And (shameless plug) if you're using EBDB, you can set both `ebdb-use-diary' and `org-agenda-include-diary' to t, and anniversaries will show in the agenda.

FWIW, I just get the last line:

#+BEGIN_SRC R :var x=6 :results output :session *R*
a <-sprintf("%.2f",12.234324)

Note that buffers for files on the old value of 'org-agenda-files that are already open will be killed, too. Regards Thomas

[O] Problems with inline source blocks
Hi everyone,
several issues with inline source blocks:
1) https://orgmode.org/manual/Exporting-code-blocks.html states:
> The :exports header arguments control exporting code blocks only and
> not inline code:
but
https://orgmode.org/manual/Using-Header-Arguments.html#Using-Header-Arguments
gives as example:
> src_haskell[:exports both]{fac 5}
Which one is true?
2) I cannot get the results of inline blocks to be exported.
When I have a file that contains:
> Test: src_R[:exports results]{4*4} {{{results(=16=)}}}
then the code is always exported but the results are only exported up to
623cc4625950f84442d4cde0faa9cc3ea0233283
but starting from 65ebb128bc380fe4795dedd655d6f7b685249842
the results macro is ignored and the result never appears.
Looking at online documentation (other projects) like
https://org-babel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/eval/#inline-code-blocks I realize
that this may be a
problem in general (look at the Example sections, such as "The answer to 2 + 3
is .")
3) The source block never gets evaluated. I tried
src_sh{touch /tmp/test21.txt}
but this file doesn't get created, only when I execute it directly.
Can anyone point out what I'm doing wrong, or is this actually a bug? I can't
even get a basic
source block like
#+begin_src R :results output :session *R* :exports none
5*5
#+end_src
to ignore the code when exporting (but it's not evaluated).
Thanks!

Re: [O] Temporarily setting agenda files list, cleaning up
For running code that should close all buffers that were opened, I use a macro like this: (defmacro with-no-new-buffers ( body) "Run BODY, and kill any new buffers created. Returns whatever BODY would return." (let ((current-buffers (buffer-list))) `(prog1 (progn ,@body) (mapc (lambda (buf) (unless (-contains? ',current-buffers buf) (kill-buffer buf))) (buffer-list) For the other kinds of things you listed, check out https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-notebook.org, especially the nb-agenda function. It is more than you want, you can choose a project, and then get an agenda for the org-files in that project. Another example is at https://github.com/jkitchin/scimax/blob/master/scimax-journal.el#L284 where I get an agenda for journal entries in a date range. You can use this idea generally, you let-bind the org-agenda-files variable to be the list you want, and then call org-agenda. These are a work in progress, but I use them pretty often. You can restrict the agenda to a file, and even select search with something like this: (org-agenda nil "s" "<") John --- Professor John Kitchin Doherty Hall A207F Department of Chemical Engineering Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 412-268-7803 @johnkitchin http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu On Mon, May 27, 2019 at 8:11 AM Christoph Groth wrote: > Hello, > > I would like to expand my use of Org for notes, and to this end spread > project-specific org files across my home directory (currently I'm using > a central directory with one agenda file per year).

[O] Temporarily setting agenda files list, cleaning up
Hello, I would like to expand my use of Org for notes, and to this end spread project-specific org files across my home directory (currently I'm using a central directory with one agenda file per year). For obvious reasons, I can't possibly include all these org files in org-agenda-files permanently and have them open in Emacs all the time. Instead, I'm thinking of a setup as follows: I'll reserve org-agenda-files for active projects only. But there will be many other org files (for projects that are finished or dormant, general notes, etc.), that I would like to be able to search as well. I saw that some people have solved this problem with a custom search solution, even using a database [1], but I think that for my purposes a simpler solution mostly using Org's built-in functionality will do. I'm also aware of org-agenda-text-search-extra-files, keeping all my extra files there is not satisfactory, because the search possibilities are limited (and otherwise it poses the same questions that I will ask further below). Instead, I imagine a custom Emacs command to launch an agenda with org-agenda-files that is temporarily set to a list of files that depends on the current context. For starters, this list could contain all the org files under the current directory: (split-string (shell-command-to-string "find `pwd`/* -name '*.org' -type f") "\n" t) This way, I could easily explore the org files that belong to specific subsets of my activities and interests. I could also search *all* my notes, when needed (for now the time this takes should not be a problem). I wonder if anyone has tried a similar setup and would be willing to share his experience and ideas. Specifically, I wonder about the following points: * Do you see any obvious problems with the above idea? * In Elisp, what is the best way to temporarily set org-agenda-files and later reset it back to the standard value? * How to automatically close unneeded org buffers that were opened for the temporarily agenda? The command org-agenda-exit is not satisfactory, because it also kills the buffers that one has just found due to the search, and also it's not automatic. Perhaps one could close the buffers immediately once the agenda view has been created?
