[O] Question about todo subheadings and logbook
Hi all, I'm currently using org-mode 8.3.1, and I'm curious about a particular behavior. If I start to type an item, and then use the C-c C-t shortcut to mark it as a TODO item, it automatically creates a drawer and adds a LOGBOOK entry to it. Custom settings are as follows: (setq org-log-into-drawer 'LOGBOOK org-log-state-notes-into-drawer 'LOGBOOK) I often want to add a subheading (sub-task) to this todo item, so I'll hit Alt-Enter to do this. When I do, it creates the subheading /between/ the original todo and the drawer. Is that correct? My preference - and what I would have assumed to be the correct behavior - would be to have the subheadings appear /after/ the logbook drawer, as each subtask can also have a todo state and its own logbook. I figure there's probably a quick change I can make to org-insert-todo-subheading or some other function, but wanted to see if: a) this is how it's supposed to work, and b) if there was an easier way to achieve what I want, maybe just some keyboard shortcut I'm missing.

Okay, thanks. I figured at least a few people would prefer to keep the plain/text portion in org mode syntax and why I went with the configuration option route. At this point, I'm not sure if there is any further hacking left to be done to the original patch I sent? Are we okay with just leaving the two options of 'ascii and 'org? Thanks, -- Jon Miller

Good to know! Thanks for the confirmation. I missed that.
Note also that it might be necessary to include
#+header: :headers '("\\usepackage{tikz}")
to the latex block. This I only need when testing with emacs -Q. Not
sure why, though. I was under the impression that global
#+latex_headers should apply in latex source blocks as well?

This macro is from Eric Schulte initially. And I guess I would be out
of luck adapting it to new Org mode versions as well.
I'd vote for a macro like this to be included in Org mode. I think it
is quite useful to have and somehow extends the @@latex: ...@ constructs
to babel. That way updates to org breaking this would be less probable.
Unfortunately, I don't have the time right now to even upgrade Org mode.
So, I cannot offer any testing/bisecting, I am afraid.
Best,
Andreas

Andreas,
the example doesn't work for me with a quite recent org (updated within
the past week) and with -Q.
By the way, with emacs -Q, I need to "(required 'cl)" for the by-backend
macro although this is probably done by one of the export files?

The solution has been pointed out by Haochen Xie in this thread
(":imagemagick yes"). I needed this fix as well to get the png creation
to work.

And it doesn't work for me either. I recently ran into this problem
myself with a document (long book chapter with many tikz figures) that I
wrote about 4 months ago. I had a deadline so couldn't track down what
was wrong but it is all about the by-backend macro. No matter what the
target for export is, the by-backend macro doesn't work. I tried to fix
it but no luck, mostly due to my lack of emacs lisp funess...

Here is a link to the course syllabus and schedule, so you can see the
result:
http://www.tsdye.com/anth_323/anth_323_syllabus.html
My students seem to appreciate the Course Calendar and they definitely
appreciate the ReadTheOrg style.
I've attached the Org mode source, which probably depends on some code
in my library of Babel. At least you'll be able to see how I structure
the file and use internal links. I really like using the ID properties
for internal links to headlines, so I'm free to change the headline text
without breaking the link.
Also, there is a bunch of material in the attached file related to
exporting slide-show lectures to pdf, which you can ignore. I've
stripped out the lecture content because it's not relevant to your
query.
All the best,

* Syllabus
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: anth-323-f15-syllabus
:EXPORT_TITLE: Fall 2015 Syllabus for ANTH 323
:END:
This course is an introduction to archaeological research in Oceania,
a region including the islands of Polynesia, Melanesia, and
Micronesia. The exploration of this oceanic world, the ability of
Pacific Islanders to colonize remote, environmentally diverse
landforms, and their success developing a range of island societies
represent remarkable achievements in the history of humanity. We will
examine evidence for systematic long-distance voyaging, the human
colonization of previously uninhabited landscapes, and the independent
evolution of cultures descendant from a common ancestral heritage. The
course is open to both undergraduate and graduate students.
The central questions we address are: What is archaeology's place in
the study of Oceania's past alongside oral history, history,
historical linguistics, comparative ethnography, and genetics? What
have been archaeology's main contributions to the history of Oceania?
What is the future of archaeology in Oceania?
This class is writing intensive. There will be a research paper (10
pages plus bibliography) and other shorter writing assignments. This
course is designed for upper-division undergraduates and graduate
students. We welcome all students with interests in Oceania. A
background in archaeology is helpful but not a prerequisite.
** Textbook
The required textbook for this semester is Patrick Kirch's /On the
Road of the Winds:/ /An Archaeological History of the Pacific Islands
before European Contact/.
Kirch is an emeritus professor at the University of California
Berkeley. He grew up in M\amacron{}noa, attended Punahou School, earned a
Bachelor's degree at the University of Pennsylvania, and went on to
earn a PhD in Anthropology at Yale University. He has an unparalleled
range of archaeological experience throughout the Pacific starting
when he was a teenager in Hawai`i and continuing today. He is:
- an avid reader about all things Pacific who has made contributions
to the fields of linguistics and anthropology, in addition to archaeology;
- a strong proponent of a multi-disciplinary approach that
integrates archaeology with various natural sciences, linguistics,
and ethnography;
- a prolific author with a fluid writing style.
We will read and discuss the book critically, focusing primarily on
the archaeological materials and secondarily on the relationship of
archaeological evidence to other kinds of evidence. In addition, in
class discussions and through students' term paper research, we will
discuss findings made since the textbook was published more than a
decade ago.
** Class Meetings
The class meets Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:30 to 1:20 in
Saunders Hall 345. The class is organized as a seminar, so please sit
at the table.
The course is structured to maximize discussion time during class
meetings. The successful student will come to class well-prepared and
eager to engage in discussion. In particular, please prepare for
class by completing the reading and pondering the discussion questions.
All inquiry begins with doubt. Please come to class with questions of
your own!
Tip: Discuss your term paper research in class, as appropriate. The
responses you get from your instructor and fellow students might help
you understand your term paper topic in a new or interesting way.
** Grading
Your grade will be based on the total number of points you earn in the
mid-term examination, research paper, discussion papers, annotated
maps, and class participation. Note that you must complete the final
term paper and turn it in on time to

