Re: [O] org-cite and org-citeproc
Hi Aaron and all, Richard Lawrence richard.lawre...@berkeley.edu writes: Alright, I'll try to move to json.el, and possibly change to having org-citeproc generate Org markup in the meantime. Just a heads up: I've pushed some changes to my branch of Org to make org-cite use json.el, and to add a basic Org format writer to org-citeproc. I have not made any other changes to org-cite to use the Org formatted output from org-citeproc, though, as I believe doing this properly will involve parsing the output and inserting it into Org's exporter's parse tree (to accommodate the bibliography and note-based styles). I won't have time to work on that this week, but I'll come back to it. Best, Richard

[O] [PATCH] lisp/ob-sql.el: add support for :dbport parameter
This (tiny) patch implements ability to set dbport for org-babel sql
functionality. I often use ssh port forwarding to connect to remote
mysql servers where port is mapped to non-standard one on local machine.
This is my first patch, below the 15 line threshold.

In a simple org-table like the following: | | | | 漢 | | when pressing the TAB key in the bottom left cell, one space character is removed from that cell and the table thus looks like | | | | 漢 | | Pressing TAB again in that cell removes another space character | | | | 漢 | | I can repeat this until only one space remains between the Japanese character and the column separator to its right. When working on a table, navigating via TAB, over time all the CJK cells that I TABbed out of - or Shift-TABbed out of - get affected, messing up the overall table layout. Once I press C-c C-c, the formatting of the whole table gets restored, until my next TAB, but it would of course be nice if TABs didn't destroy it in the first place.

Out of curiosity... *should* this work without the =. auto=? It's been in my config so long I'm not really even sure why I put it there, but from re-googling around I think it's just an appearance/preference thing. Do you want your headlines separated by a newline or not -- is that the gist? If so, should this be glitching? I've had other odd behavior where I'll fold the last headline and it's last few characters will end up after the ellipsis and now wonder if this was causing that as well. Anyway, glad you're all set!

[O] Hiding blocked TODO items
Hello, Is there a way to have TODO items blocking each other? For example, if I have this document: * TODO Pay water :PROPERTIES: :blocked-on: checks :END: * TODO Pay electricity :PROPERTIES: :blocked-on: checks :END: * TODO Get new checks :PROPERTIES: :id: checks :END: Then I'd like the first two TODO items not to show up in the agenda until the third one is DONE (but I don't much care if the items can be manually switched to DONE or not). I looked at org-depend.el but as far as I can tell, it only allows to set up chains of dependencies, i.e. I could have Pay Water and Pay electricity in state NEXT, and have a trigger in Get new checks that would switch one, but not both, of the NEXT items to TODO. Do I understand that correctly? Is there some other way to achieve what I want? Best, -Nikolaus -- GPG encrypted emails preferred.

I don't expect to be editing my orgmode files on a daily basis (at least not yet), so how can I make sure that I don't miss an important deadline? It seems to me that it doesn't help much if instead of worrying to forget a deadline I now have to worry about forgetting to check my org-mode agenda...How do other people handle this? Is everyone else opening and working on their org files daily so that this becomes a non-issue? You can put this after your org-agenda-files configuration in your .emacs: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (appt-activate 1) (org-agenda-to-appt) #+END_SRC Then you will be reminded of things in your org files, before the appointment time (I think 12 min is the default). Hmm. I tried it with this test-event: * TODO Test task SCHEDULED: 2015-04-07 Tue But running (org-agenda-to-appt) just gives No event to add. Is this because there is no time specified? Yes. I'm not really concerned with appointments that have a time span, but with projects that have specific due dates... Well that is what the org agenda is for. If you just can't remember to check the agenda every so often you could do something like (not tested): #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (run-at-time t 120 'org-agenda-list) #+END_SRC To run the agenda every two hours automatically.

Re: [O] [PATCH] lisp/ob-sql.el: add support for :dbport parameter
Saulius Menkevičius saulius.menkevic...@gmail.com writes: This (tiny) patch implements ability to set dbport for org-babel sql functionality. I often use ssh port forwarding to connect to remote mysql servers where port is mapped to non-standard one on local machine. This is my first patch, below the 15 line threshold. Seems good AFAICS. Do you often use orgmode, BABEL and sql all together ? (just curious as I am a DBA in real life). -- Xavier.

[O] pdf screen reader accessibility?
http://www.adobe.com/accessibility/products.html is a good place to start. When a document gets written in Microsoft Word, its language is made part of that document. If that document is later converted to a pdf file that language information is taken in by the conversion process then becomes the first component that starts to make screen reader accessibility of a pdf file possible. Other components exist, but without that language attribute presence, screen reader accessibility is disabled. Another major requirement is ocr scanned content pictures by themselves in pdf files are worthless to screen readers. I'm using speakup over here on archlinux and am curious if it is now possible or some day will be possible for me to export to a screen reader accessible pdf file I can share with other screen reader users with no fear that the file won't be accessible. -- Twitter: JudeDaShiell

[O] Inserted Heading Starts on Prior Heading's Fold Mark
I don't know when this started, but recently I've seen the following annoying behavior from M-RET in org files. Here is a minimal file to demonstrate what I'm seeing lately: == demo.org == * First Header Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum. * Second Header === When the headings are completely folded, I see the following, as expected: == demo.org == * First Header... ^* Second Header === With my cursor on the ^, I hit M-RET to insert a new heading between First Header and Second Header, and I get the following: === When the headings are completely folded, I see the following, as expected: == demo.org == * First Header...* ^ * Second Header === In other words, the new heading is being placed after the elipses for the folded content of the first heading. Naturally, I expect the following: == demo.org == * First Header... * ^ * Second Header === I'm trying to determine if this is an odd intereaction from some of my settings, or if it is a bug in the org code. It does the same whether I have org-indent-mode toggled on or off. Does anyone else see this behavior?
