[O] Org Mode dedicated app on OS X
Hi, I'm just beginning to use org-mode on OS X. I'm in a terminal a lot, and in Aquamacs Emacs a lot too, but not all the time. To make it easier to use org-mode, I would like to give it a dedicated app with the org-mode icon (unicorn) in the dock. Is there a way to do this? Fluid.app is a single site browser (SSB) that sort of turns web pages into desktop apps. I would like something similar for Emacs. I think one way might be to make a copy of Aquamacs Emacs, change the icon, and then edit the info.plist or some internal file so that when it launches it launches directly into org-mode, loading some keystrokes to my default view. Has anyone else done something similar? Is anyone else interested in something like this? Any suggestions how to go about doing it? Thanks, -k.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for the tips. Most already done.

Yes I've followed the initial instructions and love that emacs knows
modes based on file extension and/or content.
If you put this line into your .bashrc file:
alias e=open -a /Applications/Aquamacs.app/
you can do this from the commandline:
e somefile.org
I use this:
eee() { if [ ! -e $@ ]; then touch $@; fi; /sw/bin/launch -m -a Aquamacs
$@; }
I also have copied Aquamacs.app, renamed it OrgMode.app, and have
the unicorn as the icon. I'm a bit stuck on the last step you
suggest.
If you are thinking about a distribution-like approach (so it
works out-of-the-box for others) you would probably need to copy
your changes to a
/Applications/Aquamacs.app/Contents/Resources/site-lisp
directory.
I don't need it to distribute it to 3rd parties, but I'm not opposed
to setting it up like that. What files should I put in the
directory? And what contents? And how do I get emacs to auto-load
them? I'm still figuring out a workflow so please let me know if
this makes sense, but I'm picturing something like this:
* I launch my OrgMode.app
* It opens and (via its internal site-lisp magic) loads
~/Dropbox/Org/index.org
* index.org is a file I'll maintain manually that links to my other
org files so I can access them using the inter-linking ability in
org-mode
* If something like index.org can be automated that would be OK, but
I don't mind maintaning it as my meta-org file. Perhaps based on
something like I have now in my .emacs:
(setq org-agenda-files (list ~/Dropbox/org/foo.org
~/Dropbox/org/bar.org))
-k.
Re: [O] Basic vcard-to-org-contacts converter

[O] Mac OS Alias file links
I use links to files quite often in Org Mode. Either by C-l file: or drag-and-drop (with smart-dnd). But when files move, the links break. BibDesk solves this by storing Mac OS Aliases to files. Then if files move, the alias still works. BibDesk actually stores more: The Bdsk-File entries store Mac OS aliases, which contain a file ID and absolute path. Bdsk-File entries also store a relative path, which is used if the alias is broken. Is there a way to add this feature to Org Mode? Yes, obviously, since this is emacs and Org Mode. But has anyone already done this? Any advice where to start? Thanks, -k.

Hi Bastien,
Thanks for letting me know it displays properly and email received. The
URL works for me this morning too.
On 2014-04-14 at 05:22, Bastien wrote:
Even for those who uses MacOSX, you should perhaps be more specific
on how Org-mode would store such links, then somebody might step up.
Aliases are a type of links (ln on linux, shortcut on Windows
alias on OS X (OS X of course also supports ln)). The difference
between an OS X alias and ln is that if the target is moved, the OS X
alias still points to it, and double-clicking on an alias (or issuing
the open command in a terminal) will open the target, wherever it
is. I just checked in a VM and Windows Shortcuts also behave this way.
Therefore, if in addition to file: there were an alias: option, Org
could link to files that move. I think this is a powerful feature. I
imagine alias: would be an option when I press C-cl, and a way to set
it as the default when I press C-ucl.
That is, links would be [[alias:foo][FileName]] where foo is a string
version (hashed?) of the alias.
In BibDesk, foo is ~1200 characters long, and according to the BibDesk
documentation, that ~1200 characters is:
The Bdsk-File entries store Mac OS aliases, which contain a file ID
and absolute path. Bdsk-File entries also store a relative path, which
is used if the alias is broken.
So it looks like an Alias can be hashed some way and stored as just a
string. An example BibDesk entry in by BibTeX file looks like:
@article{citekey,
Author = {Someone},
Journal = {Nature},
Pages = {24--42},
Title = {{A Paper}},
Bdsk-File-1 = {YnBsa...etc for 1200 characters...}}
Opening the file with C-o would involve un-hashing it, and then treating
it the same way a file: is opened.
I imagine Org would mostly store the links the same way it stores file
links. The change would be that since the link is the alias (long ugly
string), the description would be required, and perhaps default to
/path/to/filename. Although since the whole point is that the /path/to/
can change, perhaps the default name would just be filename.
-k.

