I must say to the list that the code that solves my problem is given in
Eric Fraga's tutorial:

#+latex_header:
\mode{\usetheme{CambridgeUS}\usepackage{beamer_udl_theme}}

where the last \usepackage refers to a personal customization of
CambridgeUS theme.

Now I meet a new problem : what is the org-mode code to export this Latex
code that customizes the frame of the title page? :

\begin{frame}
\titlepage
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{cnrs_noir}~~
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{logo}~
\includegraphics[height=1cm,width=1cm]{logo-udl}
\end{center}
\end{frame}

Actually, wrong. It was discussed already, and the current trend is to
throw an error instead of silently dropping the link.

Can't you just filter it out before exporting?

[O] Bug: Can't export subtree with links to headlines outside of the subtree [8.3.1 (8.3.1-95-g1dbb25-elpa)]

[Michael Behr]

I want to export a subtree of a file, but that subtree has links to
headings in the file that are outside of the subtree. I expect the
exporting process to produce some sort of valid result, but instead it
throws an "Unable to resolve link" error. Here's a test file to
reproduce:

* Foo
* Bar :export:
[[*Foo][Foo]]

Making a file with those contents and trying to export it to e.g.
latex will fail, but if the :export: tag is removed, exporting
succeeds. I can't easily get a backtrace because the error comes from
user-error, but it happens in org-export-resolve-fuzzy-link.

Of course the exported file can't link to a target that doesn't exist,
but it's probably better to strip out the link in this case than to
throw an error, right?

Re: [O] Default html export css styles?

[Lawrence Bottorff]

So this default stuff is located in ox-html.el I'm guessing. If I wanted to
override the default behavior of putting a border and a gray bar around a
source code block, there really isn't a specific Org Export HTML
customization entry for that. I'd just have to figure out how to override
the specific css in the generated default css at the top of my exported
HTML, correct? I'm not sure which thing I'm supposed to tweak per this
 but it must be one
of them. In the meantime, I stuck this into my stylesheet.css and it seemed
to work. Is the usual thing to simply turn off ox-html and roll your own?

pre {
border: none;
box-shadow: none;
  }

There are hooks, e.g. `org-export-before-processing-hook' where you can
comment out offending links.

A customizable option sounds reasonable, indeed. Do you want to provide
a patch?

Or, use a stylesheet designed for Org-mode, e.g.,

My use case is a large file of notes that I want to typeset frequently as I
update it, so that won't work for me unless there's an easy way to pass a
filtered version of the file to the exporter.

Not if we allow latin1 or utf-8 as values, which are not valid export

It's a constant, ~org-html-style-default~, defined in ox-html.el.

Assuming you are using a recent enough org, you can override whether
this is included:

The new exporter tries to preserve special characters whenever it
doesn't recognise a latex snippet.  To ensure they are not escaped as
special characters, you should use export snippets.  Try:

  @@latex:\hoareTriple{V}{@@\(\textmath{merge}\)@@latex:}{P}@@

See the help string for org-export-snippet-translation-alist.

I haven't used gnuplot for a couple of decades and in recent years have
used R with org for this sort of thing, but I'm sure it's possible

Have you looked at

This is a known limitation: hline relative references are not allowed on
the left hand side of a formula. The error message you get should be
explicit.

There are apparently subtle problems, IIRC, as pointed out in

Of course, gotcha. I guess it would be better to have that full range of

Except that I screwed up: the sed invocations was wrong:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
 cd Assignments
 for f in *.org; do
   echo "\* $f"
   sed '/^\*/s//**/' $f
 done > Assignments.org
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

should work (maybe I should try it out... nah, what could go wrong?)

These are filetags I created for the application. They make it easy to
pull data from the files. the function to get a filetag is here:
https://github.com/jkitchin/jmax/blob/master/techela/techela-grade.el#L204
and to set a filetag is right above it.

Thanks for the links. Reports would be great, aggregated grades not so
much (at least not for the moment). A couple questions: are the buffer
settings (#+ASSIGNMENT, #+POINTS, #+DUEDATE, #+RUBRIC) of your own
creation? This is just the kind of thing I'm looking for, but on a
much less ambitious scale. This student took this test and earned this
score on this day. But is this student in this subject or that
subject? Which period? I was thinking about making a file per student,
puting the particulars in a properties drawer, and linking to an
assignments file. Pretty standard stuff, I think, but I'm working out
how to make it all happen.

