[Orgmode] org-indent-mode and visual-line-mode
Are these two incompatible, or is there something wrong with my setup? Using org-mode 6.33c and a recent emacs snapshot (20090909), turning org-indent-mode on stops visual-line-mode from indenting properly. As soon as I turn org's intentation off, vusial-line-mode starts working normally again. I would *love* to have both of htese working properly -- is there anything I can do?

I am not sure what you mean by visual-mode indents properly. I am not using visual-line mode. So you you describe better what visual line mode does and what features of it exactly disappear when you turn on org-mode? sorry carsten. also I think I should have said wraps rather than indents. Visual-line-mode is a replacement for longlines-mode; it soft-wraps text at the screen boundary, and does a much better job than longlines-mode did. When I'm writing anything that's not code I rely on it entirely. But I also *love* the new indent mode in org -- it's much easier for me to see hierarchical relationships than it was in earlier versions (thanks _very_ much for the new feature). So I'd like to use them together; but when org-indent-mode is turned on, visual-line-mode no longer soft-wraps at all. you can try it out with M-x visual-line-mode, and the manual description is here: http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Visual-Line-Mode.html Is that what you needed? I'm not sure where the code for visual-line-mode lives -- there isn't a visual-line.el anywhere that i can find on my system.

[Orgmode] PROJ category from the org-mode front page?
Hi everyone, I've just been looking at this picture from the org-mode home page: http://orgmode.org/img/tasks.png I like the line : * PROJ Organize the interstellar dust meeting Is PROJ a custom TODO 'type' keyword? I have to say I quite like it... but would it be possible to have combine types with more complex (non-DONE) states, so that e.g. the heading displays: * PROJ INPROGRESS Organize the interstellar dust meeting or * PROJ DONE Organize the interstellar dust meeting ?

That said, I would expect that what you are describing should work, and my memory is also that it used to work - after all, I implemented not only line-prefix, but also wrap-prefix in org-indent-mode. I am quite sure that this used to work. I am not sure how to proceed. Someone would have to bisect Emacs to find which commit changed this behavior. Or maybe at lease someone can try with a vanilla 23.1 Emacs? If it works there, we might have enough to file a bug report. I just tried it on the ubuntu karmic emacs23 packages. I get the same behaviour i was seeing before. In case my description is misleading, i just made a couple of screenshots and posted them here: http://www.derailleur.org/screenshots/ one shows some quick text when indent-mode is enabled, the other shows it with indent-mode disabled. anyway if you have any ideas how i might help that'd be great -- bisecting the code is probably beyond what i can easily do but i could try to dig around a bit somehow. thanks - i appreciate how much effort you put into this carsten! - matt -- Matt Price matt.pr...@utoronto.ca signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

[Orgmode] interacting with word processors (opeonffice, word)
Hi, I;m getting more and more used to using org for my own writing purposes, and love it. But I still find it pretty difficult to work with word-processor users whoexpect to get a doument in .doc or .odt formats. I've just found odt2org (http://mantiel.wikidot.com/os:odt2org) which looks great for importing odt files into org; but my main concern right now is getting things from org-mode out into odt or doc. May i ask what other people tend to do in this situation? I I guess I could export to html, then import in Openoffice, then edit save as odf, but this seems a little cumbersome. If someone has a better solution I'd love to hear it.

If it's the margins giving you too much white space (a common complaint
from people moving to latex from other types of word or document
procssors), you could try something along these lines:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+latex_header: \usepackage[letterpaper]{geometry} #+latex-header:
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=3cm,bmargin=3cm,lmargin=3cm,rmargin=3cm}
--8---cut here---end---8---
untested. change letterpaper to your actual paper size, of course.
HTH,
eric
Also the fullpage.sty package will do this for you too. Of course you
need to name the size of your paper in the documentclass.
\usepackage[options](fullpage)
thanks for this. i'll give it a go -- and can i set this permanently
somewhere in my org conf file -- is it something like:
(setq latex_header (\usepackage[letterpaper]{geometry},
\geometry{verbose,tmargin=3cm,bmargin=3cm,lmargin=3cm,rmargin=3cm} ))
anyway thanks so much for all your help thus far!

[O] odt export bug, I think.
Hi, I think I've found an odt export bug. Certain complex URL's stored within links can end up being rendered with forbidden characters, e.g. '' and ''. so, e.g., a link to this URL: http://www.jstor.org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/sici?origin=sfx%253Asfxsici=1363-3554%25281995%252939%253C182%253E1.0.CO%253B2-L; was rendered in content.xml like this: xlink:href= http://www.jstor.org/sici?origin=sfx:sfxamp;sici=1363-3554(1995)39182 1.0.CO;2-Lamp; resulting in a syntax error when libreoffice tries to load it. I've attached a minimal test file that reproduces the bug. This is happening under a recent git snapshot of org-mode, using an emacs snapshot from 2011-04. Not sure if there are other xml-related packages whose versions I should be tracking. Thanks as always, and let me know what I can do to help with this.