If it does not, then maybe that's where the capability should be added. Org seems to be the wrong place for it. But note that everything I know about aliases, I learnt in the last five minutes, so I could be way off the mark. This requires me to 1) manually make an alias (something I never do), 2) choose where to store that alias on disk, and then 3) link to the alias in Org. Worse, the situation is not improved or difference since if the alias moves, the Org link (to the alias) is broken. I'm imagining the alias never exists on disk. Just as a representation inside Org, and pointing to the target file. Now the link can never break, unless the target is deleted. And there is no additional effort on our part beyond the existing work to make a link. -k. P.S. How does one make a link to a folder or directory in org?

If I understand correctly, this only works through Finder and not from a shell and POSIXfile access functions. Whether or not Emacs could use aliases therefore depends on what interface it is using to access files on MacOS (I have no idea). When you say this only works I'm not sure what you are referring to. I assume creation and/or access. * Creation Yes creating Aliases is a Finder function, although creation can be scripted from the shell through the osascript CLI utility provided on OSX. * Access Some access works through the shell. If I make a link to an alias in Org, opening the link works and is handled by the system for all the different types of files I can create an alias to. But an alias is not like an ln-like link. It presents to the OS as its own file, so if you try to edit an alias to a plain text file, you get a bunch of garbage (the alias), not the plain text file. In my fantasy, the link wouldn't be to an alias file, it would *contain the alias* the way the BibDesk field does. Therefore C-o on an alias: link would require extra code: Decode the alias, then pass it off to the system. I just checked in a VM and Windows Shortcuts also behave this way. No, they don't. Explorer does find the file if you move it into a subfolder and will ask you to tell it where it went if it doesn't find it, but any direct access through that shortcut will fail as if the file didn't exist. Also, WIndows shortcuts and Windows links are two totally different things and links don't follow moving targets either. My system is different. I'm not sure why. I have an XP VM. I created a New Text Document file on the desktop. I right-click, and select Create Shortcut. I have a new shortcut on the desktop. I moved the original file elsewhere (C:\, My Documents, etc. not just subfolders), double-clicked on the shortcut (still on Desktop), and the original file opened. I could edit and save it and saves were placed into the relocated file. If direct access you mean POSIX-level access, then perhaps. I don't know. But I think emacs can operate on files at a higher level. -k.

Exactly! For this to work as you fantasize, you would need to enable the Finder application to modify the part of the *.org file that encodes the alias when you change the location of the aliased file just as the Finder does to the alias when the location of the aliased file is modified in the Finder. I don't think so. I'm not sure how BibDesk handles it, but my BibTeX file is not modified when I move the PDF that is linked to an entry via that 1200 character field that encodes the alias. Clearly BibDesk does something neat to encode and decode that field, but once created, the OS nor Finder know anything about that line or the file containing it. I don't think Finder would need to know about a string in an Org file either. OTOH, writing an AppleScript to make an alias in a folder that is never moved, writing elisp to call that script and then make an org-mode link to the alias just created might work for you. Yes this would work too as a hack. -k.

