Re: [Orgmode] org-babel: Managing a bibtex database
Hi again, I just rethought my idea. I think even if there is no full automatic link function, it would be nice to see bibtex as a org-babel mode. My worse case scenario is as follow: Someone ask me to send the reference X or a bunch of references Y to someone in plain-text (mostly they like to copy them over in MS-word). The actual procedure: For the moment, I have to write a fake LaTeX document, and force bibtex to place all the given bibtex-keys into the references list of this document even if not really refered to it in the text. I guess I could also copy all the bibtex entires of the desired references in a singel bib-file and run bibtex manualy. But I'm doubt whether this is really faster. After that I need to copy the results from the PDF or PS file to plain text email. Wrong line breaks and format loose are the results. The org-mode babel approach would be: I would prefer two ways in a bibtex-babel set-up. 1. Take the bibtex-entires from a given database (bib-file) according to the given bibtex-keys inside the source code block. Process them by the given bibtex-style and place the result in the result section of org-babel. 2. Add full bibtex entries directly to the source code block and process them according to the given bibtex style. Place the result in the result section of org-babel. The idea to extend the link function of org-mode by linking to a bibtex- database might be the next step.

Re: [Orgmode] Open link with different suffix in org mode

In the org file, if I use a link say [[./link.org][test]], it will open the link.org file in another buffer with orgmode. It will be also true, if I use [[./ link.txt][link test]], which will open a link.txt file with Text mode. However, if I do the following: [[./test.info][test]], it will just hang there. It seems that org does not know how to deal with the .info suffix. Are there any way to set the org to open different link? I've read the org manual, but didn't find the solution. Any suggestions? Hi Xin, one solution is to customize the variable org-file-apps and add to an entry like this: Choice: Value Menu Extension: \.info\' Choice: Value Menu Visit with Emacs Any file types that have an major-mode assigned to it using auto-mode-alist will already be visited by Emacs automatically, but .info is not one of those file types. So another solution would be something like the following in your setup. (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '(\\.info\\' . text-mode)) Actualy, this is probably the better solution.

Anyway if I can force somehow to only use relative to home paths in emacs somehow it would be also fine. I have looked in the code, and I have trouble to see how file names would get into the list unabbreviated. The code explicitly abbreviates (i.e. inserts ~ for the HOME directory) for all new files. Even if you have visited the file with an absolute path. The only thing I can imagine is that you have, at some point, filled the variable in a direct way, for example using wildcard expansion like described in http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.php#set-agenda-files-using-wildcards This would insert absolute file names into the list, and once they are in there, they will not be replaced with relative ones. One way to clean up would be to remove all files from the list and start over, only adding them with your hook function. Another way would be to evaluate (i.e. put the cursor behind it and press `C-x C-e') the following form in the scratch buffer (org-store-new-agenda-file-list (mapcar 'abbreviate-file-name org-agenda-files)) Hope this helps - Carsten ___ Emacs-orgmode mailing list Please use `Reply All' to send replies to the list.

I'm not so sure about this patch. Are you sure this will work with sorting headlines? Swallowed headlines occur if end of narrowed region is at eol. What about other operations, including user-written commands? Can we be sure that they will not to swallowed headlines? IMO the behavior described as a bug by the OP is correct -- the user should insert a newline after xyz (or org could detect that and insert a newline depending on mode-require-final-newline or require-final-newline).