[O] formulas in spreadsheet to increase date
Hi, It's htat time of year again and I'm putting together course syllabi. I would really love to be able to dynamically calculate dates in a spreadsheet, e.g.: |Topic 1|Date1|Description1| |Topic2|Above Date + 7| Description2| |Topic3|Above Date + 7| Description3| Is there a way for me to do that? Even better would be to be able to do the same thing in headlines, e.g.: ** 0. 2011-09-13 Tue[[file:./syllabus/what-is-history-for][What is History For?]] ** 1. Last Date Plus 7 [[file:Syllabus/history-and-the-public-sphere][History and the Public Sphere]] but there I'm in deeper water, I think. Thanks as always, matt

As usual in situations like this, you have to start things off with a field formula for the first date. The column formula then can be used to calculate all the *other* rows (field formulas override column formulas - see section 3.5.6, Column formulas, in the org manual or evaluate (info (org) Column formulas) to get there directly). | Topic 1 | 2011-08-17 Wed | Description1 | | Topic2 | 2011-08-24 Wed | Description2 | | Topic3 | 2011-08-31 Wed | Description3 | #+TBLFM: @1$2=2011-08-17 :: $2 = @-1$2 + 7 The column formula says: get the field from the row above and the same column (@-1$2), interpret it as a date (..) and add 7 (days) to it. The column formula can be simplified to $2 = @-1 + 7. If you want to increment by e.g. 10 mins, the increment has to be calculated as a fraction of a day: | Topic 1 | 2011-09-18 Sun 10:20 | Description1 | | Topic2 | 2011-09-18 Sun 10:30 | Description2 | | Topic3 | 2011-09-18 Sun 10:40 | Description3 | #+TBLFM: @1$2=2011-09-18 10:20 :: $2 = @-1 + 10*(1/24*60)) ah, supercool. thank you!! matt
Re: [O] odt export bug, I think.
Hi Jambunathan, This is a little hard to do in gmail, which auto-encodes everything! unfortunately wanderlust has been broken for me for some time... I've attached a text file that I think answers all you questions appropriately. Unfortunately my original file file is a year old, so I'm not entirely sure of the answer to question 3 (see below).

I would like to know/confirm a few things before proceeding ahead: 1. How does the original URL look like? in my browser window, this is the way the link looks (pasted directly): http://www.jstor.org.myaccess.library.utoronto.ca/sici?origin=sfx%25g3Asfxsici=1363-3554%281995%2939%3C182%3E1.0.CO%3B2-L; in the browser location bar, though, you can see the angle brackets (so, the final segment of the url reads: 1363-3554(1995)391821.0.CO;2-L ). For reasons I don't understand neither parentheses nor angle brackets can be pasted into emacs or any other editor (this on Ubuntu Maverick, running Gnome 2.something). 2. Where does the URL come from? Is it generated by an application or is it hand copied by you from your browser. I'm *pretty* sure I got it using org-capture or (possibly!) org-remember. In those days I used org-protocol to capture links; I don't really do that anymore, though not for any particular reason. 3. How do you enter the URL in to the org file. Specifically do you - Simply type it. ie type the open brackets, paste the link, paste the description, close the brackets etc. Or - You use C-c l to store the link in Org file. I am fairly certain I used org-protocol to capture the links. but note that the error seems to persist even if I simply cut and paste directly from my browser window. Note that question 3 is very crucial because. This is because for the URL that you have provided what you see with C-c l on the link is different from what is actually stored in the Org file. (You can see how actually Org stores the link by backspacing from beyond the link or by toggling descriptive/literal links in the menu bar) Please respond to Question 1 keeping behaviour in 3 mind. I am specifically interested in seeing whether the app/database (if there is one) actually provides a hexified link or not. I also see the possibility that one could have handcrafted the URL in an one-off sense by concatenating key/val pairs and forming the query string oneself. In this case (a novice) user may not have hexified the URL to begin with. ps: If my understanding is correct you are also having similar problems with the html export (M-x org-export-as-html) as well. Either html file is malformed or the link in the html export file simply doesn't work. this is precisely correct. (TIP: odt exporter is derived from the html exporter. So it is always a good idea to check the status of html export whenever one runs in to issues with odt exporter) thanks for this. I anticipate that fix for this issue might need some discussions with Bastien, David Maus and may be others. If the issue originates in the manner in which the initial URL was enteredi nto org/emacs, then this might not be worth too much of everyone's time. I think , in all likelihood, I used an outmoded manner of exchange between org and firefox (using org 6.x!), which even I don't use anymore. And it turns out htere is a simpler, permanent URL for the same resource so even that particular issue no longer matters much for me. If you think it's a significant issue, though, I will certainly do what I can to track it down. thanks again, so much, Matt testingurls.org Description: Binary data
Re: [O] org-odt numbering (Applying custom templates)
sort of hijacking this thread with a quick note: In order to remove numbering from the headings produced by org-odt, simply export a file, go to Tools - Outline Numbering in libreoffice/openoffice, and turn numbering off for levels 1-10 (probalby you only need about 4 levels anyway). Then save the resulting file somewhere safe, customize the variable org-export-odt-styles-file to the path to that file, and you're done. I only write this because I had a little trouble figuring out how outline numbering works in openoffice. It would be pretty cool if the org option num: had an effect here, but I think that would require some work to implement (you'd have to have org override settings in styles.xml, presumably introducing the possibility of various errors).