Such as ** Some heading :PROPERTIES: :var: par1="smth" :END: #+call: some-function(parameter=par1) Better yet, is there a way to have the function itself to figure out which properties are in effect in a place where a function is called from? What I mean is, when i have a code block #+name: some-function #+begin_src sh :results code echo $par1 #+end_src defined under ** Some heading, evaluating the function will echo the value of par1. But when the function is defined somewhere where par1 is not defined, calling it under ** Some heading with #+call doesn't work. Can I somehow instruct org to automatically use the parameter value from the place where the function is called with #+call, rather than where its body is defined? All the best, Kalev
[O] merge trees?
Eveyr year at this time, I struggle with the structure of my course syllabi, and move bits an pieces around with wild abandon. At the end of my struggles, my course outline will be filled with headings like this: ** <2015-10-06 Tue> Spatial History Thinking about the visual presentation of information, especially in map form *** Readings + Franco Moretti, /Graphs, Maps, Trees/, ch. 1 ([[ http://2012.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/placing-history.pdf][Graphs]] ). + Knowles, A.

It occurs to me that it would be preferable to maintain separate trees of seminar topics and labs, and merge them, so eg: * Topics ** Introduction ** Crowds and Publics ** Spatial History * Labs ** Intro to HTML ** Styling with CSS ** The Google Maps Javascript API The two subtrees can be manipulated independently, then merged to create something like: * Schedule ** <2015-09-15> *** Seminar: Introduction *** Lab: Intro to HTML (each subheading will also include content, e.g., a description of the class, some lab instructions, etc.). Is there an easy way to do this already? Or is the best thing to do to write a piece of elisp that generates the appropriate structure using org-element, and put that code in a babel block? And if the latter, does anyone, um, want to write the code for me? Many thanks for your help, Matt
[O] shell scripts in yasnippet?
Hi there, right now I’m tinkering around with yasnippet. I was wondering if there’s a possibility to run a shell script and write its results in the text file. Specifically, I’m want to run “fortune” and put the results in a #+BEGIN_QUOTE…#+END_QUOTE block. Would that be possible?

[O] File local circular links
Hi all I use a hack to work around a missing feature that I would like to call "file local circular links". It works until release_8.2.10-2341-g8094d01 but stops with release_8.2.10-2342-gcfe5bc9 commit cfe5bc97f8b18ccbf49d0764746c7563ce8d29da Author: Nicolas Goaziou Date: Mon Aug 3 01:06:32 2015 +0200 Fix link search and I would like to ask for some help to get it work again. File local circular links does this: C-c C-o on line 1 of the file - [[:file local circular link:]] some text [[:file local circular link:]] - moves to line 3 and C-c C-o again moves back to line 1. (It does not follow all links when there are more than two but this limitation is a different story.) The hack that I used so far is #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun f-org-link-exec (str) (let* ((context (org-element-context)) (link (let ((up (org-element-property :parent context))) (if (eq (org-element-type up) 'link) up context))) (avoid-pos (org-element-property :begin link))) (cond ;; [[<>]]: Remove the angular brackets to let `org-link-search' ;; match `str' as an angular bracket link.

