Re: [O] org-cook
thank you all for the great answers Fletcher, your idea sounds great, but why not use org tables as people suggested for ingredients. ive started using it yesterday and im very pleased, in example: *** COOK Pancakes:American: :PROPERTIES: :Source: TV :Serves: :Time: :Rating: :Fav: :END: | Quantity | scale | Ingredient| Instructions | |--+---+---+--| |8 | | eggs | | |1 | liter | milk | | | 350 | g | butter| melted | | 730 | g | flour | | | 90 | g | powderd sugar | | | 60 | g | baking powder | | | 10 | g | salt | | _*Directions*:_ best Z On Mon, Mar 17, 2014 at 4:22 PM, Fletcher Charest < fletcher.char...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello everyone, > > Since we are on this subject, are you aware of any package that would make > an 'automatic' shopping list based on recipes?

Re: [O] org-cook
Thanks so much for the tips Erik i will explore the ingredients in table idea as suggested. do you know perhaps of a way to quick format online recipes to an org table (that is webpage html to org table) or perhaps a way to convert already entered recipes in my org files to tables kind regards Z.

[O] capture takes ~ 10-20 seconds to load a capture-template
Hi all
I have a weird issue i really dont know how to debug. i have managed to get
org-capture working very well to my needs. only issue is when I launch
org-capture (C-c c) and choose a capture template it takes around 10-20
seconds to load the capture-template. it happens with any capture
templeates i try. any idea whats causing this?
here is my current capture config

Re: [O] custom emacs org-emphasis-alist breaks EXPORT, help ;-) ?
Thank you Eric and Jambunathan
Eric: i tried with the added backslash but that dosent seem to work as
well, would you mind testing the snippet below on your system? is it still
something wrong im doing?
;test
(font-lock-add-keywords
'org-mode
'(("\\b[Ss]alt\\b)" (0 '(:weight ultra-bold :foregroun "#FF9800") t
Jambunathan: hi-lock-mode looks interesting and i will investigate it
soon, is it per file settings, or can you define a word/fg-bg rule that
will apply to all files?
thanks alot guys, really appreciate it!

Re: [O] custom emacs org-emphasis-alist breaks EXPORT, help ;-) ?
Thanks Eric , really appreciate the continuous help!
i do plan to get into rexeg on the future (i promise :)) but real life now
just allow me to allocate time (i started an assistant professor position
and time is at a huge premium..).
i tried using this as i tried to understand from your email, but i guess im
again doing something wrong. shouldn't the below example color "salt", it
dosent see to work.
;test
(font-lock-add-keywords
'org-mode
'(("\b[Ss]alt\\b)" (0 '(:weight ultra-bold :foregroun "#FF9800") t
thank you for all your help

Re: [O] custom emacs org-emphasis-alist breaks EXPORT, help ;-) ?
Hi again all
i have been using the before discussed font lock with great success over
the past few weeks, thx alot for that tip!
one short question i have from using it thourhgly is weather its possible
to color specific words , IE not just text bound between symbols ( ie >
!text! ) but rather lets say i always want to make the word server appear
with blue FG. is this possible? currently i tried
(font-lock-add-keywords
'org-mode
'(("\\(server[^server\n]+server\\)" (0 '(:foreground "#00" :underline t
:background "#FF9AEA" :weight ultra-bold) t
instead of the original
(font-lock-add-keywords
'org-mode
'(("\\(₆[^₆\n]+₆\\)" (0 '(:foreground "#00" :underline t :background
"#FF9AEA" :weight ultra-bold) t
again i apologize for my regrex ignorance :)

Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating
Hi again all
so i tried playing around with the latex options, read the Latex org manual
part but still confused and i still get the lines cut.
the one thing that did work was using this:
begin{itemize}
\item testing1 the long lines testing2 the long lines testing3 the long
lines testing4 the long lines testing5 the long lines testing6 the long
lines
\item
\item
\item
\item
\end{itemize}
but that seems very cumbersome, inserting it every time, writing the lines
after the \items etc..
I am really content with using the org example method. is there no way to
make the exporter to pdf (latex i guess) auto wrap lines?
thx alot

Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating
Thanks again guys Rick: "But a better approach would be to define your own latex list environment for program steps and use lists:" ive never used latex, do you mind expanding on that a bit? Eric: "I don't think it's cut, is it? I just tried with your example and long lines are preserved as-is (ie, quite long)" this is how it looks in my pdf export: https://paste.xinu.at/sYsMVz/ i just want all the line to appear in the pdf and not get cut (that is have it auto wrap when the like nears a paper edge) Glyn: thx alot for the example. That does work but then i really hate manually having to add the '-' at the start of each page and then also indenting each line, is there a solution for that? i really appreciate all the help, you guys are great help! z.

Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating
Thank you Eric and Rick! Eric: The #+OPTIONS: \n:nil didn't do much here even using the default templates for export as suggested Rick: i think i can live with the #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE blocks , is there a way to define wrapping text in the block? as you said using the block currently cuts off text towards the lines end Appreciate all the help from everyone. thanks alot! z.

Re: [O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating
Thank you all "I think `org-export-preserve-breaks' is the option you want. Try setting it in a single buffer with #+OPTIONS:\n:nil and see what happens..." that sounds interesting, but i couldn't understand how to use it (again im still an org novice:) ) do i stick this line at the start: #+OPTIONS:\n:nil is that ^^ syntax correct? best Z On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 12:39 PM, Suvayu Ali wrote: > On Tue, Oct 22, 2013 at 09:55:12AM +0200, Xebar Saram wrote: > > > > I'm trying to write a simple guidebook for my students in a GIS course. > > Everything works great apart for the life of me i cant get the hang of > > formatting and specifically how to insert (automatically?) line breaks so > > that its discrete lines and not a paragraph. i think one can use '\\' to > > indicate a line break but since its a guidebook "form" there are almost > no > > paragraphs and most line are 1 liners, so it seems to me crazy to go over > > hundred lines of text and attach a \\ at the end.

[O] trying to write a guidebook for students using org , need help with formating
Hi all i decided to dive into the deep water and get rid of M$ word once and for all. I'm still an org novice but since i love org i choose org for the task. I'm trying to write a simple guidebook for my students in a GIS course. Everything works great apart for the life of me i cant get the hang of formatting and specifically how to insert (automatically?) line breaks so that its discrete lines and not a paragraph. i think one can use '\\' to indicate a line break but since its a guidebook "form" there are almost no paragraphs and most line are 1 liners, so it seems to me crazy to go over hundred lines of text and attach a \\ at the end. What am i missing here? i hope i made sense :) any help or documentation links would be really appreciated! I'm attaching a short example of my org file, note that where i want single lines i add a empty space between lines but still in the exporter it creates a paragraph out of these lines thx alot Z. ex_l1.1.org Description: Binary data

Re: [O] Drag images from Firefox to org-mode
Thx Oleh ,This is really amazing! Ive been waiting for ages for something like this. a few questions (well ok"requests" :)..) if you dont mind. please bare in mind i have zero coding skills (or understanding so my questions may be stupid :)) 1.i use alot of images and :in alot of headings and sub headings and the current method creates tens of folders. can you make an option to store all images in a central location, IE ~/org/images? also Torstens suggestion of adding a date to the file name makes alot of sense :) 2.can you add an option to add a local file (IE drag a jpg/png from a folder) or even better yet build into the script a screenshot ability function (using scrot etc) like in the following script: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-orgmode/2013-05/msg00873.html 3.maybe perhaps a text scraper that would do the same for formatted text, so one would mark a section in the browser, and drag it into org (and the script would automagicly would get rid of the html yuckyness << notice my highly technical coding terms and knowledge) best and thanks alot!

