Hi list, I'm regularily using Org for taking notes in meetings. It's very handy to be able to send a HTML/PDF report to everyone quickly. While doing this, I like to link some parts of the text that need to be searched further, after the meeting.
Then I'm using this small function to convert the selected text into a google search: (defun bzg-org-googlify-region (beg end) "Convert the selected region into a google search. This requires that \"google\" is an abbreviated link for http://www.google.com/search?q=%s"; (interactive "r") (let ((query (buffer-substring beg end))) (delete-region beg end) (insert (org-make-link-string (concat "google:" query) query)))) This can be generalized for any kind of abbreviated link: (defun bzg-org-abbrev-linkify-region (beg end) "Convert the selected region into an abbreviated link." (interactive "r") (let ((abbrev (completing-read "Abbrev: " (mapcar (lambda (x) (list (concat (car x) ":"))) (append org-link-abbrev-alist-local org-link-abbrev-alist)))) (reg (buffer-substring beg end))) (delete-region beg end) (insert (org-make-link-string (concat abbrev reg) reg)))) I guess this might be useful to other people... -- Bastien _______________________________________________ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Remember: use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.