I've been using reftex in Org - LaTeX for a while and have my Org text
sprinkled with \cite{foo:}. I just saw the customized
reftex-cite-format from Clément (above). It looks much nicer in the
text, but raises two questions:
1) Can the link just use lastname? It looks like %A is the only way to
access author names, and does full names, so perhaps not without writing
some custom function? And more importantly,
2) When I export this to LaTeX, it is not treated as a proper LaTeX
citation. The text is just the %A (%y) part. Is there some way to
export so that the ref:%l turns into a \cite{%l}?
Thanks,
-k.

The ref is a custom link type, you can define those in org with
`org-add-link-type`, and they allow control over the export
behaviour. See the previous posts in this thread for an example.
Ah! Got it. This is really nice. Thank you.
I find the best way to support ODT is simply add something like this:
((eq format 'odt)
(format (%s) desc))
This doesn't create a bibliography section, but that section is awkward
to export to anyway. It requires the 3rd party Org hack that isn't
officially supported, java, jabref, is awfully slow (~2
seconds/reference), etc. I now put the references inline as above, and
then manually add the references by exporting to PDF and copying/paste
that reference section.
Not great, but less of a hack than ODT-supported references, and working
with ODT/Word is a hack anyway.

I hadn't noticed that before, but now that you mention it, I
think this is related to the way you format your bib file.
For example %A (%y) with:
1. name = {Darwin, Charles}
year = {1859}
will yield Darwin (1859)
2. name = {Charles Darwin}
year = {1859}
will yield Charles Darwin (1859)
Not very consistent. This might be something to take to the AUCTeX
guys.
I've asked about this here:

I can then easily insert the text I want into the (). It exports

[O] minted in Org 8.6
When I export w/ the latest Org all code environments are verbatim, not minted. I'm using a test example from https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-11/msg00585.html which is: #+begin_src emacs-lisp ;; minted latex export (setq org-export-latex-listings 'minted org-export-latex-minted-options '((frame lines) (fontsize \\scriptsize) (linenos ))) #+end_src If I test this with emacs -Q, it works. If I test it with my default, code is exported as verbatim. This suggests the bug is in an init file of mine. However, I have removed all Org sections of my init file. I am fairly confident this is not a setting of mine, since if I look at the current state included in a org-submit-bug-report, the state is almost the same between emacs and emacs -Q, the only difference being Org 7.9 v. Org 8.6, and a few default settings that have changed between the two. Could this be a setting set somewhere else that is not included in the bug report? How would I find it? Or is it a bug w/ minted export in the latest Org? Thanks, -k.

I've found latexmk to be the best tool for compiling LaTeX documents. It runs all necessary commands as many times as needed, including pdflatex, bibtex, biblatex, etc.. It is fairly smart and will run the command to make the index if you load the index, for example. It can run in daemon mode and monitor the included files (and graphics) so if one of those changes, the PDF is regenerated. I prefer daemon mode, so I bring up a terminal and run latexmk file.tex in the folder where I'm working on file.org. This also speeds things up, since exporting to latex is fast, but compiling is slow. I can export and still use emacs, rather than waiting for the compile to finish. But if you want to run latexmk from Org, that works too. The -pvc- turns off the preview continuous mode (daemon). (setq org-latex-pdf-process (list /usr/texbin/latexmk -f -gg -pvc- %f)) -k.

My ~/.latexmkrc file is below. It appears I have extra functions for

for latexmk on TeX.SE

But as I said, I find I prefer to bring up a terminal in the directory

monitoring mode. When I want to clean up a project I'll run latexmk -c
file.tex to discard all of the temporary files. I have Skim.app or

[O] export section body but not section title
Is there a way (tag?) in Org to export the body but not the title/heading? For example, * Section 1 :noexport: Some Text * Section 2 Some more text Would not export the Some Text or any part of Section 1. I'd like to export the Some Text text, just not the title Section 1. Use Case: More sections and collapsability in the Org doc makes writing/organizing easier, but the journal format doesn't allow any sections except one (Supplemental Material). Is this supported in Org as-is, or does it require a bit of Lisp code? I'd be happy for a LaTeX-specific solution. -k.

