Bind org-agenda-files in a let before calling cfw:open-org-calendar:

It is not broken for my use case.  I like the fact that 

[[info:emacs#Top][Emacs Manual]]

is turned into

Emacs Manual

because I generated emacs.html, elisp.html, org.html, etc. all in
my ~/public_html/ or sub-directories.  Hence 
Emacs Manual
works fine for my use case.  It is a lot faster to access GNU manuals
when they are all on local host.

Should the current behavior be the default?  Perhaps not.  I believe
makeinfo and/or texi2html generates html links pointing to the official
pages at gnu.org.  This could be the default behavior, but I hope not
the *only* behavior.  If current export code is to be changed, I would
like to see user selectable option so that I can choose to use the
current behavior.

OK, here is my first unsuccessful attempt. I've never used advises
before so I'm not even sure it makes sense. 

--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defun jc-change-agenda-files ()
  (make-local-variable 'org-agenda-files)
  (setq org-agenda-files '('"~/org/orgfiles/planning.org")))

(advice-add 'cfw:open-org-calendar :before
  'jc-change-agenda-files)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

When I run cfw:open-org-calendar, I see entries from all my agenda
files. However, without the make-local-variable part, I only get the
entries from planning.org but that's not what I want since I don't want
to change org-agenda-files for the other agenda views.

IMHO it would be a good idea to reduce the number of regexps anyway; for
example, there are more than twenty regexps trying to match the tags at the
end of the line. (I've fixed that here, and will submit a patch as soon as
the copyright papers have been accepted)

I think we have three options:
1. declare empty headlines forbidden
2. declare empty headlines allowed, and hope everything goes well
3. declare empty headlines allowed and go through the code making sure we
deal with them everywhere.

My preference is 3, but 1 is better than 2. I'm volunteering to try to find
the time for #3 (if only there were some sort of Emacs extension to help me
organize things better), but can't really promise anything. However, I
think we should make the decision first so it's not a total waste of effort.

I should clarify that I consider only headlines with at least one space
following the stars "empty headlines". A star on a line of its own doesn't
count.

Thanks!

[O] "no such file or directory" "gnuplot"

[Tobias Frischholz]

Hi there!

I'm glad that there's a mailing list which might help me with my 
org-mode setup.


Somehow I'm not capable of running gnuplot.
But first things first.

My system is an OSX Yosemite with Emacs 24.5.1 and org-mode 8.3.1 (both 
installed via Homebrew).


For training purposes I have tried this example:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Org_002dPlot.html

Upon hitting C-c " g, I get the following in my *Messages* buffer:

Debugger entered--Lisp error: (file-error "Searching for program" "no 
such file or directory" "gnuplot")
  call-process-region(1 13 "gnuplot" 
"/var/folders/f9/tl9s3mg13c71lshbwly9wk48gn/T/emacs9W768b" #*temp*-822530>)

  gnuplot-fetch-version-number()
  gnuplot-mode()
  org-plot/gnuplot()
  call-interactively(org-plot/gnuplot nil nil)
  command-execute(org-plot/gnuplot)

I have gnuplot installed via Homebrew (brew install gnuplot) and within 
Emacs (M-x package-install RET gnuplot).


Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The reasoning is that it is a tricky situation, which may not be handled
everywhere in code base, e.g., depending on the regexp used. As
a consequence you're in /terra incognita/ anytime you use such
constructs.

> As you say, there are limitations in both cases, but do you actually

FWIW, I don't even see empty headlines useful anywhere. You can, for
example, use \nbsp{} or some such to hide a headline. But IMO, it looks
weird in overview display and is totally uninformative.

> I don't, but empty headlines are useful for setting tags (or, in my

Possible. The fact that we're having this discussion means we should
probably choose one option, write it down in Org syntax, then deal with
the bugs. Which option is open for debate. I am not married to any of
them.