Re: [O] custom emacs org-emphasis-alist breaks EXPORT, help ;-) ?
thx again Eric
i still have an issue with this when one of the symbols used to start/end
the highlight is used in a sentence, for example using your code:
(font-lock-add-keywords
'org-mode
'(("-1-\\([^-1-]+\\)-1-" (0 '(:weight ultra-bold :background "#DDFFDD"
:foreground "#00") t
if i write this:
-1- this is a test of 1x1 to show higlight -1-
it will kill the highlight, if i use the same text omitting the '1' it
works well, anyway around this issue? i thought it would have matcehd -1-
but it seems it matches also just 1 by itself
best wishes and thx again

Thank you so much Eric
that works well apart from as you said it sometime "spills" over to other
uneeded lines. any idea of how to limit the number of newlines that
the regexp can match?

Thx Bastien! i look at it but it seemed highly complex (im an academic and dont know much (well nothing tbh :) ) about programming. is there a simple way of defining these like the GUI for org-emphasis-alist (i used customize-variables ) as you said i just want to highlight (BG/FG) specific areas/lines. any help would be greatly appreciated! best guys Itai On Fri, Oct 4, 2013 at 10:21 AM, Bastien wrote: > Hi Xebar, > > Xebar Saram writes: > > > so after struggling for weeks to figure out why i always get an error > > when exporting i finally nailed the issue: org-emphasis-alist. i have > > alot of them (see below) and use them in orgmode quite often. is this > > a bug or if you want to use the exporter you should avoid using > > org-emphasis-alist? > > You use org-emphasis-alist to do simple highlighting, right? > > In that case, using you should better use `font-lock-add-keywords'. > > See http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/AddKeywords for details. > > HTH, > > -- > Bastien >
[O] custom emacs org-emphasis-alist breaks EXPORT, help ;-) ?
hi all
so after struggling for weeks to figure out why i always get an error when
exporting i finally nailed the issue: org-emphasis-alist. i have alot of
them (see below) and use them in orgmode quite often. is this a bug or if
you want to use the exporter you should avoid using org-emphasis-alist?
thx alot

[O] export error "unknown marker at"
Hi all i tried this with various org mode files i have and its always the same. whenever i go to export an org mode file via C-c C-e i get the following error: "unknown marker at X" where X is different from file to file. i go to line X in each file and take a look but nothing seems out of the ordinary. i even delete that file but nothing helps. i habe yet to be able to export orgmode files. Im using latest org from MELPA (0.8.1) and latest emacs. any help/ideas to solve this would be greatly appreciated Z.

Re: [O] style the tags with colors in theme
thx again for the answer but it dosent see to work here:
https://paste.xinu.at/KlvP/
this is what i have in my config:
(setq org-tag-faces '(
("mru" :inherit org-done :box nil :underline t :height 1.2)
("Fav" :foreground "blue" :box nil :underline t :height
1.2)))
i restarted emacs but still see fav as a regular tag with out a foreground
of blue etc
any ideas what im doing wrong?

The ATTACH tag is automatically added when I attach a file to a headline
(see Attachments in the org-mode manual [[info:org#Attachments]]). It's
the only tag I like to change appearance and thus I used it as an
example. But the same procedure should work with other tags.
A very important detail is that you need to restart Emacs. In the
documentation of org-tag-faces it says "If you set it with Lisp, a
restart of Emacs is required to activate the changes."
Therefore, put something like the code below in your initialization file
and restart Emacs and it should work
--8<---cut here---start->8---
(setq org-tag-faces '(
("SomeTag" :inherit org-done :box nil :underline t :height
1.2)
("SomeOtherTag" :foreground "blue" :box nil :underline t
:height 1.2)))
--8<---cut here---end--->8---
I think that the tags don't need to be in org-tag-alist for this to
work.

