Agenda restrictions are awkward to work with.  I recommend using org-ql
for this sort of thing, since it's designed to do things like this.
This seems to work:

(defun nn/agenda-item-todos ()
  (interactive)
  (org-with-point-at (org-get-at-bol 'org-marker)
(save-restriction
  (org-narrow-to-subtree)
  (org-ql-search (current-buffer)
'(todo)
:narrow t

I'm getting there - I found

(org-element-property :PROJ (org-element-at-point)) from a regular org-mode
file -
now I just need to jump there from the agenda.

[O] Help with "macro"

[Nathan Neff]

I'm trying to implement a function to display the TODO items of the
currently highlighted
item in the agenda and have a few questions:

Goal:

1) From the agenda, place the cursor on a heading.
2) Press a key and instantly narrow the agenda to the heading which the
cursor is on.
3) Display org-todo-list for the "narrowed" item in a new buffer, with the
name "agenda for " or perhaps "agenda for 

[O] Bug and quick bugfix

[Godefroy]

Hello,

As it is my first email to the list, please forgive me if I do anything
the wrong way.

I recently encountered a bug when exporting an org file to LaTeX: when
generating a figure with a caption, the LaTeX result has the following
shape:

\begin{figure}
…
\caption{\label{…}
Content of the caption}
\end{figure}

When compiling to LaTeX, the carriage return causes a indesirable white
space in some cases. What I would expect is:

\begin{figure}
…
\caption{Content of the caption}
\label{…}
\end{figure}

To fix this, I have changed the org-latex--caption/label-string function
in ox-latex.el on lines 1314 and 1315:

(format (if nonfloat "\\captionof{%s}%s{%s%s}\n"
 "\\caption%s%s{%s%s}\n")

becomes

(format (if nonfloat "\\captionof{%s}%s{%s}\n%s"
 "\\caption%s%s{%s}\n%s")

I hope that this bug report and the quickfix I found will help you.

Sincerely,

Godefroy Vannoye

[O] Quoting of noweb references and variable noweb function arguments

[Cody Goodman]

I'm having an issue with quoting noweb functions. Since quote is used to
signify a variable being passed into the noweb syntax function call I
cannot put a quote around theno web function call and end up with invalid
bash.

I feel like I had this working at some point and it turned out that
:results value smartly handles quoting the values or something. I keep
seeming to run into the problem though of needing something like:

echo "<>
   echo $json | jq $jqExpr
   #+end_src

   #+RESULTS: get-login-json-value
   | sh: line 2: hunter2 | : command not found |
** result: sh: line 2: hunter2 | : command not found |
* get login token function using previous functions
** code
   #+name: get-login-token
   #+call:
get-login-json-value(logValUserVar="user3",logValUserPass="user3",".loginToken")

   #+RESULTS: get-login-token
** result: nothing, because the previous step fails
