how to omit section numbers from theindex.html when publishing a project
Well, my IT department did some major damage to my computer system, and
now the output of publishing a project (my only one) to html is
different. Specifically, the numbers next to each alphabetical letter in
theindex.html are shown, whereas before they were not. I can't recall if
this is some sort of setting that I changed once and now need to change
back. How can I prevent thos numbers from appearing in theindex.html,
but still have them appear in the main document for which theindex.html
is the index?

Re: publishing: no default publishing function, or symbol is not defined
Juan Manuel-- Thanks. I understand no pages in a web document; I thought (hoped?) that section/subsection numbers, perhaps multiple, would appear next to the entries in the index. I will try to be more specific with the ! syntax Any advice for how to get *both* theindex.html and my main document in html? So far I can only get one or the other, depending on whether I include a non-nil value for a :makeindex option. Thanks. --Chris Juan Manuel Macías wrote: > Hi Christopher, > > Christopher W.

I would expect each named entry in an index to appear once, with, if

occurs in the main document. At least, that's how the indices in books
work. Can the same be done in org mode?

Re: publishing: no default publishing function, or symbol is not defined
Ah, I see I wrote the :publishing-function statement incorrectly. Thanks
to both of you.
But is there not a default publishing action, that requires no explicit
:publishing-function statement? This part of the documentation says
there is:
https://orgmode.org/manual/Publishing-action.html#Publishing-action
But I gave this a try:
(setq org-publish-project-alist
'(("CaseInvestigationTrainingAndReferenceManual"
:base-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/"
:publishing-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/StagingArea"
:publishing-function org-html-publish-to-html)))
and I got the expected output in the expected place: a file called
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/StagingArea/WorkAreaForIndexingTrainingAndReferenceManual-7-June.html
However, when I add this line:
:makeindex 1
so with a non-null value of :makeindex
The output consists *only* of the index: a file called theindex.html.
It looks like the expected index to the document, but the document
itself is not generated. How do I get both?
Thanks.

publishing: no default publishing function, or symbol is not defined
I'm making my first foray into publishing a project. I'm running GNU
Emacs 26.2 (build 1, x86_64-w64-mingw32) of 2019-04-13, on Windows 10.
I've defined a single project, just to try it out and learn. Here is
the relevant portion of my .emacs file
;; Projects and publishing
;;
(setq org-publish-project-alist
'(("CaseInvestigationTrainingAndReferenceManual"
:base-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/"
:publishing-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/StagingArea")))
There is one org file in /Sandbox, called
WorkAreaForIndexingTrainingAndReferenceManual-7-June.org
(as the filename suggests, I'm mostly interested in learning how to make
an index).
If I execute C-c C-e P a whilie in the org file I am trying to publish,
I get an error message that there is "No publishing function chosen". I
thought org-publish-org-to-html was the default, as described here:
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/org/Publishing-action.html
But if I modify the relevant section of my .emacs file like this,
specifying a publishing action:
;; Projects and publishing
;;
(setq org-publish-project-alist
'(("CaseInvestigationTrainingAndReferenceManual"
:base-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/"
:publishing-directory
"E:/DATA/BCHD/CD/ChinaCoronavirus2019/CommCare/Sandbox/StagingArea"
:publishing-function org-publish-org-to-html)))
and try again, I get an error message that I can't figure out: "Symbol’s
function definition is void: org-publish-org-to-html"
Grateful for any guidance.
Thanks.

This looks promising. However, the example at the link you referenced seems to have its state changes inside a LOGBOOK property drawer. My state changes are not inside a drawer. See excerpt below.

[O] how do I search state change dates?
I try to keep track of books I want to read, and when I eventually read them. I use TODO keyword for books I intend to read, and I change the state to READING and then DONE, as appropriate. Each state change gets a date/time stamp. My preamble is: #+TODO: TODO(t!) READING(r!) POSTPONED(p!) RESTARTED(s!) | DONE(d!) NA(n!) ABANDONED(a!)