(My org ML subscription is daily digest but have read other replies regarding
the latin1 or utf-8 additional options)

After trying to include those options, I realized that the export options of
latin1 or utf-8 are actually using the same ascii exporter, correct? That is,
I can not use either value as-in in the call to (org-export-string-as ...)
To support the other options, it appears that we'd have to change the
function being used and I'm not sure which direction to take from there. I'd
be willing to hack on it further if I could get a hint as to what to use.

A shell script:

--8<---cut here---start->8---
cd Assignments
for f in *.org; do
  echo "* $f"
  cat $f
done > Assignments.org
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

If you need to change the levels of the headings in the files,
use a sed script instead of cat:

   sed '/^\*/s/&/**/' $f

[O] Fwd: can't assign to hline relative reference

[Luke Swart]

I am re-sending because I didn't include everyone on the original message.

Subject: Re: can't assign to hline relative reference
To: Luke Swart , emacs-orgmode@gnu.org


Hi Nicolas Goaziou,

Thanks very much for your clarification:

hline relative references are not allowed on the left hand side of a formula

My error message was user-error: Can't assign to hline relative reference,
which now makes sense. Still, a lot of folks didn’t understand the original
message, myself included. I will update my SO post and the Github issue to
reflect this new information.

Still, I am confused because it seems like org-mode used to allow hline
references to be assigned, no? My code snippet was taken from a section in
the timesheet.el MELPA package, which was working fine until an org-mode
update broke it. I may be missing something, so I am not sure if this is
the case.

Anyway, your response is very much appreciated!

Thanks,

Luke

That is non-trivial due to licensing issues.  When (and if) I sign the
FSF papers, this might be easier.  I'll look into it.

If you prepare your file so that all headlines get split, the main file
"becomes" the index file.  (The =bullets= parameter should help with
that, but unfortunately it doesn't really work very well.)

I may try to add such a feature anyway.  It requires a bit of thinking,
though, since which headlines exactly are split into their own files is
rather general, so the very meaning of "next" might not really be
obvious.

Hm - I just realised that despite having this #+BIND: in the file, the
variable was not set. I set it manually now, and it is fast again.

Shouldn't this BIND set the variable to true?

IIUC, `BIND' sets the variable to the value you're giving to it at
export-time only (in the temporary buffer created for the export
process).

I'd say it might be nice to have the option there to customize. There
are several potential plain-text exportation options (I'd prefer utf8,
personally), and giving the user a choice seems nice

[O] Very slow execution, tangling and export with noweb and quick-and-dirty

[Rainer M Krug]

Hi

I have a rather extensive literate programming document with several
hundred code blocks. In two subtrees, I use :noweb. Each of these has one
noweb block which is located onder the first level header, and used several
times in the sub-sections of this tree.

But even with the quick-and-dirty option

,
| #+BIND: org-babel-use-quick-and-dirty-noweb-expansion "t"
`

execution, tangling and export takes very long (one block about 12
seconds, of which about 2 seconde=s max execution time of the code block).

Is this a general problem of noweb expansion? How can I make this
faster?

I really want to use the noweb, because the block is rather dynamic and
used several times in the subrtree.

Below the report from the profiler.

Any suggestions welcome,

Rainer

The problem for the OP will be that the data are in rows instead of
columns and gnuplot will only plot columns (selected using
"using").  The table needs to be transposed first (which is possible but

As Carsten pointed out, that was a bug, as Org couldn't expand them
correctly anyway. As a consequence, an error is now thrown.

Greetings Marcin.

Looks inviting. The built-in html exporter desperately needs something
like this.

I have to be prepared to share my org-file(s) of this project with other
people, so I am avoiding code outside the standard org distribution. Now
if only that famous *someone* would incorporate your solution into the
core.

The one thing that would need to be added, if I understand your solution
correctly, is an index and automatic links to index, prev, next etc.

Thanks,

Jarmo

Re: [O] gnuplot: plotting students' progress of grades

You can transpose the table like this:
(org-table-transpose-table-at-point)

Alternatively (adapted from that code): this might get you where you
need to be:

#+name: my-data
| 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| a | b | c | d |

#+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp
(defun get-transposed-table (tblname)
  (save-excursion
(org-open-link-from-string (format  "[[%s]]" tblname))
(while (not (org-table-p))
  (forward-line))
(let* ((table (delete 'hline (org-table-to-lisp)))
   (contents (mapcar (lambda (p)
   (let ((tp table))
 (mapcar
  (lambda (rown)
(prog1
(pop (car tp))
  (setq tp (cdr tp
  table)))
 (car table
  (mapconcat (lambda(x) (concat "| " (mapconcat 'identity x " | " ) "  |\n" 
))
 contents ""
#+END_SRC

OK - now I understand it. So I should also, in addition to the bind, use

Done and working.