[O] Adding export option for babel language
I'd like to add support for PythonTeX to Org Babel
https://github.com/gpoore/pythontex
The motivation is that PythonTeX is a better literate environment than
just Org + Babel, because it can print results inline just like an
interactive Python session, instead of all the code followed by all the
results.
This is just a modification to the existing LaTeX export for python, it
is not support for a new language. I'm new to Org development and seek
advice how to begin approaching the solution.
I'd like the python code blocks to behave just as they do now, but if I
have set (setq org-latex-listings 'pythontex) instead of (setq
org-latex-listings 'minted), then instead of wrapping python code blocks
with:
\begin{minted}[]{python}
x+2
print x
\end{minted}
It should wrap them with
\begin{pyconsole}
x+2
print x
\end{pyconsole}
I found out that the minted export is handled in ox-latex.el, and I
assume I could get pythontex support by going through that file and
tearing it down and building it back up with pythontex in place of
minted, but I also noticed this:
;; Case 2. Custom environment.
(custom-env (format \\begin{%s}\n%s\\end{%s}\n
custom-env
(org-export-format-code-default src-block info)
custom-env))
Can I take advantage of this code? It seems like this might be the
support for Special Blocks
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-special-blocks.html But that
page says that the code is obsolete. And a special block won't be
treated as a python org babel block in the Org file, which is important.
Any advice where I should start digging to add pythontex support will be
much appreciated.
Thanks,

[O] Org + Elpy Python + IPython
FYI Org + Elpy + IPython all play nicely now. There have been some previous posts about people (me included) having trouble using the full IPython stack in Org Mode. Some of those problems were limited to when using sessions, and others only if trying to take full advantage of the nice Python support provided by Elpy (enabled via the (elpy-use-ipython) command). I think the primary issue was Org text analysis on the prompt which in IPython becomes In [n]:. This is solved with the --classic flag to ipython. With this setup: (setq org-babel-python-command ipython --pylab=qt4 --pdb --nosep --classic --no-banner --no-confirm-exit) I now have Org, Python, IPython, and Elpy (including (elpy-use-ipython)) all running together in session and non-session mode. -k.

A quick-and-dirty approach to do just that much would be to write an export

http://orgmode.org/worg/dev/org-export-reference.html#filter-system

I've briefly looked at the filters. Yes, it seems like that might be one
way to do this. But I have a hunch it is already implemented, and that I
just don't know how to access it or what variable to set.
See:
http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/tree/lisp/ox-latex.el#n2280
Where Case 1 is no fontification, Case 3 is minted, and Case 2 is
custom. I can see that if `custom-env` is set correctly, it wraps the
code exactly as I want above:
(custom-env (format \\begin{%s}\n%s\\end{%s}\n

(org-export-format-code-default src-block info)

But I'm not sure where to set custom-env, although I know I want to set

Re: [O] Adding export option for babel language
I figured it out:
(setq org-latex-custom-lang-environments
'((python pyconsole)))
And of course \usepackage{pythontex} somewhere.
This is really nice. Now the Org buffer behaves as before, but the
exported LaTeX has the python code appear as if it were run right there
in an interactive session. I set :export code so the Org results are
not shown in the PDF, and PythonTeX re-generates the results and puts
them inline!

Pandoc is a treat and clearly the way to go, at least until

Your post gave me hope that Org - LaTeX - docx (via pandoc) would work

I use pandoc like this:

First, you should differentiate between whether the problem is in

From what you describe above, the problem seems to be in Org-LaTeX

For me, $W m^{-2}$ in Org produces correct LaTeX markup, and I get a good

Yes that equation problem seems to be due to me and Org-LaTeX.