Serving the Org-mode community as maintainer on a voluntary basis is a major personal commitment, and requires community support, including emotional backing and /helpful/ feedback. Jambunathan, please keep criticism of how Bastien has handled your work constructive and to the point. 2. Jambunathan's excellent org-odt maintained as an integral part of Org-mode. Org-odt opens up Org-mode as an all-round authoring environment for users like me who are expected to deliver their work in wp formats. Bastien, and other core developers who may be involved, please go an extra mile if necessary to make sure it will end up actively maintained as core Org. 3. The friendly atmosphere of this mailing list preserved. I think Bastien's replies around noon today are exemplary in this regard. Yours, Christian just +1ing this -- I think when people work really hard on these voluntary contributions it's not at all unusual for them to feel frustrated when the process doesn't move as smoothly as it could. But I truly believe both Bastien and Jambunathan are doing the very best they can and making fantastic contributions to the tool we all love.

[O] HTML5 presentations
On Wed, Aug 24, 2011 at 8:14 AM, zwz zhangwe...@gmail.com wrote: Those days I came across two tools which I thought interesting and helpful if could be combined with org-export in some way. 1. Deck.js: a js lib for making modern html presentation. See http://imakewebthings.github.com/deck.js/#intro for more info. I would really like to see an exporter for this, in part because Drupal integration for deck.js is underway. We already have several html5 presentation modes described on worg: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/non-beamer-presentations.html but there are lots of html5 methods out there; here are some resources: http://slides.html5rocks.com/#landing-slide http://usepow.com/about/# http://code.google.com/p/html5slides/ http://code.google.com/p/sfeir/source/browse/trunk/html5-slides/ so here are a couple of questions: - is one of these frameworks better than/easier to work with than the others? Can any of them be shared on slideshare or another archiving service? - can we standardize on a feature-rich exporter and start building a useful interface to it (e.g., on e that allows users to specify transitions so forth in a property)? - what would be the best starting point for a new exporter? Jambunathan has the generic html exporter, surely that could be a starting point? But the simple html5presentation exporter (see link above) produces pretty good presentations already. Anyway, I'm very glad to see these possibilities emerging in recent months. I'm looking forward to the end of powerpoint! If I never have to use OOo Present again it'll be too soon... Matt
[O] org-odt/html table export: adjusting default behaviour?
The attached test file shows an org file with tables whose columns include substantial amounts of text.

I doubt the problem will be easily solved but if someone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. The issue is not that fields don't wrap well but that the table is big for the width of the paper and columns are as a result getting congested. yes, that's a better description. I have pushed a fix whereby tables now occupy bigger space [1]. I also noticed that columns are unevenly spaced. Now I have updated the styles so that columns are equally spaced [2]. Orgmode exporters can never be layout engines. They are also typically useful for personal (as opposed to professional) production. In some sense they are good for handouts, pamphlets and drafts etc. So some amount of hand fixing and finer adjustments would always be required. That makes sense, of course. My issue in this case is that I update this particular file quite frequently store it online in a repository. It would be nice if I could code the table formatting into the org file so that I don't have to hand-fix the formatting on each iteration. But on the other hand, maybe a table isn't really the right tool in such a case -- as you suggest, a spreadsheet (or perhaps a structured outline, which org excels at) might be better. You choose a smaller font for text in the table with: F11-Paragraph Styles-OrgTableContents-Choose a smaller (say 10 pt) font. that's helpful, and I can presumably save this change to my styles.xml file for future use. This will affect the text in all the tables. For the sake of documentation, Vertical and horizontal grid lines in the exported table correspond to colgroups (specified in table cookie lines) and by horizontal rulers in the org table [3]. You can use these grid lines in the Org file and automatically the exporter will create the grid lines for you. If you need really prettier tables you can rely on Table-Autoformat. Footnotes: [1] So there is now a reverse problem of tables with less number of columns and not having copious text looking too big. But big is better even if it is ugly. The workaround is to rely on Table Properties-Table-Width [2] Pre-processor in org-exp.el groks l, r, c cookies but ignores the colwidth directives. With some changes these colwidth directives could be used for controlling the relative width of columns on a per-table basis. This has to wait. If there is sufficient demand I can consider adding this support. The workaround is to rely on Table Properties-Columns-Column Width [3] The exporter wouldn't still create vertical lines on the extreme ends. I believe the default style of tables is so selected based on some standard styling manual. In my view the problem here is that Openoffie is difficult to work with for some of these formatting tasks -- so really this is an issue that's hard for you to fix. But for instance, I have had a lot of difficulty trying to change the colour of the timestamps -- in fact for now I've given up! But I think the issue might just be that LibreOffice/Openoffice doesn't redraw the document properly after certain style changes, so I can't actually tell whether my style changes (to OrgTimestamp and ORgTimestampWrapper character styles in the style manager, F11) have been effective. sorry that was a digression. Thanks so much for your help on this issue. matt

