Re: org-export to icalendar: ignore links?
I found the (pretty obvious) reason why I was getting errors about broken links when exporting my agenda to icalendar format: org-export-with-broken-links was not set to t. After I changed this, everything works now. Am 13.01.23 um 10:30 schrieb Ihor Radchenko: Timm Lichte writes: Thanks for your quick response!

I still cannot export org-agenda-files with broken links via org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files under Org v9.6.1, which includes the changes of your commit. Then, please provide an example of the broken export. See https://orgmode.org/manual/Feedback.html#Feedback

org-export to icalendar: ignore links?
Hi, I'm trying to export org-agenda-files to a combined ics/icalendar file via org-icalendar-combine-agenda-files, but this fails due to unresolved links in the source files. Instead of fixing these links, is there any way to make org-export more robust and just ignore the links? As far I know, they are actually not relevant for the icalendar export. As this is an important step in my daily workflow, any help is more than welcome. Best regards, Timm

This is really interesting! I can see that you are very efficient with
this. I think my solution is more using the standard org-mode
infrastructure, I don't define any export for example.
Glad you find it interesting. I think both ways of taking notes have
their merits and use cases. In small productive project meetings, I'd
rather use more of the org-mode infrastructure. When there is a larger
event with changing participants and its really important to document
and keep track of what is going on, simple annotated lists fare better
in my experience.
You can have a look at the style and code here:
https://github.com/timmli/org-minutes-dev
If I understand correctly you are defining some kind of extra list
markup (is something a task or a decision, etc) and the you wrote a
custom exporter that produces fancy LaTeX for the minutes (well, if I
understand correctly it really is a custom exporter that generates
org-mode and then LaTeX from there).
Yes, I'm basically extending the syntax for descriptions and overlaying
it with some convenient font-lock. My custom exporter pushes everything
in a temporary buffer and replaces the minutes notation with LaTeX
expressions and then starts the regular org-export. This probably looks
awkward but gives me full flexibility.
I don't quite understand how the LaTeX works. Is this some kind of two
column layout or do you keep the action item markers and the assignees
in the margin? Can you post the produced LaTeX?
The LaTeX template builds on the article documentclass and basically
puts some of the item types also on the regular margin with \marginnote
from the marginnote package. Some of the important types are also shown
in the outline using \addcontentsline.
The LaTeX document is just a list of sections with nested itemize
environments. One item would look like this:
\item \ActionTag{Peter}{::} \ActionTagMargin{Peter}Something to do.
I've pushed the TeX file of the example to the repository. Hope this
makes it clearer.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated. But keep in mind that the code is
not polished at all -- this is a hobby project of an elisp dilettante.
It would be good to package this. The code would get more usage and
you'd get more feedback.
I'm really hesitant to make this a MELPA package right away, if this is
what you mean. The font-lock and everything is really individual and
non-generic. But I'll think about it.
Best,
Timm
Thanks
Christian

Although a lot has happened in the meantime, I've not seen anything pass by which addresses minutes of meetings and tracking actions. I used to use org to take minutes but haven't done so in a very long time (advantage of having somebody else do it for me now ;-)). What you've done with an active dblock (and TODO states being the names of people!) looks good and should definitely be put on Worg at the very least.