[O] Org based websites w/o export
I've just come across an interesting website generator that I think has potential for making Org websites. I have no affiliation with this project, but thought it might interest this community. I have an interest in an org-based website, but none of the existing ones have met my needs yet. Jr https://github.com/Xeoncross/jr is a static static (yes 2x) site generator. Most static site generators work by you writing markdown, then you converting to HTML locally, and then you uploading the static HTML pages. Existing Org site generators work like this to, I think - export to markdown and then convert again with Jekyll. Or of course you can convert Org to HTML directly. Jr works by having javascript render the markdown to HTML. That is, you write markdown, upload markdown w/o running a generator, and the generator runs in the browser of the viewer. This is efficient for the server (simpler pages) and author (no need to run a static site generator), but may be globally inefficient for a popular site (many browser doing rendering). If Jr or a fork rendered Org to HTML instead of Markdown to HTML, then we could have website that are directly written in Org. A starting place for this is the existing Javascript support for Org here http://orgmode.org/manual/JavaScript-support.html but that still requires you to export the Org file to HTML before uploading it to the web. Anyway... maybe of interest to some of y'all. I'll be watching that program develop and may be contributing to an Org port of it as I have time. -k.

If these tags are not part of `org-export-exclude-tags' they won't affect exporting, but you can still use them to build your agenda or a sparse tree or so. A simple example where tags don't work, nothing to do with agenda. Some paper formats (Nature, for example) do not allow headings or sub-headings. It is just 2 pages of text. But it is certainly nice to write the paper and organize thoughts in sections and sub-sections. This is case 2.0 above. Each heading is tagged :noexport and it is not exported, but the content (text, figures, lists) below the heading is exported. I'm not sure how tags would help here, other than the tag of :noexport. Another common (for me) example is to have a heading called * Appendix in a paper, and then the LaTeX \appendix command. The Org heading is just for me. It should not be exported. All headings below the \appendix command are Org sub-sections but should be promoted to \section in the final document. -k.

Tags are already a more generic item so adding a new behavior isn't that dramatic (and is it new? :noexport: already exists), and multiple tags are supported. It seems a better place for the implementation. I vote for the following tags: + :noexport: Does not export item, content, and children. + :ignoreheading: Does not export heading.

[O] BEGIN_LATEX_HEADER [cont]
Hi, I'm following up on a thread suggesting a method to easily include large amounts of LaTeX header material. See https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-03/msg00480.html Please consider this a +1 for that feature request. One suggestion was: You could have a LaTeX block and tangle it to preamble.tex and input preamble.tex in a LATEX_HEADER. Which seems like an OK work-around. I have two follow-up questions about this. 1) I can't seem to get #+BEGIN_LATEX :tangle preamble.tex to work. It needs to be #+BEGIN_SRC latex :tangle preamble.tex Is this correct? Secondly, is there a way to automatically tangle one just this section each time I export the file? Or automatically all sections (but just in this file)? Thanks, -k.

Re: [O] emails written in Org Mode
Hi Thorsten and others, Thanks to your help I have it set up well. Here is my setup, based on the idea from John Kitchin to just switch major modes: 1. I've set mu4e so that the reply line starts with * (an Org section) like this: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (setq message-citation-line-format * On %Y-%m-%d at %R, %f wrote:) #+END_SRC Now, the quoted part of the email is its own section. 2. I've added a function to switch between org-mode and mu4e-compose-mode, and bound it to C-@, so I can easily swap modes: #+BEGIN_SRC emacs-lisp (defun kdm-mu4e-org-compose () Switch to/from mu4e-compose-mode and org-mode (interactive) (if (eq 'mu4e-compose-mode (buffer-local-value 'major-mode (current-buffer))) (org-mode) (mu4e-compose-mode))) (global-set-key \M-@ 'kdm-mu4e-org-compose) #+END_SRC With this, I read emails in mu4e. When I hit reply, I reply normally. If I want to drop into Org mode for the reply, I do so with M-@, use Org, and then M-@ back to mu4e before sending. I've just set this up. We'll see how well it works. mu4e used to support Org and I'm sure it will in the future, and then things might be better integrated, but I think this will work for now. -k. * On 2014-07-10 at 04:28, Thorsten Jolitz wrote: Ken Mankoff mank...@gmail.com writes: Hi Ken, orgstruct++-mode and orgtbl-mode help a lot.