Re: [O] Efficiency of Org v. LaTeX v. Word
This seems like more of a typing contest than anything else. Reproducing a single page of an already-typeset document is not what LaTeX is designed for, nor is it what scientists do for a living. The test selections were absurdly short relative to the typical scientic manuscript. Long and complex documents are where LaTeX excels. And this did not call upon some of the most important (IMHO) capabilities of LaTeX: managing citations with BibTex; changing the style to suit different journals; storing, revisiting, and reusing your document years later. --Chris Ryan Ken Mankoff wrote: People here might be interested in a publication from [2014-12-19 Fri] available at http://dx.doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0115069 Title: An Efficiency Comparison of Document Preparation Systems Used in Academic Research and Development Summary: Word users are more efficient and have less errors than even experienced LaTeX users. Someone here should repeat experiment and add Org into the mix, perhaps Org - ODT and/or Org - LaTeX and see if it helps or hurts. I assume Org would trump LaTeX, but would Org - ODT or Org - X - DOCX (via pandoc) beat straight Word? -k.
[O] latex packages savetrees is persisting in my org-mode exporter
I had been running Org mode version 7.9.3f, but I needed a feature only
available in version 8, so I upgraded, by downloading from the Org
website, and using comment characters in my .emacs file, like this:
;; Load org-mode
; (add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/lisp)
; (add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/contrib/lisp)
(add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-8.2.4/lisp)
(add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-8.2.4/contrib/lisp)
(require 'org)
Then I used it a few times to export a subtree from an org file,
exporting to pdf, using a latex package called savetrees. I put this in
the subtree I was exporting:
** Review of assessment system, including instructions for bubble sheet
:PROPERTIES:
:EXPORT_FILE_NAME: ReviewAssessmentSystemWithPreceptors-12-02-2013
:EXPORT_TITLE: Review of our system for assessing student's clinical
performance
:EXPORT_LATEX_OPTIONS: \usepackage{enumitem}
:END:
#+latex_header: \usepackage{savetrees}
Now some features I need don't work--specifically, features from here:
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-meeting-tasks.html
So I went back to Og 7.9.3f, or at least I thought I did, by changing my
.emacs to this:
;; Load org-mode
(add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/lisp)
(add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-7.9.3f/contrib/lisp)
; (add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-8.2.4/lisp)
; (add-to-list 'load-path c:/Org/org-8.2.4/contrib/lisp)
(require 'org)
But now every time I export a different subtree of that same org file, a
subtree that does not contain any mention of savetrees, to pdf, the
savetrees package is still loaded and used. How do I stop it?
Thanks.

Once we recognize that we do not err out of laziness, stupidity, or

trying to be permanently right. We can take seriously the proposition

Re: [O] latex packages savetrees is persisting in my org-mode exporter

Very interesting. I would not have thought of that. Especially since the
offending line of code appears in the org file after the subtree I am
trying to export.
Is there a better way to say
#+latex_header: \usepackage{savetrees}
in either org 7.9.3f or org 8.2.4?
Like using EXPORT_LATEX_OPTIONS under PROPERTIES, or something like that?

Delete the #+latex_header line from the file: just because you placed it
in a subtree does not make it subtree-local in scope.

Note that enumitem is indeed loaded. But including
#+ATTR_LATEX: :options itemsep=1pt
before a simple list in my org-mode subtree does not change the vertical
spacing between list items at all.
And a relevant exerpt from my .tex exported file is
\begin{itemize}
\item Don't fill out a form that the student has signed, blank, ahead of
time
\item Don't fill out a second form after you have already submitted one
\item Don't mention any suggested grade for the clerkship. Performance
in your office counts for half the final grade; the other half is based
on other activities
\end{itemize}
Note no [itemsep= ] option.

[O] how to adjust vertical spacing between lines in a simple list, pdflatex export
In LaTeX, I would typically use the enumitem package, and then start an
itemized list with
\begin{itemize}[itemsep= ]
where itemsep could equal whatever spacing I wanted.
How do I change the inter-item vertical spacing (specifically, decrease
it) in org-mode with pdflatex export?
Thanks.

Below is what I have in a subtree that I export to pdf. It does what I

recall there is, but for the life of me I can't find the link to the
documentation I thought I had saved.

