Sure, though the idea here is that this would provide a way we could move `(org-release)' out of the makefile and fully into elisp. I’ve done a little test, and defining `org-release' like so in `org-macs.el' seems to work quite nicely. ┌ │ (defalias 'org-release │ (eval-when-compile │ (require 'lisp-mnt) │ (eval │ `(function │(lambda () │ "The release version of Org" │ ,(lm-version "org.el")) └ As I understand it, `orgcard.tex' is currently the main blocker on us moving `org-release' out of the makefile like so? Removing the need to manually ensure that keybindings are up to date and accurate is a nice bonus. All the best, Timothy

And I don't want to be in the same situation than for the manual, where someone puts a lot of energy into something that we accept as a temporary experiment, and which becomes something like a burden for some Emacs maintainers. Timothy, I believe your efforts are worthwhile as a way to provide Emacs third-party package maintainers a way to produce a refcard-like PDF document for their libraries. But not for Org, where the refcard is really good enough as it is, especially the Emacs sync constraints we have right now. Is that okay with you? -- Bastien

I’d imagine turning the orgcard.org into orgcard.tex/pdf could just be added to the makefile, no? All the best, Timothy

Something to consider: orgcard.tex is included in the Emacs repo and fits into their refcard machinery. If the source changes from .tex to .org, the .org file must be included in the Emacs repo, as is done with the .org of the manual now (bug#45143, bug#46837). Doing so would involve extra setup and handling on the Emacs side. Even if someone on the Org side volunteers to do that work, another case of special handling probably wouldn't be received warmly.

Attempting to create orgcard.org
Hi All, I’m trying to make a .org refcard. There are two benefits I see, first we can evaluate `(org-release)' during export and so move `(org-release)' out of the makefile, secondly this enables us to have keybindings that are always up to date. Users who have customised the keybindings (or frameworks/kits like Spacemacs/Doom) could re-generate the refcard and it would show their modified keybindings. I have something that I think looks fairly promising (see the attached file), but I’m currently struggling to get the command list to wrap across columns nicely, I’m currently using tables and I just haven’t quite been able to get it to work. If there are any LaTeX-sperts on the list who could give this a look, I’d be quite appreciative. All the best, Timothy orgcard.org Description: Lotus Organizer