Re: [O] Include lengthy LaTeX in export preamble
Hi Jacob,
#+LATEX_HEADER: does work on export (when else would it work?)
I think I recall a space between the : and the LaTeX command is
needed. Do you have one?
For more ideas on how to have lengthy custom headers, see thread here:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2014-06/msg00734.html
and links therein. There are three general approaches:
1) Make a custom class file and include that, either in your init file
or in the Org file.
2) From Aaron Ecay, put your header in a #+BEGIN_SRC latex section, and
then run a bit of lisp to export that section, and then include the
exported file in a #+LATEX_HEADER: \include{preamble}. This is the
approach I use.
,
| #+begin_src emacs-lisp
| (org-babel-goto-named-src-block preamble)
| (org-babel-tangle)
| #+end_src
|
| #+name: preamble
| #+begin_src latex :tangle preamble.tex
| % code goes here
| #+end_src
`
3) Implement a patch or pester developers to create a third simpler
solution.
Good luck,

[O] Bug: CAPTION space after 70th character (8.2.7c-71-g60418c-elpa)
I'm experiencing a strange Org bug in the latest few versions. If I have a #+CAPTION line, I can type my figure caption as I would expect. But as soon as I pass the 70th column, the spacebar triggers an error. I can type letters after the 70th column, but not a space. When I press the spacebar on the 70th or higher column, the mini-buffer says: Buffer ` *temp*-624801' still has clients; kill it? (y or n) I see no effect if I press y or n, and can continue to type letters, but any additional spaces repeats the error. If I change the line from #+CAPTION to anything else (##+CAPTION #+CAPTIONN etc.) the bug does not exhibit. -k.

When I press the spacebar on the 70th or higher column, the mini-buffer says: Buffer ` *temp*-624801' still has clients; kill it? (y or n) I can't reproduce using the latest version of org. Does this happen when you start Emacs with emacs -q? If not, it could be some third-party package causing the error. Try also M-x toggle-debug-on-error and make the error reappear. This should give insights in where the error occurs. debug-on-error doesn't help because there isn't actually an error as far as I can tell. It is a bug, not an error. Nothing shows up in *Messages* I've isolated the problem to this line: (add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill) Which I've had enabled for a long time, but has only recently been causing issues with CAPTION lines. I can re-create it only when that line is uncommented. Oddly, even the re-creation is complicated. I can't get the bug to show up in the primary window. I must launch a second frame. I can re-create it like this: $ /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.8/bin/emacs -Q load Org M-x auto-fill-mode #+CAPTION lots of text and spaces does not cause bug $ /usr/local/Cellar/emacs-mac/emacs-24.3-mac-4.8/bin/emacsclient -c foo.org #+CAPTION and now the bug exists after line 70 It doesn't appear if I open a new frame with C-x 5 2, only if I open a new frame with emacsclient from the command line. Some more strange behavior: If the bug appears and I close the frame, and then open the file again (find-file foo.org), the file (a massive ORG file) appears as *temp* in the modeline and the contents of the file are only the 1 line of the caption. If I kill buffer *temp* and then find-file again, the contents are correctly loaded. -k.

Odd; my suggestion should have given you a backtrace after hitting C-g, but I guess for some reason it didn’t work. Since you can trigger the undesired behavior with fill-paragraph, what about using edebug (info (elisp) Edebug) to instrument that function and then stepping through to see where the prompt is triggered? Triggered by the line (funcall function justify) I find it strange that y'all can't re-create this since I can do it with emacs -Q, although perhaps it is specific to the emacs-mac port. I'm happy to keep following instructions and dig deeper, but this is way outside the scope of my emacs/elisp skills. I'm happy to just invoke new frames with C-x 5 2 rather than emacsclient to work around this for now. -k.

