Re: [O] [Orgmode] Feature request: IDs on anything
Apparently my post wasn't connected to the original thread, so here it is - http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2009-03/msg00176.html Samuel, may be i will start implementing something like that locally, on my computer. Org already can substitute a spreadsheet or a plain-text data storage with tables, a wiki with external and internal links etc, but it still can't be a full-pledged key-value store (which can be used as semantic NoSQL database). So i would start implementing maps (dicts, key-value stores) upon org-mode. I want to do it incrementally, adding one small feature at a time. I want to implement the following features: - Automatically assign unique IDs to all headlines in buffer/region/subtree - Nested properties (properties are maps basically) - does that require nested drawers? - Property :LINKS: and commands to navigate across headlines linked to each other - Previous property does not set the nature of a link (parent, child, prerequisite, reference), implement :LINK-TYPE: or something like that - Previous task allows to export to RDF, because now any relationship of headlines can be seen as triple headline1 - type-of-link - headline2 These additions do not require any new syntax, they build upon good old properties. After that id-markers would be a magnificent generalization. Also, i do not promise i will do this anytime soon, i'm no expert in Emacs Lisp. Any thoughts welcome :)
Re: [O] [Orgmode] Feature request: IDs on anything
I really love this idea of ID markers. It would open so many opportunities
for semantic extensions of org-mode and not only. Using ID markers we can
make a associative array (map, dict, key-value store) out of anything.
Meaningful task planning, project management, knowledge and information
management could be made out of that. Every ID marker will effectively
become a graph vertice.
As a variant, i would propose the Clojure syntax for maps:
{B7423F4D-2E8A-471B-8810-C40F074717E9 {:label foo :export-label bar}}
Or something like that. The nested maps are like in NoSQL DBs (ex:
CouchDB), where you have structure like {:database1 {:document1 {:key1
value1 :key2 { ... } ... } ... } ... }
However i found that curly braces are used in many occasions in org-mode:
tags mutual exclusion, column attribute summary-type, capture templates -
template expansion, tag regular expressions, #+caption: [1]{2}, macro
replacement, embedded latex, source code.
So if this syntax is unacceptable, $[] is fine too.
[O] M-RET and C-RET
You can use M-RET-may-split-line, to make it respect content in lists, more or less. I would guess the reason that they are different is to be able to always easily start a new heading. This is very helpful, thank you. But how to make it so M-RET will: 1. not split line; 2. add new list item while on plain list; AND 3. add new heading after content of the current heading? Maybe there should be a variable in addition to 'org-M-RET-may-split-line' such as 'org-M-RET-add-after-content'. Btw, i think it is bad to name an Emacs after keyboard combination, because it is ambiguous in case user remap M-RET. This is a minor issue, but still :)
[O] M-RET and C-RET
Hello everyone, M-RET works with both headings and plainlists, it's DWIM. C-RET works only with headings. I wanted to ask, why C-RET is not DWIM? Wouldn't users want to add new list item respecting the content? Thanks in advance.
Re: [O] Add publishing with utf8
Now i have (set-language-environment UTF-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (setq org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) and publishing works perfectly. Funny, that i have every locale set to en_US.UTF-8, but LANGUAGE and LC_ALL set to empty. But when i set them to en_US.UTF-8, Emacs still opens non-utf8 files as undecided-unix. In file-coding-system-alist i found expression ( undecided) and when i changed it to utf-8-unix, every file started opening with this encoding. I've solved my problem, thanks to you all. I only not sure why opening everything as utf8 wasn't made default in Emacs.
Re: [O] Add publishing with utf8
I added this to my .emacs: (set-language-environment UTF-8) (prefer-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) (org-export-html-coding-system 'utf-8-unix) but Emacs still opens files with pure ASCII as undecided-unix, thus producing wrong iso-8859-1 in my charsets again. I don't know what to do. Is there any way to force Emacs open any file as utf-8?
[O] Add publishing with utf8
I use standard org-mode methods to publish my projects to html. However by default they are published with tag meta http-equiv=Content-Type content=text/html;charset=iso-8859-1/, however i need charset to be changed to utf8, as i am using Russian in my blog too. Please make it possible somehow. Best wishes.