Re: [O] org-mode 3.5.1 emacs 24: invalid-functon 41

[Martin Steffen]

Hi Nicolas, and all.

I recently answered to a prior suggestion concerning the cause of a
problem (see below), basically I could not confirm the cause of the
error. In the meantime, I had the same problem (on different computer),
again with the newest org-mode with the same symptoms (org-mode
basically broken, with constant ``invalid function 41'' message).


I applied the suggested patch, and it made the symptoms go away. So it
seems that it cause of the error was located.

Thanks, Martin

Re: [O] emacs & org mode for scholars questions

[Erik Hetzner]

Hi all,

Thanks for all your responses! They were a great help when putting
together my talk. I’ve posted my slides from EmacsConf 2015 here:

  http://www.e6h.org/talks/emacsconf-2015/index.html

I think the planners are planning to post videos as soon as they can
get them edited to

  http://emacsconf2015.org/

EmacsConf 2015 was a lot of fun. Almost everyone there was an Org mode
user, which was no great surprise.

One thing that I came out of the conference thinking was that a
curated meta-package for Emacs (like elpy) that brought together tools
for scholarly writers (in LaTeX and markdown and org-mode) might be a
great help for Emacs beginners.

best, Erik

[O] Org-Contacts skip archived contacts

[Tory S. Anderson]

It would be useful to mark a contact as "archived" so that it 
won't auto-fill in an email, as when I may want to look someone up 
in the future but don't need to contact them now. Judging by the 
docstring I thought the answer would be with 
`org-contacts-matcher` but I can't quite make sense of how this 
thing works. Is there a line I should add to this to tell it to 
ignore `:archive:` tags, or can someone think of an easier way? 


--8<---cut here---start->8---
(defcustom org-contacts-matcher
 (mapconcat 'identity (list org-contacts-email-property
 org-contacts-alias-property
 org-contacts-tel-property
 org-contacts-address-property
 org-contacts-birthday-property)
 "<>\"\"|")
 "Matching rule for finding heading that are contacts.
This can be a tag name, or a property check."
 :type 'string
 :group 'org-contacts)
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

[O] refile whole files as headings?

[Matt Price]

I am reorganizing my courses, consolidating many short files into longer
ones. So, for instance, I have a directory like:

✗ ls Assignments

ClassProjectGuidelines.org
course-blog.org
essay-assignment.org
ProjectProposal.org
STA-01-CSS.org
STA-02-wordpress-themes.org
STA-03-Foundation.org
STA-04-maps.org

I'd like to turn this into Assignments.org, with a structure like this:

* ClassProjectGuidelines.org
* course-blog.org
* essay-assignment.org
* ProjectProposal.org
* STA-01-CSS.org
* STA-02-wordpress-themes.org
* STA-03-Foundation.org

[O] Suggestions on sync algorithms

[Tory S. Anderson]

I'm planning to make a mode that allows me to manage my Pivotal 
Tracker projects from orgmode; Pivotal Tracker exposes a rich JSON 
API and the basic task of mapping Pivotal data types to Org syntax 
is conceptually straight forward. But I'm trying to decide on the 
best way to perform syncronization so that changes on pivotal 
(which may be made by team members) are correctly synced with my 
local changes, and vice versa. I'm hoping for suggestions (links 
OK) on a clean way to perform this synchronization. One option 
would be to convert local and remote to org and then ediff the 
products; is there a more automatic way of which I should be 
aware?

This is probably more complicated than it needs to be: if you are just

simpler) to avoid the eval:

One option would be to put the table and caption within a centred
minipage of the desired width using LaTeX directives?

That's a good question. I personally don't think I'd ever need to keep the
plain/text section as org syntax but I wasn't sure about others, so I just
introduced the variable. I suppose the simple replacement would be a simpler
patch.

We can improve documentation.

I'm not sure about it. 

Org can divert from Emacs when it comes to what to do with files. You
may want to view it from Org but edit it from Emacs. The OS doesn't know
about Lisp.

Note that you can force `org-open-file' to open it with Emacs,
effectively ignoring `org-file-apps' altogether.

Then the option could offer a choice between "org", "ascii", "latin1"
and utf-8. I'm still unsure that providing "org" is pertinent, however.