So in addition to this only appearing in the emacs-mac port, it is also only in recent Org version. I now think this is related to the new feature of allowing multiple #+CAPTION lines, instead of just one #+CAPTION line. -k.

[O] \input causes conflict with LaTeX equation preview
I have

because \input{preamble} is exported to the equation preview preamble,
but no file preamble.tex is exported. The preamble.tex file is not
needed just to preview an equation.
Can anyone suggest a work-around?

[O] Effort entry and confusing effort estimates
Hi, I'm looking into effort and time tracking and have a few questions about efforts, 1) What is the difference between C-c C-x C-e and C-c C-x e? When I set an effort while clocked in, C-c C-x C-e asks for an effort and formats it in a format I understand such as 00:30 or 1d. When not clocked in, I have to use C-c C-x e (no CTRL for the last one) and it doesn't seem to parse my entry for a timestamp or convert from 8h to 1d. For example, I can enter an effort of aoeu and it accepts that. 2) When clocked in and using C-c C-x C-e, the conversion seems buggy: I enter - converted to 1d - 08:00 2d - 16:00 3d - 1d 00:00 4d - 1d 08:00 7d - 2d 08:00 1w - 1d 16:00 I get that 1 day is 8 hours, and 2d 8h == 1d 16h, but I'm still confused why 2d is 16h and 3d is 1d. Thanks, -k.
Re: [O] Effort entry and confusing effort estimates
Doh. I get the math now. 3d is 3*8h = 1d. Ok. Confusing but I get it. But I'm still confused what 'org-set-effort' expects/interprets compared to 'org-clock-modify-effort-estimate'. Any clarification will be much appreciated. Thanks, -k.

Any clarification will be much appreciated. `org-set-effort' allows you to _set_ the effort value. `org-clock-modify-effort-estimate' allows you to either set the effort value (e.g. if you enter 1:30, the old value will be replaced by this one) or to increment/decrement the effort value by using +mm or +n[hdwmy] -- e.g. entering +1d will increment the current value by 1 day. 1 day is interpreted depending on `org-effort-durations', which see. Thanks for the explanation. I guess I'm confused why one formats/converts/checks the input and the other does not. I guess this doesn't imply that org-set-effort does anything different, it really is just a pure subset of org-clock-modify-effort-estimate. Thanks, -k.
[O] Hide empty custom agenda sections
Hi, I have a section of my custom agenda that shows items synced through mobile-org. My mobile.org file has #+FILETAGS: REFILE Which means a custom agenda command of (tags REFILE ((org-agenda-overriding-header REFILE))) shows all items from that file. Right now I have this at the bottom of my custom agenda, and it is therefore often off-screen. I would like to have it at the top, but only appear when there are items under this section. Most of the time it is there and three lines are wasting space (header separator =, header REFILE, and a blank line). I haven't seen this feature. Does a command exist that already supports this, or do I need to develop this myself? Thanks, -k.
Re: [O] Hide empty custom agenda sections
Hi Bastien, Here is my custom agenda section. I'd like to have the DEADLINE and the REFILE only show up if items exist in those sections, not when they are empty.

Re: [O] Hide empty custom agenda sections
So I tried adding a (nil) in the custom agenda section. If this were allowed (presumably ignored), I could write a function that returns nil unless there were items tagged REFILE, in which case it would return (tags REFILE ((org-agenda-overriding-header REFILE))) But having (nil) caused an error. I guess I could make the entire My Custom Agenda section be the output of a function, but that seems overly complex. -k.

