Re: [O] Re: zotero (or mendeley) integration with org
I just use refmode to insert bib citations into my org-files. Both Zotero and Mendeley can export bibtex files, so that's one method of semi-automating the process (Mendeley will automatically update the file for you - not sure about Zotero).

I haven't untangled storage of PDFs and linking to BibTeX, and I haven't found a solution to organizing it all through orgmode. An important piece of the puzzle, though, needs mention: cb2bib helps semi-automate making a BibTeX entry from a citation, or Google Scholar BibTeX output. I wonder if it would help to use orgmode for bibtex *.bib files. I think comments can be included in those files. Or does it also work the other way around, that any file can be used as a bibtex source database? Matt's workflow makes sense. Alan Davis
Re: [O] Re: Continuation of main section text after subsections ?
You can't do that, as it would be akin to trying to have in a book Section 1 Stuff Section 1.1.1 More stuff Now this goes under Section 1 Not really an idiom that makes sense (I find its best to think of org-mode's headings as chapter headers What you can do is something like the following: * Main headline Something goes here #+BEGIN_NOTE sub thoughts #+END_NOTE Some more stuff under main headline The #stuff can be closed when you want it to get it out of the way, so I sometimes use this a means of attaching notes to a document. It works, but I'm sure it could be improved. That way you can also have different exporting options for the note if you really want them.

Re: [O] Re: Continuation of main section text after subsections ?
Wouldn't blocks that allowed org headings offer this. If I understand this correctly, what you're really looking for is the ability to mark certain bits of text as one blob, so that you can move them around easily as you draft a paper, without worrying about pulling other bits of the paper. So this would work: * First level blah blah ** Second level #+BEGIN_block some text * Third level because all headings within the block are treated as subheadings of the containing level ** Fourth level This is some rubbish that I'm not sure about #+END_BLOCK This is different rubbish that will stay here if I cut the block above me Would something along those lines serve?

For electronic texts however, especially in the drafting stage where (sub-)sections get shuffled around, promoted, demoted, split etc. it does make sense, to me at least. When writing I tend to think about org headings as 'handles' to a logical block of information, including its child blocks. Apparently my analogy clashes with what org-mode wants. I had my hopes on a customization option.

Re: [O] zotero (or mendeley) integration with org
I use Mendeley and just set it up to export bibtex files. Then you can just reference those in org-mode using reftex. I think you can do something similar using zotero. It works okay. I don't annotate PDFs using Mendeley (I just write my notes in org-mode), so I'm not sure if you can access those somehow? But as a system for managing PDFs it's adequate.

Now that there is an alpha release of 'org-standalone' http://www.zotero.org/blog/2011/02/ has anyone looked at whether this helps integrate org and zotero? I've not yet switched to a pdf manager (they're all stuffed into a folder, with a few subfolders, and the only meta-data is in the filename!), so I'd appreciate hearing what others to do to look after their pdfs. Mendeley is a possibility too (although syncing between machines is a must, and Mendeley doesn't offer that yet.) Stephen

Can you separate out the gnus specific code at some point. If I ever get any time (two small children and a day job, so big if) I'd like to integrate it into Wanderlust.

Bastien bastiengue...@googlemail.com writes: Hi Cian, Its just that when drafting papers I tend to have lots and lots of indentation in early drafts, and while narrowing trees is a godsend, the unnecessary (for my purposes) indentation is slightly annoying. If the purpose of such a temporary display is to make the export render the structure of the narrowed buffer as if it was a top-level subtree, then I agree this is useful. You can already achieve this by selecting the whole narrowed subtree (with transient-mark-mode on) and exporting the region. Not really. Its simply a convenience method that I can probably hack for myself, but didn't want to if it already existed. Its simply when I'm drafting I tend to work in subtrees, and it becomes (for my purposes) quite unwieldy when working with large trees (as I tend to). The indent when I'm working with the narrowed buffer is a waste of space, and it also makes it difficult for me to work out what level I'm working at with a simple eyeball at the structure. However I can quite cheerfully see that this is not something most people would want/need. But maybe a narrowed tree should be considered as a selected region by default...

Re: [Orgmode] Narrow tSparse Trees layout
Oh sorry, I was using the wrong terminology. I don't mean sparse trees at all, I meant narrow trees. It would be nice if there was an option so that narrowed trees are displayed without their normal indentation. So for example if narrow a subtree at level 4, then it is displayed as a normal tree at level 1 rather than as a tree starting at level 4 as currently happens. Its just that when drafting papers I tend to have lots and lots of indentation in early drafts, and while narrowing trees is a godsend, the unnecessary (for my purposes) indentation is slightly annoying.

[Orgmode] Refiling within a document
I really like refiling functionality in org-mode and use it quite a bit. However one thing that annoys me is that quite often I simply want to refile in the same buffer. Is there a way to do this that I've missed? Or do I simply have to select the name of the current buffer as I currently do.

One of the things that I find astonishing is that it does so many disparate things so well. For planning and organising there is nothing to match its flexibility AND its power; yet it doesn't force any particular method of organising on you. They all work, and you can be as sloppy as you like. As an outliner...well it is THE outliner as far as I'm concerned. For years I've been searching for the perfect writing tool. I found it. Cian Until about a month ago, I was a non-emacs user; and indeed, I thought it's bad looking and, in some respects, primitive. The reason I started using it anyway is org-mode: I wanted a decent outliner, and none of the others I tried fit my way of working. So I gave it a try despite the way it looks. Now I use emacs+org-mode for outlining, planning, taking notes, drafting papers, and almost anything else that has to do with text.

[Orgmode] Bug Report for emacs 23 and follow-mode
Hi, I'm using a fairly recent build of Emacs 23 on windows (23.0.94.1), and while follow-mode seems to work fine for ordinary files, it does not work in .org files. Instead I get a blank screen for the second buffer. I'm using the latest version of org-mode (from the website, not CVS). Interestingly it seems to be working fine for the Agenda mode. I cleared out my .emacs file and this didn't make any difference, so I don't think its anything weird in my config, though I can try again if this is not replicable for anyone.
