The specific commit where it happened was 26ed66b23335eb389f1f2859e409f46f66279e15, which says: "Deducing the results from some other arguments is not obvious. Moreover, it prevents users from setting, e.g., :file-ext, in a node property, as every block would then create a file." The commit also links to this thread: http://lists.gnu.org/r/emacs-orgmode/2018-05/msg00469.html I wasn't involved in that discussion, but I think the idea is that you could create a subtree with many named source blocks each creating a PNG file, set the :file-ext parameter at the subtree level, and have the file names auto-created from the source block names. > The documentation for ob-R is now incorrect: > > https://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/languages/ob-doc-R.html Yes, also that page could use some other updates, e.g. there are some dead links in there.
Re: Testimony on how to publish a book using Org-mode
At first glance this is indeed interesting and I must study it carefully. Thank you for pointing this out. I have published quite a number of books (both fiction and non-fiction) starting with org-mode. Inevitably, though, there is lots of hand work with LaTeX, and anything to reduce that will be very welcome. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via Gnus/BBDB/Org/Emacs/Linux

Re: Testimony on how to publish a book using Org-mode
This sounds pretty interesting. I have been thinking for a while about a setup for scientific publishing with org-mode. I am curious to learn more about what they have setup. I will probably spend some time this spring updating how I do this kind of thing myself.

Hi Jeremie,
I tried with `:results output graphics`, and with the file as jpg, and also as
pdf. In all cases I still get the same result : no link is inserted.
I first noticed this with the org version that was released at the end of
December, and confirmed that the problem was still present in the latest
version released today. I'm pretty confident that this worked prior to the
December release.
Thanks,
Tyler

Hello,
I don't have the lastest.version of org-mode so i can't confirm.
But could you try with the option
:results output graphics :file test.pdf

Bug: R src blocks fail to produce link to graphics file [9.3 org-plus-contrib-20200127]
To reproduce:
1. Start from `emacs -Q`
2. open the following org file:
```
#+BEGIN_SRC elisp setup
(require 'package)
(setq package-load-list
'((org-plus-contrib t)
(ess t)
(julia-mode t)))
(package-initialize)
(require 'org)
(require 'ess)
(org-babel-do-load-languages
'org-babel-load-languages
'((emacs-lisp . t)
(R . t)
(shell . t)))
#+END_SRC
#+RESULTS:
#+begin_src R :results graphics :file test.jpg
plot (1:10)
#+end_src
```
3. Evaluate the first code block (C-c C-c) to load ess and setup babel to
evaluate R code blocks
4. Evaluate the second code block.
What I expect:
A `#+RESULTS:` block is inserted, with a link to the file test.jpg;
What happens instead:
A message appears in the minibuffer: 'Code block produced no output'.
This worked previously. I'm not sure when it broke - sometime in the last two
months I think, as I demoed this feature for colleagues in November.

With src blocks, there can be shared state, e.g. one block computes something another uses. If anyone is interested in how to use emacs in scripts, see http://kitchingroup.cheme.cmu.edu/blog/2014/08/11/Using-org-mode-outside-of-Emacs-sort-of/ It just doesn't make sense to me to have to write an emacs shell script/command like that, when there is already a src block with just the elisp commands in them that does just that. In that post, I show how you could call that block from a shell command, but I don't think that is really what I want. What I am doing is more aligned with the org-publish capability, where you effectively can have targets with specific directions on how to build each component. You can publish one component, or one file, or the whole project. It has at least some primitive checking of whether an org-file is newer than the output file expected. I have to confess I have struggled to get a project defined that does what I need here though. For example, in my proposal project, I have to submit a pdf of the body with no references in it, and a pdf of just the references. That is done by two separate exports. One is straightforward, it just uses \nobibliography to get just the body with all the correct citations, but no references at the end. That step generates a .bbl file that is used in the second export, where I remove the body in a copy of the generated tex file, insert the contents of the bbl file, and then build the pdf from that. I don't know of a more straightforward way to do this. > > But I believe you're looking for something better, Python is great, but, it > shouldn't be applied to every problem I am just looking for another way to use src blocks in org-mode to build documents that require complicated manipulations, powered by elisp. I am not advocating for or suggesting Python be used for every build problem. It is a preference to not add more files, e.g. by tangling the src blocks just so I can use make. Even when I have done this, it is always triggered by running a src block in an org file that first tangles everything, and then runs a shell command.

I am not yet convinced it is necessary to think of building org-files that way just because it works so well for code. You can do this all within the elisp environment where you are editing the org file. Once that works, why abstract it out to a shell command? Why not have some easy way to just run the blocks that build what you want? make/shell programs fall flat on their face in the following way: In an elisp script we have the finest tooling around to see the docstrings of any function, definitions of variables, to navigate to function definitions, and to debug and step through the code. This makes this approach so superior to anything else in my opinion, it is hard to argue any other feature of

This is the kind of thing I was hoping this thread would unearth. This seems kind of like rake from ruby, where the build scripts are written in the language you are building from.

I thought (hoped?) maybe someone else had worked out something similar, and had a better idea. -- 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

Why involve > other layers when Emacs can directly evaluate elisp? It is just a reflection of how long some of the build blocks are. They frequently let-bind variables and functions to achieve some particular goal for the specific project. Since it is a one-time block, I don't usually make it a function, and the code exists in a src block. "M-:" isn't convenient for me in this scenario. > > Best wishes, > Neil -- 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

Thanks - I now understand better. You may want to hack something together based on this: #+begin_src emacs-lisp (replace-regexp-in-string "::+" ":" (mapconcat (lambda(s) (if (stringp (car s)) (car s))) org-tag-alist ":")) #+end_src -- Bastien
Testimony on how to publish a book using Org-mode
Dear all, I recently met the authors of this book, entirely publish using Org-mode: https://ima.circex.org/storie/0-intro/index.html They explain how they do this here: https://ima.circex.org/vulgo_en.html I thought it might be of interest for those hackers who want to dive in and try publishing large texts with Org-mode. Please send me a private email if you want to get in touch with one of the author for details on their setup. Enjoy! -- Bastien
Help needed on improving Org-mode Wikipedia article
Dear all, there is a nice article on Wikipedia about Org-mode: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Org-mode There are also localized versions: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Org-mode https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Org-mode And a wikidata entry: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q307228 If you want to help improving these resources, please go ahead: I suspect they are largely used as an entry point for our favorite free software. Anyone can go ahead and edit them. Thanks! -- Bastien

This may not be the solution you are looking for, but maybe a good source of ideas: https://github.com/doublep/eldev Another idea: Just use a (configurable) function name or source block name to look for in a document. Then some magic function (say org-compile-document) can look for a custom function/block inside the document (e.g. look for a marked source block) and execute it, if found. If no custom function/block is found, some default action will be executed (e.g. ask user what to do, run pre-configured default export action etc.). -- Until the next mail..., Stefan.