[O] property list indentation and TODO state changes
Rather than try to discuss the issue, I'll just give (hopefully simple enough) steps which will reproduce it. Visit an org-mode buffer, with the following contents: #--- #+STARTUP: logdrawer #+TODO: APPT(a) | DONE(d!) * APPT <2015-09-03 Thu +1m> ack :PROPERTIES: :FOO: Bar :END: #--- With point on the line "* APPT ...", do C-t d i.e. (org-todo) and then choose "d". The file is then transformed as follows: --- #+STARTUP: logdrawer #+TODO: APPT(a) | DONE(d!) * APPT <2015-10-03 Wed +1m> ack :PROPERTIES: :FOO: Bar :END: :LOGBOOK: :LAST_REPEAT: [2015-09-03 Thu 09:01] - State "DONE" from "APPT" [2015-09-03 Thu 09:01] :END: --- The behavior of the indentation on the line containing ":PROPERTIES:" seems odd. And I think the :LAST_REPEAT: line should have instead appeared in the property list, rather than in the LOGBOOK. Note that if instead the starting state is --- #+STARTUP: logdrawer #+TODO: APPT(a) | DONE(d!) * APPT <2015-09-03 Wed +1m> ack :PROPERTIES: :FOO: Bar :END: :LOGBOOK: - [2015-09-03 Thu] a comment :END: --- (i..e there is "already a LOGBOOK") then C-t d results in --- * APPT <2015-10-03 Sat +1m> ack :PROPERTIES: :FOO: Bar :LAST_REPEAT: [2015-09-03 Thu 09:04] :END: :LOGBOOK: - State "DONE" from "APPT" [2015-09-03 Thu 09:04] - [2015-09-03 Thu] a comment :END: --- so the LAST_REPEAT works as expected, but the indentation is still odd. org-version: 8.3.1 (from elpa).

Re: [O] Block level specification for tex code html export method
Hello
Alan,
I'm not 100% sure, but I think the distorted PNG file is generated by
dvipng. It seems that dvipng cannot handle tikz blocks very well, and one
must use imagemagick for those blocks. I think this line:
#+header: :imagemagick :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions -geometry 800
should be
#+header: :imagemagick yes :iminoptions -density 600 :imoutoptions
-geometry 800
so that imagemagick would be used instead of dvipng, which is the global
default.
As said by Andreas,
it's probably that
your
by
-backend
macro
is not working
properly, or, maybe you are not using a recent enough version of org-mod
e
. This
magic
, if I remember correctly,
is
act
uall
y
done
by
a
special
case
added
to
some
latex
babel
export
function
, wh
ich is contributed by Andreas somehow recently. You may want to try upgrade
your org-mode and try again.
Also please follow this link [1] to fix a
bug
in htlatex as mentioned in Andreas's mail, or your html export will fail
silently (showing success on emacs, but no images generated).

Re: [O] Block level specification for tex code html export method
Hi Alan,
Glad you like the example.
Three things:
1. It still works for me ;-)
2. The distorted png might come from the bug in htlatex I mentioned in
this thread [1].
3. It seems that the by-backend does not work properly for you. I am
not sure about the reason for that. What org-mode version do you run?
HTH,
Andreas

Re: [O] Block level specification for tex code html export method
Hello Andreas,
I’m slowly catching up on the org mailing list, and I found your example
very interesting. I tried to run it and it does not seem to work here.
Here is what I did:
- I copied the code below to a file
- I evaluated the last block
- I made sure that latex was one of the org-babel-load-languages
language
- I tried executing the first block, which generated this strange png
- I exported both to html and pdf, and in both cases I would have
a reference to the png instead of the svg/tikz code.
I’m afraid I’m missing a step. Do you see what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks,
Alan

[O] Templating with Org
A while ago I asked about creating a system that repeats body text for
many Org headings -- essentially writing an export template that is
re-used for many headings. Search through Gmane is tedious and strangely
inaccurate, so I'm not bothering to find the original thread.
I've come up with a solution that others might find useful -- I'm also
hoping for some tips on improving it. I suppose I can add it to Worg
later.
I'll paste the function at the bottom, but what I'm talking about is
this:
#+BEGIN_SOURCE org
Templating Test
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_BODY_TEMPLATE: template-heading
:END:
** Bob Jones
:PROPERTIES:
:SALUTATION: Dear Mr Jones
:MARMOTS: 390
:END:
** Janet Smith
:PROPERTIES:
:SALUTATION: Dear Prof. Smith
:MARMOTS: 9
:END:
** Unknown
:PROPERTIES:
:SALUTATION: Dear Sir/Madame
:MARMOTS: 42
:END:
Also, would you at your earliest convenience please remind us of your
name?
* Template body:noexport:
:PROPERTIES:
:ID: template-heading
:END:

#+END_SOURCE
When this is exported, the body of the "Template body" heading is
switched in for the bodies of each of the children of "Templating test".
That lets you use property macros to fill in the template context. As a
special case, the string "@@body@@" will be replaced with the original
body of the exported heading, if there is one.
The function below works fine, though I'd sure like to know if anyone
has any suggestions for cleaning it up, particular the bits about
finding and extracting heading bodies.
More unfortunately, it doesn't work if you restrict the export scope to
the "Templating Test" subtree, because the "EXPORT_BODY_TEMPLATE"
property isn't seen. I'd sure like to find a way to fix that.
I suppose one solution would be to explicitly add EXPORT_BODY_TEMPLATE
to the list of inherited properties, and then remove the inner
`org-map-entries'. But one of the things I like about the current
arrangement is that it is limited to direct children of the heading with
that property set.
Anyway, comments and improvements welcome!