[O] managing articles in my personal library, and their citational material, using org mode instead of bibtex
Not sure citational is even a word, but hopefully it conveys my meaning! I've been using LaTeX for academic writing and reading for quite some time, with emacs as my editor. I'm pretty familiar with managing a .bib file containing all the references I've collected, and using it in LaTeX \cite commands. I've come to org-mode more recently. I'm trying to imagine how I might use it to manage my personal library. I have a directory full of pdf files, each a downloaded article. Some articles I reference in papers I write; others I just read and want to keep. I also have a .bib file where I put the citational material for all those articles. Whenever I download an article, I add its entry to my .bib file. I tend to manage this with JabRef because it searches Medline so easily, but I also will edit the .bib file directly when necessary. I like the idea of an org file containing the citational information (authors, title, journal, etc) *plus* links to the pdfs on my hard drive, or on the internet. I could also include my notes about the articles. But what would that org file look like? How do I insert a reference to an article into the org file which contains the article I am writing? I'd be grateful for any explanations, or links to tutorials. Thanks. --Chris Ryan SUNY Upstate Medical University Binghamton, NY

I believe that, if you are using 7.9.3f, you should be using the new
exporter. However, the key bindings you mentioned in the previous
posting indicated that you were accessing the old exporter. This may
mean that you have a confused configuration (easy to do at the moment
due to the transition taking place between old and new exporters).
One way to find out what you are using is to check what C-c C-e is bound

Re: [O] trouble exporting just one subtree while using babel and R code blocks
Thanks John. I was a little nervous about upgrading org version. I use Vince Goulet's version of emacs with ESS built-in, and he removed org-mode from his latest release (24.2.1) http://vgoulet.act.ulaval.ca/pub/emacs/NEWS-windows But I downloaded and installed the newer emacs anyway, and got org-mode version 7.9.3f from the org website, and that solved my problem.

[O] still struggling with workflow
I've been using org-mode for, oh about a year now, and it seems like a very useful tool. But I'm still struggling to understand and implement effective workflows for projects, re-using bits and pieces of text. For example, I have a general project related to heat wave morbidity and mortality, and indoor heat index. Hopefully I can parlay it into a number of distinct studies, each with IRB applications, grant applications, and papers (all pdf output), and presentations (beamer pdf output.) For example, all my stuff for the first study is in a single org file, HeatWaves1.org. The second project's documents will need to re-use much of that material, but not all of it; and there will be some new material. Is it viable to keep everything related to my heat wave work, for all substudies, in the one org file, and customize the output to my needs at different times, via judicious use of headlines and :export tags? Or is it best to start a new org file for each substudy and copy/paste what is needed from the old? Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.

[O] can I force all-caps in part of a headline in a capture template?
I work for a public health department. Twice in the past 5 years we have
had to open evacuation shelters during a flood, for anywhere from 80 to
120 medically-frail evacuees. Our documentation system (paper) has
improved, but it is still not ideal. I am experimenting with whether
org-mode could meet our needs. It's basis in plain text may strike the
proper balance between structure and flexibility.
Part of my .emacs includes the following:
(setq org-capture-templates
'((a Admit entry

)
)
The first line in my ShelterAdmissions.org file is:
#+TODO: admit(a) in(i!) out(o@) | discharged(d@)
and things are working pretty well so far.
I'd like to know if there is a way to force LASTNAME to show up in
all-caps in ShelterAdmissions.org, regardless of how it is typed into
the capture template.

What is the value of org-inlinetask-min-level? If it's the default 15,
then you just haven't formatted the inline tasks correctly (not enough
stars)- did you use C-c C-x t to insert them? I used that to
insert the inline tasks and I got the following org file which exports
correctly afaict:

Well, I'm making some progress.
org-inlinetask-min-level = 15
I had previousl simply typed in an arbitrary number of stars by hand,
for my inline tasks. If I use C-c C-x t to insert one, then figures and
text subsequent to it do appear in the final pdf as desired. If I type
in 15 stars by hand, emacs recognizes this also as an inline task
(judging by the syntax highlighting) and figures following it are again
exported correctly.
However, in both cases, the inline tasks themselves also appear in the
final pdf. I was trying to avoid that, and I though todo:nil in
#+OPTIONS would accomplish that objective, but it did not. Is there a
way to not export inline tasks?
Here are the modifications to the small reproducible file I started with:
#+OPTIONS: todo:nil toc:nil tags:nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{graphicx}
* I guess I don't understand enough about Org's hierarchical trees yet
** Study design
Here's what we'll do.
Blah blah blah
*** TODO I'd like this not to appear in pdf
*** END
So now this text here appears in the pdf, as desired. But I'd like the
inline task above not to appear in the pdf. I though todo:nil would
prevent it from appearing, but it did not.
*** TODO figure will follow this todo
*** END
This line appears in the pdf too. Unfortunately, so does the inline task
above it.
And the image shows up; its first appearance.

