[O] Ruby babel src block does not run some code

[numbch...@gmail.com]

For example, I have a ruby src block like this:

```
#+BEGIN_SRC ruby
  module A
CREF = "*** CREF in module A"
  end

  module A
module B
  puts CREF
end
  end
#+END_SRC
```

And press `[C-c C-c]` to execute, get this error:
```
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
-:3: module definition in method body
-:4: dynamic constant assignment
  CREF = "*** CREF in module A"
^
-:7: module definition in method body
-:8: module definition in method body
#+END_EXAMPLE
```

My emacs version: 24.5.1
My org-mode version: 8.3.4 (installed from MELPA)

Re: [O] Promote/demote an Active Region

[Ron Mitchell]

Nicolas,

Upgraded to org 8.3.4, made no difference.

But I have just now realised what the problem is!   I have been using
org-demote-subtree, not org-demote , Meta-Shift-Right, not Meta-Right.  
And org-demote does indeed work on an active region for me.   I suppose
you could argue that org-demote-subtree ought to do the same, but (a)
there's no need and (b) there might be a question about what is meant by
'subtrees' in a region.

Doh!  Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Ron

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,

  |* H1
  ** H11|
  * H2

using M-Right gives

  ** H1
  *** H11

[O] [BUG] Capture template table line specification

[Christian Moe]

Hi again,

Another odd problems after updating to Emacs 24.5 and Org
8.3.4:

I have a capture template that puts the captured info into a table line
before the second horizontal line of the table.

Capture fails with this message:

Capture template `x': Invalid table line specification "II-1"

Far as I can tell from the manual, the specification is exactly right,
and it has always worked before.

Yours,

[O] Exporting a new markup

[fredtantini]

Hi everyone,

I need your help.

Prior to version 8.3.* I used a custom marker () to export keyboard
shortcut in html (that is to kbd tags). What I have done is, in ox-org.el or
org-element.el, every time there was a function with "bold" or "code",
I copied/pasted the function and modified it to meet my needs.
For instance, I have created a =org-element-my-object-keystroke-interpreter=
function, or override the =org-element-object-successor-alist= const.

I have detailed what I have done in this emacs.stackexchange answer:
http://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/12814/extending-org-mode-with-more-markups/12822#12822

My setup works great with org versions 8.2.10, but with 8.3.1 (to 8.3.4),
it doesn't do the job I have tried to edebug, and looked at commits, but
I can't pinpoint what's the problem. The Release notes doesn't seem either to
indicate that there was a change between the versions that could broke my
workflow :(

What have I missed?

Re: [O] Promote/demote an Active Region

[Ron Mitchell]

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks, that's interesting.

When I do Meta-Shift-Right on your example (with, as in yours, the
region set to the first two lines):

* H1
** H11
* H2

I get 

* H1
*** H11
* H2

It's not a problem with key binding, because I get the same result if I
execute the command 'org-demote-subtree'.

I think you might want to try the "HoK" (hit a hint for KeySnail) extension,
available here

https://github.com/mooz/keysnail/wiki/plugin

In fact, it might already be available by default (I think it was in my
installation) but you might not have key bindings set up for it (you
can check if it is available by M-x: hok)


There is a comment about this extension (and the also very neat Tanything
extension) in

http://blog.binchen.org/posts/use-firefox-in-emacs-way-3.html 


I have configured HoK in my .keysnail.js so that the behavior of HoK is now
similar to what I had with conkeror (follow links in new buffers (or tabs)
or new windows, etc).


Caveat emptor: I only started playing with KeySnail a few hours ago, after
seeing Rasmus' comment this morning.

Best,

R.

It is a replacement for (require) that takes care of installing dependencies

It looks interesting, but not interesting enough to replace

What would be interesting enough to replace it for me: getting browser
sandboxing in place.  This is the one thing that makes Chromium more
appealing than Firefox/Icecat right now... but since all we have is
Icecat, that's what I'm using here!

IIUC, Firefox actually has this behavior out of the box: press ' (single
quote) and start typing the link text.  I was surprised and pleased to
learn about that when I first found it.  That may be why it isn't
included in KeySnail.

I made some progress, I tried out docx and it failed I went back to doc
format in in the message buffer, the following lines

Executing soffice --headless --convert-to doc:"MS Word 97" --outdir 
/home/oub/tex/Proy-MTM-2016/LaTeX-org/

I tried rtf and got

/home/oub/tex/Proy-MTM-2016/LaTeX-org/ 
/home/oub/tex/Proy-MTM-2016/LaTeX-org/cv-libre.odt

Export to /home/oub/tex/Proy-MTM-2016/LaTeX-org/cv-libre.doc failed

He also claims that the directory
/home/oub/tex/Proy-MTM-2016/LaTeX-org/rft does not exist. Why the heck
he needs it is beyond me.

What I understand is that he uses soffice, which is the official old
version from my ubuntu version, I have newer versions which I installed
in /opt/libreoffice4.3 and /opt/libreoffice5.1.

How can I tell org to use those?