[O] shortcut to create a heading already with todo included
Hya guys i know this is probably a silly question but does anyone know how to make a shortcut that inserts a heading which already includes a TODO state? i have a main file named todo.org in which all heading are todos. each time i need to do a 2 step process: add heading and then add a todo state, so im looking for a quicker way to add a todo item (IE a keybind to add a already todo header). another better solution if possible would be maybe reassign the C-Enter keybind to create a todo header only in a specific file (todo.org) if thatspossible? thx alot in advance Z
Re: [O] advice needed: how do you guys sync org files between devices?
Thx Chris its funny you just posted this as of all the excellent responses in this thread i was looking into git-annex as a solution. The issue is that im not very technical (im an academic not a programmer) and its seems mighty complicated. Also in addition git-assistant is currently isnt available for windows (which im forced to use at work unfortunately..) do you know of a good (simple) guide for git-annex? would you mind to elaborate more on your complete setup? also do you use it to sync with android? thx alot and thank you all who sent responses, its greatly appreciated ! best -itai On Mon, Jul 8, 2013 at 11:53 AM, Christopher Allan Webber < cweb...@dustycloud.org> wrote: > Ian Barton writes: > > > On 01/07/13 13:06, Xebar Saram wrote: > >> Hi all > >> > >> I have been using dropbox since i started using orgmode a few weeks ago > >> (yeah im a neewb :)), which kinda works but i find it very annoying as > >> it keeps creating conflicted copies, isnt reliable on my Linux main > >> machine etc etc.. > >> > >> I was wondering what you guys do for syncing org files between PC's, > >> Os's, devices (android etc).. > >> > > > > I used to use Dropbox and git.

Wow thx guys, so many great tips ill slowly start looking into them. as i said i am a neewb (and not to technical :)).

[O] advice needed: how do you guys sync org files between devices?
Hi all I have been using dropbox since i started using orgmode a few weeks ago (yeah im a neewb :)), which kinda works but i find it very annoying as it keeps creating conflicted copies, isnt reliable on my Linux main machine etc etc.. I was wondering what you guys do for syncing org files between PC's, Os's, devices (android etc).. Best Itai

Re: [O] Differnet bg/fg by code block type
Hi again i understood from Fabrice (the dev of the excellent excellent leuven-theme) that currently Org mode only uses one background face for all the code blocks. Is that something one can request for (different color background face for different code blocks (IE, Bash,Lisp,R)? if so where should one file that request? (mailing list, bug tracker etc?) best wishes all and have a great weekend!

Re: [O] BUG (?): org capture insist *.org file changed in disk, wipes file each time
Hi again all
So after further long investigation it seems to me that the issues is
caused from the capture template of all things. if i switch back to a basic
capture template like this:
(setq org-capture-templates
'(("t" "Todo" entry (file+headline "~/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org"
"Tasks")
"* TODO %?\n %i\n %a")
("j" "Journal" entry (file+datetree "~/org/journal.org")
"* %?\nEntered on %U\n %i\n %a")))
i dont seem to get the changed on disk error again. i have tried isolating
the exact cause with no success. my config looks like this:
(setq org-capture-templates
(quote (
("x" "todo_nix" entry (file+headline
"/home/zeltak/Dropbox/Org/agenda/TODO.org" "Linux")
"* TODO %^{Description} %^g Added: %U" )

(y, n, r or C-h) y File on disk now will become a backup file if you save these changes. It happens each time i relaunch emacs/org but never on the first time i capture (that always works). it always happens from 2/3rd time i try to capture. I have tired many things with no succes. i have tried it both with org 8.03 and other org that comes with default emacs 24 (from the 7.x series) with no success. i have checked carefully that no other app is accessing that file while emacs/org is editing it i have moved the todo file and relevant org capture config to other folders (non dropbox/git/etc) and still the same issue occurs another big issue is that sometime when i press Yes to the above error it wipes the whole todo file and puts only the latest capture any help would be greatly appreciated for reference here is my complete emacs conf file (in org mode format): https://paste.xinu.at/p27KN/ and the relevant capture part: https://paste.xinu.at/Autp/ Best Z.
