopping "done/cancelled" from showing in agenda view?

This is probably an easy one to answer, but I can't even think of

But, how do you stop a "done", or "cancelled" item from appearing in

do it for me please?

If I recall correctly, the recommended thing is to put all of your
package-specific customizations either in the customize interface (in
which case they'll get applied correctly) or behind either a mode hook,
or an eval-after-load. Also see package-enable-at-startup, in the info
node (emacs) Package Installation

Re: [O] (require 'org-publish) causes downgrade in org-version

So I need to explicitly call (package-initialize) in init.el, probably one

[O] Using templates for generating HTML

[psycho_punch]

Hello everyone.

I'm wondering if there's a way to specify a template when publishing my
org-notes into HTML. For example, data like author, creator, etc. are by
default added in the postamble. I want to be able to specify what part of
the HTML page such data are placed. I tried using #+begin_html...#+end_html
template but I can't use macros inside like {{{author}}}. In addition, I
want the org-notes to be as agnostic of "publishing intent" as much as
possible, which means I'd like to use plain org-mode components (as much as
possible).

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks.

Re: [O] (require 'org-publish) causes downgrade in org-version

[psycho_punch]

I've defined my initialization script in ~/.emacs.d/init.el; I'm not sure
if it matters. So since 'ox-publish doesn't get loaded until after
initialization, I defined:

(add-hook 'after-init-hook (lambda() (load-file
"/path/to/org-publish-project.el")))

I'm wondering when do the packages installed via package-install get
loaded...

[O] org-drill: remove duplicates

[Dennis Yurichev]

Hi.

I just started using org-drill, which is seems pretty good.
One thing I noticed at first: are there a way to remove duplicates which 
will inevitably be added into the file?

And/or: it's possible to sort all entries in org-file by, let's say, "** 
English" heading?

I've something like...

==
* Word
** English
english word 2
** Russian
russian word 2

* Word
** English
english word 1
** Russian
russian word 1
==

It's possible to sort file so that's entry with "english word 1" 
will be at top?

You misunderstood me, maybe I didn't explain this very well. The
document doesn't literally contain "\\".  For me your
example results in the following output.

#+BEGIN_SRC latex
  \begin{document}

  \maketitle
  
  \section{Head
  \label{sec-1}
  The first sentence. \\
  The second sentence.
  % Emacs 24.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.6)
  \end{document}
#+END_SRC

Note the "\\" after "The first sentence".  That is what I want to get
rid of.

-

While producing said output I glanced at the org file's header and saw
the following line:

#+OPTIONS: \n:t

After removing that line, everything works as expected.  I cannot
remember putting this option there and thus did not think of looking for
a cause in the header of my org file.

Thank you anyway for you response!

It's hard to tell, but you're likely trying to configure Org before
package-initialize has run.

I think this has to do with autoload, but I am not an emacs or org expert.

Try making sure that (package-initialize) comes before any org functions in

Re: [O] (require 'org-publish) causes downgrade in org-version

[psycho_punch]

Ok, so apparently, ox-publish doesn't get loaded after init in my setup;
I'm not sure why. What I have done so far is to run the publish script
after init using the after-init-hook. However, I feel like this shouldn't
be how it's done.

Re: [O] Do not export single newlines to latex

I use the LaTeX exporter routinely, and I have never seen this behavior. For
instance,

~~~ org input file
* Headline
The first sentence.
The second sentence.
~~~

~~~ LaTeX export (minus preamble)
\begin{document}

\maketitle
\tableofcontents

\section{Headline}
\label{sec-1}
The first sentence.
The second sentence.
% Emacs 23.3.1 (Org mode 8.2.5f)
\end{document}
~~~

I also checked the customization variables in the org-export-latex group,
and I didn't see anything immediately relevant to newline translation.

So I can think of a couple of possibilities:

- You might have some strange configuration lying around somewhere.
(Additional evidence that you're seeing nonstandard behavior is that none of
the .el files in the org distribution contain the string 'newline', let
alone ''.)

- Or you might be using a newer org than I'm using, in which case you might
be seeing a regression bug. (As far as I know, a single line break in the
input should definitely not translate into "\\"!!)

Two consecutive line breaks in the input should be copied over directly into
the .tex file. It's then up to LaTeX to interpret this -- per its own
standards -- as a paragraph break. Again, "\\" would be quite
exceptional.

​That I found. Is handy, but only for debugging. But with the shortened
formula line, it is less of a problem.

​Works like a charm. Thanks.

​I should study that more diligently.