There is no sparse tree mode so there is nothing to exit from. A sparse

Anyway, I have the gut feeling that hiding top level headlines just
won't cut it. Perhaps a mock-up would help.

http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html#org-class

However, my usual approach (for timetabling lectures, say) is to use:

,[ C-h f org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift RET ]
| org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift is an interactive compiled Lisp
| function in ‘org.el’.
| 
| (org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift N &optional SHIFT)
| 
| Clone the task (subtree) at point N times.
| The clones will be inserted as siblings.
| 
| In interactive use, the user will be prompted for the number of
| clones to be produced.  If the entry has a timestamp, the user
| will also be prompted for a time shift, which may be a repeater
| as used in time stamps, for example ‘+3d’.  To disable this,
| you can call the function with a universal prefix argument.
| 
| When a valid repeater is given and the entry contains any time
| stamps, the clones will become a sequence in time, with time
| stamps in the subtree shifted for each clone produced.  If SHIFT
| is nil or the empty string, time stamps will be left alone.  The
| ID property of the original subtree is removed.
| 
| If the original subtree did contain time stamps with a repeater,
| the following will happen:
| - the repeater will be removed in each clone
| - an additional clone will be produced, with the current, unshifted
|   date(s) in the entry.
| - the original entry will be placed *after* all the clones, with
|   repeater intact.
| - the start days in the repeater in the original entry will be shifted
|   to past the last clone.
| In this way you can spell out a number of instances of a repeating task,
| and still retain the repeater to cover future instances of the task.
| 
| As described above, N+1 clones are produced when the original
| subtree has a repeater.  Setting N to 0, then, can be used to
| remove the repeater from a subtree and create a shifted clone
| with the original repeater.

Hello, I am new to this mailing list and relatively new to org-mode too.

I am running org-mode 8.3.1 with Emacs 24.5.1. When I attempt to export

following message:

"Wrong type argument: listp, #("Title_of_the_document" 0 40 (: parent (#0)))

[O] Combining org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift and the skip weeks of org-class

[Julien Cubizolles]

Instead of cloning N times like org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift does,
could one generate the right amount of headings the same way org-class
does. Instead of getting the same entry repeated like org-class does,
you could later change the title of each entry individually:

org-clone-entry-with-class-type-range on
* Cours
  <2015-01-01 8:00-10:00>

would create (with a + 1 month timeshift) something like
* Cours
  <2015-02-01 8:00-10:00>
* Cours
  <2015-02-01 8:00-10:00>

 Org and the calendar make it fairly easy to enter time ranges, by

Actually, org is quite smart in this respect.  if you enter a time stamp
and then ask to enter another, org automatically inserts the -- between
the two time stamps.  E.g. try this key sequence to get a time range
that covers 7 days starting today:

  C-c . RET C-c . +6 RET

and you should get: <2015-08-27 Thu>--<2015-09-02 Wed>

Next-best option is F, followed C-c C-t to add a mail response to the
sender (which warns you if they don't want it). Maybe that could be
wrapped up in a function called
`gnus-summary-followup-with-original-and-maybe-mail-author' (not really)
that would follow-up the article, then check the Mail-Followup-To header
and add a mail message if desired.

[O] Links to Info manuals in exported HTML/LaTeX

[Marcin Borkowski]

Hi all,

it seems that links to Info manuals are broken in HTML and LaTeX export
(and possibly in other backends, too).

Would it make sense to make them work, i.e., link to the official web
versions, at least for standard Info manuals, like Emacs manual, Elisp
reference or Org manual?

Best,

I wouldn't bet on it. I'm sure this can lead to subtle problems. For
example,

  * Test
SCHEDULED: <2020-01-01>--<2020-01-07>

(org-entry-get (point-min) "SCHEDULED") => <2020-01-01>, i.e, range end
information is lost.

Exactly.

If you know the exact range, use a plain timestamp. SCHEDULED is for
when you know when to start, but not when to end. With
SCHEDULED + DEADLINE, you know when to start, you're not sure when to
end, but it must be done before deadline.

+1.  Also it's a big help when searching for old threads.  I wish I could
to the following:

1. set a followup-like header that says to always include me.  However, I
   think followup itself might not be great since e.g. Nicolas uses it to
   exclude himself.

2. set up Gnus so that when I click F it would send copies to gmane and
   the author of the email I reply to.

I don't see how that could be related.

OK.  makepkg screws up org-loaddef because it built in tmp.  And ox-odt is
bad at finding the "right" stylefiles.

You can check the variables I mentioned earlier in the thread.

This is in vain.  Org included the wrong style files.  This problem pops
up frequently.

Re: [O] subscript on a table caption

Hi,

May I suggest not to top post, makes it much harder to follow the
discussion.

sub/super-scripts are different from emphasis/markup.  Also the emphasis
variable you mention does not exist, maybe you meant org-emphasis-alist?

In any case, all of this is moot.  The bug has been fixed.
