AFAIK, yes -- I've never really used inline code blocks.
But I think you could intermix real code blocks within paragraphs, if you
don't insert any blank line (= paragraph separator).
Or have a real block doing the work, exposing the answer in your Org buffer,
and have an inline code block to echo the answer.

From what I understand from your question, no.

Nice point about separating one code block to do the work and the
inline to echo.
Thinking through this the whole thing, it may be an overkill for my
needs. I am rather going to just use tables in the text to represent
data, rather than describe it directly in a paragraph. As always
though, Org and Babel prove themselves again in terms of possibility.

I often find myself going back and adding extra line breaks and padding, and wondering if there exists something that can do this for me? While this doesn't exist currently, it should be fairly easy to implement a set of rules which operate over the parsed file representation generated by org-element. This may be used to convert an Org-mode buffer into an elisp list, manipulate the list, and then insert the results as text back into a new buffer. The code could look something like the following ;; -*- emacs-lisp -*- (let ((buf (org-element-parse-buffer))) ;; convert current buffer to ELisp (dolist (rule cleanup-rules) ;; run cleanup transformations on the buffer (setq buf (funcall rule buf))) (delete-region (point-min) (point-max)) ;; replace the buffer contents (insert (org-element-interpret-data buf))) ;; with the cleaned results The only catch would be deciding what to add to the cleanup-rules. Also, since Org-mode is plain text, I bet a couple of lines of sed or perl could get you most of the way to a clean buffer. Thanks, I need to spend some time to look at rules.

Not intending to start a flame war but my experience is that latex, even with everything at default settings, beats a typical MS Word document hands down! At least in academic circles, many publishers use latex for the final typesetting stage even if the original article was submitted in MS Word. The negative aspect, for some, about latex is that everything is customisable (as you have alluded to) given that it is but a set of macros built on top of the TeX typesetting system (thank you Donald Knuth!). Because the underlying system is both robust and comprehensive, anything is possible! The power of TeX comes partly from the basis being both page and paragraph formatting, as opposed to line by line formatting which tools like MS Word use. Therefore, I am curious as to what you wish to achieve: John Hendy jw.he...@gmail.com writes: Instead... could you provide something you think is professional to set the bar and those on the list can either match it or point you in the direction of something they've seen or already created to fit into your genre of professional?

I suppose by professional I really meant polished, and so it is LaTeX styling I have having trouble with, it may also be laziness on my part. I have tried searching for LaTeX styling which I can translate into a few org-mode header declarations but still can't work out what is or is not compatible with org-mode (LaTeX classes) or how to implement styling correctly.

It is my big issue with org-mode at the moment, and I have tried reading what I can on LaTeX styling but it is getting to the point that I am spending way to much time trying to learn enough LaTeX only to find I can't translate it into anything that looks the quality of using MS Word and Adobe Flashpaper. Not intending to start a flame war but my experience is that latex, even with everything at default settings, beats a typical MS Word document hands down! At least in academic circles, many publishers use latex for the final typesetting stage even if the original article was submitted in MS Word. The negative aspect, for some, about latex is that everything is customisable (as you have alluded to) given that it is but a set of macros built on top of the TeX typesetting system (thank you Donald Knuth!). Because the underlying system is both robust and comprehensive, anything is possible! The power of TeX comes partly from the basis being both page and paragraph formatting, as opposed to line by line formatting which tools like MS Word use. Therefore, I am curious as to what you wish to achieve: John Hendy jw.he...@gmail.com writes: Instead... could you provide something you think is professional to set the bar and those on the list can either match it or point you in the direction of something they've seen or already created to fit into your genre of professional? This would indeed be very useful. Sorry yes my question was fairly vague. Also I actually had trouble trying to find an example of what I mean. But let me clarify. I suppose by professional I really meant polished, and so it is LaTeX styling I have having trouble with, it may also be laziness on my part. I have tried searching for LaTeX styling which I can translate into a few org-mode header declarations but still can't work out what is or is not compatible with org-mode (LaTeX classes) or how to implement styling correctly. I think what it is that I have been using CSS for so long that I am getting frustrated in not being able to produce the level of results I want in LaTeX. Also I feel like a complete numpty not being able to clearly understand how to build and define external LaTeX classes I can call to output my simple .org file to a polished .pdf. I.e. margins, line-heights, different block element font styling, common graphical page headers or footers. There are a huge amount of LaTeX examples on the web, but they are full documents with inline elements, I wanted to know if anyone has already setup classes that work, with notes on LaTeX dependencies (and how and where to download them from) which they use day to day to produce reports, articles, contracts or client proposals from simple .org files? Is that any clearer? A little but not really. The trick with latex is not to define any new classes (unless you really want something dramatically different than already exists) but to customise existing classes through their options and the use of supplementary packages. Each document has a single class (article, book, report, letter, ...) but can then load any number of packages to add features. The problem is we don't know what you are trying to write! A book is very different from a letter which is different from an article etc. As an example, if I were writing an article, I would base it on the koma-script package [1] which allows customisation of headings etc. To customise the various things you mention above, I would then use the =geometry=, =fancyhdr= and =graphicx= packages, to mention just a few. All of these are well documented on CTAN [2] where you can search for individual packages. I would also directly modify some variables (e.g. \parindent, \parskip) that are fundamental to the layout if need be. If you really want to learn how to customise latex, one of the best resources is the Visual FAQ [3]. I hope this helps but do give more detail if you want explicit help. However, if what you need is latex help, I suggest one of the tex newsgroups [4] or some of the mailing lists (cf. gmane [5]) or equivalent; if you want to know how to interface to latex from org, then this list is indeed the place! eric Footnotes: [1] http://mirror.ctan.org/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguien.pdf [2] http://ctan.org/ [3] http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/visualFAQ/visualFAQ.pdf [4] e.g. comp.text.tex [5] http://gmane.org/ -- : Eric S Fraga (GnuPG: 0xC89193D8FFFCF67D) in Emacs 24.0.50.1 : using Org-mode version 7.5 (release_7.5.55.g87c42.dirty) Thanks, very much appreciated.

[Orgmode] TODO DONE strikethrough
I could not (re)find a reference I saw a while back about setting DONE TODO items with a strikethrough. Can anyone remember how to set this?

[Orgmode] Export: Using LaTeX \timestamp and or customising title header
Afternoon,
I have started experimenting with publishing outlines to PDF, and have been
trying to sort out basic styling, mainly because the default export looks
terrible.
I disabled the title header as I want my first outline to be the first thing at
the top of the page. The problem is that I would like to either customise the
real header i.e. not have it centred; or be able to use \timestamp under my
first outline which would display the file timestamp.
Is this possible because I can't get it to generate a timestamp on export? I
have tried enabling timestamp:t but this also has no affect. I use #+TITLE:
to prevent the title header from being displayed.