You should start by adding jQuery to your page. Then take this code
fragment:

for(var i=2;i=7;++i) {
$(h+i).each(
function(){
$(this).css({cursor: pointer});
$(this).bind('click', function(){
toggleForOrg_whenclicked( $(this).parent().children(div).eq(0) ); });
});
}
It searches all h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, h7 elements. You can remove the loop
and use another jQuery selector which finds the headers you want. They are
like CSS selectors. For instance this should work: $(h2.myclass) or $(h2,
h4)
For that code to work, you should copy at least these functions from
esquemadorg.js: toggleForOrg_whenclicked, hideForOrg_whenclicked,
showForOrg_whenclicked. Then add some CSS and custom behaviours.
fantastic, daniel. thanks so much for this.

[O] exporting customized timestamps
Hi everyone, I'm trying to understand timestamps a bit better. I'm exporting my syllabus to html, using org2blog for my wordpress course site. The syllabus includes a timestamp at the beginning of each week of the description. org-time-stamp-custom-formats is set to: (%m/%d/%Y . %m/%d/%y %a %H:%M) which is sort of the American standard (sidenote: how do I toggle between these custom values? I only seem to be able to toggle between overlaid and not overlaid). In Emacs, when I look at my org file, thetimestamp displays just as I want it to. But on export to HTML, the timestamp returns to the ISO format (2011-10-06 Thu). Is this an inevitable behaviour? if not, how do I get around it? I can more or less live with this output, but it's a bit awkward for my students to read. Thanks very much! matt

[O] embed an iframe behind a presentation?
Hi everyone, I don't think this is really an org question, but, well, here I am and I hope someone can help. I use org-html5presentation.el (this one, I'm pretty sure: https://github.com/twada/org-html5presentation.el) to generate html5 presentations from org outlines; I do this for my lecture notes, and the exported files look like this: http://www.mercey.org/03-public-sphere.html I thought it might be fun to embed a twitter feed in the slide background, so students can ask questions or have conversations about what we're doing while I talk. I had thought I'd just insert an iframe containing a twitter widget into the background somewhere. Unfortunately, I actually don't understand how these presentations are really produced, or how I would insert code into the background. Most of the formatting seems to be done in css, and the dynamic movements of the slides is triggered I guess somehow by javascript; but this is all html5 black magic to me. I'm not sure how I would, effectively, change the 'template' for the presentation to one that includes the appropriate iframe. Like I say, I'm not entirely sure this is an org question, but I'd still love some guidance if folks cna provide it. Thanks as always, Matt
Re: [O] org-odt: specifying fonts
On Tue, Oct 18, 2011 at 5:15 PM, Mehul Sanghvi mehul.sang...@gmail.comwrote: Christian, Thanks for the stopgap measure. As for fonts, like styles, it would be easier, simpler and more elegant to be able to do that without having to edit styles.odt every time. This is not specific to org-odt. It should be, at least I think so for now, to do this with any exporting backend. If you send me a styles.odt, and I do not like the fonts you are using, it becomes cumbersome to be editing the styles.odt for each font and making sure to change it in all possible places until I settle on a proper font I want to use. If I could instead specify the font in org file itself, it would be a matter of changing the header and re-generating the file. The ODT_STYLE is certainly a good enhancement. I think the problem here, Mehul, is that odt export works with styles, not fonts. So to do what you want, the exporter would need to be able to tweak the styles manually(so, I guess, first run some kind of xml transform on the stylesheet, then apply the stylesheet itself). If there are hidden inconsistencies in the original stylesheet, you may end up with difficult-to-diagnose breakage. I'd definitely suggest just modifying hte stylesheet and saving it somewhere safe. m
[O] zotero plain, org-odt, and citations in general
Hi everyone, I am about to start experimenting with Erik Hetzner's zotero-plain, which allows the use of zotero as a bibliographic manager in emacs especially org-mode (https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain as well as a couple of threads on this list, I think). I'm wonderinghow other people have used it, and in particular whether there's any way to preserve the zotero markup across exports to odt especially. That is, I'd like to keep the original citations embedded in the final odt, so that I can continue to use zotero in an odt or doc file after it's been exported from org. This would take me very , very close to a complete org-centric workflow that still lets me produce documents for consumption by my MS-using colleagues. I really hope it's possible to do! If anyone has done it, I would really love to hear about it. Thanks, Matt
Re: [O] zotero plain, org-odt, and citations in general
attached is a sample odt file with Zotero citations included. It's very simple, actually, because I think the key to making something like this work would be to offload as much work as possible to zotero itself -- Erik, correct me if I'm wrong (quite likely). Both Erik and Jambunathan have raised questions which I'm not al lthat competent to answer, but doing my best (and sorry for the lack of quotation markup, not sure how to paste-as-quote in gmail): 1. Zotero supports many citation stlyes. So Org/Zotero integration could choose one citation style that is widely agreeable for one-off colloboration needs. If that's easier, then sure. Since the Openoffice plugin allows you to reformat citations easily, then if the import result in active zotero fields that zotero can work with, it shouldn't be hard for the user to change the citation format easily. 2. I don't know if importing Zotero stylenames verbatim in to org-odt's style file would pollute it - thereby preventing org-odt from getting in to Emacs proper. I think what really matters is getting the zotero id's into the ODT in a way that allows Zotero to see them later on. Then the user can reformat in whatever manner she needs to. I am not competent to judge what the copyright and license terms of the stylenames used by zotero plugin are. I am seeing that zotero itself is AGPL so I believe it is Free as in Free Software. I think so -- shouldn't be a license problem w/ emacs. 3. Even if zotero's ODT style cannot be used by the ODT exporter due (2), I can cook up Org's own stlyenames for various citation fields and allow the user to remap Org* stlyenames to say Zotero* stlynames. I see Org already has some(?) support for bibtex. Can anyone comment on bibtex vs zotero? They seem to serve same purpose - citation management. Can bibtex be used instead of zotero. For me that wouldn't work, becaue bibtex isn't widely used by humanities scholars and social scientists. Zotero is, right now, by far the best tool for us. Also bibtex has, or at least used to have, significant limitations on styles that make (made?) it unsuitable for humanities scholars. I wish I could provide an example org-mode file with zotero references in it -- erik, I'm having trouble making contact with mozrepl from emacs. given recent developments in Zotero, it would probably be better to have zotero.el speak directly to the Zotero server instead of working through firefox -- do you agree, Erik? But I imagine that is a significant undertaking. thanks everyone, Matt zotero-demo-file.odt Description: application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text

