So,

in mk/default.mk would handle this on my mac, but I do not know if 
this is fully portable.


OTOH, (expand-file-name "test.txt") resolves double-slashes and seems like

[O] translating event sexps to org for org-caldav

[Myles English]

Hello,

After the recent discussion about org-caldav I thought I would give it a
try.  Unfortunately it won't work for my main diary that uses a lot of
sexps[fn:1]

>From the org-caldav github page[fn:2] :

"""However, sexp-entries are insanely flexible, and there are limits as
to what the icalendar exporter will handle. For example, this here

** Regular event
   <%%(memq (calendar-day-of-week date) '(1 3 5))>

will not be exported at all."""

However, org-agenda uses these sexps to make entries in the agenda.

Would it be possible to reuse something from org-agenda to write these
entries as org items into a file that could be uploaded using
org-caldav?  Maybe org-get-entries-from-diary?  Is there a huge problem
with this that I haven't noticed?

Obviously this would just be a one-way push rather than a sync.

Thanks,
Myles


* Footnotes

[fn:1] I think I started using sexps just because org-mode can't do
e.g. "every Monday, *between these two dates*"

[O] [PATCH] org-mac-link: Add autoload cookies for all commands

[O] How to format dates in org-table-export (Format: orgtbl-to-csv)

[debaditya]

Hi,

I am trying to export an org table to csv, which contain dates in the 
format <%m-%d-%Y>, this i have achieved by including


(custom-set-variables
 '(org-time-stamp-custom-formats (quote ("<%m-%d-%Y>" . "<%Y-%m-%d>"

in my init file.

Now as this is an overlay, when I am trying to export the org table, the 
output dates are getting formatted as the default orgmode date format 
<%Y-%m-%d %a>. Naively, I tried to add in the init file


(custom-set-variables '(org-export-date-timestamp-format "%m-%d-%Y" ))

which does not change the default date format being exported.

I guess the default formatting of the orgtbl-to-csv needs to be tweaked 
for this purpose, but I may be wrong.


Any input will be very much appreciated.

Thanks
Deb

Re: [O] Formatting dates in org-html postamble

[Pavel Panchekha]

I'm sorry, let me give a full bug report:

I have

#+TITLE: title here
>
#+DATE: <2016-10-20>
>

in an org file, with no other "#+" lines set.

In my configuration file, I have set

(setf org-html-postamble-format
>   (list
>(list
> "en"
>  "By %a on
> %d.\n")))
>
(setf org-html-metadata-timestamp-format "%d %B %Y")
>

When I publish to HTML, the date is printed directly as "<2016-10-20 Thu>".

I am using Emacs 25.1.1 and Org 9.0.1.

I have looked through the code, and think the error is likely on line 1882
of ox-html.el, where the date format ought to be passed to
org-export-get-date as the optional second argument.

As a workaround, I am currently setting org-export-date-timestamp-format,
but it seems like this ought to be HTML-specific.

Not to sound facetious, but it seems that the make variable testdir gets
set to a path that has a trailing slash.  Fix that and the problem
should go away (most likely TMPDIR has a trailing slash).  Check with

: make config

or even

: make config-all

that the variable is set correctly.

[snip]




Another option is to modify the test so it prints some useful debugging
information before failing (e.g., contents of default-directory and
return value of (org-babel-execute-src-block)).



Doing this with `make test', I see that default-directory is let bound to

"/var/folders/kb/2hchpbyj7lb6z76l0q73w_fhgn/T//tmp-orgtest/"

and (concat default-directory "test.txt") will retain the double slash.

The return value from the second (org-babel-execute-src-block) has only a 
single slash between 'T' and 'tmp'. Hence the failure.


When run interactively, there is no double slash and the test succeeds.

Using

: (expand-file-name "test.txt")

in place of

: (concat default-directory "test.txt)

cleans out the double slash and succeeds either with `make test' or 
interactively.


So, maybe make that change?

We need more information to answer this. 

What exactly did you try (configured variables, #+DATE keyword ...)?
What Org version are you using? What did you expect?

Hi,

I recently research that a little.  I think a good place to start is the

one option.

[O] project website from org

[Julian M. Burgos]

Dear list,

I have given the task to set up a website to display the research in one
of our projects.  I have little experience with html and website
maintenance, so I think this would be a good opportunity to learn.  I
would like to create the content for the website in org-mode (of
course).  Do you have any recommendations for tools to generate a static
website from org-mode?  Is a combo of Jekyll and GitHub pages a good
option?

Many thanks,

Julian

[O] Formatting dates in org-html postamble

[Pavel Panchekha]

I've been trying to set the date format in the HTML postamble. It looks
like a date given in #+DATE is not being formatted according to the date
format specification, but if no #+DATE is given, the format specification
is used.

Is this intended behavior—should I write formatted dates in #+DATE?
