I don't know if Charles has tried other lists on lists.gnu.org - I have only
tried searching the org-mode list, so I can only confirm that that one seems
broken.

So you aren't saying that just the list for org-mode is broken you are
saying that all GNU mailing list archives are broken?!

I also am a happy user.  Emacs and Org are useful and fun to use.

When the Brazilian Real gains a little value, I plan to ask on this

Are you sure it's been broken that long?  I don't use it often but I
thought I used it more recently than that.  Oh well, doesn't matter;
just curious.  The key is that it's broken now but at least there are
alternatives.


I'm not sure whether Charles is referring to Gmane search or the
lists.gnu.org search: I understood it to be the latter. If he indeed
means the latter, I can agree that it seems broken.  It might just be
that the index is not being rebuilt regularly, or there might be some
deeper problem, but I have found it to be unusable.
Yes I did mean lists.gnu.org. Since April 2015, at least, I have 
occasionally gone to the search engine for that list to see if it has 
been repaired and I have had no luck. Either it has never been repaired 
or I somehow mange to chose just the "right" time when it is down, again.

Gmane (while it was still alive) broke a few times but it was always
repaired fairly quickly (I nagged Lars a couple of times about it, so
I may have indirectly contributed to him giving up in disgust ;-) ).
Now that Gmane is being resurrected[1], I hope that things will be
more or less back to normal in fairly short order.

 that my posts seem to take 12 hours to appear on the list; no

Great! Then I can find who first reported that lists.gnu.org search was

As I recall Nicolas G. suggested that I contact whoever maintained the 
list (he gave the address) and report this. I did, but no response.

We might want to wait a few weeks: Gmane is being resurrected

   https://lwn.net/Articles/699704/

And I'm not sure whether I'm doing something wrong but the Namazu search
on https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/ is horrible.

[O] custom port for postgresql

[Jakob Lombacher]

Hi,

I wondered why I couldn't connect to my database, and I figured out that a
custom port is not supported as header argument for postgresql.

I don't know how the merging in this project works, so here is the patch.

Thanks Peter. But I'm typesetting it at least three times. But its just
not building the list of figures.

However, if I run 'mklatex' on my source file it generates a 'foo.lof',
but doesn't actually populate the 'list of figures'! And 'mklatex'
doesn't finish either! But then I'm just learning how to actually use
it.

Thanks
Sharon.

[O] Improving debugging experience of latex errors on export

[Giacomo M]

Dear all,

I'm using latexmk w/ pdflatex for my org2pdf exports. When I get a "PDF 
file produced with errors.", then I go to "*Org PDF LaTeX Output*" 
buffer to try to understand what is happening.


If I open the generated .tex w/ the default latex mode, I tex-compile it 
(C-c C-c) w/ latexmk and then press "C-c `" to see the errors, I have 
the original tex buffer on the lef with the cursor positioned around the 
area of error, and a clear(er than before) explanation of the problem in 
a buffer on the right.


I was wondering whether this latex "debugging" setup could be also used 
during org export, and how, or more generally how I can improve the 
debugging experience of latex export errors.


Thanks a lot,

Giacomo

To get the list of figures (or any other reference, for that matter), you have 
to typeset your document twice. The first time, tex build a list of figures (in 
a separate file, with .lof extension); the second time, it inserts that list 
where the \listoffigures{} is. This is common to tex: you have to typeset twice 
to get the references and lists correct.

Cheers,
Peter.

[O] How to populate a 'list of figures'?

[Sharon Kimble]

I'm having great difficulty in being able to generate and populate a
'list of figures' in my orgmode-2-latex document. I currently have this
as a figure in my org-mode file -

--8<---cut here---start->8---
#+CAPTION: The four principles of person-centred care \parencite{0055}
#+ATTR_LaTeX: :width 0.5\textwidth :float t :placement [H]
#+LABEL: fig:four-principles
[[./images/four-principles-from-pcc-made-simple.png]]
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

Which shows in the tex file as -

--8<---cut here---start->8---
\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
\includegraphics[width=0.5\textwidth]{./images/four-principles-from-pcc-made-simple.png}
\caption{\label{fig:orgparagraph1}
The four principles of person-centred care \parencite{0055}}
\end{figure}
--8<---cut here---end--->8---

In my preamble I have -

╭
│#+LaTeX: \listoffigures{}
╰

Which again shows in the tex file as '\listoffigures{}'.

However, when I generate the pdf using xelatex all that it shows for my
list of figures is 'List of Figures'!

So how can I get the list of figures to be populated please?

Thanks
Sharon.