Instead of working with JS libraries, I think the right starting point would be to work with the underlying zotero.sqlite database itself.

Fortunately there is already a GUI/Command line tool - Gnotero[5] -for accessing the sqlite database. This would certainly work. However, one problem would be that gnotero cannot generate formatted citations from a reference, that is, it cannot use CSL [2] style rules to generate arbitrary citation formats. This might be fine; some simple c As for exploiting the power of using zotero within libreoffice - which is to have the same citation presented in different citation styles - one need to look at how the reference marks are produced within OpenDocument XML.

If there were any concurrency, I'd suspect a race: you try to select a window that somebody else killed in the meantime. But I don't think there is anything like that going in emacs - but I don't know for sure. I think I'm loading .el files, from the git repository. And I think it must be the first select-window failing, because (get-buffer-window *Calendar*) evaluates to nil, while (selected-window) evaluates to a numbered window. *scratch* also works properly, so there's so mething very odd about the *Calendar* window. There must be something strange happening with the calendar functions -- that's part of the emacs core, right? Or should I be worrying about my other packages? Again, many thanks, Matt Nick
[O] [semi-OT] issue trackers?
Hi everyone, I'm collaborating on a project where I'm starting to feel the need for a shared issue tracker. Anyone have any suggestions? I have my own server (running ubuntu maverick, so pretty up-to-date), and can install pretty well whatever I want there. I'd love something that integrates with org-mode somehow, but my collaborators are definitively NOT emacs users. I just started a project on google code, but that doesn't seem quite right -- for one thing, we're not _really_ doing much coding, and for another ,some of the issues should contain private notes -- e.g. phone numbers and emails of people we need to ask for help or information. It wasn't immediately apparent to me that privacy fetures like that exist on google code. Anyway, thanks! Matt

[O] Zotero: import HTML -- org syntax?
Hi, so, in my ponderously slow efforts to figure out a decent citation workflow for Org, I am trying for some modest integration with Zotero, which is the tool my humanities colleagues are most likely to use. I keep all of the references for my courses in a Zotero database. When generating a syllabus, I select a set of references, then copy them over to my org file. However, then I have to edit each reference to give the appropriate italicization; in one of my courses we use APA citation formats, which I don't really know very well, and sometimes I make mistakes. I can set up Zotero so that citations are copied in HTML. That preserves the markup I want to keep, but in a format that doesn't work so well in an org document! I would like to figure out a way to add the citations with a single command that converts the HTML to org markup. so, (1) is there already an HTML import function that I just don't know about? (2) is anyone actually using Zotero for citations in org? or have people mostly given up and gone over to Bibtex instead? Thanks very much, Matt