Hi, I have export with references and bibliography working well in LaTeX export. I'm now exporting to ODT, and wonder if there is reference and bibliography support for this file format. I've found this 2011 post saying no https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2011-07/msg00296.html And this 2013 post saying yes https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-07/msg00969.html But I'm not sure if that 2013 code is part of the latest ELPA distribution, or if there is extra work to get it set up on my system.

I did the following based on your instructions and some guessing.
1) I put ox-odt.el and ox-jabref.el and etc/schema and etc/styles in
my ~/emacs.d/elpa/org-2014017 folder. Some of that involved
overwriting existing files.
2) I downloaded JabRef application (I'm on OS X), and copied the JAR
file from inside it into your unit test folder. I ran java -jar
jabref and opened MyLibrary.bib with the program and saved it. I
did this because I assume I have to tell JabRef about the bib file?
3) I put MathToWeb.jar in the unit test folder. However, if I run
java -jar MathToWeb.jar I get the following error. I have an email
in to the MathToWeb developer/maintainer about this

If I export to LaTeX from org-mode, everything looks good.

But I cannot find a list-table-1.odt anywhere in the unit test ZIP

then copied the files from there to my org-mode elpa repo).
Any hints about where I took a wrong step will be appreciated.

situation. And maybe someone more versed in org source can file this
as a bug, even if not a priority.

Re: [O] Citations and references in ODT
Hi,
I find the ODT export very useful. Working on another document imported
from LaTeX I have a lot of \citep{} and \citet{} in addition to \cite{}. Is
it possible for ox-jabref.el to support this even if it does not
distinguish between the T and P?
I edited the line near the bottom with the regex and changed
(value (∧ (string-match cite{\\(.*?\\)} latex-frag)
to
(value (∧ (string-match cite?{\\(.*?\\)} latex-frag)
But it did not help.

You can also write the same for odt:
@@odt:\cite{key}@@
So, in your buffer, it would become:
@@latex:\cite{key}odt:\cite{key}@@
And you can avoid the implied repetition with a macro:
#+MACRO: cite @@latex:\cite{$1}odt:\cite{$1}@@
and write in your document:
{{{cite(key)}}}
Note that you will need to escape commas (with backslashed) in key.
This also works for your more complicated example :
#+MACRO: cite2 @@latex:\cite[$1]{$2}odt:\cite[$1]{$2}@@
Wow. I was going point out that citing for both formats is
cumbersome and makes the document hard-to-read, but the MACRO solves
this. I was not aware of MACRO's. I guess this is both the beauty
and pain of Org and emacs, all this customization. And down the
rabbit-hole I go, because now I need to redefine my RefTeX shortcut
so that it inserts {{{cite(key)}}} instead of \cite{key}.
Unfortunately this is probably not something I have the skill to do
right now. Perhaps I could get it for one citation, but the regex
detect when inside an existing cite command and just insert the key,
not the latex command wrapping it, is beyond my lisp skill and time.
I'll just deal with no spaces inside \cite{a,b}.
But thank you for teaching me about MACRO anyway.

Re: [O] Citations and references in ODT
Yes I just figured out I need the . before the ?. It works now. I also
made changes in both ox-odt.el and ox-jabref.el, everywhere that I found
the \cite regex.
Works well now. Thank you!
-k.

Try cite[tp]?{\\(.*?\\)} or cite.?{\\(.*?\\)}instead
(untested).
But it did not help.

[O] python :session does return
I've seen various historical issues with :session but it seems I may
have a different problem. This is the latest org in emacs 24.3. If I
do not have :session, then everything works just fine.
If I C-c C-c in the following code:
#+BEGIN_SRC python :session transect
import numpy as np
x = np.arange(12)
#+END_SRC
Emacs hangs the first time with minibuffer message of Sent
python-eldoc-setup-code. If I C-g, I can edit the org buffer again.
All other invocations of that code and the minibuffer message is
executing Python code block..., but still emacs hangs until I C-g.
If I look at the *transect* buffer, I see the following. The code
runs just fine, but for some reason it does not return.
-k.