** But if I start a new 2-star heading

[O] how to include graphics in pdf output
I am running org mode 7.7 on Win XP. I hope to export a document to pdf,
and I'd like to include an image in it. The image is a file called
DataLoggerImage.jpg; it resides in the same directory as my org file.
These are the first three lines of my org file:
#+OPTIONS: todo:nil toc:nil tags:nil
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage[margin=1in]{geometry}
#+LATEX_HEADER: \usepackage{graphicx}
I have tried the following code to include a figure (tried both
approaches simultaneously, and the second one alone, neither with success):
\begin{figure}\centering
\includegraphics{DataLoggerImage}
\caption{Temperature and humidity data logger}\label{datalogger}
\end{figure}
#+CAPTION: Temperature and humidity data logger
#+LABEL: datalogger
[[./DataLoggerImage.jpg]]
The figure does not appear in the resulting pdf. Any advice as to what
I am doing wrong?
Thanks.

Re: [O] how to include graphics in pdf output
I've attached a small org file that reproduces my problem with getting
images to export to pdf. I've also attached the resulting .tex file.
I think my issue may have something to do with my misunderstanding of
inline tasks, since if I put my org code for inclusion of the image
elsewhere in the org file, under its own 2nd level heading (2 stars)
then it exports fine. The narrative text in the attached org file
explains my observations in more detail.
Thanks.

Can you post your org file and the tex file that's produced on export?
Is the above correct syntax? Shouldn't it be as shown below?

I had the same reaction at first, but I tried it and the pdf export went
through without a hitch in either case. I'm not sure whether that's intended
behavior or an accident though.

[O] ways to insert note to self in an org-mode file for academic paper
I'm very early in trying a transition from LaTeX to org-mode for academic writing, trying to learn the Org way of doing things. Running Org-mode 7.7 in Emacs 23.4.1 on Win XP. Suppose I'm writing a draft of a research proposal and come to some part that I may want to consider changing, after I think about it some more, check with others, or reassess my resources. In LaTex, I'd write something like this: % need to look into this further, check with so-and-so and keep writing on the next line. How does one do this well in Org-mode? With a # comment character? Or does this become a TODO item? Of course, I wouldn't want that little note to self to appear in any final document. But I might want it to remain in the source file, to document my line of reasoning. Thanks. --Chris -- Christopher W.

[O] C-c a t doesn't give yield list of all TODO items
I'm running GNU Emacs 23.1.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.20.1) of 2011-03-04 on palmer, modified by Debian, on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Org-mode version 7.6. The online Org-mode manual reads: 10.3.2 The global TODO list The global TODO list contains all unfinished TODO items formatted and collected into a single place. C-c a t (org-todo-list) Show the global TODO list. But when I try to type C-c a I only get that far, and emacs tells me, C-c a is undefined There is a drop-down menu item under the Org item, called Agenda Command... which offers me lettered choices, and t will list all TODO entries. But what is the keyboard shortcut, if not C-a a t ? Thanks. --Chris Ryan PS: in case it is relevant, my .emacs file, rather a short one, looks like this: ;;(load-file ~/.emacs.d/color-theme/themes/color-theme-subdued.el) ;;(color-theme-subdued) (require 'color-theme) (color-theme-parus) (custom-set-variables ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom. ;; If you edit it by hand, you could mess it up, so be careful. ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance. ;; If there is more than one, they won't work right.