[O] possible bug in ox-odt.el?
Hello, for some time I've noticed that the export to odt options were not being offered in the export menu options (C-c E-c), even though I have (require ox-odt) in my startup file. Attempts to evaluate ox-odt manually failed with this error: defconst: Wrong type argument: stringp, nil I've tracked the problem down to org-odt-lib-dir: (defconst org-odt-lib-dir (file-name-directory load-file-name) Location of ODT exporter. Use this to infer values of `org-odt-styles-dir' and `org-odt-schema-dir'.) from what I can tell, 'load-file-name' appears to be nil. Replacing (file-name-directory load-file-name) with a string like: /home/matt/src/org-mode/lisp/ox-odt.el fixes the problem for me, but that doesn't seem like a very robust solution. I don't understand emacs internals very well, but is this possibly a bug in ox-odt.el, or more likely something in my own (poorly maintained) setup files? Thanks, Matt

[O] quickly toggling properties
Hi everyone, I just updated to the latest git to try out the ox-deck exporter -- wow it's great, thank you Rick! The exporter makes use of two properties to control the display of slide fragments -- STEP and HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS. I think I'm going to be using these a lot, so I'm wondering what the quickest way is to toggle a property. It's easy enough to define a quick key I guess, by adding this line to org-structure-templates-alist: (s :Properties\n:STEP: t\n:END:\n) But I would like to bind a function to a siple keystroke, whic hI can use to toggle the STEP or HTM_CONTAINER_CASS properties without thinking too hard. Any suggestions? Thanks! matt
[O] ctrl-enter and alt-enter behaviour in current org
Hi again, after updating to the current git version yesterday, I'm noticing a change in keybindings. Previously, if I wasi n a ist inside a headline: * Heading - list item - list item 2 Alt-Enter would create a new list item, while Ctrl-Enter would create a new headline. Now, I'm finding that both keys are creating new ist items. Is this the intended behaviour? Can I customize it somehow/somewhere? I'd like to go back to the old bindings, they seemed more flexible. Thanks a lot! Matt

I've been meaning to polish it up as a contributed module for Zotero users, but if there's interest in a unified citation syntax along these lines, I could rewrite it to work for Bibtex as well. Hi Christian, I'm really interested in this, as I use Zotero not only for writing but for group bibliographies in my courses. The broader conversation about the appropriate syntax is a bit beyond me, but I do have a couple of questions about your work with Zotero: (1) How do you get the Zotero cite keys right now, and what method do you think would ultimately be the best to try for? Since zotero now operates as a service, I would think it should be possible to write an emacs plugin that communicates directly to Zotero the way that the word/libreoffice plugin does (though I don't know how to do that stuff myself). (2) How might you generalize the export to other formats, esp. HTML? I imagine the best thing to do would be to use citeproc.js set the citation format using a variable, e.g. #+ ZOTERO-FORMAT: Chicago The option to do this would be great e.g. for people (like me) who use org to compose blog posts, then process through the html export (in my case via org2blog). (3) Have you seen Erik Hetzner's zotero-plain, https://bitbucket.org/egh/zotero-plain ? Would it be useful to your work? I see Erik is already involved in this thread, do you have any comments Erik?

All the fancy transitions and builds in the deck.js intro are handled via CSS. So, the exporter will handle them easily. If you look at the source for the intro, you will see that all the builds and transitions are defined in home.css, and applied based on slide id and/or class. ah, I wish I understood css transforms better! But yes, I can see that they are being defined in home.css and attached to individual classes/ids for slides. That's very helpful. If you look at the documentation for ox-deck @https://github.com/cybercode/org-slides, you will see that you can specify per-slide classes via the HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS property on the headline (and any headline can be build by setting the slide class on the headline). ah, I get it now. Thank you. Taking a quick look @ the impress.js docs, i noticed that there is an S9 template for impress.js (http://slideshow-s9.github.io/slideshow-impress.js), and that everything is specified w/ slide properties (x, y, z, scale and rotate), so I would use headline PROPERTIES ( :IMPRESS_X, etc) to define the slideshow. I'll give that a try, if I end up having time (argh). I'm actually liking deck, though. Am wondering if it would be very hard to add support for the codemirror extension to your deck code. Maybe I'll try that first... Also note that it might be easier to inherit from ox-s5 instead of ox-deck as it is more generic (and add a wrapper around `org-s5-headline') to process the additional properties.

This should work with:

These variables can be buffer-local.
Hmm. I have org-diplay-custom-times set to t.
org-time-stamp-custom-formats is customized:
--
org-time-stamp-custom-formats is a variable defined in `org.el'.
Its value is ( %a, %b. %d . %m/%d/%y %a %H:%M)
Original value was
(%m/%d/%y %a . %m/%d/%y %a %H:%M)

On html export, the following is generated:
-
span class=timestamp-wrapperspan class=timestamplt;Tue, Sep.
10gt;/span/span
-
so it looks like it's difficult to remove the brackets with those two
variables.
Sorry I can't find the answer in the docs, I'm sure it's there
somewhere but I'm missing it somehow!
You can also use a filter on every timestamp exported and make sure any
angle bracket is removed.
I was able to add this bit of javascript to my wordpress site to
remove the brackets:

I basically meant the Elisp counterpart of this. See
`org-export-filter-timestamp-functions' and 12.13 Advanced

thanks nicolas. If you happen to have a moment, I'm having trouble
reproducing this regexp in elisp. I would think that, even if I can't
figure out how to construct a single regex that matches all the
characters I want to remove, omething like this ought to work:
---
(defun matt-org-export-filter-timestamp-function (timestamp backend info)
removes relevant brackets from a timestamp
(when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html)
;; unfortunatley I can't make emacs regexps work yet. sigh.
(replace-regexp-in-string [][] timestamp)
;; (replace-regexp-in-string lt; timestamp)
))

but the second (commented-out) regexp seems to break my export.
Again, many thanks.