I set that option to the string "rtf", and everything works as expected.
You don't actually specify the preferred output, you just export to ODT,
and then the secondary conversion happens automtically. Ie, I now just
export to ODT, and automatically end up with an RTF file. I haven't
tried that programmatically, but I'd guess it works the same way: just
don't put the "doc" in there at all. Does that work?

I installed the eww-lnum package right away, as that provides the main
functionality I liked from Conkeror: hit a key, and pick a link to do
something with. Rather strangely, the KeySnail plugin for Firefox seems
to do everything *but* this, which I thought was weird since, if you're
going to control your browser through the keyboard, following links is
generally the main thing you want to do. I've only had it for a few
hours, though, so maybe I'm missing something.

In eww, I was originally looking for "open in new tab"/"open in
background tab" functionality, but it's not there. Then I discovered
that eww-lnum is supposed to provide exactly that, through various
permutations of the prefix argument to `eww-lnum-follow'. You're
supposed to get "follow in new session" with a C-u prefix, and "follow
in background" with a negative prefix. But when I used either of those
options, the links were instead opened in my (newly-installed,
newly-KeySnailed) Firefox instance.

That was unexpected, but actually welcome -- it means I have a way of
choosing whether to open links in Emacs/Eww, or Firefox. It's clearly
not the way eww-lnum is meant to work (and I'd still like to be able to
open a link in a background eww session), but that can remain another
mystery for another day.

I mostly use eww's `eww-browse-with-external-browser'-command, bound to
the &-key by default.  The external browser is specified by the
`shr-external-browser'-variable.

It should be relatively straightforward (famous last words ;-) to adapt
the script to handle VTODO items.  Can you send me an ics file with some
typical such entries?  If I have time, I'll try to update the script.

My typical use is that eww is the default for any link I run into in
emacs.  If the page visited is not appropriate, I simply hit w
(eww-copy-page-url), switch to Firefox and open the page ("o C-v RET" in

[O] org-mode -> latex

[Sharon Kimble]

For a long time I've wanted to write in org-mode and export it to latex,
but I've never been successful until now. So here is a yasnippet that
allows you to do it -

\input{foo.glos}
\input{foo.acro}

/foo/ Your main text goes here /foo/

'glos' is your glossary file, and 'acro' is your acronyms file, and 'bib' is 
your biblatex references.

'foo.glos' ;; needs to be a proper latex glossary file
'foo.acro' ;; needs to be a proper latex acronym file
'foo.bib' ;; needs to be a proper latex bib file, I'm using 'JabRef' for it.

This file will accept a 'cite:foo' for biblatex references, and also 
'\gls{foo}' for glossary and
acronym entries, and '\index{foo}' for index entries.

You *must* give the complete path of your 'foo.bib' file as it sets up where 
every other file can be
found.

This works with a complete setup of 'TexLive 2015'. 

\todo{This is how your 'TODO' items should appear}

If you don't like something, then comment it out and do a rebuild to see
if your modification works.

To use -
a - 'C-c C-e l l' to get a latex tex file
b - Then use your favourite tex command to build it into a PDF file. I
use my 'pdfbuild' file which I've uploaded to my blog "A taste of linux".

The above template will give you a nice PDF file with a table of
contents, every page with a watermark on saying 'DRAFT', the ability to
put '\todo{comments}' in to show you what needs to be done at that
point. And if you've set them up, a bibliography, glossary and acronyms
and an index.

As they say in Parliament "I commend it to the house." :)

And I hope its useful for you?

Sharon.

[O] Generate custom org-agenda

[Karl Voit]

Hi!

org-agenda-list generates my default agenda. I can generate it
via Elisp via org-agenda-list.

What about a different agenda I already defined with
org-agenda-custom-commands? Am I able to generate it via Elisp as
well?


The agenda dispatcher generates my custom agenda of choice via «n».
Is it possible to get this «n»-agenda via something like
(org-agenda-list "n") or similar?

If possible: I don't want to define the org-agenda-custom-commands
multiple times: one for the interactive org-agenda-custom-commands
and one for the Elisp-call for «n» ...

Thanks!


Background:

I'm trying to come up with a few lines of Elisp to generate a
(non-default) agenda, take a screenshot (via imagemagick), and place
its result in a specific PNG file.

So I did, and my export works now. A big thanks for showing me the right way!

This sounds interesting. What happens if one tries to link to a "nonode"

This change is unrelated to the specification.  There is
already :UNNUMBERED: property for this.

This is not specific to texinfo back-end: all export back-ends behave
this way.

The point is that you can add text around the section number. This is
the only way to get the section number of a given headline.

Instead of reducing the numbers of allowed options, you can use

  [[*Headline][{{{property(item)}}}]]

Please make a different bug report, with an ECM, about it.

I cannot reproduce it. E.g., in the following document, where region
boundaries are marked with |,

  |* H1
  ** H11|
  * H2

using M-Right gives

  ** H1

It isn't possible out of the box. Org doesn't look at the contents of
src blocks, which are supposed to be written in a foreign language.

However, you can probably write a function for your own use, starting
from `org-format-latex'.