Re: [O] how do scientists use org mode?
Just tried a similar thing on my computer at work: WinXP, emacs-22.3.1, org-mode 7.7. I tried both R and python. With this in my .emacs file: ;; active Babel languages (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((R . t) (python . t) )) Here are the contents of the org file I am playing with: #+begin_src R rnorm(10) #+end_src #+begin_src python print Hello, World! #+end_src C-c C-c the first block results in a message like this: Evaluate this R code block on your system? (yes or no) Answering yes yields: No org-babel-execute function for R! Trying the same in the python block yields the same results, except with python substituted for R in all the messages. Any suggestions where I am going wrong? Thanks. --Chris Ryan
Re: [O] Babel problem (was how do scientists use org mode?)
John and Nick-- The question about whether I have python on my machine is not silly--I am. Got so carried away I forgot I was on my work computer, which indeed does not have python. But I do have R and perl, and similar code blocks in either language yield the same problem, so I'll just focus on them as examples (he said, sheepishly.) I usually interface with R via emacs ESS. Currently ESS is using R version 2.11.1. R executable is in C:\Program Files\R\R-2.11.1\bin I usually interface with perl via another text editor, Programmer's Notepad, set up with drop-down menu item to execute the file in perl. Perl executable is in C:\strawberry\perl\bin C:\Org\org-7.7\lisp contains, among others, files called ob-R.el and ob-perl.el Currently my path variable looks like this: Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0;C:\Xpdf;C:\strawberry\perl\bin;C:\strawberry\c\bin;C:\strawberry\perl\site\bin My .emacs now contains: ;; active Babel languages (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((R . t) (python . t) (perl . t) )) As to Nick's questions, M-x locate-library RET ob-R RET tells me ob-R is located in C:\Org\org-7.7\lisp\ob-R.el M-: to evaluate (require 'ob-R.el) yields ob-R in the minibuffer Then C-c C-c in the R code block yields Code block produced not output. in the minibuffer, and a new buffer that says, 'R' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. I tried evaluating (require 'ob-perl) and this yielded ob-perl in the minibuffer, and thereafter the perl code block executed properly. I wonder if I need to put the path to R in my PATH variable? (come to think of it, don't know why it's not already there); its absence has so far not prevented me from using R via ESS. Thanks. --Chris Christopher W.

Re: [O] how do scientists use org mode?
Thanks everyone for the advice and ideas. I see lots of potential, and also lots to learn. I made my first attempt at an R code block in an Org file. I'm running Ubuntu 10.04 LTS. Synaptic tells me that I have emacs 23.1+1-4ubuntu7.2, and Org 6.34c-1. I added this to my .emacs: ;; active Babel languages (org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((R . t) )) Here is the source block: #+begin_src R getwd() dd - read.csv(cars.csv, sep=,, header=TRUE) head(dd) str(dd) dd$date - as.Date(as.character(dd$Date), format=%d-%b-%y) names(dd)[4] - city table(is.na(dd$date)) min(dd$date, na.rm=TRUE); max(dd$date, na.rm=TRUE) #+end_src emacs seems to do the syntax highlighting properly, so I guess it is recognizing this as a code block. When I put point inside the block and type C-c C-c, emacs gives me this message: C-c C-c can do nothing useful at this location. I wonder if I have Babel? Is it built in to the emacs or Org versions that I have? Thanks. --Chris Ryan Simon Thum wrote: Hi Christopher, to add my 2c: I'm using org-mode to track our participation in a mid-sized project (9 Partners, ~30 People, 3 Years). I'm not coordinating, in which case I'd probably look for more project management centric tools, and thus found org-mode to be very useful. I use it to track the project state, not hard data (which is typically massive), our commitments and other's compliance with their commitments, and all the rest that comes up and needs project context: Ideas, tasks, deadlines, project reports what not. The outline of this file reflects the project structure. I have tags for partners and people in that file, so e.g. when I speak someone I can easily check for further things to discuss. Big projects get their own file, for smaller projects and commitments I have a few more files. I'm not using the attachments as it's unfortunately a very microsoft-wordey project where git won't help much, but plan to use them privately. Ah yes, I use org-mode for private stuff too. It's the first tool that I use for more than a month. I use export (tags) to inform my supervisor and other people on the project about certain aspects, which usually works OK. I also found the custom links to be helpful, as we have multiple web frontends for project-specific matters whose contents I can link in easily this way. The whole thing synced to a server using git, which saved my shiny a few times. This is something I wouldn't recommend anyone to put off, even if your backup schedule is in minutes.

Ah, now I'm beginning to understand: I can export a *part* of an
org-mode file; I'm not limited to exporting the whole thing. Cool!
I also use bibtex/biblatex a lot. I've started to read that these
tools work with Org-mode also. Can anyone speak to that from
experience?

Have you looked at
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/babel/uses.html
??
There are almost too many possibilities --- it is a bit overwhelming.
Here are three things I find useful:
1) The ability to export a subtree allows you to have many documents
within the *.org file. Setting EXPORT_* properties for the subtree gives
you a lot of flexibility. And it is easy to do with TAB completion to
prompt you to fill in the needed pieces.
2) Internal hyperlinks are really useful in staying on course in a big,
complicated document.
3) Noweb syntax allows you to mix and match different parts of the
document. Below is a minimal example. The latex chunks can be used
anywhere I need them. Navigating to '* mini report' and typing
'C-c @ C-c C-e l'
produces mini.tex.