[O] syntax for blocks that the exporter should not render?
Hi, certain lines are not rendered by the org exporter, but are instead interpreted as instructions, e.g.: #+AUTHOR: Matt Price I'm using org2blog/wp, which is only partially converted to the new exporter. It works pretty well, but not perfectly. It has the neat feature that, when I insert a link to a local image, it will upload that image to wordpress and link to the uploaded file. TO keep track of the location of those images, it writes lines like this to the org file: #+/home/matt/Matt_headshots/Matt Price/IMG_9367_.jpg http://2013.hackinghistory.ca/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/wpid-IMG_9367_2.jpg Recently I've noticed that these lines are actually being rendered by the underlying html exporter before export. I can (sort of) fix this by adding a filter to the exporter (thanks again Nicolas!): - (add-to-list 'org-export-filter-paragraph-functions 'matt-org-export-filter-paragraph-function) (defun matt-org-export-filter-paragraph-function (paragraph backend info) removes comments from export (when (org-export-derived-backend-p backend 'html) (replace-regexp-in-string ^#\+.*$ paragraph) )) but it would be better if I could get the underlying exporter to just ignore these lines. I thought that the leading #+ was enough to get org to treat these lines as non-text -- but I guess I'm wrong! Anyone know a solution? Thanks! Matt

In that case, I'm not sure what can be documented, one can have infinitely many text blurbs which look very similar to valid Org syntax but isn't. I have noticed quite a few posts on the list with this kind of misunderstanding. I think the confusion arises from thinking of special keywords like #+options:, #+attr_latex:, etc as comments. AFAIU, they are not. Lines starting with #+ are possible keywords, whereas lines starting with # are comments. (sorry, posted my last msg before I saw the more recent contributions) So how would you suggest org2blog keep track of the relationship between local and uploaded files? Should it define a new keyword (perhaps #+remote: )? And if so how is that best done? Quickly looking at Export Options (12.2) in the manual I don't see a built-in mechanism for defining backend-specific options. Something like #+ATTR_BLOG: remote might do the trick, but adding multiple links to such a line would be cumbersome, wouldn't it? Thanks again for your help clarifying this.
[O] org structuresin a drawer? (or some other presentation soution)
I'm trying to write my lectures entirely in org. I would like to just write them once, using the main org file for my notes, and an exported deck.js presentation for slides. However, I would like to include quite a number of notes to myself for each slide. One way to do this is to make a drawer. Unfortunately, from what I can tell, within a drawer it is not posible to use org structures like lists. This is too bad, as I have come to rely on such structures in my notes! Is there a way to either: - have org elements ike lists in a drawer? or- mark certain elements (like a list or subheading) as not-for-export? Thanks as always! Matt

I guess you are exporting to Beamer? If so, the easiest way would be to
redefine caption to something else. The following seems to work but I'm
sure there are prettier ways of doing this:
--8---cut here---start-8---
#+startup: beamer
#+options: H:1
#+latex_header: \newcommand{\mycaption}[1]{\newline \hfill #1 \hfill
\newline} \let\caption\mycaption
* the slide
#+caption: This is some very catchy caption
#+attr_LaTeX: :width 0.5\textwidth
[[file:~/test/myfig.jpg]]
--8---cut here---end---8---
hope this helps,
eric
Unfortunatey, I'm exporting to HTML (deck.js) not Beamer. I guess I

I cannot tell from your comment. It depends on what you mean by plain PDF and slideshow. Beamer is a document style and a collection of macros for LaTeX. The output of LaTeX will be a PDF file typically. For a beamer document, the PDF output is a set of pages where each page corresponds to a single slide. The slide show is the sequence of these PDF pages. Whether this corresponds to your meaning of a slide show, I cannot tell. I hope that makes some sort of sense... Yes, it does make sense, thank you Eric. The PDF document produced was not a one-heading-per-page slideshow, but a more ordinary PDF with continuous flow from page to page.

[O] applying html classes to the figure div on HTML export
Hi, Is there a way to apply an HTML class to the the div class=figure element which is generated around an image link on HTML export? I am making a presentation using org-- deck.js (ox-deck.el), and I want most of my images to be centred, but in cases where I have more than one image, I want them to display in rows using the float:left property. If I just float the images using #+ATTR_HTML: :style float:left then their captions do not display consistently above or below them. I can use CSS to addres every div.figure, but that forces ALL images to be aligned to the left-hand side of the slide, which is not what I want. I think I could also write some javascript to add the class dynamically when there's more than one div.figure in a div.slide, but I odn't understand deck well enough to be sure how to do that. Any suggestions? Thanks! Matt

I don't think there is...?
What you /can/ do is wrap the image in a special block/custom div of your
own, e.g. as
follows (the myfloat name is arbitrary):
#+begin_myfloat
[[./picture.png]]
#+end_myfloat
This results in:
div class=myfloat
div class=figure
pimg src=./picture.png alt=picture.png /
/p
/div
/div
Then you style the div.myfloat class with CSS.
If I understand your problem correctly, you can also wrap all the images
that should go in a row in a single special block/custom div, e.g.
#+begin_myfloat
[[./picture1.png]]
[[./picture2.png]]
[[./picture3.png]]
#+end_myfloat
Then style the figure children of such divs with
div.myfloat div.figure { ... }
Does this work for you?
ah, that's cool. I had just figured out another workaround, which was to add
:PROPERTIES:
:HTML_CONTAINER_CLASS: multi-image
:END:
to the containing headline, and then add
.multi-image div.figure {float:left;}
to the CSS. It seems to have worked for me so far. But the syntax
you describe is easier and more flexible. I'll try it out soon
thanks!

Matt Those four areas seem pretty distinct and independent to me (except there's special cross-over between exporting and babel blocks). Any given prospective org user will probably immediately gravitate to one or more areas, leaving the others for later. Personally, I immediately jumped into task management, then went to exporting, and I've only ever dabbled in babel and spreadsheets. I think it would be good to keep these areas fairly self-contained. 2 cents, Eric

(However, I don't think I ever intend writer-mode for general release; it will probably just remain something I use myself.) I ran into similar problems, trying to emulate Scrivener and others. I only seem to be able to figure out a thin nav panel on the left and a bigger text panel on the right. I didn't get around the problem with virtual buffers having the same modal properties as the main buffer. In particular, buffer-local key bindings carry over from the index buffer to the main buffer, which is A Royal Pain. This in particular is something I wish could be solved. Just reading the documentation it looks as though using mike-indirect-buffer instead of clone-indirect-buffer will permit one to set all the modal properties of the new buffer independently, though it may be frustrating to address the indirect bufffer in a function called from the first buffer (maybe not, though?). cf. http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Indirect-Buffers.html and http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/IndirectBuffers But perhaps I'm looking for different features than you are. Mainly, I wanted a template system for scenes, characters, etc. (easy enough), a lot of statistics, both global and per-story (not conceptually difficult but took much time), and a good darkroom mode (much more of a challenge than I expected, and seems to vary among environments/releases, etc.; that is to say, most of the published emacs darkroom code didn't work for me). I've also got some fluff such as typing sounds, word frequency analysis, a name generator, etc. It's nothing special but I use it every day. However, I'm more than willing to throw it over and use your code once it's developed! I'm sure you're coding it much, much better and with concepts that are better thought through. That sounds pretty great, actually. So, I would love to see what you have. A hui hou, -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i lucky!

I can't, but your description of a windowed layout sounds like workgroups ( https://github.com/tlh/workgroups.el ), may be you can reuse some code? that looks interesting and certainly more sophisticateed than what I had put together, I'll check it out.

Can someone suggest the best way to create that third buffer (or more precisely, that second indirect buffer)? I guess I don't know the best way to limit to a drawer, nor do I really understand how to make multiple indirect buffers ( from what I can see, org-tree-to-indirect-buffer will only permit one indirect buffer at a time to be crate, which is fine, but which takes away the only tool I sort of understand). Another question: does emacs allow indirect buffers to have different modes than their parents If so, I would like to write some trivial minor modes that remap keybindings in each of the three windows, and .e.g I would like to prohibit full unfolding of the outline in the left-hand window if that's possible. Much of this is possible with [[https://github.com/tj64/navi][navi-mode.el]] (see screencast on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v%3DII-xYw5VGFM:][youtube]]), although you won't have 3 buffers, just 2: the Org file and the associated *Navi-buffer*, but the latter is very flexibel: with one key commands you can switch rapidly between multiple views of your Org file, change the visibility of the Org buffer, and more 'remote-control' like stuff. Just to give you an example using Bernt Hansen org-mode.org tutorial: 1.

[O] Setting org-insert-heading-hook while in a minor mode
Hi everyone, I am trying to write a minor mode that will help me write a little more efficiently. While I'm in that mode, I want to insert a properties drawer every time I create a new heading. So I would like to temporarily change org-insert-heading-hook when the minor mode is active. It's not obvious to me that there's a way to set a file-local variable while in a minor-mode -- does anyone know if there is, and I'm just missing it? Also, I would like if possible for the properties drawer to be pre-populated with certain properties Is that also possible? Thanks, Matt
